Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Magic Soap review

They was not lying when they put on this bottle magic soap. Everytime I use it, i swear its doing magical tricks. This soap is the BOMB.com.org.net. I use this darn thing for everything.

Before I go into my Rant let me tell you the ingredients:
Water, Organic Coconut oil, Potassium Hydroxide, Organic Olive Oil, Mentha Arvensis, Organic Hemp Oil, Organic Jojoba oil, Organic peppermint oil, Citric Acid, Tocopherol

I use this thing to wash my clothes, my face, to take a shower, wash my hair etc

I wouldnt use this as a every week shampoo for my hair. I wash my (natural)hair with it once a month and it clarifies it amazinginglyyy lol if thats even a word! I mean my hair be sparkling fresh.

Some say its too harsh to use on the body and skin but i think those people are afraid of the peppermint because it gets me so clean and just inhaling it alone makes it a relaxing experience

I really LOVE this stuff and got myself the biggest bottle they sold because when i tell you a little goes a long way I aint lying! This stuff will last you a good 2 years.

You can always try buying it from their website but i got mines in a beauty supply store for $12.99

E.L.F Makeup Mist & Spray

So Ive been looking for a product that can be used instead of the MAC Fix plus. There's is too pricey for a college kid tryna save. So i embarked on the E.L.F version.

1) It was only $3

2) I ammm in love with this product

My only Con is that the bottle is just soooo small to me but for $3 i guess it balances out with other competing products

It does exactly what it says it will do. It refreshens my makeup. My makeup last all day and Im not a fan of a very matte finish so i love the dewy look it gives my face. I have combination skin and i dont get oily or dry with this. My face just seems natural looking.

So overall this product gets a two thumbs up from me and for only $3 at target yes girl I will be stacking up very soon!
You can find out more information on their website

Insanity DVD vs Gym

I already made up my mind that I will be losing weight but now the question is how. Do I go to a supermarket and just buy a bunch of spinach and lettuce *sick face* I dont even want to use the word diet because I understand now that this is a lifestyle change so at the end of all of this I dont revert back into to ms fatty fat fatcakes...yes i just said that thats what everyone in my family calls me ( but ill talk about that in another post smh)

Anywhose, the point of the matter is I dont know how to cook healthy...recipes get pricy whats a broke colleg kid to do?

So hear me out....I got the Insanity DVD's and my sister (the only one that truly gets me) offered to pay for my gym membership. So now im wondering Dvd's....gym....Dvd's....gym...both? I guess this is going to have to be trial and error.

If your out there and on a weight loss journey whether your just starting or you was successful at losing weight please comment below and let me know what tips you used. I understand what worked for you may not work for me but its good to hear other options because obviously what ive been doing has not been working.  Thanks in advance :)

Pre-Weightloss Journey

You ever got tired of being tired? Well im at that point in my life where im so TIRED  starting weightloss journeys just to fail miserably. Weightloss is not only physical it is mental also. I believe i am mentally ready. You got to make that choice and im sure you will know it when you have made that choice. To be like enough is enough . I feel like a prisoner in my own body

I want to take this time out to thank http://tinadivatv.blogspot.com/ Yes girl shout out to you lol because I am starting over and it is you who have inspired me to do so!!!

 I am not happy with how I look and instead of complaining and stuffing my face with jelly donuts (emotional eating) Im going to follow through this time!

Later on I will post some beginning pictures and body measurements so I can keep track and keep myself liable of my progress but for now you can either add me on http://www.myfitnesspal.com/bluebarbie
( which is my favorite site to track calories)

Right now ill just show my Goals:

Current weight: 241.5
Goal weight by 2/16/2012:237
Goal Weight by 3/1/2012:233
Goal Weight by: 3/15/2012:229
Goal Weight by: 3/29/2012:225
Short term Goal by 4/12/2012:220
