well hello my loves, I’m very sorry for the long break I took. I have to be honest I really needed to take care of me and my newborn baby. The delivery was a little bit scary. We’re not going to talk about that don’t worry. in this blog post we’ll talk about the 10 things I’m currently obsessed about.

1. Juicing

I had the desire to start juicing when I was 38 weeks pregnant. I had absolutely no idea that I would love it as much as I do!! I do different kind of juice and I’m always excited for the next recipe so far I lost 20.2 lbs

2. coffee

yes I know that you already know that. If you didn’t now you know haha.

3. Perfume

A woman’s perfume tells more about her than her handwriting. – Christian Dior I believe that you don’t need an explanation…

4. lip gloss

I just want to remind you ladies you do not need makeup to be beautiful it’s all about your character. But I do like a good lip gloss just to add a little sparkle into my day.

5. Fashion

I love to look beautiful because I believe when I look good I feel good. I literally feel like amazing in the right outfit. « The secret of great style is to feel good in what you wear. » Inès de la Fressange

6. Shoes

I’ve always like a good pair of shoes. I have a pair of shoes for every occasions. I don’t own a lot of flats but I’m working on it guys

7. My business

As you guys know I’m a new entrepreneur and I launched my business earlier this year and I’m working really hard to succeed at what I do. Being an event decorator was a dream of mine since I was 16 years old. By the grace of God I have the chance to do what I like for a living.

8. The bible app

I know it sounds crazy but it’s true I just love the bible app so much. I’ve finally found the perfect bible app and I believe it would be a blessing to you as well. the devotional plans are just the best. https://www.youversion.com/

9.Home decor

My husband and I got a new place!!! we started in a 1 bedroom and God gave us a 3 bedroom and it’s pretty big. you know what that means right? I spend more time on Pinterest looking at home decor. I also do a lot of shopping at Homegoods I’ll have a video for you guys.

10. Trying new things

As a mom of 2 I try to take the kids to new places for new adventures. I have to thank my kids because I get to things I wouldn’t normaly do by myself such as pumpkin patch, new Ice cream place, go to the museum or go to a new park

Why I Use Henna On My Hair

janvier 21, 2019janvier 21, 2019 Marie ElisabethLaisser un commentaire

What is Henna? Henna is powdered leaves use to dye hair or decorate the body.

What’s in my henna? (I use the Nupur brand)

Hibiscus: rejuvenates hair

Brahmi: promotes hair growth

Shikakai: Leaves hair clean and shining

Methi: conditions, nourishes and revitalizes hair

Neem: fights scalp infection

Jatamansi: prevents graying of hair

Aloe vera: moisturizes hair

Bhringraj: makes hair luxuriant

Amla: darkens hair color

Here’s all the reasons why I use henna.

Stronger hair
healthier hair
promotes hair growth
lighten my hair
great smell (not everyone can say the same)
Shine my hair

Henna is a very long process first of all I let it soak for 4 hours and then I put it in my hair, I leave it for 5 hours then I rinse it out. * It takes time to rinse out so be patient ladies.

here are my mixtures:

1: 4 Tbsp of Henna + 1 Tsp of honey + 1 cup of warm water

2: 4 Tbsp of Henna + 1 Tbsp of olive oil + 2 Tbsp of lemon juice + warm water

3: 4 Tbsp of henna + 2 cups of warm green tea + 1 Tbsp of coconut oil

How often do I it?

*Well it depends… When I wear wigs I do it every week. When I have braids I do it after I take my braids down. I do it before a protective hairstyle and I do it again after I take it down.

Where to get it?

I always get it at my local Indian store but if you don’t have an Indian store where you live you can also get it online CLICK HERE

Top 5 Nail Polish For Summer

janvier 9, 2019 Marie ElisabethLaisser un commentaire

I will be sharing with you my top 5 nail polish for summer. I have more, but I think it’s best to talk about my favorite ones only. Before we start I just want to give you one tip that helps me save money. DO YOUR OWN NAILS!!! I used to go to the salon every 4 weeks for my nails and it’s really a waste of money. I’m not going to lie, I do get my nails done, but only for special occasions. *This post may contain affiliate links*

P2 #030 Name: Bronze Cut. Buy it here

I got this nail polish 3 weeks ago and I’m kinda obsessed with it. I just can’t get enough 😍. It dries super fast too, that’s one thing that makes me even more obsessed.

2. P2 #154 Name Cute Girl. Buy it here

I got this one a couple of months ago and I really like it. I like the gel look of it. This color is really modest and classic at the same time.

3. Pure Ice #1554 Name: I’m a Unicorn. But it Here

First of all I love the name because I’m obsessed with 🦄!!! To be honest, that’s the main reason why I bought it. When I put it on the first time I was shocked to see how beautiful it was there is something about it that I can’t explain. 💅🏽

4. Pure Ice #966 Name: Absolutely Mauvelous Get It

You know mauve means pale purple, but this one is not pale at all. It’s a really dark purple, but it’s really beautiful. I love how classic it is.

5. Ciaté London Name: Beach Melba. Buy it here

This is the most expensive nail polish I own 😱. This is the perfect nude for summer. to be honest with you the thing I love the most about Ciaté is that their products are 80% natural, paraben free, vegan and gluten free.

Thank you for reading 😘

Beauty products must have

janvier 7, 2019janvier 7, 2019 Marie ElisabethLaisser un commentaire

Don’t we all have these products that we can’t live without? I’m always busy and running so ALWAYS have these products in my car.

My first one is face wipes! I use them a lot specially after the gym. I really have sensitive skin so I try to use the ones without scent.

You guys know I have a really dry skin so I always need me some body lotion. I like a good moisturizing lotion in the morning.

In my family we kinda have cracked lips. I struggled all my life with that and I used to be ashamed of my lips. But ever since I found these lips exfoliator my life changed.

Mascara!! I look really sleepy without it. so I have one in each and every purse I own. It doesn’t matter the brand as long as it’s waterproof.

lip balm is very important to me because it helps keep my lips moisturize at all time. specially during winter time. I really like the ones with shea butter.
