Pixie Dislikes 2012
Leave a CommentI have two products that I gave the old college try, last month. Neither of them worked for me!
1. GHD Thermal Protector for Normal/Fine Hair
First off, I don’t have Normal or Fine Hair! But this product, which I got free from Sephora, made my hair hard and dry. It has alcohol as the 2nd ingredient so that should have been a clue. It smells of alcohol and feels like hair spritz. I can’t use this on my hair!!
2. Ultra Sheen Supreme Super Smooth & Hold Flat Iron Spray
Some one on Long Hair Care Forum gave this code for a freebie, I said what the hey, its free right? Well once again, it didn’t work for my hair. It had the same effect as the GHD, alcohol, dry, hard hair.

Breakfast Review
After running a 5k earlier this month me and a friend, and my kid, had an awesome breakfast. We are at Cafe Brazil in Dallas’ Deep Ellyn neighborhood. Food and atmosphere was great. I had pancrepes and for 7.99 it was way too much food.
If you are in Dallas, stop by one of their locations to experience the yumminess!

DIY Clip In Extensions
My friends daughter did clip in extensions that she made. After seeing her results I figured I could do the same. I watched a few videos on YouTube like the one here:
Afterwards I followed the steps and made my own. I washed.and.conditioned my hair. I used these products as leave ins:
Elasta QP’s leave in moisturizing.spray, Chi Keratin Mist, and Redken Smooth Down Heat Glide(heat protectant).
Next, I part my hair and clip in my pieces. The end result:

Getting a Bob…
So my hair appointment will be on Thursday. If you have followed my inconsistent posts, my goal was to grow out my pixie cut. I was hoping to be at full bob by Jan 2013. I’ll be getting my bob on Thursday!!! Can’t believe I made it.
I’ve been letting my hair grow out without shaping since April 2012. Mostly I’ve been protective styling with buns, braidouts, and most recently clip in extensions, more on this DIY later.
I’ve posted some pics below of my before hair, and I’ll update the blog with the reshape once it’s complete.
Enjoy.
Freshly washed
Blowdried
Flatironed
I’m hoping to lose.an inch off the back and cut the bangs to mid nose. My hair in these pics is 9 weeks post relaxer. I’ll be getting a relaxer on Thursday.

Over Protective
I I’ve been wearing my hair straightened after months of protective styling. I am constantly paranoid about breakage as a result. So I’m going back under wraps with my hair to continue to hit my hair goals. Usually you will find my hair in a bun, phony pony, or twisting. With my growth I’m now able to do flat twists around the perimeter. One more protective style so I can continue growing my hair back. #growwithme

My Sick Shoe Game
I’ve recently been finding shoes for great prices. I’ll bring my latest fashion finds to you weekly or as they come about.
First up, I’d been searching for cobalt shoes. Preferably a pair that could be worn anywhere and most preferably suede(or suede-esque). I found this pair during Forever 21′s BOGO Free Sale. The color is rich they look and feel awesome! All for 13.99.
Check them out and tell me what you think. I’ll post some pics once I wear them.

I’m Baaaccckkk…4 good
Hello to those of you still checking in, and those who will view going forward. I know no posts in 5 months, terrible. I have truly been swamped with life, and can finally see some light emerging so that I can restart my blog. Actually this time away has inspired me to become more serious and active. I will release a posting schedule this week. And I’m on the look out for more traffic and exposure. Hang out, enjoy the journey because it’s about to get really interesting in here.
Candy Like
I love these sandals. I was lucky enough to nab these on the clearance at H&M for 10.00 they were originally 49.99.
They remind me of old school Candies–hence the title.
The polish is a mint color from one of the H&M mini polish sets.
