How do I keep my red hair “that red” is a question I get all the time. I must say that being a red head is as much and sometimes more work than being a blonde.  Some things you should be prepared for are; having everything white be stained either red or pink, touch ups every three weeks, comments (good and bad) and being stared at. Since I have become a redhead I have gotten more compliments and comments about my hair than I have EVER have in my entire life! However it is a lot of work to keep it looking vibrant and healthy is a lot of work.  Please consider the cost of up keep when you decide to go red. It chaps my ass when I see people walking around with faded colored hair looks like baby carrot throw up! GROSS! When I started I had colored hair that was a darker brown with some red highlights.

I truly only have one favorite this month! I am obsessed with the Jaclyn Hill favorites palette by Morphe brushes! The colors are so beautiful, they blend well and at 27 bucks you cannot go wrong. I even love the more warm tones with the orangy browns...there are a lot of matte shades a few shimmers and one or two glittery shades. This would be a perfect gift for your mother! Wife or girlfriend. The color combos are endless and this could be your daily go to palette. This palette is also great for every skin tone and is so universal.  I highly recommend this palette!

I did go to the gym a few times and I was doing ok. However late at night I would get into the candy and sweets.So instead of giving up I made a promise with myself. I want and need to be healthy for my children but mostly myself. I want to feel better. I need to feel better. I often eat out of boredom or when I am said. So my goal for May is to be down to 190 pounds, which I think is alot considering I failed my April goal. So I decided I wanted to just be under 200 pounds. I plan on taking the following steps to subside my endless nightly eating I tend to do. 1. I have made a list of things "to do" when I am feeling like eatin...
