i think most women, including myself, would spend as much as they could on skin care. i also think a lot of women, including myself again, have dropped a stack or two on skin care products to get clear and healthy skin forgoing those cute shoes that just went on sale, just to be able to afford a bottle of product that you hope works.
i don’t know about you, but i can spend hours reading beauty product bottles in the drug store or higher end beauty stores. i used to constantly be on the lookout for the next thing to help my skin battle through breakouts and unevenness. i actually prefer pretty shoes over spending a grip on skin care so when i was afforded the opportunity to try the new ambi® skincare regimen i was excited. one, because ambi is a brand that i’ve known since i was a cheer-leading, debate teaming and french clubbing high schooler and two, the brand is still affordable and well within my reach.
after trying the products for a couple of weeks i have to say that [click to continue…]

OK, so this segment of “That ISH Cray” may not be so insane for a few of you big spenders, but it does pose a particularly interesting question:
How much are you willing to pay for a fly pair of shades?
I love how the perfect sunglasses complete a look or can make you farmer’s market ready in five, buuut…I confess, I don’t keep up with them. They get scratched, they break, they take long vacations at other people’s houses–I’m the worst. Yet, I love them, and will gladly buy more in green, blue, pink, black…you name it. Sunglasses are definitely a summer staple, and this handcrafted pair of horn and wood, black and white glasses are a quality selection for anyone’s wardrobe.
Consider the no-name knock offs at your corner beauty supply, and even the [click to continue…]

In a perfect spring print, this beautiful floral print fishtail top is girly without being “princessy”, and the back gives just the right amount of sexy– great for bringing out your romantic side with a neutral bottom, or making a statement in a brightly colored jean.

I know you’re trying to get your hair to grow in some places but to go away in others. At least I am. However, I have an aversion to pain so waxing ain’t gone work.

Mother Knows Best, Or Does She?
Ah, Mother’s Day. It’s the day set aside to especially honor and celebrate our mothers and the influence they’ve had on our lives. A plethora of poems, a quantity of quotes, a trove of tributes will inundate the internet… enough to make you shed a tear, then roll your eyes. Tons of mushy gushy, lovey dovey, happy sappy mama moments… enough to make you gasp with emotion, then gag with exasperation. With that said, let’s do a bit of our own maternal monumentalization! But you know how we do… I mean, we Pick Fros and Pop Collars around this joint! So we gotta do it kinky style and acknowledge our natural hair, and our mamas, of course.
So, I started thinking back to that moment when I told my mom that I wanted to go natural. As my mother, I knew she would support me no matter what. But I also knew she would tell me her honest opinion. What I did not know, was that she was going to say something crazy! She said: [click to continue…]
