Nature Republic Argan Essential Deep Care Shampoo, Condition, & Hair Pack

The other day, I was beckoned by Crew Scheduling to report to the airport by 14:05 because they might already have a trip lined up for me. After arriving at the airport and getting what I like to call my life line, coffee, I found out I was going to Incheon, South Korea.

In my mind, I was excited beyond belief. Even though I get the opportunity to go to so many places overseas but Korea has always been a trip that went super senior. So it was practically the Big Foot in terms of trips for us new hires. But then my next thought was that I was going to be freezing to death because I had only packed a light weight jacket. Once I got over the shock, I realized all the shopping that could be done. I couldn't wait!

Though our layover time was around 18-20 hours, there was still a lot that needed to be done. Sleep was one of them, but that most certainly can wait because shopping was definitely more important! And that's when I stumbled across this product ... on purpose!

Nature Republic Argan Essential Deep Care Line is one of their hair care lines that is directed towards replenishing moisture and nutrients back into damaged hair. It is enriched with highly-concentrated organic argan oil that helps restore nutrients back into hair.

This was a product that was recommended to me by my flight attendant friend that was also working the flight. And boy am I glad she did because I have fallen in love. 

The Nature Republic Argan Essential Deep Care Shampoo fully washes your hair without drying out your scalp. I liked massaging it throughout my scalp, so that it not only nourishes my scalp but also the hair follicles. I opted out of using the conditioner and went straight for the Argan Essential Deep Care Hair Pack. This product is similar to a hair mask in that you use it after shampooing your hair. Rather than rinsing it out immediately, you leave the product in your hair for a few minutes to intensify the results. (I naturally have more oil in my face and scalp so when it comes to any type of conditioner or hair masks, I avoid my scalp to prevent even more excess oils from producing.) 

I then lathered the Nature Republic Argan Essential Deep Care Hair Pack on my hair from the ear down to avoid my scalp. I felt the product in my hair, which it gives it time to thoroughly moisture each strand of hair. After rinsing the remaining product, it left my hair feeling soft to the touch without making it feel heavy.

Though I am very satisfy with this line of hair care. However, I'd have to say the outcome that I am most pleased with Nature Republic Argan Essential Deep Care Line is that it moistures and nourish hair without weighing it down. You're hair still has bounce and life unlike other moisturizing products on the market. 

So far I am very happy with this purchase and I can't thank my friend enough of the recommendation.   Not only do I have this new great product in my life that brings my hair back to life but I also can share with you guys! 

Cheers <3

Reminds Me of Home

It's a very rare occasion when it rains in Dallas. However, I say that half heartedly because when it does rain, it is a down pour that causes many of the highways to flood and shuts down half the town.

But I have to say, whenever it does rain, it reminds me of Seattle. The smell of the water hitting the concrete always brings back memories. Not only that, these are the perfect days to stay at home, comfy in your pajamas and binge watch the last series of American Horror Story on Netflix. To top things off, all you'll need is a cup of warm tea to enjoy the night with.

Coffee, Nails, Sunnies, Oh My

Though we claim it's fall, Dallas clearly didn't get the memo because it's still on the warm side. Which is a bummer; I want to bring out the sweaters and retire the tank tops. 

Regardless, today was one of those days where I slept in, all thanks to my jet lag, and started my day late. Meaning that I don't plan on doing anything productive today, rather focus solely on myself. 

Nothing like a little shameless self promoting 😜

One Word: Bedwetter

We've all had our fair share of funny, horrifying, and embarrassing hook-up stories but I must say this one has to take the cake for me... So far.

Ever since I moved to my new apartment in Dallas, I've had the amazing opportunity to meet a lot of new people and subsequently make a lot of new friends. This move has changed my life tremendously and I'm so blessed that I made this decision to do so.

With that said; with new friends come new memories that we make when we hit the town and bar hop from one place to another. Making even more new friends along the way.

This was our typical Friday. We started with brunch at Breadwinners on McKinney, since apparently no one works in this building. After a couple of mimosas, we started to start the weekend early by hanging by the pool; which is where I met a new "neighbor". We'll just call him 'Boston'.

It has to be pretty obvious as to why I've nicknamed him 'Boston' but if you must wonder, he is from Boston and recently moved to Dallas for work; he works in I.T.

I must admit, we hit it off pretty quickly. We joked, talked, and just shot the shit for a few hours before we decided to grab a quick bite to eat.

This is basically how Boston and I met. I don't think I need to seriously have a play by play for the events of the night so long story short, we ended up at my place after a very long night of partying and drinking.

Dun dun dun ..

The next morning, I'm tossing and turning around my bed, not used to sleeping next to someone, we finally get out of bed. As he's putting his clothes back on, I noticed that my sheets are kind of damp. I figured they got wet after we showered when he was laying on my bed. No bid deal; I'll have to wash them anyways.

But now, as I'm laying my bed, I notice a very strange smell. Since my sheets are in the dryer at this point, it couldn't have been the damp sheets. So naturally, I plant my face into my bed and realize that this motherf***** has peed in my bed!

This grown a** man peed in my bed. I understand when you're a child, we have accidents once in a while. But that definitely wasn't the case today. This was a grown man that I stupidly took home after a crazy night of drinking that couldn't hold in his liquor and failed to wake up in the middle of the night to walk two steps to my bathroom to pee. Really?!

I'm not telling you all this to embarrass him. In retrospect, I think this story is kind of funny. This has never happened to me before but I guess we all have to experience everything once in a lifetime. The lesson that I am taking from this experience is to never bring a guy back to my place again; especially if they want to stay the night. I'd much rather be the one that goes to their place. Plus, I'll have the say of when I leave, rather then being the b**** and having to kick the person out.

Hope you enjoyed my most recent embarrassing story.

Good night!

Step Out Of the Handbag

Let us all thank Duchess Kate Middleton for bring Longchamp into our lives. If it wasn't for her first siting carrying the signature Le Pliage tote, it wouldn't have entered our lives in such a furious way!

No offence to the Duchess and all, but I have to say, I'd like to step out of the box when it comes to Longchamp and take a deeper look at their newest line, the Le Pliage Heritage collection.

As I was strutting my Flight Attendant walk down the terminal in Hong Kong, something of beauty caught my attention. She was shining, grabbing the attention of all those passing by, underneath the spot light.

Isn't she darling?!

As you can see, it's very different from their signature tote that everyone knows and loves. But to me, this helps Longchamp enter into a different category of luxury handbags.

The Le Pliage Heritage is a beautiful leather bag that is sturdier than previous handbags before it. It has a top handle as well as a shoulder strap that allows for one to carry it in multiple ways, each showcasing the handbag in a different light. The structure of this handbag pays homage to their signature collection but the fine details in the curvature and hardware gives this bag the elegant it so rightfully deserves. The gold plated Longchamp logo delicately placed on this handbag low-key flaunts the class of Longchamp and all that it represents.

When I saw this beauty while passing through the terminal, it was as though there was no other handbag in sight. All I could see was the bright Cobalt Blue Le Pliage Heritage sitting on display, as if it were saying, "Buy me .. Take me home with you .." music to a girl's ear

Though Longchamp's signature Le Pliage totes will always have a place in my heart. But step aside, there's a new handbag in town!
