Fierce Nails: Nail Rings

Nail rings have been on the scene for a little while now. They are starting to become more of a trend. This unique 3-D design fits over the nail and is thin enough to shape perfectly to fit the client. They can be seen on Beyonce, Fergie, Katy Perry, Rihanna, and many more. The rings are designed by Bijules NYC, a unique and edgy jewelry company. The rings can range anywhere from $18-$160.

Grammy Awards: And the winner is....

Not Chris Brown.

Although many were rooting for him, myself included, unfortunately it just wasn't his year. At least he didn't lose to Rihanna in the rap/song collaboration. It's okay though because he did an excellent job on his Saturday Night Live performance and I'm pretty sure this will be Chris's comeback year.
According to Chris:
“To all the fans!! I love y’all. Don’t be upset!! This industry is based on politics and asskissing! My only concern is team breezy! Fuck everybody else!” (viaTwitter)

Grammy Awards: Did She Really Just Ask That?

In case you missed out, Drake was joined on the red carpet by his mother. There he was interviewed by MTV's own Snooki and Sway. They discussed Valentine's Day and his Grammy nominations. Also I must say I was a little jealous of all the flirting that went on between Snooki and Drake; but she probably ruined any chance she had with him when she asked " Did you and Rihanna smush?"

Drake seemed as if he was lost for words. All I heard him say was " uh uh uh uh... wow!" 

Hair 101: Sew-In facts

I am a huge fan of wearing hair extensions but I'm far from an expert. I hardly even know what hair to purchase or what color matches my hair. Here's a post that will help all the ladies with some frequently asked questions on hair extensions.
1. How long do they last? It’s recommended that you get a new sew in about every 8 weeks and allow your hair to breathe for a few days. Once you feel the braids getting loose, and starting to hang because of the new growth, get a new install!
2. How do you maintain the hair under the sew in? It’s your hair do it just like you would do your hair if it wasn’t under the weave. You should still wash and condition your hair about every two weeks and dry under a hooded or bonnet dryer. Important note: Make sure your hair is dry before getting from under the dryer; don’t feel the weave to determine if your hair is dry. It’s important that your hair is dry first; it may take longer for your hair to dry because it’s braided and under the weave. If your hair isn’t completely dry then it can cause mildew in your hair because the weave is covering your hair and its not getting any air. Also, remember to dry your hair using the medium setting.
3. What kind of hair should I buy? Honestly, if you’re going to go buy the 12.99 pack of yaki hair that you used back in the day for a ponytail, that’s EXACTLY what you’re going to get. Some 13 dollar quality hair, don’t be surprised if it sheds a lot and tangles. Try buying a more expensive type of hair such as Remy hair. This hair is more expensive but it doesn’t shed as much, hardly won’t tangle and its reusable (if you want to reuse it).
4. How tight should your hair be braided? If it hurts, it’s too tight. Just like with regular braids, braiding too tight causes a strain on your hair. If you feel your stylist braiding your hair too tight, SAY SOMETHING! It’s your hair. (Do the “eyebrow check”, if you raise your eyebrows and you feel the braids pulling at your scalp. You need to call your stylist back. The oil sheen really won’t help this time lol)
  • 5. What kind of products can I use on my weave? You don’t want anything too heavy that will weigh your hair down, you can use the same products you use on your regular hair just don’t get happy and start to get heavy handed. A little goes a long way. Since it’s a weave it won’t respond to products the way your normal hair will, so you won’t have to use a lot.

New Beginnings

I'm so excited about this new blog; this is my first blog I've ever made. Enough about that though, let me introduce myself. My name is Kayla. I'm 18 years old; originally from Queens, NY but right now I'm located in Atlanta, Ga or what others may to refer to as "Black Hollywood". I currently attend Kennesaw State University; home of the Owls.
This is a new beginning for me. It's my first year in college and my first year really on my own. My first semester of college I was unsure of what I wanted my major to be, as do most first-year college students. My reasoning for starting this blog is because I am at a point in my life where I really feel like I've figured out which direction I would like my life to go in, who I want to be, and want I would like to accomplish in this lifetime. So buckle up guys because its gonna be a bumpy ride.
Through this blog I will be sharing a variety of topics; from my life, education, fashion, and more. I promise that this blog will be full of wonderful information and you will never be bored. I hope you all enjoy!
