ALRIGHT so...i just wanted to procrastinate a little bit with that tag lol
anyway so....i had just used a lush shower jelly in my hair for the first time, so i decided i'd discuss it a bit.
i used lush's sweetie pie shower jelly. it's amazing stuff. it smells like berries and is a pretty, it's glittery, and is a pretty dark purple color. the website describes it to have a cherry scent, which i dont smell, idk maybe it's just me but i feel like it smells like fruits.

i love it so much on my skin. it lathers so well! whether you use it alone and rub it straight on your body or if you use a loofah. i always use a loofah even with my bar soaps from lush. i just feel like it lathers a lot better with one and i also have pretty dry skin so i like to use it to smooth out my skin.

but in my however....okay right off the bat in the shower..i only needed like a bit more than a pinch of the jelly. now, i have a lot of hair so for that to be enough was like..whoa. it lathered so so well! it smelt good while washing and i could see the glitter sparkling.

when i got out of the shower-i wasn't expecting the glitter to stay, obviously. but i can still smell it (so it didnt completely wash out in the shower) and i also knew my hair was going to be tangled. i didn't use a conditioner bc i wanted to see how it was in my hair on its own, i didnt even put in my daily leave in conditioner from garnier, for the sake of experimentation. it's been an hour and a half since i got out of the shower and my hair is STILL wet. usually by this time it's damp, but it's still pretty wet! which is annoying that it's taking so long to dry. BUT from the feel of what is dry..it feels soft. but it rly wasn't manageable when i got out of the shower. i usually comp my hair with a wide toothed comb when i get out of the shower. so i dont like that. but we'll see how it goes for the rest of the day....

8 things tag & ramblings

okay so i'm dique writing a paper right now with this blog entry haha...
just wanted to get a few things off my mind...

vegas was awesome! it was such a good spring break. ive been in college for almost 3 years now and ive never had that typical spring break you see people on tv have...but i finally got to experience my college spring break with the pool, sun, drinks, partying, clubbing, good friends...it was so much fun, but now it's back to my reality of a nursing student-hard ass work! lots of studying, lots of reading...basically a lot of stress...all until may! i just need to get thru the next 2 months and im golden. after this semester i can move on..hopefully (praying i dont fail)!!! anyway that break was a really good way to restart my brain cuz now im all partied out, got that out of my system and now i can focus on the work i need to complete.
