Dazzle Me

Hey Guys!! Last week my Shoedazzle shoes came so i figured i share the shoe of the month :) I really love this subscription service and having the ability to opt out within the first five days of the month, just in case new shoes arent in the budget is such a wonderful thing!

I got the Moria Boots this month and oh man do i love them. They stop just below the knee and arent as 'hookerish' as my friend made them out to be haha!

Sign up for shoedazzle here!!


I also bought some e.l.f nail polish from target. The colors are really great for the holiday and the fact that you get 5 polishes def made it a winner.

Smile

A friend sent this to me last week and I thought they were so bright and cheery that I wanted to share with you guys!

When i got this i think i was more excited seeing that the flowers were in a usable mug that had a smiley face on it!! lol (I love coffee!!) but anyway these were unexpected but really appreciated!

If you want to be happy, be. :)
I wish i could send you all flowers but i hope these make your day just as bright!

I might need help! :-/

Hey guys!!!! Im pretty sure that Im not the only who has an unhealthy addiction to things other than drugs and alcohol lol so ill share mine with you :)




Whats your addiction??

Knotted!!!

Hey guys i havent written a post about my hair and embracing my natural curls in a while! So the long wait is now over and its crazy becuase hair is the one thing that I can talk about all day with no problem haha!

These past few weeks my hair has been staright partly because the weather was really nice and during my trip to San Fran I didnt want to have to worry about always doing something with my curly hair.  Rocked my wash and go Monday and Tuesday and by Wednesday I wanted to change up my hair style.

Bantu Knots came to mind and I had never tried it before so I figured why not? I put about 20 two strand twists in my dry hair and dampened my hair after i finished with the twists. It took about 10mins to knot the twists and then I was ready for bed :)
(Tip: Try not to try something new with your hair in the middle of the week because your not sure how it will turn out lol it culd be horrible; but its always good to take a risk sometimes)

Luckily the outcome of my hair turned out great!! :) Really love how it looks!!

Hugs and Love

trip fit

Hey guys, happy Monday!! So im going out of town in less than 48hours and i have def been struggling with what I should wear.  I def dont want to over pack or under pack for that matter and  really dont want to go out and buy a whole bunch of new clothes, even thogh that would be a great excuse to go shopping, but Im going to stick with what I already have in my closet!

The set below are clothes similar to what I already own and I think that this outfit would be great to wear!! Blue chiffon top, dark blue jeans nude pumps and a red quilted bag.

Youtube??

Im debating on whether or not i want to create a youtube channel and have videos on things like monthly hauls, hair products, and other random things occuring in my life. Or maybe even make it a vlog channel.  If you guys would watch my videos or think it would be a good idea let me know!!

Maybe i should do one video as a kind of trial thing to see how my feedback is and go from there!!!

Anyways......talk to you guys in my next post :)

Hugs and Love,

Kenzie's Tip: Lets make these lashes grow!

Long luxurious and luminous lashes is what every girl wants, and the occasional guy (wink, wink), so how do we make this happen? Mascara and falsies are always the go to solution and for some its the expensive lash medication that is advertised on tv.  Searcing for this solution, I came across alot of different suggestions for naturally growing your eyelashes. Some people said cut your lashes and they would grown back fuller, others said that to prevent your lashes from breaking dont curl them after you put mascara on. So many answers but the one I decided to try was putting vaseline on them!

I honestly feel like new lashes grew and they look alot fuller!! Not sure about the length but its been about a week and a half and I put vaseline on my lids every night. Maybe the fact that they are moisturized more gives my lashes the ability to grow. 

Anywho, try it out, not a guranteed way to get your eyelashes to grow or become fuller but everyone is different and it never hurt to try :)

He had a dream

If you live in the Washington, DC area this is something you should definitely visit!! Ive been there during the day but it goin at night is a totally different experience.  Its quieter and you get a chance to take it all in with little distractions from alot of tourists.  The first time I went (during the day) I  met a man along the walk to the memorial that was from Sweden. He was in his 70's so we walked slow and talked about alot, from his degrees to his flight over here and his wife back in Sweden. When we finally made it to the memorial he said to me "I believe that Dr. King would be really happy that we walked here together!" It's amazing how one man can touch someones life all the way on the other side of the world :)

Distressed...

Michael Kors new Fall 2011 handbag collection has me falling head over heels in love.  I'd like to think that I have a healthy obsession with handbags, but who am I kidding? I'm your typical girl and there is nothing healthy about my relationships/feelings about bags, but the first step is admitting it!

I dnt kno if its the fact that they look like they've been through so much, or the small details but i love this line that he has! I was never really into anything that Michael Kors put out, other than the jewlery, because I didnt like the bags that had MK all over them, but these Hamilton bags are a horse of a different color!

These bags are apart of the Hamilton line in Mocha Distressed leather. The bag comes in other colors and can be found on Michael Kors website

Hugs and ℒℴѵℯ,

Kenzie's Tips: Just add lemon

Hello everyone!!! Just wanted to share something that I've been doing for a while thats really simple but yet it doesnt seem like alot of ppl do it.

Watching the news one day a few years back I saw that drinking water with lemon in it help clear your skin and make it brighter due the fact that the vitamin c helps reduce wrinkles and blemishes. It also helps maintain clear skin! I never really had a acne problem but I was def willing to try this to see if it helped keep my skin clear and make it brighter.  I honestly think that drinking this regularly helped keep my skin clear and its soemthing that I will probably continue doin daily.

Other benifits from drinking lemon water are:

boosts your immune system

balances your body's pH

helps with digestion

helps relieve respiratory problems

it also is good source of potassium :)

Drinking water is already good for your body, but just by adding lemon can do so much more!! Hope this was helpful and that some of you guys if you dnt already try this out and let me know how it works for you!! :)

Hugs and ℒℴѵℯ,

Kenzie

Damn you Irene!

So as you all know the east coast has been hit with not one but TWO natural disaters in the previous weeks and the personal impact has been crazy!

The earthquake that shook the east coast up to Canada was insane and also something that I was clueless about and Im not quite sure why I didnt feel it *shrugs*  All of the panic and ppl trying to get out of the city was overwhelming and a nightmare for me getting back home! DC is a horrible place to be and live when something dramatic happens.

A few days later hurricane Irene showed her face and man oh man was it ugly! Attempting to sleep while the wind and rain are literally banging at the window is almost impossible.  One thing i always believe is that animals have an instinct when something bad is going to happen and i think my dog helped predict what was to come next.  Around 10pm before the storm became really serious, my power went out so I went to sleep, with hopes that i culd just sleep through the hurricane and wake up the next morning like nothing happened. I woke up around 1145pm because my dog kept crying to get out of my room. The power was still out so i decieded to follow him and see where he was going. We sat in the basement in the dark until about 1220am and the power came back on. We went back upstairs and i watched the news to see what the progress of the hurricane was. Not even 10mins of the power being back on it went back out and the unthinkable occurred.

A tree fell on my house!!! Thank God the damage wasnt as bad as it looks and no one was hurt, but I really think that my dog knew that that was goin to happen thats why he went in the basement...is that weird??

Anyways i hope none of you or your loved ones were hurtduring the storm!

Hugs and Love

Quality sibling time :)

For the greater good!

I have always been a huge supporter of anything you buy in stores and the company donates or helps someone or something else in need!

I bought a Swarovski ring back in October and some of the

money was donated to help aid breast cancer research. The fact that Toms shoes gives a pair of shoes to a child in need when you buy a pair of shoes is awesome and persuaded me to buy a pair. I have a HUGE heart for helping others and will always try to help someone or something that needs it.  I especially have a soft spot for ALL animals and I hate when those ASPCA commercials come on because I cant save all the sad and abused animals.

But on a lighter note!! lol I came across something on the internet that stated that for the entire month of August Neutrogena Wave for Change will donate $1 to Global Giving for every cosmetic, acne and/or cleansing product Neutrogena sells and is registered on their website, all you have to do is buy the product and enter in the UPC code!

I just felt like sharing this with the blogger world. I always believe that you should share your blessings with others no matter how it is done, something small can make such a BIG difference!!

Hugs and LOVE :)

Summer Bucket list!

Back in June I wrote a blog post entitled Summa Summa Summa Time  that included a list of things that i wanted to do before the summer was over!

Its a decent size list and Im glad to say that ive done alot of them!!! Ive been going non stop since June kinda tired, haha but its all worth it! Taking advantage of life and every blessing that comes my way is an amazing feeling. :) The first quote that i ever put on my blog thats located under my header pic says "The things we do when we're young is what defines us when we're old." You only live once and taking full advantage of life is neccessary. I dont want to get old and look back at my 20's and feel that i dnt have anything to show for it or not have any sort of experience.  When I was younger adults use to always tell me to wait until im older to do things...but why wait? If the opportunity holds out its hand, im def gonna grab on (of course with a lil bit of thought going into it)

The pics im sharing in this post are from my trip to Miami with my bff and another friend! The drinks, the beach, the weather, the parties ohh did i mention the DRINKS! lol it was soooo much fun! i def need to make a another trip back!

Oh the palm trees!

 The day after we got there it was raining :( but we still walked the beach

 the bff and I, friends for 20 years!! yikes (kenny-left, me-right)

                                   Domo she is sooo hilarious!! <3                                               

Me Tanning! but with plenty of sun block dnt need leather skin lol

We left the club one nite and went straight to the beach! didnt leave the beach until 8am :)

I hope you guys are having a wonderful summer and its not too late to start!! we still have august :)

Hugs and Summer Love!
