Chi Brand Straighteners


I have naturally curly hair and have loved the straight hair look.  Over the years, I have tried many different products and straighteners. I had a hard time getting the look that I wanted till I tried the Chi Brand Straighteners about 7 years ago. Since then I have fallen in love with the Chi Straighteners and refuse to buy any other brand.

One of the best things about these products is that they give enough heat to get my curly hair perfectly straight. Other straighteners I have tried in the past would kind of straighten my hair but leave lots of frizz. Chi Straighteners get my hair perfectly straight and with hardly any frizz. Another thing I like about the products is that they are very durable. I have dropped mine a millions times and nothing has happened to it! One major benefit from Chi products is their long life time. I have had my current straightener for 3 years now and it still works perfectly. This helps make up for the $150 price tag because I have gotten my use out of it and therefore my money’s worth! They also make their products in cute colors which makes them a lot of fun. Mine has pink dots on it and it is adorable!

The only thing that I wish Chi would add to their straighteners is an automatic turn off button after a certain amount of time with no use. There have been times when I have accidentally left my straightener on. It would be great if they added something like this so that I wouldn’t have to worry. (They may already have this on some of their products. I’m not sure)

Overall, I would recommend a Chi Brand straightener to everyone I know. Over the years, I have influenced my younger sister and mother to use this brand and they have seen all of the same benefits that I have. Chi Straighteners are the only straighteners that I will purchase from now on! :)

My Favorite Eyeliner: Lorac Pro

So lately I have had a lot of compliments on my liquid eyeliner. So I thought that I would do a product review of Lorac Pro Cream Eyeliner.

Brand: Lorac Pro
Product: Cream Eyeliner
Price: $19.00
Store: Ulta


Pros: 
What I love about this product is that it blends on my eye very easily. It is also easy to apply which  makes it easy to get a perfect line all the time. It doesn't run like any of my other eyeliners have and it last a super long time. Another benefit is that it is easy to remove so for if some reason you mess up, it is fast and easy to fix. I also love the way that the product is packaged. The eyeliner itself is located at the bottom and the brush is at the top. The small brush makes the eyeliner super easy to use!

Cons:
The only con that I have is that it does cost $19 from Ulta, but it has lasted me about 4 months and I am not even close to finishing the product.


Overall, I love this liquid eyeliner! I would definitely recommend this product to all of my friends.

Kittens!

Recently, I adopted two kittens named Asher and Finn and I thought that they needed to show up on my blog because they are two of my favorite things.



They are domestic short hair kittens who are 9 months old.Since they are still young, they are super active and lots of fun. This is my first experience with kittens and it has been a learning process. They are very curious and get into everything, but it is really cute to see them learn new things. I have found that by holding them a lot when I first got them, it has made them very social and apt to being held. It is really cool to see them each develop their own personalities. Finn is a shy kitten who loves to learn about new things. His favorite thing is to look out the window, especially when it snows. Then there is Asher who is the rambunctious one who just loves to play and voice his opinion.  These babies are so cute and I can't wait to see them grow up!

The Hunger Games

So I know the whole Hunger Game craze happened a while ago, and I will admit that I caught on very late. But I finished reading the whole series in December and ever sense I have been obsessed. I am not going to spoil the book for those who haven't read it, but I am just going to make some comments on my favorite thing about the trilogy. 

For those who do know about the books,  Suzanne Collins writes as Katniss Everdeen who lives in a futuristic North America called Panem. There The Capitol controls everything that happens in the districts and each year broadcasts a game called The Hunger Games, where one male and female ages 12-18 are chosen in a lottery to fight and kill districts from the other districts till one is left. 

I usually don't like futuristic type books, but I loved this one..... probably because there was a love story tied in and that was one of my favorite parts. The love triangle made me want to read more to find out what was going to happen and who Katniss was going to choose. I also loved that Katniss is a strong woman and thinks for herself. The books are well written and give lots of detail so that you can picture what is going on while reading. The plot to the story is great and lets the reader easily go through the books. ( I read all three in a week!! )

If you haven't read the book yet..... READ IT!! It is a great series and you will be hooked!
