Epic Fail----Sorry ShoeDazzle not this month. But GREAT recovery.

The boot that I picked out for December came today. Can you say not what I expected. The boot would be cute if it didnt look so plastic-y. I did call to ask about their exchange policy. I LOVE great customer service. I cant remember the gentleman's name but he was GREAT! Free return shipping...Thumbs up!!!! All I have to do now is pick what shoe I want to exchange it for. I think I may have to REALLY read the description bar this time. Shoe Dazzle, you still get my vote!

Now on to the hard part. Trying to find an alternative. These are what I like from my selection but I did request alternative options. I will keep you posted. Which one do you like? I like the shoe better. The bootie is ok. I am going to wait because I want to be in love with the shoe.

Running on E....



"I finally noticed it, it finally hit me
Like Tina did Ike in the limo, it finally hit me"

I need more sleep. I am probably getting sick and drained because I havent had a full night of sleep in a weeks. I am running on 4 to 5 hours of sleep a night and I think that my body has finally decided to protest. Im so addicted to coffee that it is a soother to get me to sleep. That is probably another reason why I am at a stand still with my weight. My body is craving more down time and I am avoiding it like a lame dude trying to get a date with me. 

I am fully aware that a person needs to get at least 8 hours of sleep a night. I am shorting myself 4 hours of sleep.

I am even allowing my school work to slip. I am tired. I'm drained. I need a break. I need some damn sleep. 

So I'm done complaining now. I know what I have to do. I need to manage my time better. I NEED sleep. I realize that without my sleep I feel like I am running backwards with blinders on. 

Also, I am going to bring my Thursday "Me" days! Time for me to do something. Time for me to take action. This is going to be a LONG year (deployment) if I dont get myself together. I started this deployment off well but I am just slipping away. Time for me to do something.....

Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture SPF 35 -Review

Along with my new soap, I went out to find a new moisturizer. I have found a new love; Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture SPF 35. This product is WONDERFUL!! I have been using this product for a month.

It is orderless. Since it is oil-free, it leaves my face soft without the extra oiliness. 

Olive Oil Soap Review


When I turned 30, my acne resurfaced. It got even worse when I moved to Texas. I hunted and searched for a new facial routine and I just say that I LOVE this soap. I purchased it from Walmart and I believe it costno more than 2 bucks (sorry, I cant remember). You can find it at Sally's  for 3.49. 

I do cut the soap in half because it is a large piece of soap. So for 3.50, I get two pieces of soap. Better yet, go to Walmart. This item is now in my regular routine. I have not had a major breakout since I started using it. I think I had one or two bumps but thats about it. I started using this product just about a month now.  When I moved to Texas, I was covered like a teenage with pimples. 

It smells very pleasant. It also has soft beads in it to exfoliate. Safe enough to use everyday for sensitive skin. I normally cant exfoliate daily. This soap has been friendly to my skin. If you have any other questions that I didn't answer, please feel free to email me or comment below. I will happily answer as soon as I can. Yes, I'm back and active on my blog so I will be available for you!

My December Pick of the Month-Shoedazzle

Knee-high flat boots in faux leather combine out-of-this-world style and versatility. 

Leggings in winter call for a tall boot like Natiri to provide extra coverage. Although she’s not heeled, Natiri still feels sexy with her supple faux leather and zipper running up one side, and skinny vertical stripe up the other. Add a long cardigan or tunic over your leggings and belt it for flattering waist definition.
