Brazilian Blowout!

These are the before and after pictures for my Brazilian Blowout! This is probably one of the best investments that I have ever made! With the hair I used to have I would never have been able to blow-dry my hair straight and now after the Brazilian Blowout I can! I can do my hair so fast also! I don't even have to wash my hair everyday because I don't have to put a ton of product in it. I only use the Brazilian Blowout Daily Smoothing Serum along with my David Babaii shampoo and conditioner.

Gahhh!

I absolutely love it and I recommend it to anyone with thick, frizzy, curly, unruly hair! I spent $200 on the Brazilian Blowout alone and $38 for the serum. I definitely think that IT IS worth the cost and I will definitely be doing it again when it wares off in about 12 weeks!

If you even have the slightest inclination to get this done, don't hesitate and just do it!

If you have any questions just leave a comment below :)

Best wishes & Great Hair,

Pretty Little Liars

So when it comes to Pretty Little Liars, I feel like I am 16 again! I am so addicted to this show! I watched every single show religiously. Even if I missed the show when it showed on TV, I would watch it online! I went a little bit crazy when I watched it every week. I really am not a TV-crazy, kind of person, but this show really just made me gasp at the end of every episode and just made me anticipate the next more and more each week!

I don't know what it is about this show but I just can't get enough of it. I feel like this show is directed to more of a younger audience and I almost feel a little immature for watching it as I am almost 20 years old... But oh well, this is my little, guilty pleasure!

Do you enjoy watching this show? What was your favorite or what did you think was the most suspenseful event of the season?

I can't wait for the next season to start! January better not keep me too busy because I know I will be stuck in front of my TV or laptop for a suspenseful 1 hour every week!

My new baby!

Okay so this post has absolutely nothing to do with makeup or weight-loss or anything that I usually blog about.... But it is about my new baby.

My new baby is actually going to be a chihuahua. My fiance bred his family's chihuahua with a family friend's chihuahua. We are so excited because this dog is going to be like our baby as we have decided not to pursue a family for quite a long time. We both have plans to do things that having a real baby would interrupt or make near impossible to do. We both plan to finish college and travel a lot before even thinking of having a baby, and I will be in school for a long time as I plan on attending medical school.

So for now we will be having a chihuahua to fill spot where a child could be... Ha, well at least this baby I can carry in a purse like carrier :)

So this is the mom, she is a lot bigger than the dad with is my fiance's family dog:

And this is the dad, which is my fiance's family dog:

He is a lot smaller than the female dog, but I think they will make beautiful puppies and I can't wait to pick ours out. The puppies should be here at the beginning of September :) We are hoping to get a boy dog and we are going to name him Monte, short for Montezuma, which is the name of the 5th Aztec emperor. We just thought it was a cute name but were not sure if we will spell it Monte or Monty... I will keep you all posted and post picture of our new baby pup when we get him (or her if there are no hims) lol.

Project 365: Day 2 of 365

So for day 2, I decided to find a picture of my hair color because the picture I kept taking was not coming out right. So basically I just like my hair color more when I do it myself. My hair also feels better when I do it myself because I use a demi-permanent color. This time I used 28G-Golden Cappuccino.

Hope you all enjoy! See you tomorrow for day 3!

Project 365: Day 1 of 365

Wow, so I totally decided to commit to Project 365! This is day one of 365! This will be tons of fun, and I hope you can all get to know me better through this! I encourage you all to start this project with me and leave me links to your blog so I can get to know you better also :)

So basically this photo represents my favorite food! I usually just eat this when there are birthday parties and gatherings. Today my fiance and I decided that we would buy the stuff to make it! This is a traditional Mexican dish and in my case this is a traditional, Mexican-American dish. All we did was buy thin steak and we soaked it in a lime based marinade for a few hours. We then grilled it, wrapped it in corn tortillas and enjoyed!

Hope you enjoyed reading this post :)

Project 365?

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to give you a little intro to my new blog project; Project 365!

Project 365 will consist of 1 picture a day for 365 days! Yes, I know, that is a full year! Hopefully I can keep up! Basically each picture will just have to be about me, or my life, or something that interests me! No limits. This is a way to really get creative while also updating my blog. I heard about this on twitter and so far I know of two other YouTube beauty guru's/bloggers: 0MsNaz0 and cutiegingerbread. Here is a link to 0MsNaz0's blog: http://www.beautybynaz.com/ Here is a link to cutiegingerbread's blog: http://www.cutiegingerbread.blogspot.com/ Please check these two ladies out, they are amazing.

I hope you all enjoy and I hope that you do it too!

Update!

Hey everyone,

Sorry I have not updated you all with the bikini bootcamp thing. I can tell you that it ended very well and all of my numbers for sit ups, push ups, squats, lunges, etc all increased and I got a lot stronger. As for weight, I actually gained which really was discouraging but I figured I had probably gained muscle. I felt really good about it and I am going to do the next four week session which starts soon.

As for keeping it up my workout routine and eating right I feel like I have majorly failed. I really have to get myself back on track so I can get healthy. It just seems like when school gets stressful I start eating very unhealthily and I stop working out. Do you have any tips for me?

Also, I think I am going to start the 365 picture thing. Some other beauty gurus are doing it and I thought it would be fun. Anyways, it's basically like you take a picture everyday for one year and upload it to your blog. The picture just has to represent you or your life so it allows you to get creative. 

Love you all,

Mercedes

P.S. Please share any weight-loss tips for me in the comment section :) Thank you
