Crazy Curls

I have seen so many girls on Youtube talk about how they talk about curly hair. And I thought I had to. Here is how I manage my curly gingaah hair that people like to touch (I hate it when people are like "OHMYGAH I LOVE YOUR HAIR. CAN I PET IT? AND TAKE IT HOME?")

All of these products are Garnier Fructis!

1. Shampoo!
Ok I know like everyone on YT is like NO! BAD SHAMPOO! But I'm sorry, I like making shampoo mahwaks. I feel like shampooing is like cleansing. Like you don't put makeup on a dirty face, you wash and cleanse it first! Same for shampoo. Not only that but my hair SQUEKS. Yeah, legit squeky clean. Its awesome.



2. Condition!
Please do not condition at your roots! Because not only will it help make your natural roots show (all ya dyed hair girls!) but it weighs your hair down! I like to apply my conditioner from the top of my ear (or middle, if its longer) down.



3. Towel dry!
I like to scrunch my hair dry with a towel not rub it. Rubbing it will cause frizz! So scrunch that whataah (that was me typing water with my NY accent haha) out!

4. Leave in Conditioner!
Curly hair loves to be moist like a damn plant. Leave in conditiners can also help frizz! Yay!


5. Mousse!
Mousse is great for the warmer weather! Gel melts and gets gross and dries your hair because of the amount of alcohol most drugstore gels contain!


6. Spray it!
Right before I leave in the morning I like to spray it! This hair spray is amazing. It does not leave my hair stiff at all! Its soft and flexible and why isn't Garnier paying me to say this?!


Also I don't blow dry my hair! But if you must, use a diffuser to help enhance your curls!




Ignore the fact I'm wearing barely any makeup and I'm tired and look like crap! The pic is for my hair! By the way, the Dark Knight poster is my roommate's...my bed faces it, its creepy to wake up to!

My Caps Lock Key is Getting a Work Out!

Hello my lovely subscribers/readers!

So today I decided to go to the bookstore and sell some books back (all of them except the few I need to study from). Ohmahgosh.

Brace yourself.

This year I probably spent an effing grand on damn books! BOOKS! So I want to get my money back for these little effers. So I tried to last semester and they were all "Oh I'm sorry we can't take these books because those classes aren't being offered next semester!"

SO? ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME THAT NEVER AGAIN IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD THAT YOU WILL NEVER EVER SELL THESE BRAND NEW EDITION BOOKS?!

So fast-forward to today. I want money for makeup and Coldstone (what smarty pants for putting one in a college town along with 4 bars). Oh, and groceries. (Haha in that order..jk?)

I'm all "I'm gonna sell my books again!" So I bring back 3 books from last semester because maybe the dbags will accept them now and one from this semester I never used.

So 4 books. She scans the first one and tells me its worth nothing.

A MOTHA EFFING $90 BOOK MAGICALLY IS WORTH NOTHING AFTER A SEMESTER.

Then she tells me I can get something for one book. $35 for a book that was bought for a $100 more. Then...this is where I got pissed.

Mind you, all of these books are special editions for my school. My professors like I don't know, graced their damn precense on it and made them worth more and earn the title of being a special effing edition for my special effing college.

So then the girl was like "We only accept these books when they're in the packaging".

OH. MY. DAMN. BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE MOTHAFETCHING PSYCHIC ABILITIES TO TOUCH A BOOK AND MAGICALLY READ IT WITH MY FETCHING MAGICAL POWERS WITHOUT OPENING THE DAMN THING, I CAN'T GET CRAP FOR THESE BOOKS? GODFORBID I EFFING READ MY DAMN TEXT BOOK WHILE THE FETCHING GUY WITH A 0.9 GPA (there are some, they're athletes) CAN SELL IT BACK AND GET SOMETHING FOR IT BECAUSE HE WAS PROBABLY TOO STUPID TO TAKE OFF THE DAMN PLASTIC PACKAGING.

BOTH COST LKE $150. AND I EFFING GET NOTHING CAUSE I EFFING TOOK THE DAMN EFFING BOOK OUT OF THE EFFING PACKAGING.

OH AND THEN THE LAST BOOK WHICH MY PROFESSOR WROTE AND HAS NO VALUE ELSEWHERE IS WORTH $0.

For Sale
1. Criminal Justice book missing a few chapters cause my professor didn't like them- $20
2. Math for idiots that only need to take basic math to get it over with-$20
3. An English book full of stories my lit professor liked-$10

Buy 2 for $30 and they love you long time. Also can pay in Mac.

♥ Chelsea

Lemme go get a mothaeffing book that teaches me to be an effing psychic and read books without opening them. I'll probably have to open the effing thing and make it worthless.

I'm going to do a quick post because I'm gonna be busy these next few days doing makeup work and a big term paper!

Anyways, I'm doing better (woah, at this time a week ago I was so knocked out and being operated on!) still pretty sore. I have some lovely scars. I'm using the whole "I just got my appendix out!" excuse as much as possible, who wouldn't? I actually went back to school on Monday but that wore me out fast! I skipped my speech on Tuesday, my professor actually didn't care since I had an excuse, and today was my day off!

Oh my damn. I'm sooo sore. My surgeon removed my bandaids today and left my wounds all exposed. Uhm, hello? I legit have a fear all my organs are doing to fall out, the cut is not that big but still. Ew. Ew. Ew. I kinda miss being pushed around in a wheelchair by some pretty hot guys. This one guy who had sleeves...oh my goodness. I wish I wasn't in so much pain and then knocked out so I could remember how hot he was.

Anyways! I wanna do some pics. I'm gonna post one of my biggest scar. SO YOU ARE WARNED!!



By the way thats my belly button, I sent this to my friend and she was all "OH SHIT. IS THAT THE HOLE THEY HAD TO MAKE?!" Its not tooo bad! LOOK CUTENESS AHEAD TO DISTRACT YOU! Hahah.



On the left is a bear my friend brought me. And on the right, well right after I got back from the hospital and my mom arrived she brought me straight to Build A Bear! How cute! I thought it was an awesome idea. Even if I was a drugged up mess and had to jump around and kiss the bear's heart before putting it inside!



Hahaha I put a matching Hello Kitty bandaid on my bear, where an appendix would be!



And then I got a bunch of goodies from my sister from perpetualkid.com! Bahaha I legit laughed out loud when I got it. I now have the fairy bandages on me because they are made with real fairy wings for extra healing power...or so they claim! I also got Jesus chapstick, Unicorn gum (bahaha which says I'll poop sunshine just like unicorns!) and pens. The pens say things like "Stuffed with Love Taxidermy!! Ask about our goldfish discount!" and "Shecky the Clown! Great for Bar Mitzvags, Weddings and Interventions!" Hahaha! Thanks Sam!

Thats all for now!

Poke Her, I barely know her!

Yeah I know I haven't blogged in a while..BUT I HAVE A LEGIT EXCUSE.

So this past weekend I babysat my cute cousins (didn't get paid yet...) and they were sick. I got sick. On Tuesday night I spent most of the night in the dorm bathroom. Wednesday morning I woke up and my lower right abdomen was hurting. I was all "Wtf, Mate" and WebMDed that shit.

My appendix was what was hurting. So I was like hot damn! And I called my Dad (because my mommy lives far from my college) and went to the ER (because my mom, a nurse, suggested I go). And of course it was my Dad's birthday...YEAH, I HEARD IT.

So I got at the ER at 1 and they were all YO lets IV you! I hate IVs. Hate, hate, hate. Then they were all "lets rule out that its not your appendix!" and made me drink white liquidy/soildy shit for a CT scan. So I watched the Archbishop or whatev get inducted into the NYC Hall of Catholic Fame or whatever. And by 5 I got a CT scan.

Blah blah blah later that night my doc came in and was like "Damyum girl, its your appendix!" And then they were all "we gotta get that bad boy outta you!"

I was all HOT DAMN. I didn't think it was that bad. But like around 10 that night I got my appendix out.

I slept for like an hour that night, and then kept waking up cause nurses kept coming in and I'm so tired.

Ok, so yeah I effing hurt. I'll spare the rest of the details but I have 3 scars and my stomach is full of air from the surgery. I'm like a beachball.

I'm so tired and whenever I move I silently scream a number from 1-10. Right, and I mean RIGHT after the surgery they asked me about my pain, 1 being nothing and 10 being horrible. I was 10 for a while right after the surgery.

But now I'm homeish and my mommy is here! Time to rest and try to relax without hurting!

EVOhOh!

So I came back from class and had to walk past the mirror in my room and looked at my eye makeup when I saw...A RED DOT?!

It looked as though someone took a red lip-liner and like made a huge dot on my eye lid crease. IT WAS EFFIN BLOOD. Who has ever heard of that?! So weird!

Anyways, its 1130 at night and I'm doing laundry and eating dinner. Dinner (and Lunch!!) is composed of Easter candy, Pop Tart and G2.

But to my original meaning for my blog. I, being the broke college student I am, found a cheap makeup remover. And you probably have it in your kitchen.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO).

Courtney (CourtCosmetics, she is my fav YT Guru her channel is HERE) told me she cleans her brushes with EVOO and I heard of a few others doing the same thing AND using it to remove their eye makeup!

Lemme say this, THAT SHAT MELTS OFF! It did an amazing job removing even waterproof products!! I'm really liking it! I hate spending like $5-$10 on "real" makeup removers but honestly, EVOO is better! Just make sure you rinse it off and you'll be good! I am really impressed.

Why am I drinking G2 (low cal Gatorade)? It reminds of the gym, and being active. And playing soccer. God, I need to go to the gym but I'm so busy. I mean come on! Its what time and I'm just having lunch and dinner!?

Ok thats all I'll ramble, just wanted to do a quick post! I'll try to do more this week!

Telescopic v Lash Stilleto

How is it that before I started college I used to always go to bed at 11 and since I started I don't go to bed until 1 or 2 in the morning?! Oh boyy. Be forwarned.

I know like no one, besides my sister, reads this for personal blogs. So I'll do one quickie. I got the highest grade (I think) on my Criminal Justice test...it was beyond hard. And I got an 86. Ohh yess. Haha I'm listening to Snakes on a Plane by like a 1000 artists. Its awesome. Oh I'm ready for it, C'MON BRING IT! Ok time to talk beauty? They just said whore parade. Ok..

So I thought I'd do a comparison between the L'Oreal Telescopic and Maybelline Lash Stilleto. As I noted a post or two ago...L'Oreal owns Maybelline and I wanted to see how simialr their best selling lengthening produts (Canada?! 10 points if you get that! Think e-mail) are.

I even took a picture! Sorry my eyelids look like a greasy hotmess, its my flash. I got bored writing my paper!



Telescopic:
Pros:
* Thickens a wee bit
* The brush is super flexible and I can wiggle in between my lashes
* One coat seemed to do the job
* Looks more natural

Con:
* The brush is super flexible and bends easily going into the package

Lash Stilleto
Pros:
* Spreads my lashes apart
* Lengthened just as well as Telescopic

Cons:
* IT SMELLS LIKE A SKUNK AND A SHARPIE. Not something I wanna smell in the morning!
* There is barely any product on the wand! Need multiple coats!

My verdict? I'm going back to Telescopic. Boy, am I glad I got LS for free in a BOGO! They are equal with lengthening but LS SMELLS!!
