Betsey Johnson Mini Purse

Hi Yall, 

So the other day I was with my son out shopping for my sister in law's birthday gift, and of course I come across this cutsie 'Betsey Johnson Mini Speedy Crossbody Bag'. I mean as any toddler mom knows, you are literally walking around with a  house in a bag. You just never know when kids are going to have an accident, need their "special" toy or have a bout of starvation right after you LEAVE THE HOUSE. I kept saying to myself 'when am I actually going to use this little thing'? 

Aside from traveling with kids , I myself am always walking around with all my personal belongings in my purse!! Making a quick run?? Sureeee, let me just bring my luggage!! Anywho, I ended up buying the purse and it is absolutely adorable.... and functional! LOL When running out the house to take my son to school, or running errands alone (which by the way is very rare), I grab the mini, throw my wallet, keys, phone and go! 

Peace & Love, Kali

Nivea Facial Moisturizer (Ohhh How I Love!!)

Hi All, 

So I was in the market looking for a really good moisturizer and let me tell you I was very VERY close to spending $100 on a high end brand of facial moisturizer. Did I mention it was for a 1 ounce. Then I started doing some comparisons, and behold I came across the Nivea face cream. Now I have heard of the cream for years but never actually tried it. As quickly as I reviewed the brand I ordered it on Amazon. Now let me say the Nivea brand that I currently use is 'Made in Germany', apparently the brand sold in the US stores are 'Made in Mexico'. **I listed the ingredients for both 'Germany' vs. 'Mexico' below for comparison** The texture is completely different; the Germany Nivea has a more thick texture as opposed the 'Mexico" Nivea is more of a creamy substance.  After using this product the next day my face completely rejuvenated. I also use this product on other dry areas like my elbows and feet. It is absolutely an amazing product; I highly recommend it. 

Made in Mexico Nivea ingredients: Water, Mineral Oil, Petrolatum, Glycerine, Microcrystalline Wax, Lanolin Alcohol, Paraffin, Panthenol, Magnesium Sulfate, Decyl Oleate, Octyldodecanol, Aluminum Stearates, Fragrance, Citric Acid, Magnesium Stearate, Methylchloroisothiazoline, Methylisothiazolinone. 

German Nivea ingredients: Aqua, paraffinum liquidum, cera microcristalline, glycerin, lanolin alcohol, paraffin, panthenol, decyl oleate, octyldodecanol, aluminum stearates, citric acid, magnesium sulfate, magnesium stearate, parfum, limonene, geraniol, hydroxycitronellol, linalool, citronellol, benzyl benzoate, cinnamyl alcohol.

Get the Look!!!

Hi Yall, 

So I ripped the tags off my new sweater the other day, and I have to say I think this sweater has become my new fav. Besides the sweater I loved the shoes and pants lol. So I decided to share the look. The pants are grey from brand 'Vince Camuto', the sweater is from brand 'Lucky Brand', the booties are from 'Dolce Vita'. In hindsight I could've really used a chunky necklace, but in all honesty excessive jewelry sometimes bothers me.  

Besides the outfit, I received a lot of compliments on the hair. Which it kind looked more fancy then it was to do lol. In less then 5 minutes I tied it up and was out the door (well not literally, but you know what I mean).

See the steps below to create this look in no time :)  

1. Tie up 3 section of ponytails (Top Section, Middle Section and Bottom Section)                         

2. Tie a knot with the top section of the ponytail and make a mini bun (then pin)                         

3. Repeat the same step for the middle and bottom section of the hair. 

Voila!!!!  Done!! :)

NYX Lip Product Review

So I often get asked what type of lipstick I'm using. When I tell people it's the NYX brand, they seemed surprised. I have to say the NYX soft matte lip gloss and lip stick have absolutely become my favorite and go to lipstick. In the picture above I'm wearing Alabama which is the color I get the most compliments on. These lip products are durable and long lasting! You can go hours without having to retouch. I would recommend this brand to anyone. As a mom on the go, I throw the butter gloss in my bag and I'm out the door. Also, have I mentioned how inexpensive it is?! They go for $5.99 in the average beauty supply store. Can it get any better?! I love a good deal!!
