Update later today, promise

I promise later today I'll have a big update for you. I forgot my camera cord, so my review of the count chocula bar will have to wait (It's one of the things I was reviewing for 31 days of blogging), but I can give you a review of candy corn cotton candy, and a Thai restaurant I went to last night with Aiden and a large group of couples. It was fun, and it'll be a monthly thing, so I can review a different restaurant each month for you guys. It will be so much fun!

I've been sick lately, which is half the reason for nothing new, but i'm feeling a bit better. I'm just foggy-headed today. Maybe after I have this caffeine, I'll be fine. (Here's hoping!)

anyway, that's all for now. I have to get prepped up for class.

V05 Conditioner& Shampoo Review


Bwahahahahahhahahha!!! Time for another review! I’m writing as I go, which is probably not a good idea, ‘cuz I’ll be wet pretty soon…lol.
Anysnooch, I’m reviewing two v05 products, the herbal escapes kiwi  lime squeeze clarifying shampoo, and herbal escapes free me feezia moisturizing conditioner, after the use of which, I’ll be continuing with my hair regimen. Just a note that I have used vo5 products before, but I normally use the strawberries and cream one. I just can’t seem to find it anymore. It was my FAVORIIIIIITEEEE!!!!!!! Oh well, I decided to give these a try instead. (I know, I didn’t get the matches, but whatever.)








The kiwi one looks really green, pretty unnatural, but I like it. The smel is nothing spectacular. I don’t really think of kiwis when I smell it. It’s not striking me as particularly lime-y either, but oh well. It feels cool, like a gel, but better. I haven’t put it in my hair yet.











Here are the ingredients for the kiwi shampoo: 

Water (Aqua), Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Chloride, Ammonium Chloride, Fragrance (Parfum), Cocamidopropyl Betaine, DMDM Hydantoin, Polyquarternium-7, Benzyl Salicylate, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Disodium EDTA, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Butylphenyl Methylpropional Linalool, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, Benzyl Benzoate, Glycerin, Citric Acid, Yellow 10 (CL 47005), Blue 1 (CL 42090), Polysorbate 20, Propylene Glycol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Extract, Panthenol, Cymbopogon, Schoenanthus Extract, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Peel Extract, Ascorbic Acid, Actinidia Chinensis (Kiwi), Fruit Extract, Niacinamide, Biotin. (from CVS website)


The freesia one smells absolutely deeeelicious!!! I love what they’ve done with this. It has a very slight purple tint, which I think is cute. It feels like a lotion, which I really like about it. So, now I’m going to put them in my hair and see the results.

Ingredients for the Freezia conditioner: Water (Aqua), Cetyl Alcohol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Stearalkonium Chloride, Stearyl Alcohol, Steareth- 21, Glyceryl Stearate, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Glycerin, Jasminum Officinale (Jasmine) Extract, Freesia Refracta Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Tocopheryl Acetate, Biotin, Niacinamide, Polysorbate 20, Ascorbic Acid, Panthenol, Propylene Glycol, Benzophenone 4, Disodium EDTA, DMDM Hydantoin, Fragrance (Parfum), Ext. Violet (CI 60730). (also from CVS website) 

Both are about 15 oz. 

Oh, but before I do that, I’ve never used a clarifying shampoo before (I know, bad bad me. I just didn’t know any better – we all start somewhere, and I usually just cowash, anywayz. - ) So, here we go, for reallyz do. (I’m definitely not hood enough for hat…I apologize…but I’m probably going to keep doing it anyway.)
Well, that was refreshing. I just got done with the clarifying shampoo, and my hair feels…clean? I guess.. not sure how different it’s supposed to feel from a normal shampooing. Well, I don’t hate the results, so…that’s good. On to the conditioner.

Well, I gave myself a small scare, I thought it was burning my scalp, but I just scratched too hard sometime during the day. Ooh, my hair feels soft! So, no ill-effects from the products. 

Well, on to my usual hair-washy-regimen.
I’ve put my coconut oil in as a hot oil treatment, and since I’ve re-heated it with the blow dryer, I’ve wrapped a scarf around it, so now all I have to do is wait until I feel like it’s time to wash this stuff off. Usually, I’ll use my garnier strengthening conditioner, but I use that one so often that I should probably take a break and stick with this vo5 one. I’ve got scott pilgrim on, so I may wash it out after the next couple of fights. I love the kitty fight, “back off hasbian!” hah!
Oh, and after that, I know I shouldn’t use two kinds of heat, ‘cuz that’s a big hair no-no, but I do. Except today. I blow dryed, and then did braids. I hope it turns out ok tomorrow, but with the way I sleep…probably not. Lol.

My hair lasted all night in the braids (I cheated and used barrettes though, so idk if it really counts...) but I didn't like how a braid-out looked on me, so I ended up straightening my hair and putting it in pigtails. I didn't use much heat, and since my hair was essentially in four sections, I just went over each section twice. I'm not sure I'd even really count that. I probably should, but won't. 

I use a purple Remington flat iron from target that's apparently been switched out for a digital model (basically the same thing but with a digital temp counter instead of the clock one. I got mine on sale for 12 bucks, the one they're selling now is like, 19. Not much of a difference, and I'm sure it'll do the same thing, if you really want it to. 


kk, that's all for my review, I'm going to review something tasty tomorrow! hehe!

Uuuwaaaaa!!!!! Versatile Blogger Awards ^____^


Hi, everyone. Just wanted to let you all know that I just got nominated for the Versatile Blogger award. I read about Momo getting it just hours ago, and I didn't know awards existed for blogs prior, but I got nominated by Jaz. Thanks for nominating me, really! ^__^ It made my day. 




so, now, I get to tell you all 7 things about myself. 
7) I am literally addicted to kimchi. I don't know why, but I will put that Sh** on EVERYTHING...well...everything I think it'd taste good on, lol. 
6) I'm actually pretty shy in real life, but people confuse me for being perma-angry. 
5) Kpop got me into being more feminine, and in turn, I found Ulzzang through them, which is a thing I like a lot. hehe. 
4) I love cute things so much, but few people know that about me. (I just bought a HONKIN' Hello Kitty mug the other day and can't wait to use it. ^____^
3) I'm a big 'ol goofball, especially when I'm bored. (can't help it, I just never grew up, lol!) 
2) I'm only somewhat of a techie, and while I'm apprenticing at this bike shop, I keep getting flashbacks of when I used to fix computers when I was a kid. (Nerdy childhood, first watching star trek at night, next fixing computers, lol) 
1) I drink ALL OF THE TEA, except jasmine...terrible experiences with that stuff. 


So, here I get to nominate others.

Sorry sorry sorry sorry

Naega naega naega naega monjeo ...oh, we're not doing suju's dance? poop.

Anyway, cereal apologies for not having posted for a bit, I know I'm supposed to be doing this 31 days of posting thing, but I've been terribly stressed out for the last few days, and I still kind of am. Also, despite having bought a couple of things, they are a conditioner and shampoo, so I can't review them now, since I've not tried them. (I only bought them yesterday.)

However, tonight is hair night, and I'll let you know what happens, one is a clarifying shampoo, and the other I believe is a moisture conditioner.

We had a funny stovetop experience, but nothing notable since I've only been home for two hours! I promise to try my cherry fundip tomorrow, but i probably can't get pics up til Tuesday... I'll try tho. Now, it's time for v for vendetta. :D:D:D:D

Frankenberry Mocha Time!

Hi, everyone! As promised, here is my frankenberry post. I love the appearance of it, and no, I did not put it in a mocha. Aiden made coffee today, and I put some hot chocolate in while I ate my cereal and watched Fringe. I may also include an Agent Farnsworth makeup picture tutorial today, since I brought my makeup, but that will have to wait until afer I get my test done. I just can't concentrate if I have so many things bursting through my head, so I'm going to get all of these out, take my test, and then perhaps, if there's time, do the makeup tutorial. It's another thing I like to do - celebrities usually have nice makeup, and the ones that catch my eye, I want to do, myself. I'l surprise you with which ones, though.

Anyway, on to the Berries!
Really cute packaging, all pink!...mostly, anyway.
You can see a castle, frankenberry (whose nails are painted with strawberries), and some pink lightning.
Sorry you'll have to tilt your head, but here are pictures of the halloween cereals in order: frankenberry, my fave, count chocula, and boo berry, which I hope to try this year, even though I don't like blueberry anything, lol. 

Here's a cute comic, it's also on the count chocula box, so I think they probably use it on all of them. 


Here's what they look like (Yes, I like my cereal in a cup! - we have several bowls, for realz, though...)
You can see a blue marshmallow in there, right? Cool, 'eh? I don't know why it's there, but they have blue mallows in here, where in the count chocula they have swirly ones. (the count ones are vanilla/chocolate flavored, these are strawberry, but maybe they mixed some booberry mallows in there, who knows. 

And here's a closeup. 


Anyway, I'll do the ingredients now, and tell you the taste after: 
Ingredients: 



Kk, those are the ingredients, which I got from the food facts website. Thanks food facts!

The taste is very sweet, definitely strawberrylicious, but the appearance initially shocked me. (I opened it a few days before, just to look at it because I was curious.) As you can see, the ghosties are quite neon pink! (Probably why mother never bought me these - to the best of my recollection, anyway.) The smell is definitely strawberry! I liked them enough, but I'll be mixing them with my count chocula when I do have them, unless I find a suitable desert to make with them (like frankenberry treats (think rice crispies treats, but different)).

So, there you have it, if you are a strawberry lover, you will enjoy the cereal mess out of these, cereally. (c'mon, don't tell me you never saw that episode of South Park!) Click the link if you haven't! If you don't like strawberry flavored anything, you are a terrible person and don't deserve the sweet things in life. (I am KIDDING! as my favorite flavor of anything is Cherry, but I'll settle for strawberry if I have to.)
