I love big, flowy, comfortable yet cute and this olive green off the shoulder dress from Love Culture gets it just right! You guys know about my obsession with the color white, but allow me to introduce to you my obsession with boho chic earth toned dresses and big hair. This style has been a summer staple in my closet for a while now and it will continue to be until NC weather begins to cool down. What I like about these dresses is that it hides many of my problem areas. If you want something that is trendy but not clingy, this fabric and flowy dress is a must. The peplum bottom gives it a very feminine, flirty look and doesn’t make you look to boxy because it adds shape. Of course, you know I’ve been rocking the off the shoulder dresses for awhile now and I have gathered a pretty nice collection for the summer months. If there is one trend i’ve been swooning over all summer it’s the off the shoulder look. It’s so flirty and fun! If you haven’t already done so, make your way over to the http://www.loveculture.com and check out all the new dresses, boutique styles and cute sunnies they have! I promise you won’t be disappointed!
Sincerely,
Deidra Marie

I’m waving my American flag and and kindly surrendering to this poor NC weather. 😦 It’s kind of a bummer that my plans to cookout are now officially derailed by this unforgivable, unpredictable NC rain that’s headed our way in the next few hours. Grrr, so wanted to sip on my cold cream soda and enjoy hot dogs and hamburgers in my backyard. We are still having guest come over the house and food on the grill today but it just won’t be the same with not a sun ray in sight.  If you don’t know, Netflix is a must when the rain makes my fourth of July cookout plans a bust. Ha ha, rhymes.
While I am not to happy about this terrible weather, I’m am happy to share the deets on this cute little mock neck tie-dyed mini dress I’m rocking from Rue21. I’ve taken a bit of a liking to Rue21. I find some of the most eclectic and affordable pieces from their online store. This dress can pretty much be worn to any beach outing or summer cookout. This dress has me feeling like Jimi Hendrix girlfriend or some rocker stars girlfriend from Woodstock. Ha, it’s funny how my clothes always seem to transport me to another decade. Did I ever share with you that I’m a bit obsessed with the 70’s. Yes, I truly believe I should have been born in this decade. Matter of fact, I went to a 70’s birthday party and literally didn’t have to buy an outfit for the occasion 🙂 Guess my wardrobe is out of date, I like to say it’s just trendy. 😉
Just in case you’re wondering, the multi-colored thread earrings I’m wearing were hand made by one of my Nigerian friends. She loves making her own jewelry and I love taking it; the perks of having a artsy fartsy friend.
May your burgers and hot dogs rest safely in their buns and may the weather not ruin your perfect 4th of July festivities.
Happy 4th yall’s!
Sincerely,

MIELLE ORGANICS PRODUCT REVIEW

Mielle Organics Babassu Oil Mint Deep Conditioner

Hi everyone, my name is Deidra and I’m a product junkie. I’ve struggled with this addiction for years and have sought help on multiple occasions but just can’t seem to kick the habit and I’m not really sure I want to. Ha, what a great way to start off my post with confessions of my addictions to hair and beauty products. Now that we got all that out the way, shall we get down to the nitty gritty?

If your a product junkie like me, then you know all to well about the hottest, latest and greatest products on the market. It only takes one good promotional email raving about the newest product on the shelves and instantly I’m in my car headed to the nearest Target to see what all the buzz is about. This wasn’t the case with Mielle Organics. I was casually scrolling through Instagram when I came across a video post of a girl showing her hair results after using the Mielle Organics Babassu Mint Almond Oil Deep Conditioner for the first time. Her curls were luscious, detangled and ultra defined! I fell in love instantly, headed straight home and made my first purchase at Mielle Organics. I ordered a bundle package because it is my belief that you can never really weigh the effectiveness of any product from a product line if you don’t sample at least a few items from the product line all together. Most product line items are designed to work together, this explains why a lot of product instructions usually start off with a sentence like

 “For best results, follow up with…___insert product name_________ ”

Please Check the pros and cons of my Mielle Organics experience.

Pros

  • MO Deep Conditioner smells minty and fresh
  • MO Deep Conditioner leaves my curls bouncy defined and adds a great moisture protein balance to my hair regimen.
  • MO Shampoo is ultra moisturizing yet still cleanses effectively
  • MO Shampoo thin consistency is easy to work through extremely dense hair and really exfoliates the scalp

Cons

  • I was not a fan of the MO co-wash. This item didn’t get my hair clean and I had to use so much in order for it to feel like it was cleansing my strands. The product is very light weight, thin and runny. I did like the slip but my hair didn’t feel as clean compared to other conditioners I’ve used for co-washing.
  • The cost of MO products are reasonably priced, but I have seen effective hair lines on the market that are lower in price as well.
  • Up until a about 4 months ago, I had to order my products online because there were no locations that sold this item but now there are some Sally’s Beauty stores that now sell the MO line.
  • I love the MO hair milk, but I have to use this item in conjunction with an oil as it is not as moisturizing as I’d like. My hair is extremely dense so I have to thoroughly comb products through to make sure every strand gets some product. FYI-layering multiple products on my hair is necessary.
Overall, I truly enjoy this line. No hair care line is perfect, but this line meets almost all of my hair care needs (detangling, moisture-protein balance, curl definition). I have been a faithful consumer for over a year now and am very satisfied. If you are on the market for an all natural, organic hair care line, I highly recommend Mielle Organics.
Sincerely,
Deidra Marie
