Ovation Cell Therapy, does it really work?

 MY 1 MONTH UPDATE! 
 
How to Use Ovation

MegaTek Review




Ovation Cell Therapy...sounds familar right. You probably heard that name on a radio station like I did. Every time I heard Ovation Cell Therapy, I just heard all of the positive reviews and how it is a must have product. I'm not going to lie, hearing about a product that claims to promote healthy hair got me interested since I have a love and hate relationship with my curls. So, I got to digging and researched this product and got mixed reviews....some people claimed it worked, others said it didn't. Well, I'm about to find out! I ended up purchasing the Mother's day package on Sunday and received my products Thursday afternoon.  I paid about $60 including tax for 6 oz system that included a candle and bath soaps (which smells freaking AMAZING!!!!) I'm about to test out the Ovation Cell Therapy system tonight and will make a video review when I feel like I see actual results. In the meantime, I will be posting more videos, photos and posts frequently on here...and Oh...notice anything new??? :) New layout...aaaand, if you look to the right, you can finally purchase stuff from my closet. 
Feel free to drop a line if you have any suggestions, requests or questions :)

Food & Fitness & More Writing



I was working out at the gym a few hours ago and during my workout, I noticed this lady attempting to mimic my workout routine (love it!!!)...then it dawned on me...I should start to incorporate health and fitness in my posts since our health affects our body which affects how we wear clothes and how we take care of our hair, skin and nails ladies!!! Everything in life is connected as one...and now...so is this blog :) With all the extra time on my hands, I have been cooking and experimenting in the kitchen and would like to share my creations with you all. I just know my mother who is probably reading this is laughing and thinking to herself, "Are you trying to make your readers sick?".... I can really cook and bake ladies and gentlemen...pretty damn well if I say so myself. My style though... organic items, no pork, red meats and definitely no soda. I am not a nutritionist, I'm just logging how I eat and how I work out.  Just realize everyone is different and sometimes things can mesh with others and sometimes it's not meant to be. But I hope you enjoy my future photos and posts!

Good evening everyone!
I have all this time on my hands and I am loving every minute of it.  I have been writing nonstop and working on creative projects that I can finally give my full attention to (be prepared for A LOT of DIY posts, music posts and beauty posts!) Another bit of great news....I AM FINALLY SINGING AGAIN!!!!!! Starting next week, I will be singing at different venues around the Bay Area and will post up a schedule of where you can come hear me sing.   Aside from music...I will posting up another haul (Summer Haul) in a couple days...yes yes I know, I shop a lot, but I work hard!!! But my summer wardrobe has been completed which means I will be shopping a lot less which means less hauls and more posts with a variety of other topics.  I also received a request on Youtube to do more hair videos...so I'm thinking about making that another big focus for my blog :) Hope May is treating you all well!!!
