Good afternoon!!!!

A lot of great new changes are going on in my life right now.  I closed the door to my opprotunity that was in San Francisco to open a new door to two new opprotunities in San Jose (best decision ever) Here are some pictures from this week and last week.

Photo one is from today for my meeting: Banana Republic Cardigan, Basic Tank, Ann Taylor pants & H&M belt.

Photo two was from Sunday, all of that amazing food that is photographed was from La Boulange, The Posh Bagel, Starbucks and my mama & the last photo was the entrance to the place I use to work (buh byeee)

I still have yet to do another mix and match post which will be up in a couple of days, and I will also be posting up another youtube video on how I use Ovation Cell Therapy since I am getting different questions about that, so stay tuned and have a lovely Tuesday!

Ovation Cell Therapy Does It Really Work? Video Review

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 :)

Want to get rid of acne marks or have glowing skin...Oxygen Peel is the product for you!

My free gifts

My Face Cleanser and my face exfoliator

Body Wash and Lotion

So I went to Ulta for the first time today....HEAVENNNN!!!! :) The staff was super sweet, informative and helped me find the best product that matched my needs.  I ended up purchasing the Oxygen Peel by Philosophy since my skin has been spazzing out lately...I think it was due to stress....BUT! I went with the brand Philosophy because majority of my skin products are by them and I am EXTREMELY picky when it comes to facial products and Philosophy is great for all skin types. I have been splurging on face and hair products because I feel when you get great quality products, you get great results which is worth spending the extra buckeroos. But anywhoooo, I will be posting up a video review hopefully at the end of next week depending how long the results take :)

Off to the gym! Have a good evening!!!

San Francisco to San Jose

San Francisco at 6:45 am before my shoot 

Juicy Couture Flats and Romeo and Juliet Couture Blazer

Moroccan Hair Oil (Hallelujah!!!) 12 Benefits Hair Treatment and Philosophy Facial Cleanser

For the past month, I have not been in the same city for more then four days and have been running around like a chicken with its head cut off.  So on Friday, I had some down time and treated myself to some cute flats by Juicy Couture and a new blazer by Romeo and Juliet Couture....like I didn't have enough black blazers in the first place :P The three products below (Moroccan Oil, 12 Benefits and Philosophy) are products that my mother so nicely treated me too that work like magic!!! They are quite a bit pricey for me to purchase on a regular basis, but the products are worth it especially the moroccan oil which smells oh so delicious!!! Any who, I did some major cleaning in my closet this week and it is time for some serious shopping!!! So keep your eye out for a haul and also keep your eye out for some new photos from my photo-shoot that I did last Saturday in San Francisco. Have a good night lovely readers, time for that good ole homework!!!

Red Lips and Crosses

I loveeee make-up....but not so much on me. My daily make-up routine is literally applying a little bit of loose powder on my oily spots and mascara...but majority of the time, I love going all natural :)  Recently, I have been experimenting with lip sticks, lip glosses and lip stains including liquid eyeliners. In the photo above I am wearing a lip stain by benefit called benetint and the color I have on is rose.

You can find this product at sephora, macys etc. for $26 

(I do not own this photo)

I rarely wear eyeliner and when I do, I apply it under my eyes using a pencil liner versus liquid. Since I was experimenting, I used liquid eyeliner on the top of my lids (no cat eye/wing eye).  In the photo above, I used the almay liquid liner in black...I usually go for dark brown so it doesn't look harsh. But since I have black at the moment, I just sweep a little light brown eye shadow on my lids to soften it up.

You can find this product at any drugstore for $4-$5

(I do not own this photo)

I will do a post...maybe even a video on just my daily skin/make-up routine :)

Now! Jewelry hehehe :D Lately I have been going all out for accessories!!!! I was at the mall today catching up with my old high school friend Kara and we both decided to go into forever21 just to browse. Yea....browsing, without getting anything....doesn't work for Olive :P I ended up buying a little something something anddd I purchased a necklace and a pair of cute little earrings for $1.50 each.

So my beauties, that is all! As you can see I'm trying to stay on top of my blog which I am successfully doing for now!!!! So always keep coming back or just follow my blog which you can do by clicking the follow button at the upper left corner :)
