Fall TV Show Premieres

Hey everyone! It has been WAY too long since I've posted on here and i do apologize! I have been so busy and sidetracked with everything going on but I am back and I hope you're all excited for more posts :) So today i was thinking about all the television shows that come back this fall and wanted to tell you what i'm excited about and which ones you can suggest to me! Lets get right into it :)

First off, Criminal Minds is back!! I have loved this show for awhile and have watched it faithfully for about 4 years now! I love any murder mystery, crime, detective show and this one is definitely one of my favorites. If the website i checked is right it's going to be back on September 25th!





Next up we have my favorite singing competition show. X Factor! This one is really awesome and i actually just recently got into it last season. Auditions have finished and I believe they have announced the return date for September 11th!


                                       


And Lastly, Bones. This is another detective show, but it's so different then criminal minds. I love this shows actors and actresses and think the story line is just awesome! 

                                        

So that's about it! I don't have time for more then these 3 usually but if you have any other suggestions let me know in the comments! I've also been loving Orange is the New Black on Netflix. Once you get past the initial awkward boob scenes, it's a great show! I'm also very sad that the summer finale of Pretty Little Liars is coming up :( I have to know what happens! 

Anyways that is it! Let me know what shows you guys are looking forward to starting up again and which ones your sad about ending. I hope you enjoyed today's post!

Hair Care Products

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to talk to you about my hair care products that I use on a regular basis!

First of all, I recently dyed my hair a very dark brown, almost black colour, and have noticed that it has been becoming very greasy very soon after washes. I have found a new shampoo that I plan on ordering soon because it i specifically for oily hair types and has great reviews! But on a normal day I have been using any one of the Aussie brand shampoos and conditioners. I found that they don't make my hair fall out and I like the small of them! However since I have had this oil problem, I am going to be switching to Aubrey Organics, Green Tea, clarifying shampoo for oily hair. Everyone said really good things about this product so I am going to be trying it in a month or so hopefully! (The website I have to order it from takes quite a long time to ship) As for my conditioner, I'll be sticking with Aussie for now but have been told to just make sure I don't apply it to my roots and rinse with cool water, so hopefully that will help!









Once a week I also use a deep conditioning hair mask. My choice is the L'oreal Re-nutrition Deep Moisture mask. As much as i dislike the smell of this product, it makes my hair super soft and smooth!




For brushes and combs, I'm really not picky. I usually go for the most inexpensive ones at walmart.

While my hair is still wet or damp, I apply the John Frieda Frizz Ease straight fixation smoothing cream. This product helps to tame the insane amount of frizz i get naturally with my curls. I've been using this product for almost a year and so far so good!



Before I use any heat on my hair, I try to remember to use a heat protectant. The one I'm currently using is the Got2B Guardian Angel Heat protectant spray. I find this is an affordable choice and it works!






That is pretty much it for hair care. I try not to use too many styling products, as I find they damage my hair. Besides blow drying and straightening every once in awhile, I normally wear my hair natural or up in a bun or pony tail.

I hope you all enjoyed this post! Let me know what your favorite hair care products are in the comments! :)

New youtube channel! booktube?!

Hey everyone! obviously I've been super absent from the blog lately but things have been busy (see a couple posts back for an explanation). I'm just going to get right into what i want to talk to you about.

 Most of you may know I've been participating in the booktubeathon for the last week and today is the last day! going through this readathon was so much fun and i have a blast watching youtubers check in videos. These youtubers who talk about books are refered to as booktubers, hence the title of this post! So anyways some of you may know that i tried making beauty videos before. I love watching other peoples but i'm just not into it all enough to keep up with it. However, I love books enough and read enough that i'm sure that I could do it with a booktuber channel, so this is what I plan to do! I'm going to get my first video ever up tonight and it is going to be about my progress through the booktubeathon and my final count of books, pages, and challenges I've completed, and I am super excited to film it! (My camera is charging as i type this and as soon as this is posted i'm going to set up my background stuff!) I'm not guaranteeing that this will work out and i can't promise i will keep up with it but I am very excited to try! :)

Thanks for the support i hope you will give me throughout this new journey! :)
