I work a boring 40 hour a week job for a major health insurance company. One perk: I work from home! In my spare time, my big hobby is selling beauty products online: http://www.rubysbeauty.com. I have a pretty massive collection of beauty products, my biggest weakness is any hair product that promises to give me glossy shiny smooth hair. I have been married just over 2 years to my amazing husband, we met on match.com and married about 7 months later. :) My husband is also in the Army National Guard and I love him to pieces! We have two cats (Mollie & Midge, who are sisters) and a mini daschund named Kirby who is 7 months old.
P.S. I have a fan page set up for my store, and I love getting new fans! :)
If I'm out and about and notice my hair starting to get a little frizzy or not laying very nicely, I just rub a little hand lotion on my palms and run my hands over my hair. Works like a charm, any brand, doesn't matter!
My Routine:
I'm a fairly low-maintenance gal, so I don't have a huge beauty routine. If i'm going out, I make sure to wash my face and exfoliate also. Moisturize, foundation, blush or bronzer, eyeshadow, mascara and lipgloss. That's about it!
My Horror Story:
I used to have a mullet pretty much. My mom used to cut my hair and thought I looked "so cute" with my curly hair, so she cut it shorter all around my face (not just bangs, but ALL the way down to my ears!). Sadly, I had no sense of fashion back then so I never even noticed until my friends saw some old pics and pointed that out to me. *so embarassed*
My Celebrity Look-a-like:
Before I had my eyebrows under control: Brooke Shields. Now? No clue.
I originally tried Moroccanoil and loved it, but it was a bit too spendy for me. I went to Sally Beauty Supply and picked up one of these. They sell their 3.4 oz bottle for $8.99, which is a great bargain! I use this stuff every single day, right after washing/conditioning my hair. I towel dry my hair, comb through to get the "snarls" out, then apply this with my hands, then run the comb through again to make sure this is distributed evenly. I usually let my hair air dry, and once it's dry, it feels SO smooth. This also makes it a lot easier when I straighten my hair, as there is absolutely no tugging or pulling from my flat iron. I highly recommend this product!
I LOVE this stuff! I've tried a bunch of different exfoliators and microdermabraison kits, and this one is definately the best one. Smells really good too, and I just can't stop touching my newly smooth forehead after using this! I use this about once a week, in the shower because then I can make sure to get all the little "exfoliators" rinsed off my face. P.S. I bought mine off Ebay because it was significantly cheaper than buying it from Sephora or anywhere else I looked. It does seem expensive, but it really will last you a long time, I promise!
I love this stuff, it has so many uses! I love using this as a moisturizer on my face. For some reason, it makes my face SUPER smooth after leaving it on my face overnight, as in, it feels like I used my Philosophy Micropeel, but all I did was rub coconut oil in. I also use this to make deodorant with. It also works well as a lip balm, and tastes really good also! I have also heard that you can use this as a hair treatment, I haven't tried that yet, but plan to at some point. I bought mine from iherb.com and used a coupon code I found on retailmenot.com to save $5 off my order.
