Products im loving right now...

I have been using the same products for about the past 3 months, some longer.

Simply because i love all of it, and its working great for me so far. 

Some of these products are my holy grail products. 

1. Noxzema Hydrating Makeup Remover Wipes - I love these makeup wipes. First off, you get about 30 wipes, and usually i use just half of one, cuz they are quite large, and on work days i dont wear too much makeup. So i can usually cut some in half and get 2 uses out of them. So you get 30 large wipes for $3 something. Id say thats a great deal! They are inexpensive, and work very well. I like that the wipe itself has texture, i feel like the grainy texture of it helps scrub my makeup off better. These are the only wipes that work well for my eyes too. You obviously have to rub a bit, but they work much better then the Nuetrogena ones, where you use the whoel wipe for one eye. But i have to warn you, if your big on flowery fragrances in your face products ans such, this is deff not it. It actually has a more medicated smell. Something like Vicks Vapor Rub or so..If you knwo what i mean. I personally prefer that, it makes me think because it smells medicated it must be very good for my skin lol. And it is! Ill be honest with you, I hate washing my face with cleansers and yadda yadda, so i only do that about 3 times a week. Every other day i use just the wipes, and they work splended! My face feels clean, and never breaks out! Holy Grail Product.

2. Noxzema Deep Cleansing Cream - Same goes with this cream as the wipes as far as the smell. Medicated. But i love that smell. Mmm lol. This lil tub is pretty huge, and is aloooot of product, and will last you a longgg time. This usually lasts me a few months, 3 or so, and i use it maybe once a week in the shower. I put it on like a mask, and let it sit for afew minutes. You feel it tingle, and open up your sinuses. Its amazing for my skin. I do this to clean and open up the pores usually on the weekends after a week of yucky makeup everyday. This does the trcik. This is also in expensive for the amount! I think its around $4-$5! Crazy. Love it! I get mine at Target or Walmart. Try this brand! 

3. Suave Hairspray in Touchable Finish - I just got this about 2 weeks ago, after using Dove hairspray for a year or so. I wanted something more light, and something that wouldnt make my hair feel and look crispy, as sometimes i use a lot, cuz i curl and tease my hair often. I also wanted something that DIDNT smell like hairspray. So far so good, im loving it! Its smells AMAZING, i could prob wear it as perfume, hah! And i love how light and misty it goes on.

4. Salon Grafix Invisible Dry Shampoo - I love dry shampoo. I have really reallllly long hair, down to my lower back/bum area. So washing and blow drying my hair is TORTURE. I HATE it!! Ask the boy, theres nothing i complain about more! It takes forever. So i try to get away with out washing it as long as i can, usually 3 days. And not washinng my hair doesnt mean i dont shower. Settle down over there lol. So in between washes i like to use a dry shampoo, i use this one all the time, and it gets the job done, i also like that it doesnt leave white powder by your roots and doesnt make my hair feel chalky like most do. I think it costs around $6 at Walmart.

5. Treseme Dry Shampoo - Another dry shampoo. I use this one when i need something more heavy duty haha! I dont recommend it to those who have darker hair tho, as it leaves white dust at your roots. My sister has light brown hair, and pulls it off, but no darker than that, or you'll deff see it. And because this is so chalky based, the nozzle that sprays can get clogged. Mine did. boo! Overall a good product of you need a quick fix for 3-4 day hair! I actually like this product currently cuz im sportin roots atm, gross, i know, and cuz of the chalkiness, it lightens my roots a shade or two, and makes them less noticeable. hah!

6. Burts Bees Orange Extract Facial Cleanser- This stuff is ah-mazing! Your face will feel so soft and moisturized after, its incredible! I deff recommend everyone try this! 

7. Dove Ultimate Go Fresh Deodorant in Burst Nectarine & White Ginger Scent - This is the best deodorant i have ever tried! It works great and smells delicious! Ive even had people ask me what fragrance im wearing! haha! Holy Grail Product.

8. H20 Moisturizer - I have no idea where i got this, its been awhile, cuz it lasts a long time! A little goes a long way! This is the best moisturizer i have ever used and prob will ever use. That is how amazing it is. It feels like a splash of water on my face! Its really light, really refreshing, it feels like water, and its not oily. I LOVE it! It hydrates my skin for hours! Try finding it online, i PROMISE you, you wont regret it! HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT!

I hope ya'll give these products a try! Im gonna continue being a fatty and eat my homemade Cookies & Cream Cookies with Hershey Kisses. In Bed. 

Tootaloo!

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, & 22!

Day 16: A picture of someone who inspires you.

Jesus Christ. And i mean it. 

Day 17: A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life recently. 

Saving money. As ya'll should know from previous posts, one of my new years resolutions was to start saving money, and i recently started to. I am surprised and so very proud of myself for this. Because if theres anything anyone knows about me, its that i cannnnot save money. I just cant, and dont. The only times i had ever saved money in my entire life was for vacations. Ya, thats how ridiculous i am. I spend all my money on food, clothing, going out, random crap i dont need, and even more food. I live paycheck to paycheck. Looking back a few months ago, i seriously dont know how i could have spent my entire paycheck in 2 weeks. I dont pay rent, i have afew bills, but nothing major. In 2 weeks i would go through hundredsssss of dollars and never had anything to show for it, except weight gain hah! So you have no idea how hard it was for me to finally commit to saving my money, and budgeting to the dollar! It was hard for a few weeks, but now it just seems normal. It feels good. Its not that hard to do, its about making up your mind. Changing your mind set. This is huge for me! And im doing FANTASTIC with it! Im so proud of myself, and it feels good to know im close to accomplishing one of my goals this year. Its really changed my thinking. :)

Day 18: A picture of your biggest insecurity.

My weight. And i dont wanna sound ridiculous cuz i know im not fat. But i do think i can be smaller, leaner, toner, and healthier. Actually, i know i can. I have been. And thats why i have such a hard time with my current weight. When youve seen yourself at your best, you wont be satisfied with anything else. Am i right? If i had never been smaller, i would probably not have a problem with my current weight. But because i know i have and can be, i do have a problem. I wanna look my best, why would i wanna settle for anything else? I dont. I also know i control this. I know its because my eating habits and no exercise are horrific. I need to change this. And i vow to do so this year. Hopefully sooner than later haha :)

Day 19: A picture and a letter.

Mama, im sorry for making you sad today. I dont deserve you. You are a much greater person that i will ever be. Your a beautiful, amazing, loving, caring, sweet person, and you deserve better. Thank you for feeding us, cleaning for us, doing our laundry. Making a home for us. For loving us. I am very fortunate to have a mother like you. One that loves  me selflessly, has always taken care of me, kept me safe, and prayed for me. I am grateful for the many nights you've cared for me when i was sick, for taking me to church, for all the things you've done for this family, for working so hard every single day, for having six of us brats. Sorry for being selfish today, and for hurting your feelings. I know you forgive me, because you love me like that. Like only a momma does. I love you <3

Day 20: A picture of somewhere youd love to travel.

Australia.

Day 21: A picture of something you wish you could forget.

Obama. I dont mean to offend anyone. But im being real. If you dont like it, dont comment. Presidents these days over all. If you look at Presidents like George Washington, Abe Lincoln, etc and todays Presidents, read what those men wrote, what they thought, what they wanted for this country, and look at todays men, its saddening, and excruciatingly disappointing. We need great leaders like that again. Ones whos true best interest, is this country. This man....lets not start this actually. I get heated. 

Day 22: A picture of something you wish you were better at.

Expressing my feelings. I dont have a problem with that with M anymore, but like family and friends.

Phewwww, i got this done! Its 3:12am, but i was determined! :)

Have a beautiful day ladies, with lotsa sunshine and smiles!

xoxo Inna :)

I hate thongs.

Im doing horribly with the 30 Day Challenge, especially around the weekend, i know.

I'll get to it, i promise!

Heres something until then!

A-Age: 22. I seriously feel like my life is over already. Im pathetic, i know. Im also very very paranoid about wrinkles, not that that stops me from rubbing the heck outta my eyes with my makeup remover wipes. 

B-Bed Size: Queen. And it isnt large enough...

C-Chore you hate: I hate unloading the dishwasher. No, i DESPISE it. I would rather hand wash everything then unload the dishwasher in order to put the dirty ones in.

D-Dogs: I want one. But we live in a rental.

E-Essential start to your day: Pshhh, Pleaseeee, nothing i do ever wakes me up.

F-Favorite Color: Hah! Thee rainbowwwww :D

G-Gold or Silver: Both, thats hard to really say. I dont like granny gold jewelry, but i do like gold jewelry, as long as it doesnt look tacky. So then theirs silver. Silvers fine, But i usually think its a bit boring, and theres just something about it, that im not totally in love with. Ehh i dunno.

H-Height: 5'3ish.

I-Instruments you play: zip! I wish i could play the piano. I dont know why the guitar is so fascinating to everyone these days. Its aight. I dont think it can move people quite like a piano can.

J-Job Title: Receptionist/Concierge. Meaning i do anything and everything but dont get paid enough.

K-Kids: I want some! I want a boy first. I just like them better. I think they are funner, and easier im sure. I dont want all boys, id like a lil girl too, but id be happy with 3 boys and a girl! :)

L-Live: There are so many places id like to experience living in! Like a beach town, also a gorgeous southern town with green lawns and white colonial homes, a busy city in a brownstone or loft, and suburbia. We'll see where i really end up...

M-Moms name: Maria.

N-Nickname: You really think you can make my name any shorter? I dont think so. Its as easy as it gets, 4 letters & simple to pronounce (e-nuh). Mister calls me a lot of various pet names. Babycakes & bunny seems to be his favorite. Im not gonna give you the explanation he gave me for that one. Youd die. hahahaha.

O-Overnight hospital stay: None. Thank you God.

P-Pet Peeve: When people take hours to reply to a text, or just dont at all. And it'll be like in the middle of a conversation. I get impatient while driving quite often, but im deff not as bad as i used to be! Flakers too, i have alot of friends like that lol. There are many, but those should be good for now.

Q-Quote from a movie: Brain fart...

R-Right/Lefty: Right handed.

S-Siblings: Eddie 23, Vita 20, Nelly 18, Mark 16, & Ella 13.

T-Time you wake up: Im way too embarassed to say on here.

U-Underwear: Boy shorts all the way. I hate thongs. I rarely wear one! I dont think ive worn one in years! Although the boy prob prefers i do. hah!

V-Veggies you dislike: I dont really dislike any veggies. Atleast none that i can think of right now...

W-What makes you run late: Procrastinating. And usually finding something to wear.

X-X-RAYS youve had: Teeth?

Y-Yummy food you make: I have to say, i make thee best quesadillas, sandwiches/paninis, omellets ever :D

Z-Zoo animal: Id like to own a cute monkey :)

Alrighty, Back to work!

Summer, I miss you baby!

Im sorry guys! I have really been bummin it lately!

I havent been posting much, except the usual 30 Day Photo Challenge.

Ive been lazy, tired, and blehhhh lately.

Im a stinker, i know. lol.


I had such a busy day at work today! I was pooped half way through my shift! But at least i got all my work done for the rest of the wk! phew! Im exhausted.

I am soooooooo ready for summer!!! Gah! Its killin' me! I wanna wear thin light clothes, not heavy layering.

I want warmth! Im tired of piling on sweaters jackets scarves and when i get home, hiding under piles of blankets! I mean commoooooon, im in CALIFORNIA! The east is getting better weather than us! wtf.

I want Lake time! I miss going to the lake with my girlfriends before work almost every single day & layin out and tanning.

I miss it being light out later! Fun fact: I hate night time! I like day time, the light! I just love it!

I miss going out with friends cuz :

a. College is out. No studying.

b. More time = more work = more money to actually do things!

c. Its not freezing and you can actually do things other than eat out! ha!

Although i do plenty of that in the summer! ha! I miss outdoor patios with friends for hours!

I miss BBQs.
I miss road trips!

I can go on for dayyyyyyys!

Does all this make your eyes hurt? haha!

& I miss color! look at these pictures! Id never be able to achieve this kind of color if i took a picture in this crappy weather! Colorful nail polish, swimsuits, clothes, food, etc. <3

In other news, My friend Veronika, the one i do the most ****** up with with, wants me to go away to Italy for a year with her this fall. She went last year for a few months, and fell in love! Ive always wanted to do something like that! But im not sure Italy is where id wanna go for a year. Im thinking like Australia, or Greece or somethin :D Im also not sure how thatd work with with the mister. Itd be too too hard! But then again, if i wanna do something liek this, this is the time! Before our relationship gets even more serious!

And im afraid ill miss home/America too much! Like In n Out and our tv shows/music, and food, and people and culture! So im kinda stuck here on what to do. If shes willing to go some place other than Italy, im seriously considering going! That way i can travel all of Europe and etc! Its way cheaper once your already over there! & we can do more ****** up things there! haha!

More news:

Ladiesssss, im doing SOOOO well on saving for a new car!!! Im surprised! & so is everyone else! haha. If you knwo me, you know i cant save money for ****! I usually spend it on going out or food or other silly things! But im on a roll! I feel bad about spending like $7 for Chipotle! So i just dont! When i used to not even think about it, and swipe that plastic baby! 

Pat on the back for me! :D

I need to get my hair done. These roots are uh growin! ha!

My healthy eating habits have drastically spiraled for the bad lately. Someone please yell at me!

Quick question ladies!
Do you guys know of a good Bubble Bath brand? All the products ive tried suck. The bubbles arent big, and disappear within afew minutes! I want lotsa lotsa bubbbbbles!
And do you know of a good face mask product? I really need to work on my skin before summer, its been gettin kinda blah. I was in Target yesterday and didnt notice anything rly. I was surprised there arent very many face mask products out there! Everythings a cleanser or toner or wtvr, i think i saw like 2 face masks, and both didnt look too great. Maybe i missed something?
Please let me know girls!

Im gonna go sulk my fatty bum bum in bed with a movie.

Goooodnight pretty!
