Natural Hair ** Products that really work!

Okay, so I actually purchased the Optimum Amla Legend 10-N-1 Silky Blow Out Elixir / Heat Defense (long name IKR) as a heat defense for my Hair Weave.  Well, this product should be renamed and re-packaged because it actually “Sucks” as a blow out Elixir and Heat Defense!  But determined not to waist my money; I decided to do a Rose’s Re-mix and try it on my natural hair.  I sprayed my freshly washed and conditioned hair with S Curl No Drip Curl Activator & Moisturizer.  Yes I said it!  S Curl! Curl Juice!  “just let your soul glow” Old School!  But it works much better than most of the New Natural Hair Products on the Market!  I then sprayed  squirts of the Optimum  Amla into my hands and rubbed it onto my hair from root to tip! This combo made my hair sooo soft and  manageable!!!!  This is truly a must have!

Part 2 of Spring Break 2K15 -New Orleans-Explore the Gulf Coast

Explore the Gulf Coast! Biloxi Mississippi / New Orleans,

I’m originally from Florida, so we have traveled to Florida on Vacation a million times! Therefore, needless to say my Daughter is burned out on Disney and Universal Studios!  This is my  Daughter’s Senior Year in High School and she is asking to go somewhere different, other than the usual Spring Break Spot of Panama City Beach (PCB).

So in true Go 2 Rose  fashion, I began to look for somewhere different to Vacation.  I came across the Mississippi Gulf Coast.  I know what your thinking “Mississippi?”  “Vacation, New Orleans Spring Break?” I was thinking the same thing!!! However, I was pleasantly surprised.  The Missisppi Gulf Coast is lined with beautiful White Sandy Beaches and Biloxi is like a mini Vegas and April is a great time to Visit New Orleans because the French Quarters Festival was held on the 2nd week of April this year!   Great Place to Vacation!!!  

So I’ll final stop on Spring Vacation is New Orleans Beeeeby!!! We  stayed at the Sheraton Hotel in Metairie, just outside of New Orleans.  This Hotel is not as Fancy Smancy as the Golden Nugget, but that okay because most of our time in New Orleans was spent outside the Hotel!  This Hotel is very clean and quiet but the parking Deck is a complete nightmare!  Continue reading

Hello Dolls & Divas!

Sooooo  my #1 Obsession is Neiman Marcus (NM)!  My sister introduced me to this fancy Atlanta Department Store waaaay back in the 90’s while I was a Poor College Student.  We visited NM during the Holiday Season and that’s when I became completely obsessed with the Neiman Marcus Liquor Cakes!  These super moist Minuature bundt cakes are a peice of Heaven in Atlanta!  AND even better!  The NM Associate advised my Sister and I to come back the day after Christmas when everything would be 1/2 off!  Great for a College Poor College Student!!!  Well now I am the Mother of a Soon To Be Poor College Student and I still visit Neiman Marcus every Christmas Season (day after Christmas of course) to purchase my Neiman Marcus Liquor Cakes.

Rose’s Remix / Combat Nose Shine!

Hello Diva & Dolls!!

I love most things to Sparkle and Shine!  However, my nose is definitely not one of them!!  I have tried everything from Finishing Powder to Rice Paper, which all work  pretty well.  However, I found myself having to keep touching up or blotting numerous times throughout the day!  Uugh!  So one day while I was messing around in the mirror a light bulb went off!  -DING-  Powder fight offs moisture and Alcohol dries out oil!  Sooooo….I decided to mix a little of both in my hand.  It formed a loose type of paste.  I then placed it on my nose.  Once on my nose, it immediately dried “white” but don’t be alarmed once you apply liquid foundation it becomes invisible. (Powder Foundation will NOT work with this method). To my surprise, I went all day with a perfectly matte & unshiny snout!  Follow these instructions for a Super Simple way to REMIX Baby Powder and Alcohol to make Anit-Shine Weapon for your nose.

  • 1) Sprinkle a few dabs of Baby Powder (Any Brand will Work / Cornstarch or Not) into your a free hand.
  • (2)  Dab a few small drops of Alcohol (I like the Evergreen Kind / But any will work) on top of the powder that’s already in your other hand.
  • (3) Take you finger (on your free hand) and mix the alcohol and powder together to form a loose paste.
  • (4) Immediately rub a thin layer of the paste on your nose.  
  • (5) Once completely dry / dust off any excess powder or clumps.
  • (6) Complete by blotting liquid foundation on the nose (using a foundation brush) I recommend the Sonia Kashuk Foundation Brush found at Target stores
