I was really excited to try all the colors of the Wicked Crown hair Chalk. However, when I came across some YouTube videos where different people were trying out the product, I got scared! It appeared to be a super messy process of wetting the hair, using gloves, chalk getting all over your clothes.
I decided to do it my own way, so I styled my hair, then only wet the end of the chalk, and proceeded to paint the pieces that I’d wanted colored. I would then go over each colored hair section lightly with the flat iron to smooth. BAM! That was it.
My next issue of concern, was whether or not it would wash out easily, since my hair is white. It washed out fine in one shampoo.
Now that I know more about the ease of process, I can continue to try out all the colors. I did blue tips at the bottom with pink around the face the first time. I can’t wait to continue using!
With the Grand Opening event of Impress for Lessat it’s new Houston Willowbrook Mall location, which I attended, the company hosted the women’s charity, Dress for Success.
“Impress for Less is thrilled to open two new Houston locations, both near Willowbrook Mall and off of the Katy Freeway at Tully,” said Dan Pearson, General Manager. “We are privileged to partner with Dress for Success Houston as our charity collaboration for the grand openings, and we encourage all customers to stop by any of our six Houston-area Impress for Less stores and donate to this charity initiative.”
As a Houston stylist, MUA and blogger…I was invited to help style a recipient of new work-appropriate clothing for the charity event! Houston Style Magazine and Vegan Fashion Blog were there working with other recipients of the charity event as well!
It was a blast helping someone, and the store was packed full of great items…home decor, accessories, men’s, women’s, children’s clothing and shoes. Some of the items were designer brands such as Jessica Simpson!
The girls working the store were great and it was a wonderful experience! I was able to completely outfit my recipient with a full spring ensemble, complete with accessories, Steve Madden shoes and bag, all courtesy of Impress for Less!

I don’t get out much, so when I do, getting dressed and half the fun. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo was the perfect opportunity to cut loose and be the Texas hot mess that I am! Lashes, bleach, pink Lancome lipstick, and rhinestones. Oh the joy! This is Texas.
It’s who I am, it takes no thought or work. When I’m trying to fit in and blend…that’s what takes work for me.
I went to the Rodeo with some friends from work. We all ate crazy, fattening foods and all had stomach pains the next morning. It appears that wine, barbecue and ice cream don’t blend well.
I’m too sensible and internalized, but they were singing Wilson Phillips and White Snake tunes the whole way home.
Here lately, I’ve decided that loose fitting clothes are fabulous, but made an exception for the rodeo. The jeans are Inc, and I have two identical pairs in different sizes….pudgy and not as pudgy. The great thing about the jeans is that they have a little stretch to them! Too much stretch makes you look saggy but these are perfect!
I also wanted to show off my trendy/easy/cool three tiered pony tail. One pony tails is too heavy and won’t stay in place, but my three small tails stay in place all day and the humidity level doesn’t matter.
The is a rehashed outfit, with the jacket being used here in my B*** On A Budget post. The necklace from Nordstrom is the only new piece and the jacket was purchased a few months ago, and has been a winter staple. My shopping is very light lately, and not as hard-core as it used to be, because I am more financially mature now so I love remixing old with new.
My previous Rodeo post from two years ago is shown here in Black Leather Houston Rodeo.
My looks might not be for everyone, but after years of creating outfits for customers and doing visual fashion displays and marketing, I’ve learned how to play and mix! It’s so much easier when you have a woman with a perfect body, but as Granny used to always say, “I did the best I could with what I had,” as she often referred to her depression-era fashion and lack of perfect physique.

My dad met and began dating a woman years ago that was always trying out new things. She would read and educate herself on different home remedies and other things. Once, she had peppermint bubble bath of some sort years ago, so I tried it out after she raved about how wonderful it was. I tried it, and the peppermint bath was actually refreshing.
Flash forward to a million years later, when Instanaturaloffered to send some samples of some of their products, and one of which was Peppermint Oil. I got excited since it reminded me of the peppermint bath product from years before.
When my products arrived, I was thrilled to jump into the tub the very first night and try out the Peppermint Oil. Apparently, there is a huge difference in quality between what she was using, and the products by Instanatural. I failed to read up on Peppermint Essential Oil before jumping in the tub, and put way too much in!
This is 100% pure essential oil. The peppermint is supposed to be very good for swelling, and aching muscles, which makes sense because peppermint is methol! After 20 minutes in the tub, it was like having Icy/Hot menthol muscle rub all over my entire body! The next time, I was smarter, and used way less! My bath had a revitalizing aroma, my body felt relaxed, and I didn’t kill myself with menthol this time!
I’ve used it quite a few times since, and it is amazing! It is the most refreshing thing I’ve ever used in the tub. Ever. My feet feel better and less swollen after a long day in heels with just 20 minutes soaking in the tub with my Coconut scented bubble bath, and of course some Peppermint oil thrown in for therapeutic benefits and a spa-like aroma.
Last night, I even put a few drops of the Argan Oil in the tub as well, and my skin felt softer after wards.
As far as the lemon oil goes, the scent is highly refreshing and I’m still researching the many uses that Essential Lemon Oil has! Instanatural.com also has other oils, such as the Lavender Oil that I am wanting to try! This is what I’ve learned about the Peppermint and the Lemon Oils so far;
InstaNatural’s Peppermint Essential Oil is a multi-purpose oil that cools, energizes and refreshes the body and mind. This steam-distilled oil is extracted from dried or fresh leaves from the Mentha Piperita herb, giving it a sharp, menthol fragrance. Its pleasantly sweet and minty aroma makes it a premium choice for aromatherapy to improve the mind and lift the spirits.
Their Lemon Essential Oil is extracted from the rinds of lemon, which lends its fresh citrus fragrance. This cold-pressed oil has a strong bright scent that is both refreshing and uplifting. Its astringent and purifying properties also make it a great aid to help cleanse and tone the skin, while delivering a boost of Vitamin C antioxidant benefits.
InstaNatural is a leading online and global distributor of more than a dozen nature inspired beauty and cosmetics products. Their products are one of the top sellers on Amazon and can also be found in leading spas, salons and aesthetic centers in the US, as well as internationally in UAE, UK and Canada!
As far as the woman my dad met years ago, they got married and she’s still always ahead of her time with new and wonderful ideas! As for me? I’ve learned to put a little effort into every day things, such as bathing…and turn it into a fabulous experience!
