I got this (#4) hair piece at Joan's and it's actually a fabric, I use bobby pins to secure it.

Summer's must-haves fashion, hair, and beauty / Lo que no te puede faltar este verano

Helloooo summer! Here are my must-haves fashion, beauty, and hair items for this season.
Fashion
You may see it on magazines or on that hot curly girl neighbor next door, but what are you waiting for, get some pieces for your self. I put on a cute collage of floral, affordable (yes because I am on a budget and maybe you are too) but super cute pieces..

Hair

Summer means heat, salt, and chlorine, that not only stresses the hair (who wants big, stressed, curly hair? lol) but makes your hair brittle, without shine and zero elasticity. This Neutrogena Triple Moisture Hair collection gives your hair that extra moisture you hair needs during summer. The product line is under $7.00 and I love that the leave-in contains UV filters that protect the hair from the environmental damage. 

Neutrogena Triple Moisture 

Face

BB cream, CC cream and now DD cream? No, I am not teaching you the alphabet, all these face creams are the new trend and I particularly love it, because it is like all in one: a very natural look, it is basically like foundation, but lighter that won't clog your pores, it conceals, refines skin, gives a very youthful skin, UV protection, and some even have anti-wrinkle and skin-lightening benefits.

I am using the all new Julep DD cream and I am in love with it , of course, consider the fact that this is my first BB, CC, DD or whatever letter cream, before this one, I was pretty much in love with the tinted moisturizer, but this one is so much better.. 

Julep DD cream 

Features & Benefits:

Brightens and evens skin tone

Erases minor and major imperfections

Age-defying antioxidants protect delicate and damage-prone areas

Light-diffusing powders minimize wrinkles and pores

Highly concentrated formula

Comes in three shades—light, medium, and dark

All about hair Gel/ Todo sobre los geles para el cabello.

I get a lot of questions about Gel, most curly girls like the way gel leaves their hair but they don't like the crunchy feeling and the guilty pleasure that gel may damage their hair. I don't use it all over my hair because I don't like how my hair looks; I like soft, manageable, loosen curls, but in this post I will discuss all about gel and the best options for you if you like to use them.

The main ingredient in gels is a plastic called PVP; a polymer sealer that strengthens the hair cuticle to shape the hair. This PVP is dissolved in water or alcohol and form a clear film between each hair strand , attaching it to one another. 

When gel is applied to wet hair, the PVP or similar ingredient absorbs water quickly. When the gel dries completely, it forms a fixed connection between hair strands.

Since the main ingredient in hair gel is water-soluble, if you want to refresh your style, reactivate the gel by spraying a little water into your hair and reshaping.

To remove the gel, shampoo or rinse with water to break the PVP's water-soluble connections.

The bad side.

• Since gel is water soluble, if it is rainy or especially humid, the gel might get sticky again or deactivate altogether.
• The alcohols in some gels can dry out hair. Since curly hair is already dry, gels with alcohol are bad choices for us.
• Gel builds on hair follicles over time, especially with everyday use. If you plan to use gel as your primary hairstyling product, you'll want to use a clarifying shampoo at least once a week.
• There are low-quality and high-quality gels. For this reason if you are a gel lover, please choose a High quality one and with no alcohols.

Here are some recommendations:
