you should totes give em a try


So my hair is my thing.  I like it, it makes me feel pretty.  It’s long and it’s curly and it has been a variety of shades over the years.  Currently it’s a darker brown with some well-placed highlights.  Having someone else color it was my birthday treat to myself, because to save money I do it at home.

Well years of home coloring, aging, and starting off with already fine hair found me with a mane that felt like straw and frizzed like a bitch.  I tried every shampoo on the market and nothing was giving me the fix I was looking for.  Then I watched the WEN infomercial and my lifelong girl crus Alyssa Milano told me that I could have soft, manageable, healthy locks if I would give this product a try.  So I ordered it.  And holy shit it ACTUALLY DOES everything they say it will do.
I am a believer y’all. It takes a minute to get used to the lack of big suds and a few uses before I found the balance of how long to leave it on vs. how much to use, etc. (using too much made my hair limp and a little sad) but after a week or so I noticed incredible improvements.  It’s not cheap but if you don’t like the hair you have, it’s absolutely worth giving a try. I will never go back to store bought shampoo again.


Hubs is the grill master.  Actually, with the exception of baking, he is by far the better cook in the house.  The kitchen is mostly his domain.  Though, I usually do a healthier array of foods when I do the shopping.  Our favorite way to marinate any meat is to use Alegro.  You’ll find it near the Dales and the Worchersister (that how I say it and I’m too lazy to google how to really spell it – you know what I mean!)
This stuff is so amazing.  It’s akin to soy sauce in flavor profile but it’s got its own specialness.

Grab a bottle and a couple of steaks or a pork loin and give it a try this weekend. So yummy.



Hello, my name is Annabelle coughnotreallycough and I am a lip product addict. 

I don’t wear lipstick, unless I’m feeling slutty – then watch out, but I think I’ve tried almost every lip balm, chapstick, healing gloss, plumper, etc. on the market.  At any given time, there are at least 3 tubes of something in my purse.  More often than not there’s one in my pocket, the cup holder of my car, on my desk.  It’s a problem.

But I can share with you, especially during this cold winter season when it is so important, my favorite find, so that you too can have soft, kissable lips.

Blistex Moisture Melt. Holy love it! Batman. Blistex is my go to product line anyway, they know lips, but this is new and it’s one of the best things they’ve got going. MWUAH!


There you have it folks, three product reviews that I received absolutely no reimbursement of any kind for; I just wanted to share with y’all. 

Have a great weekend!

I've always wanted to try Wen. And there is this pillow I want to try too. Infomercial products look so much fun.

My BFF is also a lip product addict. Whenever we are out and there are free tubes of what ever, we both grab as many as possible for her! lol I'll introduce you both when you're ready to beat your addiction. Until then, enjoy kissable lips!

Have a fabulous weekend! I'm making drunken chicken for ESM's b-day. Her request for her dinner. YUM!

My brother in law absolutely loves WEN. I really want to order it, but I don't want to have to 'subscribe' to it monthly. Can't I just buy one bottle at a time like normal people do?

Also, per your comment today, you can absolutely use my pretty girl picture as your profile pic. DO IT!
