Style Icon: Kelly Rowland
Member of Destiny's Child and solo singer, Kelly Rowland is on fire. With her new hot song "Motivation" she is starting to shine. I think Kelly Rowland (or whoever styles her) has a great sense of style. She switches from casual to sexy. Some of her outfits are a miss but most of the time she coordinates very well. I love that the bright colors she wears compliment her skin tone, thats why she is one of my personal style inspirations.

Summer Must Have: Hat
Hats are amazing because they protect you from this scorching sun lol (especially if you live in a warmer climate like me). Even if you dont live in a warmer climate, you can still wear these types of hats. They look good with just jeans and a simple tee or a sundress. You can wear them going out to the beach, just chilling around your city, or on a vacation. Hats can be styled many different ways, that's why I love them.
Do you like wearing hats?

That Tingling Sensation: Hair Product Reviews
Dr. Miracle's Tingling Intensive Deep Conditioning Treatment
According to the packaging the Benefits are:
- "feel it" formula's tingling sensation supports strong growing hair and healthy scalp
- strengthens hair while adding brilliant shine and fabulous body.
- Treatment continues to work after you stop feeling it
- thermalceautical complex wakes up your sleeping hair follicles.
I freaking love this conditioner. It gives my head a really nice feeling (like when a hair stylist is shampooing and scratching your scalp lol). I've used this product about 10 times. Its super cheap (under $2) and you can find it almost anywhere.
I can say this product really does make your head feel awake because of the tingling sensation. The two things i don't like about it are all the freaking parabens in the ingredients list and that it doesn't come in a larger jar or container (instead of having to purchase it in single uses).
This product is designed for African American hair but I'm pretty sure you could use this if you have a different hair texture (but just use about 1/4 of the packet).
Suave Professionals Rosemary + Mint Invigorating Clean (For All Hair Types).
Its Claims:
- proven to invigorate hair as well as Aveda Rosemary Mint shampoo and conditioner.
- infused with 100% natural rosemary and mint
- gently cleanses and increases manageability for hair that's soft and shiny.
Now this shampoo is pretty decent to me. I was purchasing this thinking it would give my head the tingling feeling i get with the Dr.Miracles deep conditioner but it didn't. To even get a slight hint of tingle you really have to scratch your scalp. It does make my hair feel really clean after just one shampoo. This shampoo does have sulfate in it (for those who care). I dont really like the STRONG smell of rosemary ( I guess i was paying more attention to the mint than the rosemary when i was buying it lol but thats my fault so i wont hold that against Suave). I've never tried the Aveda version of this so i dont know how it compares to it. For being under $3 it is a pretty good shampoo if you arent looking for an invigorating shampoo.
Although I will keep using this bottle of shampoo, I wont repurchase. I will definitely repurchase the deep conditioner.
Have you ever tried tingling hair products? Do you like them?

Healthy Food Can Be Yummy
Who says pizza cant be healthy? Sorry couldn't take a picture of this for you guys but it is good and you feel like you are eating a tasty pizza even though it doesn't have all the bad things of a frozen or fast food pizza. It is about the size of a personal pan pizza.
Ingredients:
Pizza sauce (or tomato sauce) about 1/4 cup - 45 calories
100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Thins - 100 calories per slice
Sliced Turkey Pepperoni - 5 calories per slice ( i use about 4 slices for one pizza) - 20 calories
Cheese - you can use whatever kind of cheese you like. I use soft goat cheese or mozzarella. Goat cheese is about 38 calories for half an ounce.
Total calories is about 208 for this pizza. This is a great lunch or dinner option. For dinner you could have 2 of them and/or a salad and it would be a nice filling portion. I put in the oven for 7 minutes on 350 degrees.
Homemade pizzas are pretty foolproof so you can use your own measurements or ingredients.
Of course it doesn't have all the yummy, fatty, goodness of a pizza hut pizza but it is definitely a healthier option.
Whats your favorite healthy meal?
