Convo’s with Girlfriends…Body Beautiful

So I have friends from all over the US…literally… So in the managment of two days this post fell into place!

Davia “What do you think about getting bleached?”

Bleached?” I asked Kate… Umm well bleaching is fine….

Kate said “I don’t think you get it”..

“Bleached” she got irritated and told me to think about it and we will talk later… (I love my trendy but conservative friends)…

Still confused… My cousin called from Miami and let me know while she was snickering in a room of (too many too happy people)

“Chica guess what I am doing?”…..

“Getting your butt attached to your face or you having something humliating done?”

“I am getting pinked“…

I have very random and crazy fun people in my life…however getting called while someone is getting “Pinked” that takes the cake!!

Getting “Pinked” started in the Adult Industry where you get your “private areas” brought back to the original “pink” color by using the methods of “skin bleaching”

Now this isn’t so new, it’s actually a very requested procedure done in cosmetic spas. There is a huge request to bringing

Alot of women have this done for many various reasons the two I am most aware of is after having kids (due to changes in skin from hormonal changes) and the next reason is….DIVORCE!!!

I know alot of Men who also have had and do get this procedure done regularly…Some are adult entertainers!

People are body concious by nature so if I am asked about it, I have a disscussion about it, I am curious about it….

You Will Find Out About It!

Which if I decided to go back into Nursing…I would want to work in a cosmetic spa…because with my group of friends and there extensive use of cosmetic procedures = $$$$$$

That being said..I myself have not done the “bleaching” in an office ( I wouldn’t waste the dough)

I have found ( Via Amy @Perfumeland.com) sent me an at home as effective safer organic version /solution that can be used not only for “Pinking

              Vanilla Doughnut

This lightning cream can also be used on your Nipples ( They tend to darken post pregnancy, post menopausal,

The area from Navel down to remove the lasting brownish mark that sticks after pregnancy!

Even great for using on those stretch marks on your breast areas, thighs anywhere that you want to SAFELY LIGHTEN..those most private of areas!

It’s like another great beauty secret that those South American Dolls have on hand that of course Perfumeland has in it’s very useful aresnal!

Perfumeland is like this  Hidden Gem, FL Tourist Secret and now with going web-wide these amazing useful products are totally worth sharing!

I am using the Vanilla Doughnut on the very huge and thick scaring on the area above my left breast where I had my feeding tube!

I also have a scars on my neck where my other feeding tube was placed and then fell out!

Scars really all over that have alot to do with weight gain and the gastric bypass surgery and intense weightloss so for me this cream works for natural effective and safe lightnening!

I got rub it into my cousin’s face via the phone that while she’s wasting $$$ to have it done…she coulda just asked me what to get! I sent her a pick of the bottle and she said Ahhhh I get it now “Vanilla Doughnut”

I told her she needed to get onto the site a bottle for her up keep…it’s in my opinion a safer alternative and it’s using natural, organic, ingredients to lighten the skin from the most visable scar to the most private of parts…being safe about skin lightening is something that Men and Women are doing as a popular cosmetic procedure!

I got a hold of Kate and HAD to tell her about the “Pinked” party call and how the joke was on both of them because there isn’t anything in the world that someone could talk to me about.. (Literally)

If it’s trending, popular and $$$ I am already trying to find out as much as I can…and what the safest methods and products are…because that’s just me!

So to get into the know about Vanilla Doughnut head over Perfumeland and find about the amazing best kepts secrets in Florida!

As a blogger and vlog’r who plans on covering so many different areas…In my attempt to be relatable and true to my self…

Am I doing myself, my kiddos, my friends and readers any favors by randomly posting, by running TWO blogs, a (for now) hardly watched
My You Tube Channel My @DaviaGThaHBIC twitter feed, my My Pinterest account, My Instagram Account and everthing else I am abstractly zooming around on the social media universe…

Am I doing what I set out to do?

Are the things I am covering
~Interesting
~Useful
~Worthwile

No I am NOT the best at
~managing my time
~edting photos/videos
~sticking to just one thing, idea or topic
~Staying attached to ALL of myself across social media

But then again…
~I am funny

~Blunt

~Likeable, Heck Loveable!

~In tune with being an out of the box 30 something mom with rockin tattoos, great inqusitive nature, having an amazing advantage of knowing little things about a broad range of stuff..(seriously)

~Should really have my own reality show…oh yes….I really should or maybe just maybe I should have a branding coach or something??

~I have been blessed with meeting some of the most wonderful people anywhere in the US and all over the US, Canada, EU, South America etc…

~I am passionate, driven, curious and want to make sure that whatever life is still ahead of me…that this BIG PERSONALITY in

A Once BIG, BEAUTIFUL, CURVACIOUS, THICK..Now days a 120lbs lighter, a bit more well um. …slowed down a bit, a bit less able to do what I would like to…But That BIG, BEAUTIFUL Personality is still the same and needs to be let out..

How to do that in a way that makes the most impact…that’s what I really wonder?

And few other things too!

But today I wanted to share not what products I am trying, what boxes I am opening, what nail polish etc (My beauty blogger friends have that ALL covered well)
But to share where my mind is at and that I am really thinking about it all!

Happy Tuesday

Help Prove Beauty Bloggers Have Heart!

Hi beauty bloggers..friends..and readers,

This holiday season as we are hitting the sales, the bargans etc..

We get our blog/vlog posts done, products tested, review’d…

Please take some time to look around your stash…and see if you have some unused beauty products!

Why you ask?

There is an opportunity for us as beauty bloggers/ beauty blogger readers..to help those teenagers affected by the hurricane!

Yup I am Serious!

I found out via Indie Lee that there is a wonderful H.S. Teacher in NJ who is collecting any unused beauty products to re-distribute amongst the teenage girls who have lost it all!

Speaking from experience there is nothing like lipgloss & deodorant to make you smile a bit brighter!

Don’t worry if you can send alot or a little! If we each send what we can it will make an impact!

It’s a great way to show that truly beauty starts within and shines outward! 

Don’t send me anything!!! But what you can gather can be sent to this address!

How Not To Brine a Chicken

Being a part of the Smiley 360 Kikkoman Juicy Bird Project allowed me the supreme challange of brining a chicken using things like Kikkoman soy sauce, salt, sugar, water following the recipie listed online…

Then you are supposed to soak it for at least 4 hours! Well we all know my style of blogging (random, real, descriprive etc)

This “juicy bird project”needs NO desciption in the photos say it all!

This is a 6.78 lb chicken “supposed” to be soakin in the gallon of water, Kikkoman, salt, sugar and I used Cavanders Greek seasoning!

“Notice I said supposed to be”

image

Well as you can see I majorly miscalculated and when I placed the chicken to soak….it made a flood of “epic porportions” all over my counter and perfectally mopped floor! My son was laughing…untill he realized had to clean up the mess! 20 min later…

image

Chicken is added to a MUCH bigger pot and left to soak in the Kikkoman, salt, sugar, water, Cavender’s Greek Seasoning! (1 1/2 days)
image

Then instead of baking we (well hubby) put the now heavy, brined bird on the spicket (rinsing it first)

image

400° for about 2 hours created the most moist, juicy, yummy way to shake up Sunday Dinner!

To check out more about the Juicy Bird Project with Smiley 360

To find out about Kikoman on Facebook

Definantly a no pain situation to brine a chicken using soy sauce!

Happy Cooking

How Miss Cayce’s Saves Christmas!

So wondering what in the world is up with this random post?

Or for those of you TX peeps wondering how in the world do I know about TX’s BIGGEST BEST KEPT CHRISTMAS SECRET?

I got people who know people!

!Sike!

The lovely Cristmas Angels at Miss Cayce’s Christmas Store  have so lovingly decided to share their “Recipe” for creating the perfect Christmas Tree!

image

Show Me Decorating “Recipie for Holiday Tree Trimming” is a duo set, that includes a DVD and a hand held step by step guide to creating the perfect Christmas Tree!

image

This DVD literally takes you from bare tree to holy wonder in no time flat! The “chefs”  aka sisters Kathy and Becky…take you on an easy to understand, easy to follow journey on creating a tree that’s gossip worthy!

image

(So pretty aren’t they?)

So while I watch the entire DVD…I am so engrossed it it that I do not even pick up the phone! Why?

Because I OVERTHINK EVERYTHING….meaning Christmas decorating on top of everything else ends up making me frazzled! I never have a plan, a theme, a clue so I end up putting up the tree Thanksgiving Day and by Middle of December I am finally  “content” with how it looks! The amount of stuff I have for the tree is insane!

Having Kathy and Becky working step by step to break down the tree, what extras to add, how to have an even look and using other things like ribbon and florals are AMAZING and helps to give those of us “Overthinkers” a guide to work from and with!

During the DVD they break down the “recipe” into easy to manage parts and include tips, tricks and ideas from their “elves” who work all year long creating miracles!

image

(I even learned how to make a bow using wire ribbon)

Anyone can pull a professional, beautiful tree using the steps…this is literally a fool-proof recipe!

And you can use what you allready have around!

(But the items that the elves show make me want to go to Miss Cayce’s Christmas Store in Midland, Texas to be able to just stand there and soak it all in!)

This is my Christmas miracle…my stress saver to my biggest holiday stressor….The danged old tree!

I got mine (for reviewing over and over again) so go get your’s…mine is on my shelf! It’s not to early to get a jump on the season!

As a Mom I am thinking about Christmas right after Halloween!
Anything that helps me get some sanity back is a blessing..so I cannot keep it to myself!

So from this year on…Miss Cayce’s saved Cristmas and Show Me Decorating can help you to!

(If only they had a show me organizing and show me time managment DVD’s…I’d be set!)

I want to share this with you…

If you are tired of acne, lumps bumps, zits, blemishes, cysts,volcanoes….whatever you want to call those…those little pesky things that appear on your face I have them and alot of them and they KEEP comming back! I have more reasons then I can count..ok for honesty’s sake and truth in sharing…I don’t know why exactly my face keeps calm and then BLOWS up..but these are some of my major factors; ~Hormones ~Stress ~Medications ~Poor Diet ~ I have had WLS (weight loss surgery) to be more exact I have had the Roue-En-Y and then the DS surgery for a “repair” which created more health complications! ~My most favorite factor and really more of a habit I won’t quit…Excessive use, testing, mixing cosmetics and beauty products! Other Break Out Factors Anyone Can Have.. ~Age ~Pregnancy ~Post Baby ~Puberty ~Menopause ~Extreme Climate Exposure ~Family History and many more known and suggested factors! Which means Acne can strike anyone at any time for many reasons! When it does it HAS an effect on your life! I have tried everything literally to the point of going to a DR. for chemical burn (No Good!) My Friends at Beauty Stat teamed up with the Super Smart Team of Doctors, Scientists and Skin Pro’s at Evologie to offer the oppertunity to try the line of Smarter Safer Solutions Desgined For Everyone Suffering From Skin Acne/Congestion Issues!

In less time, products and steps then it takes to apply most “routine” skincare… Now what if they said you can try it and only pay for shipping and handling? (I bet you be a bit interested)…I am gonna be real the total cost is $1.99…That’s it… Costs less then a single tube of chapstick, a cup of coffee…a chance to try real a acne solution..a system designed for THOSE OF US WHO HAVE TRIED IT ALL… I have got mine…(then I got more Thanks BeautyStat) and I am not just reviewing this to fill a blog post….My stuggle is really real and really painful and still goin on!
