"No-Poo" Hair Cleansing Method Challange!

Hello my fabulously ritzy ladies!!!! :) I have a challenge for all of you! :) here is why I challenge you haha, Okay hahaha I have been using this 'no-poo' method for about 2 years now and the results have been beyond pleasing! :) But allot of people are shocked to know how I wash my hair, sometimes even a bit grossed out!!! :P and just the thought of not using shampoo turns off allot of people when it is actually the best thing you could do for you hair in your entire life haha :P and its not a new method by no means haha I'm positive your grandmother and great-grandmother either used it themselves, or knew someone who did :) so do you dare to accept the challenge? :) here is what you have to do if you accept:

1: throw away your current shampoo and conditioner (or at least put it away where you wont be tempted to use it, but id just toss it haha)

2: buy some Bob's bed mill's baking soda and some Bragg's Organic Apple Cider Vinegar and some distilled water .

3: when you want to wash your hair mix 1 TBSP baking soda + 1 Cup distilled water (this replaces your shampoo) and 1 TBSP Apple Cider Vinegar + 1 Cup distilled water (this is your conditioning rinse) apply baking soda mixture to your hair and gently scratch your scalp for about 1 minute and rinse thoroughly, then apply the Apple Cider Vinegar rinse and work through your hair and focus more on the ends, let that set for about 1-2 minutes, then rinse.

4: Be patient haha!! it can take up to 2 weeks for your hair to fully adjust to the new method , but its worth the wait :)

5: Write a post on your taking part in the challenge and make a link back to this post

6: On your blog document your experience and the results :)

Trust in the power of natural homemade products and my may be surprised! :)
  Good luck everyone!

Give A Flapper A Shotgun........

 

Hello all you ritzy dames!!! well today I got to do something iv been dying to do for a long time..... I GOT TO SHOOT A GUN!!! NOT JUST ONE GUN BUT FOUR!!!! woooohoooo!!!! my brother filmed my first shot with the 12-guage shotgun (that thing has allot of power!!) the other guns I got to shoot besides the 12-guage shotgun were a Ruger 10-22, .357 Magnum Revolver, and a military grade AR-15!!!!! it was the most fun iv had in a while!!! :) oh by-the-way when I say "I hit the center" what I really meant was I hit between the first 2 shots and I was really excited about it lol oh and sorry for flipping the bird (I know, how dainty right!) I was giving the bird to my brother who was filming hahaha! :P

hahaha ladies if you have the opportunity to go to the shooting range and shoot, take it up! Most gun ranges offer free ladies night! It makes you feel sexy and empowered, and remember there is nothing sexier to a fella then a well dressed dame shooting a powerful gun!! even a guy in the lane next to me saw me shoot the shotgun said "well, she's a go-getter!" :) 

Hope you all enjoyed!! :)

Hello everyone! :) as you know yesterday was Cinco De Mayo. I was so delighted to be invited to a BBQ at my boyfriend's mom's ranch!!!! :) I had so much fun seeing all the horses, cows, and my best friend the donkey!!!! We had delicious food cooked over a wood grill, and fresh fruit, veggies, and yummy baked goods :) and then later that evening, I had the delight to go on a trail-ride with my boyfriend Dakota, his mom Shannon, and my little brother A.J.!!! :) its was beautiful to say the least. We started up the hill at sunset  and when we got to the top we got too look up and see the huge full moon, it was breath taking!! I'm so grateful to my boyfriend and his wonderful mother for giving me that lovely experience. :)

Another sweet thing Shannon (my boyfriend mom) did for me was let me pose and take some pictures on her beautiful show horse Johnny Bravo!!! he is so big and beautiful, he really is the most beautiful horse I have ever seen :)

I hope you all enjoyed these pictures and have a lovely Saturday !!! :) 

Oh and by the way I'm not smoking tobacco i would never touch a cigarette unless I'm smacking it out of a friends hand, breaking it in half, or secretly poking holes in it when my friend isn't looking hahaha (I'm a brat)
