A Cita Life

Friday, I logged on to Facebook to see a post stating that Shea Moisture was looking for a Sheabassador for 2017. All you had to do was create a 30 second video on why you love Shea Moisture products and why you should be the new ambassador. There was one weekend to submit. It wasn't a paid position but you get Shea Moisture product to try and review I had nothing to lose so I entered. Fingers crossed I win! I added the video for your viewing pleasure! Enjoy! Until next time loves!

Today I saw a video circulating on Facebook talking about stay at home moms. It was fascinating to hear that their net worth is $140,000 a year and we don't even get paid for it! All the jobs that stay at home moms do is basically for free but if it was outsourced that would be the going rate. It's crazy to think but at the end of the day like always we are doing what's best for our family. Another stat that was nice to hear was that 60% believe that having a parent at home is best for their child and/or children. Which, I believe is great in a world of go go go, long hours, and most of your time is dedicated to a job leaving little time for family life. My husband and I had a conversation stating that the value on family is lost. By staying at home it does just that by putting the focus on where it needs to be... family. Even if you cannot afford it it's always nice to have a family member you trust to watch your children. Parent is always best but a family member is...

On my recent trip to Hawaii I was perusing down the aisle at a local grocery store and they had travel size products. Amongst the products was Burt’s Bees Intense Hydration Cream Cleanser. I've seen it the stores at home but never in a sample size. I already use Burt’s Bees products so of course it's a no brainer to try. I am currently using Burt's Bees Soap Bark & Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream, Burt's Bees Peach & Willow Bark Deep Pore Scrub, and Burt's Bees Sensitive Daily Moisturizing Cream. I have combination skin so finding a product that's not going to add too much oil or over dry my skin can sometimes be a task. I tried the Cleanser for the first time and knew instantly I had to do a review and tell you about this product. It's a lightweight Cleanser that smells delicious and didn't dry my skin. It left my skin refreshed, smelling good, and soft. I believe this might be a product that I am going to add to my routine. Especially, ...

I am super excited that I have a couple of hauls to do! They are tiny hauls but I'm doing them nonetheless! I'm just happy that I get to do them. My first haul is from Ulta I got OPI’s Breakfast at Tiffany's collection Infinite Shine in I Believe in Manicures. It is like their answer to the Tiffany Blue we all know and love! I also purchased Nyx’s Intense Butter Gloss in Black Cherry Tart. It's a deep dark purple with a high glossy shine. My second haul is from Nyx Cosmetics. I did an order online from them directly. I decided to do the order because of this lip color I saw that I really liked and it was on sale. It was Xtreme Lip Creme in Pinky Nude. I also purchased the Soft Matte Lip Color in Sydney, Copenhagen, Transylvania and a Lip Lingerie in Embellishment. I was super excited when my stuff came in then sadly disappointed that my pinky nude wasn't there. I found out that that color was being discontinued and it wasn't in stock at the time I place...

Today was the day that I took my first yoga class in six months. I was filled with a lot of emotions. For one I was nervous as hell! How was my body going to react to no practice in six months, would I pick up on all the moves, a lot of silly stuff that was in my head. Which probably didn't help with me trying to rush to a class that I was clearly not going to make. So, I called the studio had them push the class back. I believe that everything happens for a reason and it was shown to me clearly as I was on my way to class. An accident with traffic backup for miles which I would have been caught in had I made it to the earlier class. That would have undone all the work that I put in to be wasted in traffic. I make it to class in plenty of to get settled in as I waited on the class to get started I noticed the nervous energy that I had waiting for the class to start. Needless to say that once the class started the nervous energy was gone. I am so glad that I went to class today. I...
