So if I have not already stated the fact, I am a shoe addict. I LOVE SHOES! Seriously have have way too many pairs and boots are my absolute weakness. My slouchy suede pair is the best ever. I have several pairs of heals and like six different colors of flip flops and four different types of wedges. Its a horrible addiction and you would think that when I got married I would have to give it up but my husband is kinda a shoe addict too, in the way a guy can be. He has so many different pairs of running shoes, granted he is military so that kinda ups his shoe count a bit because of uniform regulations, but anyways as I was saying, instead of telling me I have to get rid of shoes he is buying me a pair. Granted they aren't boots or heels, they are running shoes which I surprisingly enough don't have a good pair of. I was thinking about all the different types of shoes I have and thought about the pros and cons of them so here is what I came up with.
Shape-ups :: According to my husband these shoes are worthless. I don't know if they work or not, I don't feel any muscles working when I wear them and my lower back stings within a half hour of putting them on. Now I think that may be because posture wise they help me stand straighter and I am not use to it and so that is why my back hurts but there is no way for me to be sure. I definitely love mine, don't get me wrong. They are Dr. Scholls brand so they have super comfy gel on my heel.
Running Shoes :: Brooks is the brand my baby is buying me and I am so excited to go pick them up tomorrow. I haven't had a new pair of shoes in a while. These (for the short time I wore them) were super comfy and the woman told me all the benefits that would come with it like less muscle strain and such because they would be supporting my body better. I do remember my ankles hurt a little bit but I was told that would go away the more I wore them.
Converse :: These aren't the best shoes for your body but I absolutely love this brand. Seriously, they are so comfortable! And they come in so many colors and styles. The high tops would have to be my favorite, I have a pair of black high tops that I have owned since freshmen year of high school and they are all beat up but still awesome! I wish I had more money to spend on them because they really are a great shoe.
Heals :: So i have a love hate relationship with heals. The short heals are comfortable but I have two pairs of really high healed shoes that I love but can't wear because of their height. They kill my feet, which saddens me to no end. But I love love love the look of them. They are just so pretty and stylish.
Boots :: Nothing else to say about boots but complete and total love. The end.
Anyways, that's the end of my shoe rant, for now at least I am sure next time I get a new pair of shoes I will also go on another rant. I just love shoes!

Product Review :: Shampoo and Conditioner
So I just bought myself a brand new shampoo and conditioner from a brand that I already love and though I would write about my initial feelings toward the new item. I have only used it once, so I will do an update once I have used the product a couple of more times just in case my initial thoughts and feelings change toward it, or stay the same.
Brand :: John Frieda
Product :: Sheer-Blonde
Review :: Go Blonder Lightening Shampoo :: So this shampoo smelt absolutely amazing, until I started to rinse it off. Then it smelt fairly horrible. Its not an unlivable smell, but I wish it was better. I had to use quite a bit before I felt like it spread well enough through my hair and it didn't really suds all that well. I am the type of person who loves a sudsy shampoo, I just don't feel like its cleaning correctly if it doesn't. This shampoo is suppose to lighten my hair and I have fairly dishwater blonde so we will see if in a couple of weeks it lightens it or not. I do not wash my hair everyday because it is bad to use that much chemical on it. But I try to wash every other day and I always condition.
Review :: Go Blonder Lightening Conditioner :: The conditioner didn't really have a smell at all, and it definitely did not spread. I felt like it clung to the initial place that it touched my scalp and my hands felt weird from it, almost sticky but not. There was no suds in this either and since it did not spread I had to use a good glob in my palm. I let it sit for a couple of minutes and when I rinsed my hair felt smooth, which is nice. I liked the way my hair felt afterwards when it was still wet, although I think some of the strands felt sticky, maybe I didn't rinse well enough. Overall I think its an OK conditioner, not my favorite out of all that I have tried.
Once my hair dried it felt very smooth, which I like. The downside to that is I want to touch my hair a lot and that makes it oily faster. I almost always air dry my hair, it takes forever to blow-dry. But it has been about 24 hours since I used the products and I still like the way my hair feels. Its getting a little oily near the roots, but that may just be me and not the fault of the product. I am hoping that it will lighten my hair that way I don't have to pay for a dye job. Anyways, like I said, the initial smell was amazing, then not so great with the rinsing. And it didn't spread well. I will update after I use the product a couple of more times but as of right now I would have to give it three stars.

A Daily Beauty Regime?
Yes that's right a new schedule for me to follow to keep myself looking as beautiful as I possibly can. I think it should start with a warm cup of lemon tea right after I wake up in the morning, followed by working out, then a shower and my nails really need to be redone, maybe a deep red OPI color. Home manicure and Pedicure for sure, maybe a soak in a nice hot bathtub to loosen the muscles and a good scrubbing of my teeth. Yeah that's all I got for now... I can think of something better I just need time and I can have a little bit of fun using MS Word to print out an amazing and wonderful schedule that will be easy to follow. I read somewhere that it takes doing something for three day straight to from a habit, lets test that theory shall we?
How do I feel about what women do to stay beautiful? Why I am so glad you asked. Tanning on occasion can be beneficial because it releases happy chemicals in the body but the women who look like toast or caramel, yeah you are all tanning way too often and it looks fake on your bleach blonde hair. If its natural, its one thing, but if its intentional its just wrong. I prefer the Chinese standards of white porcelain skin is beautiful. That's not to say if your naturally dark skinned you aren't beautiful, i am talking for me personally. Waxing would be my best friend if I could afford to keep up with it. I hate shaving because I always cut myself. Tattoos and piercings are fine and dandy as long as they are tasteful as well as meaningful. Died hair is fine, I have died my hair about every natural looking color and like my natural on me best, but the red looked good as well. Um, I don't really know what other women do to stay beautiful. I believe that beauty comes from the soul but if you put the extra effort in to taking care of yourself people will appreciate you more and treat you better because that's just how society is, look the part you want to play and that's how people are going to treat you. Lately I have not been looking the part I want to play but I am definitely going to work on fixing that... as soon as I am no longer sick because really when your sick or dealing with death that's the only excuse you have to let yourself go.

The Obsession Begins
Hey,
My name is Tamizan and I am quite obsessed with beauty products and fashion. I could look at clothing for hours and spend days reading beauty tips. OPI Nail Polish is one obsession I am adamant about. I have over thirty different bottles of polish and I am getting more all the time. Boots are my other obsession. I love boots! Well, boots, leather jackets and lingerie. This blog is where I can rant and rave about the products I love or if I find an amazing outfit somewhere put it here and drool over it. Its a blog for my own personal amusement.
