Custom Made by Eshakti

Hello, there my Lovelies!  I can hardly believe that we are already through our first week of June and I now have another high school graduate! My son who is my baby graduated last weekend and this mama has been a little emotional.  As proud as I am of him there is part of me is sad because I feel like I am now moving into another stage of my life.  Do you ever feel that way?  My kids are taking my place and I am now my parents it's so weird but hopefully, with age, I will continue to gain more wisdom.

                           This is a sponsored post but the opinions are all mine. 

Well, let me get off my emotional soapbox and talk about all things fashion. Have you ever thought to "I love this dress but I wish the sleeves were different or it was a little longer?  Well, the great thing about this dress from Eshakti is that I was able to customize this dress however I wanted. I could make sleeveless, change the neckline or even remove pockets. How cool is that you can be your own little fashion designer?

I am such a sucker for classic things with some modern flair and that is the way that I would describe this lovely dress. The dramatic sleeves had me at hello giving this classic vibe dress something a little bit extra. 

The great thing about Eshakti is that I was able to change the length of this dress and remove the pockets and if I wasn't feeling the sleeves I had the option of changing those also. I mean kind of like Burger King " I can have it my way"

   I decided to add pops of red to this look which I really felt that it gave the extra life it needed. Luckily these were sandals that I had in the closet from last year and I still love them just as much as I did last year. 

With me being a pear-shaped girl sometimes finding things to fit me on the top and bottom can be challenging but at Eshakti you can enter your measurements and get the fit that you require. Let me say this fashionista is all for this and it sure makes life easier. 

As many of you know, I am a dress girl and when I find an amazing dress that fits my body well then I am a happy girl!  

Unfortunately, I am not able to locate this exact dress but I have linked some similar options and some of my other favorites below.  

Well, my friends thank you so much for taking time out of your day to drop by!  It's always a pleasure

 As you know I am always in search of fashion and beauty items that I love that don't break the bank! So when I was approached to try out the Suave Professionals for Natural Hair Collection from Family Dollar I was very intrigued. I mean I grew up using Suave products because they were inexpensive and worked well.  Family Dollar has the same high-quality personal care and beauty brands you know and love, but for a great value. 

As a Curly girl, I am always in search of new products that are effective on this big hair and that are is not going to cost me a fortune.  Family Dollar has the same high-quality personal care and beauty brands you know and love, but for a great value. You can now save even more shopping at Family Dollar by using Family Dollar Smart Coupons.(here)

What is so appealing to this line is that is co-created with other Natural Women like myself with no No parabens, no dyes and is color safe. These are products specifically made for natural hair and natural hair approved.

                     I will give you a breakdown of each of the products that were provided for me.

• Suave Pro Natural Sulfate-Free Cleansing Shampoo  - is a gentle shampoo that did not strip the moisture out of my hair.
• Suave Pro Naturals Moisturizing Curl Condition - This condition had just right amount of slip so it made it easy to comb through when in shower.
• Suave Pro Naturals Nourish & Strengthen Leave-in Conditioner- I love a good leave it that is not too heavy and allows my curls to stay bouncy but still moist.
• Suave Pro Naturals Curl Defining Cream- for me and so many Naturals definition is one of our main concerns. I was very impressed with the definition this gave me without using gel.
• Suave Pro Detangler Spray - refreshing my hair is very important because those curls need to be awakened. I use this between washers and I was very happy with the results

Since trying out these products I can gladly say they have been on regular rotation in my curly routine. I am very pleased with the moisture and definition that this line is giving me but more than happy with how affordable it is!  You guys know I am all about that life. 

As I said early it's a natural family over this way so when my sons trust these products for his prom than you know they must be on to something.  This makes Mom happy because at these prices I can buy him his own! LOL
