Beauty And Boujee With Landry

I’m Back

    First let me just start by saying that, I’m so happy to be back blogging. I’ve missed it terribly. I took a break because I got so busy with School last year and between homework and other obligations, I just didn’t have the time I wanted or needed to dedicate to my blog but, here I am and ready to jump back in. Todays post is going to be a little different then my normal content But, I wanted to do something a little different.

Crazy Times

   Well, I must say these last six months have been some of the craziest times I’ve ever experienced in my lifetime thus far, as I’m sure it’s been for most of you. Who would have ever thought that We would have a pandemic here in the U.S. let alone, almost the entire World? With that being said, More time at home has given me the opportunity to do a lot of reading and researching of many different things that I probably would have never had the time or made time to do So, I’m excited to share one of the many things I knew nothing about but, have since incorporated into my everyday life. I’m not going to get into it too deeply because, There is so much to know and learn and can be quite overwhelming But, I just want to share a little bit of my new spiritual journey and maybe it can help you turn your life around, Just as it has mine.

Law of Attraction

    The Law of Attraction is the belief that positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative experiences into a person’s life.To simply put it, The Law of Attraction is the ability to attract into our lives whatever we are focusing on. If you think it then you will attract it So, for example, If you are thinking about why do I keep getting bad grades in school when I study so hard? Well, because the Law of the universe only knows what you put out, Whether it’s good or bad So, you will keep attracting bad grades But, If you start saying I’m going to get a good grade on that test tomorrow and fully believe that you already have that good grade, Then you will get that good grade. Remember these three little words, “Thoughts become things”  Say it over and over. Everything you have ever thought has brought you to where you are now. So, If you want to create more good, More abundance in your life, Then start visualizing what it is that you want, Then think about it all the time and believe that it’s already yours. Belief is the real key to manifesting your desires. Without belief it will not work for you, Simple as that.

 

Manifesting

To manifest something is to bring something forth into your physical life experience by using your thoughts, feelings, or beliefs. Manifesting is intentionally creating what you want. Everyone has the ability to manifest anything they desire like Wealth, Health, Love, Houses, Cars, Peace of mind and so on. Whatever you think about you ae manifesting into your life. As I mentioned before, If you constantly think about what you don’t want to happen, That’s exactly what will manifest. Of course not every single thought you have is going to manifest, It’s the things you focus and think about the most often. you have to get rid of any and all resistance in order for you desires to manifest So, once you eliminate resistance, your desires will manifest faster and easier, Sometimes almost instantly and sometimes longer. I highly suggest creating a vision board of what you want. you must always visualize exactly what it is that you want So, be very specific. for example if you want a new car, visualize the exact color, model, interior etc. of that car and put it on your vision board so that you see it everyday. I created my vision board and made it my wallpaper on my phone so that way I see it and think about it every single day. One last thing (I could talk about this all day but, I’m keeping it short and to the point) Is Gratitude, Remember to be grateful for everything you receive in life. When you practice gratitude on a daily basis you are literally infusing your thoughts and feelings with a positive vibrating energy out into the universe which helps to manifest more of your desires in life. make sure you’re truly doing it with a grateful heart and not just because you “have” to. I mean think of all the things in our life that we already have to be grateful for. I’m attaching a book called “The Secret”  it’s a good book to start with to really give you the tools you need. you can also watch The Secret on Netflix.

Several weeks ago I was gifted with one of R+CO’s Hair care lines. I wanted to try it out for a bit before giving an honest review. I was sent the Television Perfect Hair Shampoo and Conditioner and I must say I was pleasantly surprised at how much Body and Shine my hair had, not to mention after my blow out, my hair was so soft and smooth which Was a key point for me, My hair tends to be a little more dry lately with the weather and also from processing, which brings me to the next product which is their High Dive Moisture + Shine Creme that’s perfect for hydrating your dry dull hair. I use it once a week on damp hair before blow drying. The last product in my box was the Death Valley Dry Shampoo. I love a good dry shampoo in between washes to give a little extra shine and volume. I generally wash my hair twice a week, more if need be but, this combination works great together so, I can usually get away with twice a week. Another great thing I love about R+Co is they have a HUGE line of products for every single hair type so, you can definitely find something that works best for your hair type. All products are sulfate free, which is always best for your hair as well as Paraben, Petroleum, mineral oil, cruelty, uva, vegan and gluten free so, no need to worry about any harmful toxins and their products smell AMAZING! Which I’m always a sucker for.

You can click the link attatched to check out their products to order online and their also sold any Many beauty stores and salons.

As the Weather starts to change and We transition from Summer to Fall, So does our Makeup. Cooler Weather brings warmer tones so, I’ll share some of my favorites with you that I’ve just recently purchased. A few I already had and the rest, I’ve been wanting to try and I must say, They have not disappointed. It’s always fun to play around with all the different color combos to see what looks the best and although I don’t normally wear a lot of makeup, unless it’s for a job or an event that I’m going to, then I’ll just try and keep it somewhat natural for everyday wear BUT, I do love makeup and love shopping for it. 💗

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve done a blog post. End of summer had me pretty busy but, I wanted to share a couple of my new favorite must haves. I work with a lot of Companies and therefore I get a ton of products. I only work and advertise for Companies that I honestly like and use or will use So, I thought I would start sharing them on my blog (not all at once of course) and I’ll link them for you As well.

Skylar Perfumes

I recently discovered the brand Skylar, I saw other bloggers talking So, of course I had to see what all the hype was about, since now they’ve peeked my curiosity. Skylar sent me one of their Roller Balls in the scent “Isle” It has fragrant notes of Bergamot, Sandalwood and Cardamon. It has a light clean beachy scent and smells Heavenly. I love the fact that they are Vegan and Cruelty free and also free of Parabens and other harmful chemicals, making them non toxic. Skylar offers a monthly scent club so you can try all of the latest scents each month but, of course you can Purchase without doing the monthly scent club as well. Another cool thing about this company is, If you’re not sure which scent to choose, You can take their scent quiz and see what you come up with. Let me know if you guys try them and what you think.

Navy Hair Care

Navy Hair Care is another new favorite. I’m really loving their Style Navigator which is a prep and finish spray. You can use it on wet or dry hair and can be used several different ways. It’s a great heat protectant and I like to use it on my hair while it’s damp, before blowing my hair out. (It definitely prolongs your blow outs) It leaves my hair feeling silky with a lot of shine and zero product build up. If I’m going to curl or straighten my hair, I’ll go ahead and spray a light mist all over my dry hair before styling. It too is free of Parabens (linked to cancer) Sulfates, Mineral oils and other harmful ingredients.

There is Definitely Love in the Hair here!

I recently decided I was bored with my darker and somewhat natural hair color and decided that I wanted to go lighter for the summer. This isn’t my first go round with lighter hair So, I reached out to Ali who has been doing my hair for a while now and whom I love dearly however, she’s been pretty busy and she’s kind of far but, she is Amazing with Balayage coloring and Hair Extensions and those of you in the Los Angeles area may like to give her a try. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Attached is her Instagram link so go check her out.

https://instagram.com/alis.hairspace?igshid=1c9ckhsnrmsmg

Since Ali was busy at that particular time,( Good Stylist always are) I decide that I’d like to try and find someone just a little closer to my home which brought me to Jeanna Ascencio who is the owner of Salon 9 in my little town of Orange California. I reached out to Jeanna and we decided to do a Collaboration together. I had high expectations, which I think most of us often do when it comes to our hair and sometimes they can be a bit Unrealistic as everyone’s hair is different and has to be treated as such.

Jeanna met with me before hand and we discussed what I wanted to Achieve. She explained to me that it may take a few visits to accomplish that and I was satisfied with her Explanation. Two weeks later I showed up for my appointment and Jeanna worked her magic alongside her assistant to give me the balayage look I wanted. I honestly was so impressed that she Accomplished it on one visit and was beyond excited. I went back a couple of weeks ago to Reapply a toner to keep it looking fresh and glossy. Needles to say I’m happy to have found Jeanna and will be seeing her again soon. So I highly recommend anyone looking for a new stylist to give her call. She books fast but, she is taking new clients. I’ve been getting so many compliments on my hair and who did it so, I just wanted to share. Please feel free to comment or ask questions below in the comment box if there’s anything you’d like to know, even if it’s not about hair. 💗 Also, Attached is Jeanna’s info.

As the heat and humidity of summer approaches it can Wreak Havoc on your skin and Hair and that’s why I thought I would share some of my favorite Summer beauty must haves with you.

As summer rolls around I seem to switch up my makeup, skin and hair care routine and With that being said, These are some of the best products on the market and most of these have been reviewed by Allure beauty.

Keeping my skin moisturized is key during the summer, As I love spending time at the beach or by a pool and nothing drives me crazy more then dry skin. The Sol de Janeiro coco cabana cream is a definite fave as is Herbivore rose water moisture cream and it smells delicious and I’ve just discovered this new sunscreen called Supergoop and it works really well. I always (most of the time 😉) use a 30 SPF on my body and 50 SPF on my face and to keep my face from getting too dry, I love Vitamin C and Sunday Riley has a great line from their C. E. O. Collection

Just like our skin and face, Our hair gets dry and damaged from the heat and sun as well, I love Kevin Murphy products and the Hydrate Me line is a must for your hair. The shampoo and conditioner leaves your hair feeling silky and smelling fresh, although his products are a bit pricey, They’re worth every penny. I always use some sort of anti frizz product too because the humidity is not my friend when it comes to my hair, I recently purchased the Caviar anti frizz blowout butter and apply while wet, just before blow drying.

Memorial Day Weekend is one of the absolute best times to get some of the best sales of the year but, it can also be one of the craziest and busiest times to shop and seriously, who doesn’t love a good sale. With that being said, As much as I love going to the Mall (I literally was just there today) I find myself shopping more and more online. I love the convenience of shopping from the comfort of my bed.

I recently was invited to join into RewardStyle/ LIKEtoKNOW.it. If you’re not familiar with this, It’s a shoppable app. Basically a large platform that many Fashion bloggers, Beauty bloggers, Influencers, and such use to share with their followers, Like the latest trends of the season for Fashion or maybe it’s their favorite beauty and skincare products or even home decor and all the latest and greatest sales going on.

How it works is, you download the LIKEtoKNOW.it app. Then start following people who share similar interest and styles like yourself. Maybe you follow someone on Instagram who is on this platform, And now you can follow them here to shop their look. Once you are following along and you see something you like, All you have to do is click the photo of the product and it will take you directly to that product on the Retailers website, where you can purchase it. If you see something posted to Instagram with the LIKEtoKNOW.it hashtag or link, You can also take a screenshot of it and it will be sent directly to your email so you can shop that product later when you have time to fully view it, for example maybe you’re scrolling through the app and see several things you’d possibly like to buy but don’t know if you want to order or not but, you also don’t want to forget where you saw it, Then just take a screenshot of each one and then you know it’s in your email when you’re ready to shop. You can also click The link below to shop my styles and follow along.

https://www.liketoknow.it/landrykirk04

When I joined this platform, I had no idea if people would even be interested in what I posted, let alone shop my looks but, I’ve been blown away at the response I’ve had and seeing just how much people love to shop as much as I do has been pretty cool so, Thank you for always supporting me in all of my ventures. Now get to shopping those sales so you don’t miss out!
