Ampro Pro Styl Olive Oil Gel

OK, so if you follow me on YouTube, I mentioned a few times that I LOVE my "Black Gel" aka Ampro Pro Styl Protein Gel..........

Watch this vid http://youtu.be/B7f3ZhTvDGY

SO TODAY, I opened an email from CurlyNikki, with this announcement:

Ok, so I am NOT your typical gel person. AT ALL. I prefer serums if I need some type of anti-frizz. You will never see me use a gel when I wear my hair "down", and that's because gel is usually for some kind of "hold", and since my hair is so fine, the hold I get from using gel ends up looking more of a "crisp". Now, I LOVE my Aloe Vera gel, but from my "snatched" or "slicked down" style, I love my "black gel". I put ALOE VERA gel first, then put the "black gel" to give me a soft slick down look. I feel kinda DUMB for even CONTEMPLATING purchasing this gel because I have a HUGE, barely touched tub of Eco Styler ARGAN OIL gel,

I got this for $2.99 at Sallys

which BTW, I DO NOT like. Its WAY to thick, and the hold is WAY to hard. I understand its a 10 MAX hold, so I did cut Eco Styler a little slack :)

So, in a nutshell, I think I will purchase this Ampro Olive Oil gel, because they claim it is the "most moisturizing styling gel we’ve ever made" and  "our NEW Olive Oil Gel was specially formulated to meet the needs of consumers who wear their hair naturally and is also great for those who desire a hold without the hardness our protein gels provide". If it performs like my aloe-vera-gel-ampro-pro-style protein-gel mixture, then its a keeper!!

PS- other than NaturallyCurly.com, where can I buy this???????

DIY Spiked Studded heels!!!!

Spike Heels are HAWT right now, and I wanted a pair, but without the price tag!! These heels were inspired by Ruthie Davis "Spikette" style, but this demonstration can be used to made additional styles as well (Sam Edelman Lorissa pump is another popular "spike" heel)

AFTER!!

DO's and DON'T(s)

HELPFUL HINTS :)

DON'T use a pair of heels that are super snug, or too small.

If you don't have a steady hand, DON'T use a FULLY CHARGED power drill. Its obviously
powerful, and it can cause your hand to slip. (TRUST ME; I had a huge "scar"on
my heels, that I had to cleverly cover)

DO create a pattern, I recommend putting the shoe on your foot, THEN creating a pattern.
That was you can figure out your foots/toe pressure points

DON'T put spikes and/or studs on your toe "cleavage(s), or toe knuckles, big
toe or pinky toe area. If you have bunions or corns, avoid those areas *Wink*

DO use the moleskin food padding.

I prefer the WALGREENS brand, they are thinner, you get three sheets, and CHEAPER!!!

DO- PICKUP after yourself!! DON'T leave around children and DON'T leave these on the floor. You may step on them, and STAB your foot (from personal experience!!!!)

EXTRA:
If you are using canvas, or a super thin pair of heels/pumps/shoe(s), you may want to check this out.....this device creates holes and grommets. I purchased one for future DIY projects....

I got this at JoAnns Fabrics, but I've seen them at MICHAELS Craft store

What I wore in this video-

SPIKE stretch bracelet in Gunmetal and Black I purchased from random NYC street vendors, however you can purchase them at various online boutiques.
