New Wish list


This is the first posting of ChristinaJackDesigns Wish list
Beauties there is a million reasons why a girl needs a Wish list. Today my wish list is created because I promised I would cut back on the shopping to myself. LOL Well at least until after I'm done school shopping for the kids And 2. Some things I cannot find in my size.

My first item today are these Monroe strap up booties from Shoe Dazzle. OMG this says “Hello Fall I will be styling in this new weather” Its 39.95  but I'm not going to order them just yet. These can be ordered at www.shoedazzle.com

Last item for today also comes from www.shoedazzle.com are these beautiful stud wedges. OMG I am in love with these, I can think of a hundred outfits already.

Organization #1


This is my first post for Organization DIY style. I know you ladies are just like me and you have beaucoux amounts of Makeup, Jewelry, Clothes, Shoes, Polish, etc… Well here is my first post (Jewelry Edition)

I recently purchased a jewelry rack from BrylaneHome.com It is a life saver with millions of holes and hooks and racks. It cost 79.99 regularly I think the sale is for 59.99 and I had a 20% off coupon so I got it for $48.00 a little pricey but definitely worth it. You can mount it on the wall or on a door hook all included in the package.
Previously I had a jewelry box that sat on top of my vanity and I had to use one of my vanity drawers for all of my jewelry. This rack really saves me a lot of space and I have an extra drawer for makeup. It is a lifesaver I don’t have to worry about knocking the jewelry box over or I cant find the match to my earrings because everything is organized all in one rather big rack.

photo 1 (4)photo 2 (4)Here is someone else rack I found on Google, this thing can hold a bunch of stuff. 

Thankyou for tuning in to my first Organization Post, check back for more…

Out W/the Old vs. In W/the NEW!!! (Body Jewelry Edition)

Out W/the Old ~ In W/the NEW!!!! 
(Body Jewelry Edition)


Hi Beauties, I really just want to acknowledge the fact that the world of fashion and Body Jewelry is changing dramatically. I love the piercings and everything but now~days people are saying Out with the Body Piercings and In with the Dramatic Body Chains. Look at my view and notes on some of the new accessories we have to jazz up out outfits.


imagesCAB3P6JQVS.imagesCAR2OJHY
I absolutely love this Pony-Chain it would add an elegant look to any plain outfit
VS.                                                         
The eyebrow ring, I’ve never really been a fan of it but it is actually cute on some people.

imagesCA8H86PZVS. imagesCAK8F8WU
Im  loving the new head pieces they also add a bit of elegance to any outfit especially the BOHO look
VS.                                                     
I  tried getting a tongue ring and took it out the next day, couldn’t take the pain and I couldn’t eat. I think this is the most judged piercing that is visible.

imagesCAD9IYSEVS.imagesCAPLCT9H
Once again another piece that will make a shirt or dress look like a million$ I love it cant wait to get my hands on one
VS.                                             
I  have one but I wear it very small to imitate a mole or just something cute, not too big

imagesCAOTRG4YVS.imagesCAO29Q1H
This Body chain turns this plain dress into a vintage bombshell.
VS.                                                                     
This belly ring is cute in a bikini but what will it do for an evening dress

imagesCAPRZBV7VS.imagesCAAFK9AQ
I would love this thigh chain in the winter time with my calve high boots. It says “peek a boo” but this is as far as your gonna get. LOL
VS.                                                                                   
The things we don’t speak of that are pierced. They need no comment

Like I said I love some of the body piercings but I think the new Body Jewelry Chains might knock them out of the park.

Kim K inspired Head Pieces

My HeadPiece Experiment



Hi Beauties in my opinion my accessories are the key ingredients to my outfit. So for my cousins B Day gift I wanted to surprise her and make her my perfect little experiment to make head jewelry on.

  So after doing her hair one day I secretly measured her head by taking a piece of string measuring all the way around her head and they tying a knot. Then I measured her head from front to back then tyed a knot. I went to my local craft store Michaels and purchased a measuring tape for $1.00 and I purchased chain for $3.99 and braided material for $1.99. The head pieces came out very pretty on my manican(please excuse her bad hair dayLOL.)

Beach Day "Salt Water Benefits"

Hellllo Lovelies!!!!

Beach day can be so fun in the sun for you and your family but did you know that it can actually be healthy for you. Not to mention we have to look "BeAch CuTe"!!!!
Over my bathing suit I had a strapless summer dress from Rainbow Fashions for $10.00
My White Flip Flops were also from Rainbow Fashions for $10.00
I got my white hat from a local boutique call "Bougie Fashions"
Light and cute for a perfect day at the beach.





Black Vintage Bathing Suit
from Amazon.com for $27.00











Now Lets talk about Salt Water Benefits to your body just by swimming.

1. Beautiful Skin

Swimming in salt water is cleansing to the skin. Salt water will leave the feeling smooth and supple as it increases moisture retention. It rejuvenates the skin by detoxifying it and promotes cellular regeneration. Your skin is the largest organ in your body and when it feels renewed, your whole body automatically feels revitalized and healthy.
If you have dry and itchy skin, swimming in salt water may benefit you a great deal because it will keep it hydrated and stop it from becoming irritated. Studies show that salt water helps in treating skin disorders like eczema, psoriasis and acne. It will not treat such skin disorders overnight, but swimming regularly in salt water will gradually improve the appearance and condition of the disorders.

2. Stress Relief

Salt Water reduces the inflammation of joints and muscles, leaving your body feeling relaxed and stress-free. It is a fact that stress is the number one contributor to aging, so swimming in salt water is the best anti-aging therapy.

3. Health Benefits

 When you swim in salt water, it stimulates your blood circulation which is great for your health. Swimming in salt water is a good beauty regime to engage in.

Sunlight
Sunlight is very beneficial to our health but the prime benefit of sunlight is that it supplies the body with Vitamin D.
Enjoy your Beach Day Beauties, My family and I did!!!!

Oil Control with Phillips Milk of Magnesia

Okay Beauties I am another Milk of Magnesia statistic. I have extremely oily skin, all over my face including my cheeks. I've used several primers, and oil control foundations and powders but after 4 hours all of them end with the same result, me looking like a "grease monkey".


I did a little research on YouTube and everyone says Phillips Milk of Magnesia actually will help keep the oil under control.After moisturizing apply a thin laying being sure to rub, rub, rub it in until it dries clear, then apply your foundation or go through your   regular routine.

10lbs lost ~Watermelon

Hi, Beauties

Today I want to share with you how I lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks eating watermelons. It is now watermelon season and I love to eat watermelons because they are sweet and they fill me up.

Watermelon is said to have the most nutrition per calorie of common foods. They are actually the most clean of non organic fruits and vegetables.

Curls Unleashed by,Organic Root Stimulator

I decided to do a review on Curls Uleashed by Organic Root Stimularo, one of the products I've been wanting to try for a while now. While at the Mr.Chew Multicultural Hair Affair I received 5 samples of the products in a line of 7.

My 4 year old is the perfect model for this line, she has never had any processing or chemicals on her hair. This line is to suit the natural hair beauties with curly, wavy, kinky or coily hair types.
