Pictures from Oregon 2013

My brother and I running on the sand dunes on the Oregon Coast. This is probably my favorite picture from the trip.

  Last month, I went on a trip with my family to Oregon for a little over a week.. We saw Mount Hood, Crater Lake, and the Oregon coast. We even dipped down into California for a couple hours to see the Redwoods and a small town nearby. All in all, it was a wonderful trip. The scenery was incredible! I thought I would post some of the pictures I took/edited from the trip. I haven't edited any pictures from Crater Lake or Mount Hood yet, but maybe I'll post some later. Enjoy! xoxo

The Redwood Forest. I seriously couldn't believe how incredibly huge the trees were.

In California, there were special decks made for the seals to climb/sleep on. They were sooo cute!

Ocean in Brookings, OR.

Me in Brookings. I loved how it was cool enough to wear leggings and a sweater.

Cape Perpetua. It was soooo super windy this day, but it was beautiful.

Marc Anthony Argon Oil Review

  So, like I said in my previous (and only) post, I would have a 'proper post' soon. I guess I meant soon as in a couple hours later...:). Anyway, I wanted to do a review of a product. So I was looking around my bathroom thinking, "what could I do a review of that I've been using for a while now?" and then I remembered this product. 

Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco Argon Oil Treatment

  This is the Oil of Morocco Argon Oil Treatment by Marc Anthony. I picked up this product back in February from Walgreen's, I believe, because I had seen beauty gurus of YouTube using it, and I thought, "why not give it a try?" Gosh, was that a good decision! I have been absolutely LOVING this product since the first time I tried it. 

  This product is very lightweight, so it won't weigh your hair down. Besides Argon Oil, Keratin, Shea Butter, and Vitamin E, it has olive oil in it, which I have tried multiple times by itself on my hair. It's fantastic for conditioning your hair, and making it shiny. Olive oil makes your hair stronger and healthier in general. 

  I use about 3 pumps of this product (you only need 1-3 pumps, depending on the length of your hair, so this lasts a reeeeally long time!) and just run it through my damp hair, focusing especially on the ends. I wouldn't recommend putting this product directly into the roots of your hair, because it may make your hair look greasy, but if you have a bit of leftover product after putting it on the ends of your hair, it's fine to put it a little closer to your roots, but I don't think it's necessary. I then either blow dry my hair, or just let it dry naturally, and go to bed. This oil treatment makes my hair feel sooooo soft, more silky, and healthier. Another thing I love about this product is that if you don't wash your hair every night, or just want to give your hair a little 'treat', you can apply 2-4 pumps of this to dry hair and leave it overnight! I do this every once in a while, and then just braid my hair and sleep. You don't have to wash it out in the morning, because it just soaks into your hair. And it doesn't leave any residue on your pillow!

  So overall, I would recommend this product to everyone. It has lots of benefits, is fairly cheap (I think I got it for around $7.99), lasts a long time, and smells amazing. I will be re-purchasing this for sure, maybe even in the salon size...:) 

Introduction to Emilicious.

To anyone out there reading this blog, hi, and welcome to my blog. :) My name is Emily.

I've been looking at some beauty-related blogs for a little while now, and decided to try starting my own blog. I'm not quite sure what exactly I will be writing about,  but I'm thinking it will be either about beauty, lifestyle, music-related topics, and fashion. Maybe I'll even include some photography I do. :)

If you haven't clicked on the 'about me' section in my blog, I'll tell you a little about myself and what my blog might be about right now. As you already now, my name is Emily. I decided on the name 'emilicious' for my blog, because when I was younger, my aunt always called me Emilicious instead of Emily, and she has always been one of my favorite relatives. She still calls me that to this day! I also chose this name because I'm not very creative, and I didn't think I'd be able to come up with anything better...haha. I have always enjoyed everything music-related, seeing as I was born into an extremely musical family, but only in the past few years have I gotten into beauty and fashion and photography. Although I'm looking forward to becoming more educated in these topics!

I suppose that's all I have to write right now (write right...I hate using those words together...ha), but I'm sure I will be posting a proper post very very soon. Goodbye for now! xoxo
