Electro Crisis

I am indeed searching for the best quality camera. I know I want and HD camera, however there are so many brands! Hmmm, the brand I was thinking about getting is Cannon. Which one?? Maybe cannon60D or just totally flip the switch to the Nikon brand by the way have really good deals at the moment. I want to continue building my yt channel to have better quality videos and such (fingers crossed). Well, also I'm in a computer crisis! My Toshiba's keyboard has totally shutdown since it had water damage and the power cord doesn't work properly ugh, so my option of choice....breakdown and buy a new one (I'm typing on the "on screen keyboard") which totally sucks! It slows my typing dramatically! Oh! computer angels save me from this agonizing sadness! Although, I must say that I have had this Toshiba since I was a junior in high school ^-^.......so my computer picks were by Sony the Vaio E series laptop with the 8gb memory and such or my other choice was to dig deep and cough up and Apple! So tasty yet expensive! Which features everything that I need and want (macbook pro). Hopefully i can get at least one these items before September arrives.
Here are some pics of my choices



yeaah! These items vary from the websites and stores in terms of prices...until next time!

Review : V05 Shampoo and Conditioner

When I saw these two items on sale for 85c each Kroger I jumped for joy! (not literally). However, the "Moisture Milks" Richer lather, Strawberries & Cream (soy milk protein) caught my attention and I have been using this for quite awhile now BUT it didn't work that well for my hair. i have naturally curly and thick hair. The ingredients that were used were different types of sulfates. (red flag!). My hair was dry and my curls looked matted to my head. This product claims to restore damaged hair and to revitalize dry hair in which the soy milk protein is supposed to do. Also, it's great for color treated hair as well.

.
 The conditioner which is NEW...the repair and protect strengthening conditioner that restores damaged and made with vitamin E and panthenol quite well on my hair. My hair was soft and my curls looked normal. It does have alcohol in it which isn't a great thing, but in addition to the shampoo I would stick with the conditioner rather than shampoo.



Alberto VO5 Moisture Milks Moisturizing Shampoo, Strawberries & Cream


Final Thoughts 
cheap and inexpensive due to the sale
shampoo not so great
condition is descent
fragrances are amazing
do not test on animals
