When it comes to my hair, I always try to take care of of my hair. I may have went thought a freak accident back in 2010, but that not something I would like to talk about. Well, anyways, when trying to find the best product for my hair in the spring and summer it was always hard, because I learn that you should always switch out your products during spring, summer, fall and winter, Like with me for example, I use Whole Blends, by Garnier, the honey one, for damage hair, should be use in the Spring and Summer and also the Moisture by Garnier, because sometimes during the spring and summer, I get too much Moisture in my hair, that I hate.
One thing that I love about Garnier, is that when my hair is not being itself, I turn to them, because we all want our hair on point. I don't like when my hair starts feeling hard and brittle. So when it starts feeling like that I turn to the one shampoo that makes it feel all better and that it Garnier Whole Blends Honey Treasures. I love it how it makes my hair once I use it. For thing that it true, after 30 days or more, you start feeling the different in your hair. I can't really describe it, you can feel it. The day before you use it, feel your hair. The day that you use it, feel your hair again, then after 30 days feel your hair even more. If you want to you can always keep a journal for your hair and you can always tell people that it works. Furthermore, you should always keep a journal of all the hair products that you use, so that way you know what products are good for your hair and which ones are not. When you do this, you will always know which products you like and the ones you don't. Because your hair should be a priority not just a dump ground for products that you think would be good for your hair, when they are not. What hair products do you like or dislike, please share in the comments below. xoxo Alexis

When it comes to our Accessories, what one thing that comes to mind. I know one thing that comes to mine is layering necklaces, I remember when this was a trend, and now I don't really see it anymore, the question is why? But when I do see it, I see necklaces being attached to each other, but what about the different in each necklaces. I like to see the different in layering, and not see the same thing, like when I do see layering necklaces, I see like coins, short, medium and long chains being attached to each other, but I don't see the different. When I decided to write this post, I didn't know what way to take it, because I didn't want to shame anyone or anything, because I do like layering necklaces, I wish I could see more of it.
Layering necklaces are something that should be making a comeback, should be making a statement, instead of having whole bunch of necklaces being a attached with each other and also it might be easier for to wear them, because they are attached. But I don't like it, because I like to be different. I think I wear like 6 necklaces but sometimes less and sometimes more. But anyways, when wearing layering necklaces, make sure it all you, and not something that another store has made, or if you want to you can always make one yourself or you can even join the Layering Team. But you do, make it your own, by wearing some of your favorite necklaces. I know I do. I wear all of them, but not really, I like to try and space them out. I am going to ask who still layers their necklaces, not the store bought kind, individual kind, the single kind that you can match up with anything and it still make it you. I remember back in High School, I always wore, not one, not two but three or more necklaces at a time, but then again that was me, and no I don't have any photos of that time, since all my photos are pretty much pack away. So if you are part of the layering necklace team, please share some of your stories of what your friends thought of you, I know my friends thought I was strange, but it fine. still wear them loud and proud and never going to change. If you wear layering necklaces, please comments below of what your stories were and send some photos so, I can see them and maybe share them on intagram, if you were like. xoxo Alexis I am just checking on how does everyone like the blog so far.

If you would like to know anything or like to see anything on the blog, please comment below. xoxo Alexis I have been getting the same questions over and over again on where I got my blog name from. I decided to make it a blog post, and it going to be a very interesting one. Well, I got my blog name from a perfume bottle which is called, Captivate, because I love the name so much and plus it meant something to me, I have not told the story about how I was bully during my years in middle school and high school by my friends. But anyway, all my life I have been called fat, I wasn't pretty enough and I was not popular at all, and I even dated guys that also bully me, but anyway, when I was getting ready to do my blog again, I needed a name then I decided to use my name, which was Marie Style's, but I thought that name was too formal and to not me, then after a few years down the road of using Marie Style's, I wanted to change my blog name to something that meant something and meant something that everyone can see it and know that someone is with them and been in the same boat as them.
The day that I use my perfume, was the day that I decided to use the name Captivate. It was a replica of a Victoria Secret perfume, one that got me to notice the perfume was the theme it is pink with black lace, which I was totally in love and then I decided to buy it and I was instantly in love with the smell. I have never been in love with a perfume the way that I was in love with Captivate. Then the name called to me, Captivate Style's and even the slogan came about, Captivate the Skin your in. Never doubt yourself. So now everyone knows where the name is from. This name means everything to me, and I hope that it can mean to other people. When someone called you a name, or something to you that is really cruel, just captivate it and turn it into something positive. I know I did. So if you feel like you are losing yourself, just remember why you started in the first place. When I was losing myself, I just look at my blog and wonder why I started it in the first place, Because I love writing and I love fashion. With that being said, what are you in love with.? Now that you know where Captivate Style's is from. What would you like to see on this month blog. Please share in the comment below. xoxo Alexis |
