Do You Buy Shampoo Just For The Scent?

I am drawn to shampoos for several different reasons. Sometimes it really is the scent! I went to Target and browsed around in the hair section (son kept asking,"Are you done yet??") for quite a while as I needed something new. Finally I saw this shampoo and it was the scent that caught my eye … [Read more...]

Red Wine…It’s Not Just For Drinking

After a long day at work, I enjoy coming home and relaxing with a glass of wine at dinner. But, I never thought to treat the outside of my body with red wine too. That is until I came across a Red Wine Body Scrub by Abrione. The Red Wine Scrub contains anti-oxidants from red wine … [Read more...]

Hairspray

In my lifetime, I have had a very love-hate relationship with hairspray. Sometimes it is sticky. Sometimes it is crunchy. Sometimes it makes my flat hair flatter. And so on and so forth. I have tried many brands. Pantene. Tresemme. Herbal Essences. Aveda. They were all okay. They all … [Read more...]

Kicking myself for not reading the handbook before now

As a mom with straight hair I was at a loss when my daughter's locks started to take on their current shape. By the time she was 2 1/2 years old we were both so frustrated with her curly hair that I considered shaving it all off.

Well, I just knew I had to share! 1) Major Liner. Ugh, I'm not a fan of this … [Read more...]

Cuz Goats Have Good Skin Right?

In the winter my skin gets crazy, weird dry. I've tried extra-strength everything but either end up as greasy as a greased pig or it was so thick that half an hour later my clothes would stick to me. Then I came across what we affectionately call in our house the 'goat cream': Its Canus … [Read more...]

Change Your Hairstyle And Color In Minutes…Virtually

I tried a completely new look - different hairstyle and different color - in just minutes! And it wasn't even permanent. How? I tried out a virtual makeover. I've seen them around, but never checked them out. I always thought they looked a little goofy. They still aren't perfect, but … [Read more...]

Hair! Glorious Hair!

Y'all know I'm always on the lookout for a hair product that will work miracles with my dulling, thinning hair. Between my hair and skin, I tell ya, 36 is beating me. In fact, my next step is to try a hair coloring/glossing treatment. I'll let you know how that goes. In the meantime, I was … [Read more...]

EverPure Color Care System

I used to be able to make the prideful claim that my hair had never been touched with a chemical. Well, except for that one bad perm but I really do try to forget about that. Naturally wavy hair and a spiral perm do not make for good friends. What I meant was that my dark shiny hair was my … [Read more...]
