Garnier Fructis Shampoo/Conditioner

This is a review on the Garnier Fructis - Fortifying - Triple Nutrition Shampoo/Conditioner

A few weeks ago, I went and applied to receive a free sample of the Garnier Fructis - Fortifying - Triple Nutrition Shampoo/Conditioner.  I just want to share my thoughts on this product after using it. 

After my sample came in, I was excited to give it a try.  Here is how it went:

Positive Side:  When I opened the product, the first thing I tend to do, is I tend to smell what I am using.  I love things that have a pleasant and enticing smell to it. The Garnier Fructis Shampoo has an awesome smell to it that would captivate ones senses.  I love how it left my hair smelling.  It has this citrus/apple smell to it.  I kept finding myself smelling my hair.  

The Downside:  I did not like how it left my hair.  Now, I am not sure if it is the texture and type of hair that I have, but I do not think that would make a difference.  Especially if this is to add Fortifying Nutrition to your hair.  But it did leave my hair feeling like straw.  I was not satisfied with the feeling; it felt as if my hair was stripped away of its natural oil.  

Overall:  This product was not for me.  Now I know that not all shampoos will work for everyone; this one was not the one that worked for my hair type.  However, for those who do use it and love it - you guys are lucky, because I really did love how it smelled and how the scent lingered in my hair.  I would have loved for this to work on my hair, but unfortunately it did not.  For those of you who are willing to try this, I hope you have better luck than I did.  For those of you who did try this and you had the same outcome, please leave a comment and let me know.  

I hope everyone is having an awesome week and Happy Holidays.  Peace :)

Tips # 2 Using Silk Works Serum

About a year and a half ago, a friend of mine Tillie, was staying over at my place.  She had just gotten out of the shower and I seen her apply something into her hair and let me tell you, it smelled pretty darn awesome.  I asked her what she was using and she showed me the bottle.  The product that she was using was Professional - By Nature's Therapy - Silk Works.  Silk Works helps maintain frizzyness and the beauty of this product, is that it adds shine to it as well.  You can apply this product to your hair dry or wet; working your way from roots to tips and it does not take too much either.  All you need is about a quarter to a silver dollar size and apply.  But  want to know the kicker of this product?  What I love even more about Silk Works serum, is that not only can you use this on your hair, but you are able to apply this on your skin as well.  How cool is that; having one product serving a multipurpose use!  I'm loving it!!  So, I have been using the Silk Works Serum since and I have come up with some awesome extended use for this product as well, that has made using this product that much more fun and interesting.  Here are some tips that I would love to share with you on how you can use Silk Works Serum.  

For your hair - add a little Silk Work Serum to the palm of your hand and add conditioner to it as well.  Combine and apply to hair; then rinse.  I love how it leaves my hair after I take a shower.  Especially when my hair dries, it leaves it really shiny.  

Skin - I take a quarter size of the serum and I mix it with a small amount of my favorite body lotion; then I apply.  I love the added scent it leaves and I love how it makes my skin feel soft and silky.  

Feet - After you wash, soak, and dry your feet, take a little bit of Vaseline and a little bit of Silk Works Serum; mix together and apply to your feet.  Afterwards put on some (clean of course) cotton socks.  I adore the feeling it leaves my feet.  

I hope you guys have a wonderful week and Happy Holidays.  As usual, I am not getting paid by Silk Works - I am doing this review and tips of my own, because I am a satisfied with this product.  Plus, I like to look at other reviews before I buy a product as well.  Hope this helps others out.  Peace :).

For all Pillsbury Doughboy Lovers - LOOK WHAT I CAME ACROSS :)

Pillsbury Doughboy is an adorable character and has been a part of our kitchen for 47 years and still going.  The Doughboy is an Icon, that brings a smile to my face.  I remember growing up watching T.V. and suddenly a Pillsbury commercial would come on and there he was, The Pillsbury Doughboy.  I always enjoyed watching commercials of the Doughboy (these are part of my childhood memories that I actually do cherish, as weird as that may sound).

Here is one of their first commercials from 1965

This one is from 1971

And with Christmas Just around the Corner here is one For the Holidays

Speaking of Christmas, if you have a loved one or a friend who collects Pillsbury Doughboy products, I came across these adorable items from Amazon.  My favorite one is The coffee canister.  I plan on getting me one.  

The other day, I was watching different commercials online (ya know to go back into time) and one of them was from Pillsbury Doughboy; well when my son (who is 9 years old and Autistic) saw it he was in awe and exclaimed, "Oh mom, look at that big talking marshmallow."  Put a smile on my face.  I of course explained to him who he was afterwards.    Now, I am creating my sons childhood memories as well by spending family time with him and baking cookies, rolls, and bread from Pillsbury.  What a way to bring the family together :).  I hope that everyone has a wonderful Holiday.  God Bless :).

COVERGIRL Blast Flipstick

Hello Everyone :).  I just wanted to share something with you guys.  This week, I went to Wal-Mart because I needed to buy ink (and well, it seems that every time that I leave Wal-Mart, I always tend to leave with extra things that I did not intend to buy).  Anyways, I went to the cosmetics department and I was browsing around to see what was new and I came across a lipstick that I fell in love with.  I absolutely love it.  It is by Covergirl and it is the Blast Flipstick.  The color that I have is called Flashy (which is like a mauve/wine color).

The way that I applied it, is I used the dark color first and then I applied the light color over it.  This is one way that I tried using it.  The other way that I applied it, was I applied the lighter color to the middle of my lips (both top and bottom) and then the darker color at the corners of my lips (both top and bottom) and then I blended them together.  It gives it a defined look as if you have fuller lips.  I simply love how it works together to create different looks.  If you do not want to apply both, you can either use them by itself as well.  What I love about the Blast Flipstick is how long it last.  When it is off your lips, it gives it this stained look (which later on in the day, instead of reapplying it all I did was add lipgloss or chapstick).  I do plan on getting the other colors in the near future.  (I am not in anyway being payed by Covergirl to do this review.  I am doing this review to express how I feel about the product on my own.  I really enjoyed using the flipstick and wanted to share this with you).  

I'm a BzzAgent

Hello Friends :).

I have always been interested in receiving products that I could test, keep, and write an honest review about the product that I tested;  however, I did not know where to begin.  So, that is when I started to do some research of my own and I found exactly what I was looking for.  Upon my researching the internet for sites that allows for consumers to test products and write reviews about the product that he or she has tested, I walked right into BzzAgent.com (BzzAgent is awesome - I felt like a child in a candy store).  BzzAgent, in short, is a social marketing company where they introduce consumers to new and exciting products that can be tested and shared with families and friends.  When you test a product, you then do a review of the item either through word-of-mouth, facebook, blog, video, etc.  What is even more exciting, is you get to keep the product afterwards.  There is no catch to it, no sign up fees, no credit cards involved - it is totally free, fun, and a safe place to connect and get involved.  I have not received a campaign yet, but once I get a campaign, I will be doing my reviews on here, telling you about it along with my experience.  I have already introduced two of my friends and they were already invited to participate in the Cover Girl Campaign.  I am very excited for them and I can not wait to hear all about it.  I am not, in anyway, getting paid to write this review about BzzAgent.com at all.  I simply wanted to share this with everyone who is interested in the rewarding feeling of becoming an Agent; a BzzAgent, that is :).  

Here is a small introduction video about BzzAgent, explaining what all the Bzz is about.
