My April Fun Finds

I guess I could call myself a product junkie.  Finding something that works for me is always a plus, and when it really works, I like to share the news with all.  Why not, maybe my findings can be of some help to you.  No, they won't change your world, but they may make you smile a bit.  So here are a few items I have come across this month and adored!

Shea Moisture-  This is a wonderful company that offers all natural and organic skin and hair products.  I have shopped the line at Walgreens for haircare products and Target for body.  Consider Shea Moisture Organic Cocunut And Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie.  It works well on natural hair giving the hair a sheen and pleasant smell.

For the body, I love their organic bar soap.  The cost of one bar is $4.99 but they are giant 8 oz. which is equivalent to about two bars of soap. They make my skin feel like silk and they smell good.

One of my favorite chapstick purchases was from the brand One (bath and body), another natural brand.  Honey Cream natural shea butter lip balm has been a plus in keeping my lips soft and hydrated.

Revlon is by far my favorite 'drugstore' make-up brand.  I'm not sure if it's because Halle Berry's a spokesperson or because they just happen to always have my favorite nail polish, lipsticks, etc. in comparison to their competitors.  I have purchased several of the Colorstay Mineral Lipglaze, but my most recent purchase was the color Coral.  It's bright and longwearing- last up to 8 hours! Perfect color for the summer. 

For the nails, because life can be hectic at times, I try to select nailpolish that is longlasting.  Revlon, Rimmel London, and Sally Hansen all have products that go on easy, dry fast, and can withstand more than the avarage polishes.  I'm loving Revlon nailpolish in Grey Suede, Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear nailcolors in Concrete, and Rimmel's 10 Days in Milk Chocolate.

Lastly, my newest discovery came about last night after shampooing my hair.  Light Mayonaise as a conditioner!  I slathered my scalp and entire head with Mayo, waited for about 15 minutes and then washed it out.  My hair was easy to comb through, soft, and shiny.  Very impressive and something I will definitely try again in the near future. 

Comment here, through Facebook/Twitter, and tell me what discoveries you have made this month.  Any products that you have loved or hated!

Moroccan Red Clay - hair and beauty treatments

Red clay is one of my recent discoveries.  I came across the name numerous times while surfing the Internet, and only read great reviews.  I decided to make a purchase a few months back, and finally put this clay to use. Most of you know that I have tried several clays, and have been satisfied with each one.  I try to keep them on hand and tend to use them more for my hair than for my face or body.  My favorite clays are Indian clay and Kaolin clay.  Simply add water, aloe vera juice, and/or apple cider vinegar, and you've created an instant paste.  The amount of liquid used will of course be based on what you're creating; facial, hair conditioner, foot application, etc. Red clay can also be used on the body, head to toe.  It has been used for centuries- across the world.   Tackle blemishes or create cleaner and clearer skin.  Alleviate acne, discoloration and create youthful skin.  If you are suffering from any of...

Self Care- Make it a Habit

Self care habits in progress. I feel so good when I take time out to treat myself. It pleases me  even more when the practice is inexpensive. Polishing my nails, at-home facial, or sometimes a lengthy shower or bath.  It's extremely important to make time for yourself. I know we hear this often, but self care really promotes mental and physical health. If you're having a rough day, challenging week, or simply feeling  overwhelmed or unenthusiastic about circumstances, I strongly urge you to make time for yourself. I find that I am able to think clearer, and my stress levels are reduced significantly after I practice self care.  Sharing a few self care pics below; at home facial, read book alone in the car, or outside in the sun, make a fun (favorite drink) to enjoy alone, or try an at home mani/pedicure. I also find drawing and painting extremely relaxing. Perhaps you can take a walk or get your heart pumping by exercising. Try slower movements with yoga or pilates....
