How adorable is he??? Ok so I'm not normally a fan of gifting Christmas ornaments for Christmas but I do think there are some exceptions. This would be a great early Christmas present for an office mate or co-worker or if you are mailing something off early to a far away friend or family member. That way they get to enjoy it for the entire season and again year after year!<br />

The time has come. The second half of the year has begun. If you’ve
been to the gym lately you may have noticed empty locker rooms and less
bodies huddle together near weight machines. Your social media timelines
are less flooded with posts claiming, “Girl this is my year”. Maybe the
things you have planned for yourself have slowly begun to look like
wishful thinking. I’m here to encourage you to not give up. The mid-year
slump hits all of us. Here are some tips on how to get back into the
game.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><u><b>Regain Focus </b></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
It is very important to remember why
you set your goals. Hopefully, you wrote those goals down at the
beginning of the year. Go back and read those goals out loud to
yourself. Do those goals still entice you? If not, think back to how you
felt when you initially wrote them down. If it still makes you get in
your feelings a lil’ bit, then maybe it’s something you still need to
work on. There are plenty of distractions in our day-to-day lives but we
can’t allow those distractions become more important than bettering
ourselves.<br />
<br />
<i>If you can dream it, you can do it. – Walt Disney </i><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><u><b>Scrap the Plans </b></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Okay,
maybe you tried as hard as you could to accomplish your goals earlier
in the year but things didn’t pan out. I completely understand. It is so
easy to become discouraged when we don’t see immediate results. Were
you trying to get into shape, but not seeing a difference in the mirror?
Were you trying to save money, but pricey roadblocks kept getting in
the way? It is perfectly fine to feel defeated but don’t accept defeat.
Maybe the plan of action you set in place was not the best one for you.
It may have worked for your cousin, your coworker, or your best friend
but it’s not the plan for you.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><u><b>Step back and make a new plan of action. </b></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<i>We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated. – Maya Angelou </i><br />
<br />
Life
is full of twists and turns. Those twists and turns can discourage us
from making accomplishments. No matter the bad days, unforeseen
circumstances, and/or slow progress don’t quit on your goals. Take the
time to refocus on the plans you have for yourself. Also, if you need to
go back to the drawing board and scrap your old plans then do it! It’s
not too late to make 2017 your year girl!<br />

is always good.</div>

We’ve all seen it. Artists reinvent themselves all the time. The
biggest and most notable artist in the past decade would have to be Lady
Gaga. Every album is a new opportunity to introduce one of her many
personas. Same Gaga just a different outfit. I guess it should come as
no surprise when we see product lines doing a little bit of the same.<br />
<br />
Pantene
is a well-known hair care company. They have a large quantity of
products available. The idea is that they have something for everyone.
The recent addition to their arsenal is the Pantene Gold Series. I
noticed the promotion of these new items on social media. When I
initially saw the advertisements, I was like, “here we go, another one”.
Yes, I felt like this was another large hair care brand that was
targeting the natural hair community for profits only. I decided to dig a
little to see if this was much of the same. <br />
<br />
<b>* Pantene and Natural Hair… Sounds Familiar </b><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
This
is not the first-time Pantene has thrown their hat into the natural
hair arena. If you remember a few years ago Pantene introduced their
Truly Natural products. You can still find these products on the shelves
of the larger chain department stores. I’m not sure why Pantene made
the decision to create a new line instead of improving on the one they
already had that was targeted towards natural hair. I can’t help but
feel a little déjà vu with these new items. Some of the most notable
products they now have are a leave-in detangling milk, a repairing hair
mask and a hydrating butter cream.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>* Worthy of a Second Chance? </b><br />
<br />
<br />
I’ll
admit I have yet to try the new products from the Pantene Gold Series,
but from my experience trying the Truly Natural product line years ago I
am not in a hurry to buy these new additions. The Truly Natural
products did little to care for my 4c kinks and curls. But there is
always a chance that the team at Pantene got it right this time. So, I
am slightly optimistic that they have made a more educated effort to
formulate products that will truly work for natural hair and meet the
needs of various natural hair types.<br />
<br />

BREATHLESS RIVIERA CANCUN RESORT & SPA</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My husband and I had the pleasure of visiting the new
Breathless Riviera this January.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a
fairly new upscale resort that tries to appeal to a younger trendy crowd.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The average patron age seemed to be about
30-45.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Let’s start with the pro’s...</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>THE GROUNDS</b></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You will be hard pressed to find a more beautiful
resort!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The resort has a modern, sleek,
clean, trendy and upscale feel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Clean
white lines and glass, infinite pools with views of the
ocean. One of which has a literal unobstructed view with a clear acrylic ledge.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The waves are calm but the beach (sand) area is long, narrow
and rocky so we didn’t spend much time there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The 3 large pools and 2 Jacuzzi pools made up for it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are all large beautiful and well
staffed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>THE FOOD</b></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are several a la carte restaurants with their own
specialty (Italian, French, Pan-Asian, Mexican, Mediterranean, and
Japanese)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>None of which require a
reservation unless you want the hibachi experience at the Japanese restaurant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>FYI, men you will need to bring a pair of
pants as most of the restaurants have a dress code and do not allow
shorts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is also a 24 buffet which
we frequented most often for obvious reasons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The quality of food really impressed me as most buffets usually seem to
be the worst of the worst.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
bartenders can make any drink and top shelf alcohol flows freely which is a
nice bonus.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
THE SERVICE</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The staff here is very friendly and always willing to help
regardless of whether it is their job or not...they will work to find you the
answer and/or the help you need.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Maid service comes around 3 times a day so no matter what
time you leave your room it will be cleaned at some point.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>ENTERTAINMENT</b></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is always some sort of entertainment going on during
the day in the “party pool”: Foam parties, dance lessons, soccer, beach
volleyball and pool games.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you want
some quiet time the farthest of the pools is the “quiet area”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has a lot of water mattresses and gazebos
where you can lounge and catch some zzz’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There are also a few fire pits, a Jacuzzi and bar to grab drinks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The best part is that there are so many options available
for nightlife.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The purple roof top
lounge is absolutely gorgeous with a view of the entire resort, a hookah bar
with swings and an open air bar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There
are nightly shows in the theatre as well as a nightclub open until 3 am.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So let’s move on to the cons...</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>FIRST IMPRESSION</b></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To get to the resort you have to drive down a treacherous 2
mile stretch in your shuttle bus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re talking
4 foot potholes, craters and hills surrounded by swamp. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If they offer an ATV excursion they may as
well do it there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a definite deterrent
as to why we chose not to venture off the resort and explore the local area
around it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>ROOM SERVICE</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We ordered room service for one meal every day and EVERY.
DAY. THEY. GOT. IT. WRONG. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>MUSIC</b></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The slogan of the resort is “welcome to the party” and I
think their idea of party means dance music.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>All day, every day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have
nothing against dance music but it would be nice to hear a variety.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will get some relief if you go to the
nightclub which will throw in some top 40 but if your partying at the pool
during the day it’s Jersey Shore fist bump 24/7.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Overall we both had an amazing time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The quality of resort is great for the price
and yes...I would consider visiting again <span style="font-family: "wingdings"; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">:)</span></span></div>

I
think that there is no better time than the beginning of the year to
offer a key to making this a successful year for you. There are obvious
resolutions that I’m sure you’ve heard of many times before. Maybe you
want to lose weight, maybe travel more and of course save more money.
Let me offer another, often overlooked, resolution. How about standing
up for yourself this year? Now I know you’re envisioning standing in the
schoolyard facing off against the school bully. However, I’m not
talking about standing up for yourself physically. I’m referring to
being the commander and chief of your time and energy in 2017.<br />

<u><b>Finding Value in Yourself </b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>“Until
you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your
time, you will not do anything with it.” ― M. Scott Peck </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
There
are a lot of things in today’s world that crave our attention. There is a
distraction waiting for you at every hour of every day. That television
show, that social media feed and what’s trending on YouTube. Let’s be
honest, it’s not hard to spend hours doing absolutely nothing besides
consuming media. And speaking from my own experience I remember times
when I had something much more important to accomplish but I wasted
valuable time “unwinding”. I wasn’t prioritizing my time and energy. I
traded working on goals today for putting them off until tomorrow
because I didn’t believe in the value of my time. I needed a reality
check. If I didn’t work on my goals who would? If I didn’t stand up to
my own love of idleness than I was going to be stuck in neutral. My
advice to you…Check Yourself!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>No Falsehood in Being Genuine </b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
“I
prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the
ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own
abhorrence.” ― Frederick Douglass <br />
Some people may be great at
self-discipline, but not so great at standing ground against others.
Think of all the times you had to rearrange your day or week to
accommodate someone else’s request. I’m not referring to your kids or
spouses’ everyday needs. I’m talking about those things that you know
are a waste of your time but you do them anyway because you want to be
nice to someone or you want to be<u><b> </b></u>accepted into a group or
community. You weren’t born with a cape. You can’t do everything. If you
know it’s not going to better your life than don’t feel obligated to
drop everything and do it. Like the saying goes, “You can’t pour from an
empty cup”.<br />
<br />
Standing up for yourself doesn’t mean you have to
become a rigid and selfish person. I think it means you make yourself a
priority in order to be successful in your endeavors and to use your
time to do the things you enjoy.<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful 2017!<br />

Ladies unless you have been
living under a rock than by now you have noticed that beards are the new
“it” look for men. Some might say beards are part of the hipster look
and some might say beards are more of a rugged outdoorsman look. My
husband has rocked facial hair since we met, so I have to say I am a
little partial to it. There are aisles and aisles with shelves filled
top to bottom with products made with women in mind. This is not to say
that men can’t use these products but let’s be honest here, very few
Tresemme hair product commercials have men as the object of attention.
Several companies have decided to give men the spotlight by adding
products that cater to their grooming needs. My husband has tried a few
products for his beard so I thought I would review them for you today.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Uncle Jimmy Beard Softener Conditioning Balm $10.99 </b></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
My husband had been looking for a product to keep his beard
moisturized. He received from a friend a few sample packets of the Uncle
Jimmy Beard Softener Conditioning Balm. Black seed, honey and a blend
of essential oils and extracts make up the ingredients list for this
product. My husband enjoyed how creamy and light weight the product
felt. Once it was applied he said it absorbed quickly and made his beard
feel velvety soft. He felt his beard was a lot easier to comb through
once the beard softener was applied. The scent was very subtle and
masculine. In my husband’s opinion the product lived up to its claim.
The Uncle Jimmy product line includes Hair, Beard & Body Wash, Beard
Oil, Body Lotion, Curl Kicker and Molding Putty.<br />

<b>Koils by Nature Men’s Beard Butter $15 </b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZxDl6fZGu8g-Qy2gCagk2m9IfAopFI9ZniFjcZ9_kl8srg9IUt61kyRGem0hSUQ2O7B675TefOH2gtYXW-MqGSIdFYDwITf_O4QyRbEN3yLzwdZbt9axIVuEm1t_R3r5Ns1G4kACoBJGF/s1600/Koils_by_Nature_-_Beard_Butter__59887.1466723688.1280.1280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZxDl6fZGu8g-Qy2gCagk2m9IfAopFI9ZniFjcZ9_kl8srg9IUt61kyRGem0hSUQ2O7B675TefOH2gtYXW-MqGSIdFYDwITf_O4QyRbEN3yLzwdZbt9axIVuEm1t_R3r5Ns1G4kACoBJGF/s320/Koils_by_Nature_-_Beard_Butter__59887.1466723688.1280.1280.jpg" width="320" /></a> </div>
Koils by Nature has been around for quite some time. The company has a
reputation for providing products to promote healthy hair in the
natural hair community. Their men’s line includes Beard Oil, Beard &
Face Cleanser & Shaving Foam, Beard & Face Moisturizer,
Nourishing Hair & Body Butter Tranquil Virility and Beard Butter. I
purchased the Beard Butter as a gift for my bearded man. I was impressed
by the list of ingredients for this product which include shea butter,
coconut oil, avocado butter and Jamaican black castor oil, just to name a
few. The first few times my husband used the Koils by Nature Men’s
Beard Butter he was a little disappointed. Unlike the Uncle Jimmy’s
product, Koils by Nature Men’s Beard Butter has shea butter and coconut
oil as its main ingredients. Which means the product is in more of a
creamy solid state. For the natural hair ladies reading, I’m basically
saying the product has less slip. Therefore, it helps to warm a small
amount in your hands first and then apply. Once my husband had a better
idea of how the product worked best he began to like it. The scent
reminds me of baby powder. Which could be a good or bad thing depending
on your own preferences.<br />
<br />
<br />
Who knows how long the beard trend will
continue. With the cooler months on the way, I can bet that the trend
will not be going anywhere soon. These two companies are placing great
quality items on the shelves. So the next time you are wondering what to
get the man in your life, whether it be a boyfriend, husband, father or
brother, consider buying some men’s only products like the two I
mentioned. Hey, the fellas want to look good too. <br />

<br />
Warm weather is upon us. With the sun beaming down and the heat index
increasing, the natural desire for most people is to gravitate towards
water. Some of us want to take our kids out to play at the beach or show
off our new bikini while splashing around in the pool. Here are some
tips to protect natural hair while enjoying the water this summer.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Pre Aquatic Hair Protection </b></u></span><br />
<br />
*
Apply conditioner. Conditioners can be a moisturizing barrier between
hair follicles and the drying elements of either salt water or pool
water (which typically contains chlorine). Don’t hold back. Layer on
your conditioner of choice. I would suggest putting your hair in
sections and apply the conditioner to each section to be sure that all
your strands get coated.<br />
<br />
* Plan your style. Some would probably
prefer to place their hair in twist or braids, while others might want
to rock a bun. Whichever style you choose is entirely up to you. If you
know that your hair tangles easily when wet then wearing it down
probably isn’t a good choice. If you choose to wear your hair down then
bringing a hair tie or scarf might come in handy just in case your free
hair becomes cumbersome.<br />
<br />
* Swim caps. Swim caps aren’t just for
Olympic hopefuls. If you don’t trust simply applying conditioner, than
completely tucking your hair away may be the option for you. Swim caps
can be purchased from most department stores. If you think you have too
much hair to fit under a swim cap there are options for you. The website
www.dreadlocks.com/au/28-accessories has large sized swim caps to
accommodate those with a lot of hair.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Post Aquatic Hair Protection </b></u></span><br />
<br />
*
Dry responsibly. This might seem a little over the top BUT if you use a
t-shirt to dry your hair at home, don’t feel bad about bringing a
t-shirt to the beach or poolside for the same purpose. T-shirts fibers
are less likely to snag our natural curls. So grab a t-shirt you
wouldn’t mind being caught wrapping around you noggin when swim time is
over. Or bring a cute, yet gentle and absorbent scarf that can be both
fashionable and functional.<br />
<br />
* Rinse your hair. If you choose not
to wear a swim cap then don’t skip rinsing your hair after taking a dip
in the pool. Just like it is suggested that you take a shower and
cleanse your body <br />
after swimming, you should cleanse your hair
too. Nothing But Clarifying Shampoo and Aubrey Organics Swimmers
Normalizing Shampoo are two clarifying shampoo examples available to aid
with removing chemicals from your hair.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
If you don’t
know by now, natural hair loves water. However, the additional elements
that can be found in the places we swim can make the water
counter-productive to our strands. Make sure your pre-game and post-game
tactics leave you with the least amount of worry about your natural
hair strands.<br />
<br />

protecting your hair and skin while swimming:

My husband purchased a 75 Datsun 280Z for his birthday and
decided to spruce it up a bit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We love
supporting local businesses so searched for a classic car shop in our area to
take it to.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After locating Scott's Custom Classics we paid him a visit,
met Jay Scott himself who was very friendly and advised he could do all the requested
paint and body work for $4500 in 1.5 weeks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We left a $2500 deposit and the car.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Unfortunately a week and a half later no work had been done to the car.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He said he
would be giving it to his “paint guy” that day and it would be done in another

should have our car back.</div>

3 weeks turned into 11 weeks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We found out that he didn’t give it to his
paint guy he actually handed the car off to a different shop for a “cut”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He said the work was done but the car would
not be released until a further $3000 was handed over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We gave him the money and the car still was not done. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A week later (now into the 12<sup>th</sup> week) and we
finally get the car back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The paint job

<br />
Although it can be a little nerve racking, I do enjoy trying new
products for my hair. I ran out of my usual leave-in conditioner, Kinky
Curly Knot Today, so I decided it was the perfect time to try something
different. The Aunt Jackie’s product line has expanded. This is my first
time trying any of their products. The Aunt Jackie’s Quench Moisture
Intensive Leave-In Conditioner is part of the Curls & Coils
Collection.<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>Product States:</b></u> <br />
Long-lasting moisture, slip
and softness are delivered through natural conditioners, including
Marshmallow Root, Shea Butter and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. An
ultra-hydrating, deep moisture therapy for parched tresses. Don’t rinse
it out! This mega-moisturizing and conditioning treatment helps
eliminate dryness, without a heavy feel. <br />
My Hair Type: <br />
In the “4” family. Yes…all the 4’s…all on one head!<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>My Process: </b></u><br />
After
detangling, washing and deep conditioning my hair I applied the product
to my hair (working within sections) and massaged it in, making sure to
get a gracious amount onto my ends. I did this whole process on
slightly damp hair. I then put my hair into my desired style and let it
air dry.<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>My Thoughts: </b></u><br />
<br />
Product Look, Scent and
Texture – The product had the consistency of a silky and malleable
conditioner. It spread through my hair smoothly and with very little
resistance. There was no residue, the product seemed to absorb into my
hair quickly. The scent was similar to most conditioners that I have
come across in the past. It was very similar to Kinky Curly Knot Today
Leave-in Conditioner probably because of the marshmallow root.<br />
<br />
<br />
Results
– The next day my hair felt moisturized and soft. There was no
lingering scent. My hair was still detangled. I think this product was a
good introduction to the Aunt Jackie’s product line for me. I am very
interested in trying more of their products and probably using this
product in combination with some of their other products like the In
Control Moisturizing & Softening Conditioner. I am also hoping to
try their new Flaxseed Collection.<br />
<br />
<br />
I hope this product review
was helpful. Have you tried any products from the Aunt Jackie’s product
line? Which products? What did you think of it?<br />

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
<div class="MsoNormal">
The hotel is a bit dated and could use a fresh coat of
paint.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The bell boys and check in staff
are friendly however upon arrival they “could not find” our reservations. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The check in staff took our information and
walked away and didn’t seem to keep us in the loop along the way as to what was
going on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So we sort of just sat there
wondering but the lobby is open air and had a nice ocean breeze blowing through
it and of course we were immediately served drinks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although quite annoyed by our experience upon
arrival, they did eventually get it sorted out.</div>

THE ROOMS:
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The rooms are a bit dated but they are bright, spacious and
well kept.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>House cleaning is very
thorough and frequent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The GROUNDS:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Absolutely exceptional beach!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No complaints in that department at all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The sand is soft and warm, not too hot or too
rocky to walk on barefoot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The water is
a beautiful turquoise and clear enough for you to see the fish and shells if
you pay attention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is always a
lifeguard on duty as well as servers walking around to refresh your
drinks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are lounge chairs and
cabanas however you have to get up early if you want to secure a spot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are locals walking around offering
their wares but they are not overbearing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They advertise two pools however there is really only one
main pool and a smaller hot tub.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
main pool is not heated but the water is still warm enough to get right
in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The main bonus is that unlike many resorts
the pool is open late until 11pm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

FOOD:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The resort has a buffet restaurant and 4 a la carte’s and a
snack bar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The buffet is open every day
for breakfast and lunch and has a great offering of food.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both the breakfast and lunch buffet include 3
manned stations where the chef’s cook your food fresh to order. (omelettes,
eggs, waffles, French toast, pancakes, smoothies,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>tacos, fajitas, stirfy, pasta, etc.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The service at the a la cartes are quick and friendly and
the quality of food is fantastic.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you go to the snack bar, order the chicken wings!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
DRINKS:
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The quality of alcohol unfortunately was lacking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although they display many brands of alcohol
they all suspiciously taste the same.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If
you rarely drink, this may not be an issue but if you are brand loyal you will
be disappointed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I personally ended up
walking across the street to purchase a bottle of Smirnoff because I couldn’t
stomach the taste of whatever they were trying to pass off as vodka.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
ENTERTAINMENT:
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is a small entertainment staff of 2-4 people
throughout the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have daytime
activities such as beach volleyball, pool volleyball, beer chugging contests,
dance contests, and pool races.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you
feel like venturing out, the resort is located about 5-10 minutes from 3 malls,
a fleamarket, and a wal-mart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The buses
run every 10 minutes are only cost a dollar. The night time entertainment is
limited to one lounge which offers karaoke most nights as well as a casino
night where you can play blackjack for prizes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They definitely need to improve in this area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However there are a number of representatives
walking around which will offer you various deals for local clubs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Very safe and normally large groups of people
go at a time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They will provide you
transportation to the club as well as open bar which ranges from $30-$90
depending on the location.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are
not one to leave the resort and you go with a good group of people and you will
still enjoy yourself.</div>

I loved my vacation and would recommend this hotel if you are

booking a vacation are 1) cleanliness – The place has to be immaculate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>2) Bugs – It cannot have any reports of
roaches, or other disgusting critters. 3) Food – The food has to be great.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although this resort does have a lot of room

When the natural hair movement began most naturalistas had to resort
to making their own products for their hair because most major hair
companies were not yet hip to the fact that that women of color were
boldly rocking their natural textures. As time passes many companies
have begun to pay attention to what consumers, which is you and I, want.
Or better yet, what we the consumers are spending our dollars on. As
you may have noticed the beauty supply and big chain store shelves are
filling up with more products dedicated to curly hair and natural
textures. MOTIONS® threw its hat into the natural hair ring some time
ago with products including, but not limited to, styling creams, deep
conditioning masques and moisturizing cleansers. Yes MOTIONS®, the same
company that promised you and I well-conditioned, beautiful, silky
straight hair all enclosed in a smart marketing-heavy box. As it is
with most big-named haircare line products I was a bit hesitant to try
any of the products but thinking it over I decided to try the MOTIONS®
Pre-Wash Detangling Butter.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Product States: </b><br />
Melts into
each hair strand providing deep penetrating moisture and instant tangle
release. Infused with Shea Butter, Coconut and Avocado Oils, this
ultra-moisturizing butter smoothes over each strand to provide the ideal
slip and softness to promote less hair breakage.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>My Hair Type: </b><br />
In the type “4”, kinky and coily family.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>My Process: </b><br />
The instructions state to add the butter to dry hair but I refuse to
apply any product to my hair without adding a little bit of water to my
hair first. I know, that’s very hard-headed of me. So I gave my hair a
light spritzing of water and then parted it into four sections in
preparation. I then made smaller sections within the four sections and
applied the butter. I made the smaller sections to ensure thorough
detangling. I initially used my fingers for detangling but then followed
up with a wide tooth comb. I had my normal amount of shedding at the
end of the process. Once I was done I then continued my wash day routine by following up with a shampoo, deep conditioning treatment and then a leave-in conditioner and styler.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUOQyAjTRVSvgx1bVA7aIb_OEeST-MQ6qCKM8K7Zv32ATcw5nDSBd6AXb9lDuimydOOCIBXIDoeGgNpcRICKXWPZ6YPvo9uqOYcTzwuF1b3BomM-6qcivR5wP99rFku8dSt0cSO-SAxcDw/s1600/Untitled.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="166" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUOQyAjTRVSvgx1bVA7aIb_OEeST-MQ6qCKM8K7Zv32ATcw5nDSBd6AXb9lDuimydOOCIBXIDoeGgNpcRICKXWPZ6YPvo9uqOYcTzwuF1b3BomM-6qcivR5wP99rFku8dSt0cSO-SAxcDw/s320/Untitled.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>My Thoughts: </b><br />
Product Look, Scent and Texture – The detangling
butter looked similar to most conditioners. The butter was very creamy
with a lot of slip. Slip refers to how malleable the product is when it
is worked throughout the hair. There is a light coconut and almond scent
to the butter. <br />
Results – Overall, the product did what is stated
it would do. The slip of the product allowed my wide toothed combed to
glide through my hair with ease. I felt the product worked well. If you
are strict about what products you put on your hair this may not be the
product for you. The label states shea butter as being one of the main
ingredients. However, if you look at the ingredients label shea butter
is lower on the list. Which means that there is a lot less shea butter
in this product than the label would lead you to believe. Ingredients
lists have to list the ingredients from most dominant to least dominant.
If you’re willing to be light-hearted about your products then this
product is worth purchasing for your detangling needs.<br />
<br />
<br />
Have you tried this product? Have you tried any of Motions® Natural Hair Line? Make sure to comment. <br />

We
are finally becoming nestled into 2016. It seems like at the end of the
year, every year, we reflect on what we’ve done, how we could have done
things better, and of course we think about what we should have done.
We remind ourselves of our goals and desires and how we came so close,
yet still remained so far away, from achieving those things. For many of
us naturalistas that often includes our hair goals. As we venture into
2016 here are some tips, or better yet my humble opinions, on how we can
better handle our hair goals for the year.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>MAKE ATTAINABLE GOALS </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Have
you ever heard the phrase “My eyes were bigger than my stomach”? That
statement is talking about food, however, that phrase can easily be used
for other things in life too. We’ve all seen them on Instagram,
Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. The women who have accomplished amazing
feats of length and luscious flowing tresses in what seems to be a short
amount of time. And all we have to do is…follow exactly what they did.
Including how they did it. And don’t forget what they used to do it
with. We give it 6 weeks and if that doesn’t seem to work we’re then on
to the next one. The problem is one of two things. First, we probably
did not access all the factors involved. Like do you have a similar hair
type or are you using the exact product the exact same way. The other
thing is has that person given you all the facts. Do they even know the
facts about their hair and the products they use? It’s important for us
to experiment and see what works for ourselves and not worry too much
about the next head of hair on our radar. Make practical goals, like
trying to attain healthy hair. Or even to try to formulate a schedule or
hair care regimen that you can stick with.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>KEEP ON TRACK </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Once
you have figured out what goal you want to set for your hair, decide on
the best way to keep on track. Maybe you can set a reminder on your
planner or calendar of which days are wash days and on which days you
need to do a little extra like a deep conditioning treatment or using a
protein treatment. You can even find a wash day buddy. Which is someone
who chooses to care for their hair on the same day you do. They can text
you and remind you that it’s wash day. Or even accompany you to the
salon for a deep conditioning treatment. Of course taking pictures is
also a very simple way to keep track of how you are doing.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>DON’T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
As
with any goal there will always be setbacks. Some of them are minor and
some of them are a little tougher to get over. There is no set in stone
guide to beautiful healthy hair. For everyone that journey is
different. Anyone who you see as being successful at anything had to
stumble along the way. If you find something that works for you then
great, but if it takes some trial and error then don’t spend too much
time worrying about it. This too shall pass. Your hair will be fine and
so will you.<br />

<br />
I cannot be the only one who has the worst luck with nail polishes. I
see the prettiest color on the shelf and have to have it. I have to
capture this beautiful hue and paint it on my nails and make sure I,
along with everyone else, can see its magnificent allure. Anywhere from
$1.75 to $9.25 later and my nails are magnificent. Then less than 48
hours later…there it is. Putting an end to all my nail vanity. A chip. A
nick. A scratch. Whatever you call it, it is frustrating to no end. I
think most women, or at least the ones of us who enjoy prettying-up our
nails, hate when our nail polish chips too easy. In addition many of us
don’t have the time to touch-up our nails daily to keep them looking
great. The alternatives to this have been to apply a really good (AKA
expensive) topcoat at most twice. Or to apply a base coat, followed by
polish and then finish with a good topcoat. Or the alternative that has
gained popularity over the last 5 years or so, is the use of a gel
polish. Gel polish is advertised a lot in nail salons and spas. However,
as with most services it can hit your wallet. In addition to that you
have to leave your home and visit a salon or purchase your own UV lamp.
To be honest neither are convenient. Being a woman who loves adorning
her nails with color I had almost given up on the idea of having painted
nails until recently. I was pleasantly intrigued by the new gel polish
line from Sally Hansen named the Miracle Gel. I copped a few shades to
decide how I felt about it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>How It Works: </b></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The Miracle Gel
is claimed to be the first-ever part-lacquer, part-gel manicure system.
You should be able to apply the nail lacquer (polish) to your nail. Wait
5 minutes. Then apply the salon gel as a top coat. Then wait 15
minutes. Your nails are not ready until you apply the gel top coat. The
gel top coat is activated by natural light and does not need the typical
UV/LED lamp.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>The Verdict: </b></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The experience was very simple
to use. I trimmed, shaped and cleaned my nails before application. Then
I followed the simple instructions. The experience is exactly like the
ordinary application of nail polish. However, the drying time is
shorter. My nails were 100 percent dry in less than 20 minutes. Did the
polish last? Yes it did. I know it sounds like I’m exaggerating but
trust me I’m not exaggerating when I <br />
say that typically nail
polish doesn’t make it more than 48 hours on my nails without chipping.
This gel system lasted past the 48 hour mark and still looked good. I
tried a few of the shades available and had the same result. When I was
ready to change to a new shade, I used my non-acetone nail polish
remover and the polish came off easily.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Final Thoughts: </b></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
My
experience with this product was good. I have no complaints. I
purchased my polishes and gel topcoat from Target. I have also seen them
in CVS and Wal-Mart. The price point for a single polish is typically
up to $8.00. In most stores you can buy the set, which includes a polish
color and the gel topcoat for a good deal. If you love to paint your
fingernails and toenails then I would recommend trying this product.<br />

<span lang="EN-US">Yes the need for a “summer hot bod” is long
gone. The winter months are creeping up. Soon we’ll all be swallowed up by
coats, blankets, scarves and hats. However, some of us like to keep our summer
bodies year-round. There’s nothing wrong with that. If you’re anything like me,
going to the gym is simply a necessary part to your week. Do I always enjoy it?
No. Well if I’m not going to enjoy it every time I should at least be
comfortable and look cute.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">In the past I never thought twice about my
hair when I was working out. But recently, as my hair has grown, I’ve started
considering it during my gym preparation. If you walk down most drug store hair
care aisles you see much of the same. Cute advertisements, but nothing that
looks like it would suit natural hair. Because of our curls it is not as simple
as grabbing anything from the shelf. Will it snag? Will it break? Will it stay
in place? You combine a head full of curls, working out and sweat together and
well let’s just say you better have a good plan of “hair-action”. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I decided to do my own trial and error to
see which head band would work for natural hair. I chose 3 different brands,
varying in price and style, and tried them during separate workouts. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Sweaty Bands claims to be the #1 fitness
headband in the world. I found them through a quick Google search. The website
had a plethora of colors and prints to choose from. The prices were ok, they
had a few headbands on sale. The word “sale” as always makes you feel better
about adding things to your virtual cart, lol. I was excited to receive my
headbands, but not so excited when one of them broke when trying to put it on.
This made me a little worried. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Man was I
glad I bought two. </i>The second headband fit perfectly. It stayed in place
throughout my entire workout. However, one thing I did notice is although the
brand is called “Sweaty Bands” there was nothing about these headbands that
seemed to absorb moisture. I think if you were expecting this to keep sweat
from running down your forehead and neck well this product may leave you
drenched. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Verdict:</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> Did it stay in place? Yes. Was it cute? Yes. Sweat catcher? Hardly.
Worth the price? If you’re looking for a unique headband, than sure, but I
would shop around first if I were you. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">If you’ve been to Walmart or K-mart then
you must have seen the Scϋnci brand on the shelves. They must have some sort of
monopoly deal with Walmart because this seemed to be the only brand that I
could find there. They had about four different design options to choose from.
Surprisingly none of them boasted about absorbing sweat or keeping you dry
during your workout. The one I chose seemed to have the best balance of
elasticity and grip. The fit was snug but midway through my workout I no longer
noticed it which was great. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Verdict:</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> The headband stayed in place. But like I mentioned for the headband
above that is pretty much all it was made to do. I’m not sure how well this
would work for someone with more hair, it could be problematic. And FYI, if
you’re looking for more headband options don’t try Walmart lol.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">The last headbands I tried were very
inexpensive and purchased at the Dollar Tree. I felt they were only a dollar so
I didn’t have much to lose, besides maybe a few strands of hair, lol. The set
came with one wide soft headband and two slim stretchy ones. I used the black
stretch one to secure my puff (ponytail) and the wide soft headband to make
sure I didn’t end up with any “curls gone wild” on the rest of my head. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Although I haven’t used each headband over

a headband from a store hoping that it could hold up during your workouts? Did
it satisfy or were you left feeling like you wasted you money? Let me know! Thanks

Twists-outs are not a style choice I venture into often. However, I
am determined to use up my product stash. Yes you know what I am talking
about. The “product stash” which is filled with gifted products,
borrowed and never given back products and the ones that you swore you
couldn’t wait to try but somehow you never got around to it products.
Several of the products in my stash are better for cleansing, some for
conditioning and others for styling. I decided to use a styling product
so I could switch up my style for a minute and to be honest I wasn’t
feeling my usual wash n’ go. So twist-out it is! I grabbed Beautiful
Texture Moisture Butter Whipped Curl Crème and gave it a chance. <br />
<br />
Product States: <br />
Soften and nourish curls, silken waves, elongate kinky coils and tame frizzies. <br />
<br />
My Hair Type: <br />
In the “4” family. Yes…all the 4’s…all on one head! <br />
<br />
My Process: <br />
After
washing, detangling and applying my leave-in of choice (Kinky Curly
Knot Today) I parted and sectioned my hair into the direction I wanted
my hair to fall. I then applied approximately a nickel sized amount of
product to my hand and worked it onto my fingertips. I applied the
product to my hair (working within the sections) and massaged it in,
making sure to get a gracious amount onto my ends. I did this whole
process on slightly damp hair. <br />
The next morning I checked to make
sure my hair was completely dry and then proceeded to undo my flat
twists. I used a few drops of coconut oil on my fingertips and slowly
unraveled the twists. I fluffed and filled in the parts where needed.<br />

<br />
My Thoughts: <br />
<br />
Product Look, Scent and Texture – The
product was a cream color and had the consistency of a thick
conditioner. It spread through my hair smoothly and with very little
resistance. There was a minimal amount of white residue but that
disappeared quickly once it began to absorb into my hair. The scent was
delightful and very similar to the Beautiful Textures Rapid Repair Deep
Conditioner. <br />
<br />
Results – I have to say from using a
moisture butter alone I was quite impressed. My hair was very well
defined. The places I had frizziness were the places I could tell I
forgot to apply product to. The twists were well defined and the
twist-out lasted for three days. I will say that I did switch up my hair
a tad each of those three days, due to shrinkage. It probably would
have lasted longer but I chose to wash my hair a little sooner than I
normally would. The product rinsed clean from my hair with no buildup
left behind. I definitely would recommend this product if you are
looking for definition in your styles. <br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have developed a love-hate relationship with protective styling.
Before I get into all of that let me explain what “protective styling”
is for those who are unaware. Hair can become beat up and stressed out
from day to day styling. From combing, brushing, ponytails, flat irons,
blow dryers and of course our pesky fingers. All these things, whether
by themselves or in combination, can cause over manipulation to our hair
strands which can lead to damage. Protective styling allows our hair to
take a break. In the African-American hair community that usually
involves hair extensions. Some examples of this are wigs, braided or
twisted extensions or sewn-in/ glued-in/ clipped-in extensions (yes we
are a very crafty and creative people lol). The length of time that the
extensions are left in is at the discretion of the wearer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now back to what I was saying earlier. I have developed a love-hate
relationship with protective styling. I have been protective styling
since before I knew there was a term for it. The first time I got box
braids I was in the 4th grade (and you couldn’t tell me nothin’ lol). At
first wearing a weave was simply for style. I didn’t have hair that
sashayed past my shoulders so I felt pretty cute finally having that
experience. Moving into junior high school (insert body image issues and
acne) wearing weave became a safety net. I was self-conscience about my
appearance, including the look of my hair without weave. It was not
long, it was not silky smooth (even with a perm) and it didn’t make me
feel pretty. I wore a weave because I didn’t have to worry about being
teased about my hair. Once I entered high school my hair insecurities
had grown. I went from one weave to the next without hesitation. I had
an idea of protective styling, however it was not for the health of my
hair but for vanity reasons. “If I keep my hair braided long enough I’ll
have tons of new growth.” Does that sound familiar to anyone? I was
chasing “a look”. I was chasing acceptance. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fast forward to my college years and I had grown tired of weaves and
impatient with my unacceptance of what lied beneath them. However I felt
myself drifting back to the comfort and the ease of wearing my hair in
weave. Then like a sign from the heavens (ok ok not that dramatic lol) I
decided to return to my natural hair. Although I had dabbled in
protective styles in my 1st year of being natural, by the 2nd year mark I
had become in love with the hair growing from my scalp and was throwing
so much shade at weave. Somehow I decided I didn’t need nor want a
protective style. I wore my natural hair freely…daily. But recently,
like what happens to most of us, life happened. You get busy, you get
lazy and sometimes you just get in a rut. For me I had ended up with all
three. I had grown too lazy to do my wash-n-go. Too bored with rocking
my puff. Too “over” detangling to wear my fro. Life changes had caused
me to have very little time for my hair and the time I did spend on my
hair was not always to its benefit. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Girl, we knew you would be back” said Protective Styling. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes I was back on board. One new wig and few bags of Marley hair
later and I was back on board. Although I was a little reluctant to dive
back in I quickly reminded myself of the end result. I had to remind
myself that women protective style for various reasons. Some for style
and some for a much needed break. I am glad now that I have grown out of
the mindset of letting protective styling be a crutch for my
insecurities. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course while wearing any protective style it is important to
remember your hair. It still needs some tender love and care. If your
hair has been in a protective style for long you may need to wash it
with a gentle shampoo or a dry shampoo. Remember you still need to add
moisture to your strands and your scalp. I still love my hair and love
seeing my curls. However I had to accept some assistance with its upkeep
for now. My hair will be protected from external problems and my
negligence. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A healthy balance goes a long way. </div>

<br />
I will be honest Design Essentials is not one of the first brands
that comes to my mind when I think of product lines designed to assist
women with taking care of their natural strands. This is partly to do
with the fact that my former hair stylist used this product line on my
hair back in my relaxed days. In my mind any products that I used before
going natural must be given the cold shoulder and treated like an
ex-boyfriend. However I decided to put my skepticism on the shelf and
give Design Essentials another try. I must also mention that one of the
main reasons I decided to use this product is because it was in a goodie
bag I received from a natural hair event held for International Natural
Hair Meet-Up Day, and it was a full size product…it would be so wrong
of me to be wasteful right? I will confess that the past two weeks I
have been a lazy natural. I skipped wash day…insert a disappointed sigh
here… and due to this fact my hair was in need of some TLC. I knew, like
so many other naturalistas, my hair was going to be a pain to wash. So I
grabbed the Design Essentials Almond & Avocado Moisturizing and
Detangling Conditioner, a spray bottle and said a quick prayer. Here’s
my review.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I parted my hair into four sections. I then (starting
with my first section) spritz my hair with water until my hair was very
damp. I ran my hands over the section, with my hands in the “praying
hands” formation, just to loosen any shed hairs that hadn’t quite fallen
out yet. After that, I separated that section into three smaller
sections for efficient detangling. I then took a quarter sized amount of
product and worked it through one of the smaller sections. I finger
detangled initially and then followed that up with my wide tooth comb. I
repeated this process on all four sections of my hair. Your detangling
process may be different, do what works for you.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>Texture Consistency & Product Smell: </b></u><br />
The
detangling conditioner looked like most conditioners you would purchase
in any store. It was a milky white color. The consistency was also
similar to most conditioners with a silky creaminess. The almond <br />
scent
was most prominent. The scent does disappear after you rinse out the
conditioner. I was a little disappointed to see that the almond butter
and avocado butter ingredients were further down on the ingredients
list.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>The Verdict: </b></u><br />
The product claims to “Save Up To 30
Minutes Detangling Time”. I can’t say that it did that for me. Was I
able to detangle my hair? Yes. However, it didn’t do a better job than
any other store bought conditioner, like Tresseme Naturals or Herbal
Essence Hello Hydration for example. It didn’t seem to have anything
significant about it when it came to detangling my type 4 natural hair.
The product wasn’t bad but it wasn’t anything to rave about either.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>Final Thoughts: </b></u><br />
I
would not purchase this item. It didn’t do anything of significance
that would set it apart from other conditioners, especially for the
price. I will admit that I will probably use it again for a detangling
aid but only to be frugal and not feel bad for throwing away something
that I can use. If you are a Design Essentials fan then it may be a
product for you to try but don’t feel bad if you skip this one. <br />
Thanks for reading my review. I hope you found it helpful.<br />

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">When going natural the first thing
most women think of first is how big and luscious their curls will be. Countless
blogs and YouTube channels show naturalistas with beautiful manes with endless
styling options. Natural hair is supposed to be full and big right?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or….so many believe will be the case for
every natural haired girl. In my own journey to rediscovering my hair I had
forgotten an important component of the makeup of my mane…which is that I
indeed have fine hair. When I first transitioned and then big chopped my fine
hair was not something I considered into any styling equation. It <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>wasn’t until my hair began to grow out of the teeny-weeny
afro stage and into the awkward length stage that I noticed my hair didn’t
quite look like other naturalistas I followed on social media. Here are a few
tips from myself and other bloggers that I have come across on caring for fine
natural hair.</span></span></div>

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Now
I’m not encouraging any woman to compare her hair to anyone else’s. I believe
that everyone’s hair is different, even if the differences are minimal. But hey
let’s be honest, when you follow step by step someone’s tutorial for a specific
style and it doesn’t pan out how you expected, it can be quite frustrating. Having
fine hair has made me readjust my expectations. For me personally it seemed
like no matter what products I used or the steps taken in the process the
particular style never looked full enough. Through trial and error I have come
to a better understanding of what works for <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">my</b> 4c fine hair.</span></span><span lang="EN-US"> The route some fine
haired naturals take, including myself as of 6 months ago, is to do wash n’
go’s or low manipulative protective styling. The wash n’ go’s promote curl
definition and allow for little day to day maintenance in between restyling. <span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also although a
normal twist-out is not something that looks the best on me a flat twist-out
actually gives my hair a fuller look and stretches my hair for length. Recently
I came across an article by <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">mee169 from
the blog The Kink and I</b>. Mee169 explains in the post her hits and misses
when attempting to find what works for her natural fine hair. Mee169 mentions
that Bantu Knot-Outs are her top pick for fine hair. She writes, </span></span></span>

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">“One reason
why this is number one on my list is that unlike the other styles I will mention,
you don’t necessarily have to separate the curls you get in order to achieve a
volumised look. The style in itself automatically does that for you, and so
more often than not, you could separate the curls a little bit and then fluff
the roots with an afro pick and you are good to go.”</span></i></span><span lang="EN-US"> <a href="http://www.thekinkandi.wordpress.com/2015/02/10/more-scalp-than-hair-styling-solutions-for-fine-or-thin-hair/"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">www.thekinkandi.wordpress.com/2015/02/10/more-scalp-than-hair-styling-solutions-for-fine-or-thin-hair/</i></a><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">.</i><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">She also mentions her second go to
style as rod sets because they give the illusion of volume. This is not to say
that twists, twist-outs, mini-twists, braids and braid-outs can’t be achieved
but they may not result in the level of fullness or even fluffiness that you
are looking for. Something also to consider is that if the proper preparation
is not taken it could result in breakage over time. Some styles can prove to be
too strenuous to fine hair strands. Because I have a combination of 4c and fine
hair I would typically have to twist and then re-twist my hair nightly to
achieve a look of curl definition on a twist-out for multiple days. The low
manipulative protective styles allow the hair to be protected from the
elements, and our pesky fingers, and also keep the hair put away for an
extended amount of time before restyling.</span></span></div>

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">It’s
not just finding the right Go-To style that can be the issue. Sometimes getting
the details of the style can be troublesome. Like slaying them edges girl! Although
sleek edges are usually something most naturals go for I had to jump off that
bandwagon when I began experiencing a lot of breakage to my fine strands. I
have found that edge tamers and pomades are a No-Go. One of the popular
formulas for growing back edges is Jamaican Black Castor Oil. Many naturals
swear by this, however I have not seen much difference in my own hair (maybe I
need to throw on a pair of ruby red slippers, tap my heels together and chant
“I wish my hair would… no? Too much?). A formula I believe to have found
success with, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">when my edges decided to go
on vacation</i>, is a combination of jojoba and peppermint oil.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can’t say 100 percent that this is what
helped my edges return but I would like to say there is a strong possibility.
Plus now instead of using pomades and edge tamers I lay my edges down with
leave-in conditioner and then wrap my hair in a scarf for approximately 10
minutes. It’s not a super straight and sleek look but it can keep edges
in-tact.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Let me start by saying I have filled in my
eyebrows since high school. God chose to bless me with full lips, freckles, some
decent cheek bones and one dimple on my left cheek. However he did not bless me
with a full brow. I have grown to accept such a fact. I didn’t always accept
it. Between us ladies (and maybe gents) I can recall at short period of time when
I was about 14 or 15 that I decided to rub a light coating of hair grease on my
fine eyebrows daily<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a> in hopes they would eventually blossom
into full on Audrey Hepburn-mode brows but all I ended up with was a waste of
time and a waste of Blue Magic. So like I mentioned before I have come to
accept my lackluster brows. Just because I have accepted them doesn’t mean I
can’t give them a little boost. Lately eyebrows have taken the spotlight in the
beauty world. Over the years so many developments have been made to giving a
person the look of a fuller brow. From makeup to eyebrow tenting at salons and
even eyebrow tattooing. I personally am not up for the idea of getting my
eyebrows tattooed on, but to each person their own. I think I would be up for
getting them tinted but haven’t looked into the process enough as of yet. So I
decided to use the next best thing…makeup. I decided to give a few inexpensive
eyebrow fillers a shot and see if they are worth the purchase. I headed to
Target and purchased three separate eyebrow products. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">I felt the
Maybelline Define-A-Brow and Maybelline BROWdrama Sculpting Brow Mascara
combination was a good one. I think it gave a more natural look than the Maybelline
Define-A-Brow alone. Out of the three new products that I purchased the Maybelline
BROWdrama Sculpting Brow Mascara is the only one I would most likely
re-purchase. The e.l.f. Eyebrow Kit I would more than likely not re-purchase
however I would recommend it to someone looking for a new brow product. The NYX
Eyebrow Cake Powder I would not re-purchase and would not recommend. </span></div>

It comes in red, purple, brown, pink and blue. I went with purple because I thought it would have a better chance of showing up vibrantly on my dark hair.<br />

This stuff is super easy to use. You literally take the bottle out of the box, shake it and apply it to your hair and let it dry. That's it! You don't have to rinse or mix or anything! The colour is buildable and I was really happy with the results once it dried. Although my camera flash makes it appear blue, it actually was a vibrant purple colour. <br />

The product is designed to coat your hair strands once it dries, the plus side of that is that it gives your hair weight….my twist out actually had a lot more hang time then normal. The only downside to this coating I experienced was some flaking. It says it's supposed to last for 2 shampoos but mine only lasted 1. In Garnier's defence, I don't think it was meant to withstand all the extras us naturals tend to do on wash day (pre-poo, hot oil treatment, deep conditioner, etc)<br />

Overall it was fun and a great alternative for those who want to experiment with colour without the commitment. I'll have a video up on my YouTube channel this week so that you can see the true colour so stay tuned!<br />

<br />
I love the packaging, super sleek and girly. The brush is a Christmas tree shape with varying lengths of bristles and works great at finding and coating every lash.<br />
There isn't much suction in the tube so you do end up with that mascara glob at the tip that you'll have to wipe back off into the opening.<br />
<br />
The mascara itself gives great length and volume with 3 coats. It's a little clumpy but not too bad. The only con I really have is that I usually remove my make up with baby wipes and this time I couldn't. The mascara is a little stubborn so you will need an eye makeup remover to get it all off.<br />
<br />
If you can catch it on sale I'd say it's worth a try.<br />
