Cocoa Butter: Conditioning Body Lotion

    If you have soft and smooth skin that's great. But most people like myself experience dull, dry, and rough skin. For me I experience dry skin, so it is important that I have a good product that keeps my skin moisturized. In a recent post I talked about Vaseline: total moisture lotion as one of my favorites. If you want to know about it click here: My favorites of the moment . But here is another lotion that's just as good. After reading this some might think this is even better. For the most both lotions do the same thing.   The cocoa butter body lotion helps give the skin a natural glow eliminating the dry/ rough skin we have during the winter or for some all year long. The rich cocoa butter evens out the skin tone. One of the best things about this body lotion is that, it moisturizes the skin leaving it feeling soft and smooth. Most importantly this lotion gives you the essential moisture your skin needs to feel healthy. In my opinion some people sp...

Magazine Finds: Biore Pore Nose Strips

  I love magazines, it's one of my guilty pleasures. Not only do I like reading the latest gossip, but I also like finding the latest beauty trends. While flipping through the pages I found a page that didn't look like the regular pages. So when I opened it, I saw the advertisement for the Biore Pore Nose Strips. The coolest thing about it was that there was a sample to try. I was so excited to see that Actress Brittany Snow is the spokesperson for this. Maybe that's why I was a little persuaded to try it out. Keep reading to see what I think about.      The Biore Pore Strip is a deep cleanser that unclogs pores and draws out excess oil for the deepest cleaning. This is an oil-absorbing charcoal strip, that cleans all of the dirt that is on your nose. I am so glad I found this, I tried it and I love it! I should have taken a picture of the strip before I used it but, I was excited and forgot. I used the nose ...

Be Happy!

I know it's cliché but we all should be happy. We all have our ups and downs, but if we try to be happy and think positive it will get better. Sometimes I complain about things that I want but don't have, we all do it's normal. Then I stop and think about all of the people that do not have anything. If their still thinking positive and having hope, then we can remember that having all of the designer bags or following the hottest trends isn't important. If you are feeling down, surround yourself with happy people that can make you smile! Another important thing to remember, is be nice to others. You may be the reason some one else is happy and smiling. You never know what others are going through. There's a lot of negativity in this world, so we need to fill it with as much positivity as we can. If you're not in a happy mood, try finding activities that can cheer you up. For example, you can go walking or hiking. These things definitely help clear your mi...

L'OREAL: EverPure Sulfate-Free Shampoo and Conditioner

   The L'Oreal Shampoo and Conditioner was the first sulfate - free I ever tried. Because I have a set hair routine now, I discontinued my use. But that does not mean that this was a bad product, I really liked using this. I thought I would share it with you because, it also protects the color of your hair. I think this is perfect. A lot of shampoos tend to make your hair color look faded. When getting the shampoo and conditioner, my intensions were not to protect my hair color. I was just looking for a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. But people who dye their hair must try these out. Sulfate is no good for our hair. It strips our hair of its natural oils, so imagine what it could do to dyed hair.    L'Oreal Sulfate-Free Color Care System Shampoo and Conditioner: Besides this being sulfate-free, this is 100% vegan and contains no harsh chemicals. This shampoo and conditioner protects and conditions hair for a long lasting color purity. One of the most imp...

Candle of the week: Apples & Berries!

Apples and Berries are some of my favorite fruits, so to have them all in one candle is refreshing! It smells really good and the candle captures each scent of the fruits. This candle reminds me of dessert dishes: apples and berries crisp, apples and berries pies. These fruits can be used as a topping for pancakes and waffles! You can't eat the candle, but you can definitely make these recipes. When the candle is lit, it smells even better. The whole room is scented and it is just delicious. I usually light my candles at nighttime because, it's cold at night and you snuggle under the covers with some hot chocolate. You can find this candle at Walmart. This is small, so it's about $2.00.                                                  ...
