Trying My First Natural Hair Products

I love trying new hair products.  I've suffered from dandruff my whole life so I'm always looking for ways to help it.  When Maple Holistics reached out to me asking me if I wanted to try their tea tree shampoo and conditioner.  I immediately said yes.  I've been testing them out for about two months now.  I have a lot of thoughts so lets get into it.

First of all I love the packaging.  Most natural products seem boring but I like how they really focus on how it looks.  The first thing I did was smell it.  I HATE how tea tree oil smells but this smells amazing!  The lavender overpowers the tea tree scent which I really appreciate.  I also love the price.  Most natural products are insanely expensive but the shampoo is $8 and the conditioner is $12.  That is a HUGE bonus!

Let's talk about how it worked for me.  I loved it!  My dandruff cleared up after about 3 washes which is great.  The only problem I had was that it didn't lather up.  It made me feel like it wasn't cleaning my hair even though it was.  Overall I definitely recommend it!  The coolest thing about Maple Holistics is the free sample program.  Just click here and fill out the form.  It's that easy!  They have bath products, oils, and a bunch of other natural products.  Go check them out!

♥My November Ipsy Bag♥

I never thought I would sign up for any monthly subscription bags or boxes.  I just never saw the point.  Finally two of my friends convinced me to try Ipsy.  I am now obsessed!!!  I've been getting bags since August but I finally decided to share what I get.  If you don't know what Ipsy is then let me explain.  For $10 a month you get a bag with 5 beauty products.  The bag equals around $50-$60 worth of products so that's an amazing deal.  When you sign up you take a beauty test so your bag is customized for you.  It comes every month and you can cancel anytime.  Let's see what is in my bag!

Let's start with the bag.  Every month is a new design and I'm in love this one!  You will either get silver or gold constellations.  I think the gold looks better though.  It is slightly metallic which I love.  The zipper is also a gold star.

This is the Adesse New York Brightening Base Coat.  You put this on before painting your nails or just use it on it's own.  It prevents your nails from being yellow it also makes your polish last longer.  It is also cruelty free.  I'm very excited to try this product.

This is the Luxie Rose Gold Small Duo Fiber Brush 524T.  This brush is SUPER  soft!  It can be used with powders, creams, or liquids.  It's easy to blend with and it is great for sensitive skin.  Plus who wouldn't want this adorable brush in their collection?

This is the Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream.  This is for anti-aging.  You put this on your face after you've washed your face in the mornings.  I'm not sure if I will use this or not.  I might give it to my mom but you never know.  It's never too early to work on anti-aging and wrinkles.

This is the STARLOOKS Cream Eye Shadow in Rose Gold.  I've never used a cream shadow before but I really like it.  You can also use it as a liner.  It is metallic which I love.  It is very long lasting and very blendable.

Last up is the theBalm Cosmetics Mad Lash Mascara.  I love this!!  Mascaras are my favorite product anyway.  The wand is curved to really give your lashes volume.  It grabs every single lash.  This is also a cruelty free product.

Overall, I loved this month's bag.  It had a nice range of products which I like.  Also the bag design won me over.  My favorite product is probably the base coat because I constantly have my nails painted.  Do you get an Ipsy bag?  If so, what was your favorite product?

Weekly Obsession!

It's been a crazy busy day today which is why this post is late.  I didn't forget though!  My weekly obsession is.....Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray!!!!!!!  First of all I LOVE this brand.  I own a couple of their other products and they are fantastic.  I bought this spray in summer and never got a chance to use it.  Now that I cut my hair I use it pretty much daily.  You can put on wet or dry hair which is perfect.  It really does make your hair look like you spent the day in the ocean.  It also smells SO good!  It's a really affordable product.  I paid $6 which is what other products in this brand are as well.  You won't regret checking this out!!!  What are you loving?

Weekly Obsession!

It's been awhile since I've shared an obsession.  Don't worry I'm back!  My weekly obsession is...Watermelon Lemonade body spray!!  To be honest I've been loving the entire range from Bath and Body Works.  I was drawn in by the packaging because it's super girly and cute.  Also I wanted a nice summer smell.  I immediately purchased the soap, spray, and lotion without even smelling it.  I'm SO glad I did!  It's obviously fruity but also refreshing.  It isn't super sweet which is nice.  I just can't get enough!!!  What are you loving?

My 2016 Summer Nail Polish Colors

Hey everybody!  I'm SO glad that summer is coming very soon.  I've been into painting my nails lately so I went shopping for the perfect colors.  I found six colors that I will be wearing all summer long.  What is your go to nail polish?

This is Chillato by Essie.  It's a pistachio green color.  I fell in love with this color last year and then I forgot to buy it.  I'm glad I finally have it.

This is Peach Side Babe by Essie.  I also fell in love with this color last year.  It's the perfect coral peachy color.  This will look excellent with a tan!

This is Skylark by Sinful Colors.  I'm OBSESSED with this color!!!!  This is a peach color.  I picked it out the second I saw it.

This is Mint 2 B Cool by Sinful Colors.  This is a light blue/aqua color.  I never really go for colors like this so I went out of my comfort zone.  I think it will look great.

This is Let's Talk by Sinful Colors.  I love shiny colors so I obviously needed this.  It's a dark purple color,  I will probably put glitter with this.

This is Innocent by Sinful Colors.  It's a neon green color.  I love neon especially during summer.  It makes you look more tan.

Ulta Haul!!!!

OMG you guys I feel like I've been missing out!  I never understood how amazing Ulta was until now.  I went in for one thing and came out with a full bag!  The deals were just too good!  I thought I would share what I bought in case you want to try these products too.  What's your favorite thing at Ulta?

I went to Ulta for a blow dryer because mine is pretty much dead.  My cousin is a hair stylist so I asked her what the best brand was.  So I got the Hot Tools Tourmaline Ionic Professional.  This is what most salons use.  I love it!  It has 6 heat settings, it's lightweight, and it's quiet.  It's definitely an investment but worth it!

I bought a pack of Alligator Clips.  I use these when I style my hair mostly.  I did think these were expensive.  I paid $6 for only 3.  They do work though and no creases are left behind.

My hair is always full of tangles no matter what I do.  I bought this Wet Brush just to see if it works.  I really like it!  I noticed a difference right away.  It works on dry hair too.  Try it out if you have tangled hair too.

I am addicted to the brand Not Your Mother's so when I saw it was buy one get one 50% off I couldn't resist.  I bought the dry shampoo which is my favorite.  It makes your hair look clean and feel super soft.  It's the best!

I also got the volumizing hairspray because mine is almost empty.  I haven't tried this yet but my friend told me it's amazing.  Let me know if you want a review.

Next I bought the texturizing sea salt spray.  I love products like this because it takes 5 minutes to have cute hair.  You can spray this on wet or dry hair and then style it.  I'm excited to try it!

Lastly I got the thermal spray.  You can never have enough heat protector.  I'll be using this soon so I'll let you know.

I've wanted to try The Body Shop for awhile now.  I love that they are cruelty free.  They also had buy one get one 50% off so I took advantage.  I got 4 body butters.  The scents are Honeymania, Pink Grapefruit, Mango, and Coconut.  They smell amazing!!  I bought these for my spa nights which is every Sunday.

HUGE Clothing Haul!

I told myself I wasn't going to buy anymore clothes for awhile.  I totally failed!  I got a bunch of emails with a ton of sales.  I just couldn't resist!  I'm a girl and shopping is just my guilty pleasure.  I know you girls understand me.  I bought from Boohoo and Kohls.  These are my go to stores.  Everything I bought was on sale plus extra percentages off.  What stores do you love?  Enjoy!

We'll start with Boohoo first.  I've been wanting a leather jacket for a super long time but I refuse to pay $300.  This was only $37 and it's AMAZING quality.  If you saw my My Galentine's Day post then you can see how I paired it.

Sunglasses are my life!  Last year I wanted a round pair but also a mirrored pair.  Good thing I waited because this is both in one.  I'm obsessed!

The last thing from Boohoo are also sunglasses.  I love the gold frame a lot!  Plus the lens change different colors when you move.

Next up is Kohls.  I really wanted dressier tops because I have a few formal events.  I love the print and it really isn't a color I wear a lot.  I'm expanding!

I'm a sucker for graphic tees!  Ninja Turtles just reminds me of childhood.

I'm obsessed with crochet clothing right now.  I also have no striped clothing so I picked this up.

Notice a trend yet?  I loved this color and it looks super cozy!

This my favorite thing I bought!  It's faux leather and the sleeves are sweater material.  I've seen these everywhere but they were not in my budget.  This was only $22!

Who doesn't need sweats?  I love the sequin detail though.  It just makes them more classy.

I love peplum anything but I just never buy it.  I liked that this was casual but you could dress it up.

Basically my motto in life!

I wanted a nice dress for Easter and I thought this print was perfect.  It's great for spring as well.

Lastly I bought three of the same racerback tanks.  Bright colors are my thing!  These are perfect for summer.  Plus they were only $8 each!

This week my obsession is not about food surprisingly.  I feel like 90% are about food because I just like trying new things.  My weekly obsession is.........Faux Leather Leggings!!  To be honest I'm obsessed with all leggings lately but these are my favorite.  Last month I did a HUGE wardrobe update.  I needed a few dressier items and stuff for fall/winter.  I bought everything on Kohl's website and I got bonus cash.  So I decided to buy legging and I fell in love with them.  They are SUPER comfortable and stretchy.  You can dress them up or down which I really like.  They look like real leather too.  I only paid $20 and it's amazing quality.  If you are looking for a good quality faux leather leggings then check these out.  What are you loving this week?

Weekly Obsession!

I started cleaning out my drawers to get ready for the fall.  I found a product that I had forgotten all about.  My weekly obsession is...Pure Seduction body mist!!!!  I have been in love with this for probably 7 or 8 years.  Then about 3 years ago I bought the spring bloom version and just started using that one.  I've now fallen back in love with the original.  It is a fruity scent but it has a darker floral hint to it.  I'm not good at describing scents so here is the official description: A flirty, floral fragrance. Entice in Pure Seduction, a passionate romance of succulent red plum and sweet freesia. Experience the luxury of fragrance. Refreshing formula is infused with conditioning aloe vera and calming chamomile. Spray on for a sexy touch of scent.  I prefer wearing it at night but you could wear it during the day as well.  What is your fall scent?

Weekly Obsession!

I am all about quick and easy food.  I tend to get bored fairly easy so I like to switch it up.  This week I rediscovered a favorite...sort of.  My weekly obsession is...Hot Pockets!  I've eaten many hot pockets as a kid but I just forgot about them.  It's not just any hot pockets that I'm obsessed with.  I'm loving the four cheese pizza flavor!  I'm not gonna lie I ate 2 boxes in 2 days.  In my defense, there are only 2 in a box.  The best part is the crust because it's garlic butter flavor.  They honestly taste like a pizza but in a pocket form.  These are great if you are on the go as well.  I just can't get enough!!!  What is your favorite flavor?

Brownie Batter Oreo Review

Just when I thought Oreo couldn't do any better than their S'mores flavor they proved me wrong.  I never thought I would see brownie batter and a cookie combined.  It happened though at it is everything imagined!  I thought I share my thoughts with you.

I'm not gonna lie I was nervous right away because when I opened the package it smells very strongly of coffee.  This is great if you are a coffee fan which I'm not.  Then I looked at the actual cookies and they are SUPER dark.  I think it's because the filling is brown.  I just decided to go for it!  At first it just tasted like a chocolate cookie and I was disappointed.  Suddenly it just changes to a brownie flavor and you are INSTANTLY hooked!  I honestly don't know how they did it!

At first I preferred the S'mores Oreo's better but now I'm changing my mind.  I've had to limit myself to two cookies at a time.  If I didn't I would eat the entire package.  I highly recommend these!  It says limited edition so go get them SOON!  Have you tried these cookies yet?  Share your thoughts!

Weekly Obsession!

I'm going to be going back to school next month.  That means it's time to buy new clothes!  Last year my all time favorite store closed.  I was SUPER upset!  It is now back!!!!!  My weekly obsession is...Delia's!  I can't even explain how excited I am that this store is back.  I absolutely love all of their clothing.  I'd say about 80% of my wardrobe is from them.  It is only an online store now but I'm fine with that.  The sizing chart they use is very accurate.  I've never had a problem with my size.  I love the deals as well.  I just put everything in my cart and wait until I feel the price is acceptable.  Last year I put a pair of shorts that were about $32 and I waited and got them for $7!  I'm all about the deals!  The quality is also really good.  My favorite items are the graphic tee's.  I highly recommend that you go check them out!  Be looking out for a haul soon!!!!!  What is your favorite store?

Weekly Obsession!

It has been SUPER hot here lately.  I mean it's been about 98 degrees every day!  This weeks obsession is a necessity.  My weekly obsession is...Ice Cream.  I just love ice cream especially during the summer.  I've been eating it at least once a day.  I don't even care if it's not healthy.  The kind I've been eating lately is called Birthday Blast.  It is basically me in an ice cream form.  It's a vanilla base with cake pieces and sprinkles.  It is heavenly!  I'm so glad I spotted it in the store.  Eating ice cream really does cool you down quickly.  Plus it's delicious!  What is your favorite ice cream flavor?  I'll eat anything as long as fruit isn't involved!  It just doesn't mix well for me.  Let me know in the comments!
