    Spring Cleaning Giveaway | Creme of Nature

    Hey Loves!

    I hope your weekend went well. Happy Belated Mother’s Day to all of you mothers and mother-figures out there. :) I decided (super last minute) to surprise my Mommy in Cali for Mother’s Day. I flew standby on Friday night and rented a car so that I could just show up (I like to see the shock factor). She was super happy, which is all I could ask for. Now…getting back from Cali was another type of situation.

    That Stand-by Life: Flying standby on Sunday wasn’t even an option as the weather in Dallas was atrocious. So I extended my rental car and decided to stay another day. Monday was equally bad….I turned in the car but didn’t get onto any flights! I got a hotel room close to the airport so that I could try to catch an EARLY flight (this morning) where my Mom met me. I took her to dinner and a movie (AVENGERS!). This morning was a struggle! I had to be at the airport at 4:40am….arrived in Dallas at noon and came straight to the J-O-B!  Of course I worked Monday too. ALL of dat to say > Apologies for the late post for the 1st Spring Cleaning Giveaway, but those you who follow me on IG got a head start last week anyway!!!

    Let’s get to it! Recently, I tried the new Creme of Nature products: Pure-licious Co-Wash Cleansing Conditioner & the Argan Buttermilk Leave-In Hair Milk!

  • Wash n Go Style with Design Essentials

    Wash n Go Style with Design Essentials

    PRODUCT REVIEW  & GIVEAWAY TIME!

    Recently I was sent four Design Essentials products to try out. The first thing I noticed was the yummy smell of each product.  Then OF COURSE like any true Naturalista I turned over each container and took a look at the ingredients. I was super excited to learn that the the Detangling Leave-In Conditioner and the Daily Moisturizing Lotion were silicone free!  I have nothing against silicones generally, but some products contain HEAVY silicones when they need not to. These products were also free of parabens which is always a plus!

    Products I reviewed:

    The KG Lifestyle & Design EssentialsI loved each and every product sent to me! The smell, the texture (no sticky icky stuff going on) and I didn’t have to use a whole lot. My favorite product? The Daily Moisturizing Lotion. This lotion kept my hair REALLY moisturized during the week. Because I wash n go once a week it’s super important to keep my hair moisturized and this product did just that. I can show you better than I can tell you though.

    The Hair…Lately

    Versatility!

    I’m here for it, all day errday. I love changing up my look and using different styles to help me reflect how I’m feeling. I’ve been all over the place lately and my hair has reflected that.

    Check out my latest hairstyles and let me know if you’ve tried any of them lately!

  • Wash ‘n’ Go using CatWalk!

    I tried a wash ‘n’ go Saturday and it came out pretty poofy. I used CatWalk’s Curls Rock Curl Amplifier. It felt great going on but I had major shrinkage. I wore a bun all day Sunday and Monday. So last night after my workout I ran some water over it and tried adding two more pumps of the CatWalk. Bunned that up and slept on it. This morning my hair was still damp but by pulling it up in the bun while still wet I got a little bit of stretch (less shrinkage). Decided to rock this for today. I love the definition. Tonight I’m doing a flexi-rod set to prep for my trip home! It’s the best style because it requires even less maintenance than my flat ironed hair! 

    OH and if you weren’t aware Shea Moisture is on sale again at Walgreens for Buy 1 Get One Free! My rain checks are null and void now because getting a free product trumps getting one for 1/2 off !!! Maybe I’ll order online at walgreens.com (that way I’m not searching for the products I want).
