Hi all! Happy Saturday! I hope you are doing well and staying safe.
Since I’m staying home for the time being, I thought it would be fun to test out some self care items I have recently received for my honest review.
I have been enjoying testing these out. Here’s more info about each product:
Ban Purely Gentle Roll-On Deodorant ($10.58 for 2-pack at Amazon.com) — This deodorant claims to give 24-hour odor and wetness protection. It did last a long time for me and has a unique, non-irritating formula that glides onto skin clear and is less likely to leave white marks under arms and on clothes.
John Frieda Day 2 Revival Dry Conditioner $9.49 USD at CVS.com) — This cool product detangles, defrizzes and adds softness and shine to unwashed hair. A hydrating acai & avocado dry oil blend reignites shine without leaving a heavy or greasy residue or weighing hair down. And it smells so nice!
Daily Concepts Daily Lip Scrubber ($6 USD) — The Daily Lip Scrubber is a silicone lip brush that allows gentle exfoliation and circulation for plump, smooth and soft lips. The handle and the finger hole are designed for convenient use and easy application. It works as the perfect stimulator to increase blood circulation and to remove dry skin.
Multi-Functional Soap Sponge Mother of Pearl ($8 USD) — Clarifying, exfoliating, radiance enhancing, dual purpose soap sponge perfect for clarifying skin. This innovative and multifunctional design is soap infused with a sponge. You can see in the photos that one side is soap and the other is a sponge. It’s perfect for exfoliating face or body depending on your comfort level. There is also a charcoal version ($8 USD).
I am glad I got to try all of these products and I will continue to use the.
What are your favorite or newest self care products?
The cold air is really doing a number on my hair and making it fly-away and frizzy. I definitely have to use some sort of anti-frizz product during the winter!
I’ve received some John Frieda Frizz Ease products for my honest review. They have also given the following three steps for hair guaranteed to stay frizz free all winter long:
Step 1: Apply Frizz Ease Extra Strength Serum ($8.99 USD) to soaking wet hair to protect each dehydrated strand against the onset of frizz. Style as desired.
Step 2: Once hair is dry and styled, use Frizz Ease Secret Weapon Touch Up Créme on flyaways, static frizz, and split ends to create a supple, shiny finish and silky touch.
I really do love these products! I have used them before and I am happy to have them in my routine again. They all work beautifully (and are all really affordable), but if I had to recommend just one, my favorite is the Touch Up Creme. It really works on dry, frizzy hair! Just apply a bit and disperse with a comb or fingers. I then brush it through. My hair looks very shiny and healthy after applying this!
You can purchase these products at Walmart and other great mass market retailers!
What do you like to use for frizzies and fly-aways?
Hi all! Happy Monday! I hope you’re week has started off well. I’m on vacation this week and my daughter is is town, so I’m doing great!
I thought I’d feature some newer to me hair care I’ve been testing out lately. I have a fun array — shampoo and conditioner, hair masks and temporary hair color spray:
Derma E Therapeutic Shampoo & Conditioner. It is the Scalp Relief line. ($22.50 for the set) — This doctor-developed, clinically tested formula works in four ways to gently cleanse, de-flake, soothe and nourish the scalp and hair. Using proprietary Therapeutic Psorzema® Herbal Blend plus healthful vitamins and botanicals, this shampoo calms a dandruff-prone, itchy, irritated scalp and refreshes the hair, from root to tip.
Both Shampoo and conditioner enriched with:
Therapeutic Psorzema® Herbal Blend (Neem, Burdock and Bearberry): replenishes a dry, irritated, scaling scalp, helping to promote optimum scalp and hair health.
Tea Tree and Menthol: help calm and cool itch on contact and help maintain scalp purity over time.
Salicylic Acid: penetrates to lift away excess flakes and surface buildup.
I love how these products calms my itchy scalp, but also really hydrate the hair. These products are nice for every day use, or once a week for a treatment.
John Frieda Wonder Drops Hair Masks
John Frieda Wonder Drops Hair Masks ($3.49 at Walmart and select Grocery Outlets) — Four targeted hairmasks that transform hair in a matter of minutes. Designed to treat hair suffering from frizz, fading, damage or dullness, each mask revives hair with a single in-shower application.

What hair products are you using this summer? Let me know!
Hi all! I hope your are enjoying spring and that your weather has improved. It’s much nicer now in Kansas City!
I have been testing a lot of new products this spring. I’ve decided to feature a few here that have been helping my skin and hair this spring, plus a waterproof cream eyeshadow:
Bioré Blue Agave + Baking Soda Balancing Pore Cleanser
Bioré Blue Agave + Baking Soda Instant Warming Clay Mask
Bioré Blue Agave + Baking Soda Balancing Pore Cleanser ($5.99 USD): Developed especially for those with combination skin, this everyday cleanser deep cleans the oily parts while smoothing and conditioning the rough, dry parts— for balanced, conditioned skin. Not only does it remove deep down dirt and impurities from the pores, but it gently exfoliating away dead cells, allowing healthy cells to emerge. With continued daily use, you’ll achieve softer, smoother skin and a more balanced complexion.
Bioré Blue Agave + Baking Soda Instant Warming Clay Mask ($5.99 USD): Sometimes your skin needs a little extra TLC—plus, what better way to take a selfie—if not with a blue mask on! Designed to purify and refine skin by absorbing excess oils, this instant warming mask opens pores and melts away that pore-clogging dirt, oil, and sebum—leaving your skin clean, soft and refreshed. This warming clay mask, formulated to deep clean pores, is pH balanced for comfortably clean skin. This mask has a unique self-heating technology that is activated when massaged into the skin. This thermal formula in conjunction with purifying and skin toning clays optimize the mask’s ability to deep clean and purify.
What I think: I have combination skin, so these products are great for me! I also think they would work well for normal-oily skin. The cleanser really cleans my skin without drying it out. Plus, it doesn’t irritate it. My skin is sensitive, too, especially during allergy season. The mask is really fun it use. Because my skin is sensitive, I can only do this about once a week, and since there are four in the pack, it’s a months worth. I love the blue shade and how well it cleans out my pores. It leaves my skin very soft!

What I think: I these in the shades E115 Purple and E104 Grey Brown. I have found that these work so well as base shades. They are both fairly deep, but I can use them in my crease or all over the lid. I can keep the look matte or add a shimmer on top. These also work nicely as liners, because they are smudge and waterproof. Gorgeous quality! And, let’s not forget the cool silver bullet packaging!
John Frieda Wonder Drops Hair Masks ($3.49 USD) Four targeted hair masks that transform hair in a matter of minutes. Designed to treat hair suffering from frizz, fading, damage or dullness, each mask revives hair with a single in-shower application. Simply shampoo, squeeze out excess moisture and massage the Wonder Drops throughout wet hair.
Available in: Frizz Smoothing, Blonde Brightening, Damage Repairing and Vibrancy Enhancing
What I think: I have already tried the Frizz Smoothing and Damage Repairing. The Frizz Smoothing mask really helped cut my frizz down a lot! This will be so nice to have in the summer when the humidity kills my hair. The Damage Repairing Mask is nice for damaged hair. Mine isn’t too bad right now, but I do need a haircut to get rid of split ends! The mask did help my hair and made it shiny and more manageable.
I have very dark brown hair, so I’m going to give the Blond Brightening mask to a blond friend and the Vibrancy Enhancing to my redhead daughter! It seems there’s a mask for most hair types!

It was so cold in Kansas City last week, one day it was -5! But it has warmed up and was in the 40’s today. It felt balmy!
This week I have been loving a French no-rinse cleanser and products to help my hair stay smooth in the cold winter air:
Collosol Eau de Lait
Collosol Eau de Lait ($18 USD) — A moisturizing milk/micellar water hybrid, this thorough but gentle cleanser can be applied with a cotton pad to remove makeup, moisturize and soothe stinging skin. No rinsing with water is required—a good thing since the limestone in tap water can be irritating to parched, wind-shipped skin. The universal formula is also suited to all skin types, from sensitive to dry to oily/acne-prone.
What I think: First, this is really fragrant. It’s floral like gardenias or jasmine, I can’t put my finger on the scent. It’s nice, though. It’s a milky liquid, and I apply with to a cotton pad. IT removes makeup very well and leaves my face so soft. You can also add it to bath water to soften skin. I haven’t tried it yet, but I might tomorrow after my workout.
A French skincare classic created in Paris in the 1950s, Collosol Eau de Lait can now be found in the U.S. at smallflower.com
John Frieda Hair Care Frizz Ease Collection($6.99 each) — Check out the newstatement making look for John Frieda Hair Care’s classic Frizz Ease collection. The iconic purple that has accented the products for years will now be the primary focus, making this collection of frizz-fighters bolder and brighter than ever. My favorites from the collection are:
Secret Weapon Touch-Up Crème (3rd from left in photo) — This versatile smoothing cream, applied to dry strands, instantly transforms puffy, parched style. Creates a supple, shiny finish and silky touch. For use on flyaways, static frizz, and split ends. This is perfect for the cold weather, my hair gets flyaways and this smooths them right out.
Air Dry Waves Styling Foam (4th from left) — Get defined curls without the need for heated styling tools. Infused with moringa oil and a unique blend of polymers, this featherweight curly hair styler helps control frizz for perfectly smooth waves and curls. Non-sticky foam dries quickly, creating a flexible film that cleverly stretches as curl bundles expand while drying, keeping the curl intact. My hair dries wavy, so I love to use this to define my curls while my hair dries.
Extra Strength 6 Effects+ Serum (2nd from right) — Expertly formulated with a unique blend of silicones. Protect each dehydrated strand against the onset of frizz. Boosts shine. With silk proteins and algae extract, this frizzy hair serum smoothes for more manageable and lustrous results, and provides heat protection. I apply this to soaking wet hair everywhere but my roots. When my hair dries, its soft and smooth.
