Embracing My Curls with SheaMoisture

#HairGoals for the win! Every gal wants a good hair day, the struggle however…finding the right products to get you there! Being a beauty influencer, I have tried multiple brands of hair care products from high end to drugstore brand + each had traits I liked but none of them had the whole package (as silly as that sounds). Luckily I found my saving grace…SheaMoisture!.

I’ve discovered that their products work great on my wavy hair! My hair is not coarse but it does get knotty with my keratin extensions AND it is long, color treated + needs a ton of love, care + attention.

What I love about SheaMoisture is that their products are affordable (I snagged mine at Walmart for under $20!!) but they work as great as some of the prestige brands. I tried the 100% Extra Virgin Coconut Oil Head To Toe Nourishing Hydration, Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Shampoo, Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Conditioner.

All of the products are readily available at my local Walmart store or you can order online and pickup in store too. I love doing this at Walmart because it’s super convenient when you realize you are running low on product and forget to pick them up.

The Curl & Shine Shampoo Coconut & Hibiscus + the Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Conditioner (LINK) have become my new go-to when I wash my hair. They help smooth my hair and avoid frizz, make my hair easier to brush through to avoid tangles + knots from my extensions AND they leave my hair with a shine as if I just left the salon. I washed my hair the day before I curled it and look at how shiny my hair looks a day later!

The 100% Extra Virgin Coconut Oil Head to Toe Nourishing Hydration is great for when my color treated hair needs a little extra attention. It helps restore and hydrate it after a little too much bleach, chlorine or sun. It also smells delicious (don’t you love when your hair smells so good all you want to do is sniff it all day? Haha :P)! This product is also great to use after washing your hair and letting it air dry. I tend to wash my hair a day or so after I use styling tools on it and I feel like my hair is begging for hydration so I usually wash and condition and then follow up with a treatment like this one. I will allow my hair to air dry in order to give it a break from the heat for little while.

Pampered At Parfaire…

April 20, 2018

Happy Friday Babes ♥

Last weekend I had a full on day of pampering at Parfaire Medical Aesthetics in Pasadena (because what better way to spend the weekend than with a little self love at the spa? :p) I have always been an avid believer in treating yourself, taking time to recharge + relax and to keep a healthy skincare routine going. My struggle? Having enough time to do all of that! Between work, blogging, events + travel, making time for pampering + recharging can be a challenge (do ya feel me?)…

Luckily, my trip to Parfaire was a huge success because they have the perfect treatment for ladies on the go that need a refreshed and rejuvenated look in less than an hour with their ‘Red Carpet Lift‘! Think face lift but one that is non-invasive, feels good + is quick + easy with no down time…amazing, right?! That is how it got the name ‘Red Carpet‘ because you can literally get it the same day you need to head to an event (or even a red carpet perhaps hehe)!

The results you get in under an hour are truly amazing – just look at one of their testimonials below (next time I am totally taking before and after photos)!!

The treatment leaves your skin looking and feeling tighter, youthful and more radiant!

While this can be done anywhere on the face, neck or body, the treatment is incredibly effective on:

Crow’s feet
Under eye bags
Saggy eyelids
Fine lines around nose, mouth, forehead and jawline
Lax neck
Double chins

This treatment can also tighten and reduce loose skin on other areas of your body caused from liposuction, aging, and/or rapid weight loss. Pretty amazing right?

See how the treatment works below!!

Are you ready to get a little lift?

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Olay. The opinions and text are all mine.

Ready to G L O W? I definitely am! With spring in full swing, I am sporting my favorite dresses, skirts + showing plenty of skin. How does a gal prepare to show a little skin? With Olay Cleansing Infusions! From great smelling to smooth application, the Olay Cleansing Infusions are becoming my newest obsession.

I was beyond excited to add these new products to my skincare routine to prep for the warmer temperatures (I mean what gal doesn’t want to have silky smooth skin with a great glow when strutting your stuff in your new spring look?)

I have been using the Olay Infusions Hydrating Glow Body Wash to get my legs + arms spring ready! Getting glowing skin can be a challenge, especially if you don’t have time to try multiple products to achieve that look. Luckily with Olay Infusions, it has everything you need to get your glow on in just a few days of use.

The perfect skincare combo is to pair the Olay Infusions Hydrating Glow Body Wash with Olay Infusions Hydrating Glow Facial Cleanser, together these products help you get soft, hydrated, glowing skin that gives you a refreshed + sun kissed look. With my busy schedule + upcoming events/trips, these Olay products are amazing to get my skin in check for the warmer season ahead (especially because I live in skirts + dresses).

The Olay Infusions Hydrating Glow Facial Cleanser is great to use day + night. It not only gives my face a healthy glow, but it also brightens me up in the morning + leaves my skin feeling awake and refreshed (now that is a great way to wake up)!

Another amazing bonus about the Olay Cleansing Infusions line? The great scents! Who doesn’t love the smell of Deep Sea Kelp with Aloe Extract and Crushed Ginger with Citrus Extract? I sure do!

Are you ready to get your G L O W on? Stock up on these Olay Infusions products at your local Walgreens and online here!

Ebanel Laboratories Skincare Review…

Happy Monday Loves ♥

I hope ya’ll had a great weekend – I sure did minus my flu like symptoms coming back but hey I guess that’s just what’s happening this season. One thing that always cheers me up (even when feeling sick) is taking care of my skin. Every time I apply new products to my skin I get excited to see the results + I feel like I am giving myself mini spa treatments (as corny as that sounds). Being a beauty blogger comes with the perks of being able to test out new products all the time but not all of them are winners + I get hesitant when it comes to trying products on my face since I have sensitive skin (if you’ve been following my blog you know I struggle with acne prone combination skin).

Today I am sharing my feedback on Ebanel Laboratories Skincare line available on Amazon!

From face wash to acne treatments to moisturizer + more, Ebanel Skincare is a one line that I am currently obsessed with because they have great quality products at an affordable price. I have tried out a few of their products + wanted to share what I am loving about them with ya’ll so maybe you’ll take the chance + give them a whirl! Great skincare is always a good idea if you ask me!

I tend to experience breakouts quite often + am always on the hunt for new treatments that accurately treat acne but don’t dry out your skin…that’s why when I tried the Ebanel Skincare Acne Spot Treatment I was beyond excited because it reminded me of the Mario Badescu Dry Lotion which I have loved for years but sometimes it dries out my skin.

The treatment is amazing! Simply dab some of the product on any acne spots you may have (even if you feel a zit coming on – this always happens to me) it really gets rid of any acne spots! It’s fast and effective so it zaps those zits away so they don’t get in the way of any special moments to come!

I’ve also been using the Ebanel Skincare Brightening Peel Gel Cleanser every morning and then the Ebanel Skincare Sherbert Stem Cell Cleanser every evening. The two cleansers work in different ways but both provide amazing results.

The Ebanel Skincare Brightening Peel Gel Cleanser helps remove dead skin, unclog pores + give your skin a real deep cleaning leaving it feel fresh to start the day. The Ebanel Skincare Sherbert Stem Cell Cleanser helps you remove your makeup at the end of the day, rehydrate fatigued skin + leave you with a nice glow!

Last but not least, the Ebanel Skincare Stem Cell Moisturizer!

This moisturizer is great! It helps prevent wrinkles, rejuvenates your skin + helps reduce and fade acne scares – this is a MUST for me!

All in all – the products I tried from Ebanel were pretty amazing + at an affordable price point (and Prime shipping eligible on Amazon) you have to give them a try!

Olay Whips…

February 9, 2018

Leave a comment

Struggling with winter skin problems? Yea, I feel ya. With winter months my combination skin is always acting up. One day it is oily + I am breaking out and the next day I have dry skin + am peeling…sometimes you can’t win…or can you? 😉 I found my magic potion to cure my #winterskinproblems! What is it you ask? Olay Whips!

So here is my constant struggle + from chatting with my girlfriends it seems to be quite common…moisturizers are essential to achieve healthy skin but sometimes they make your skin oily. With my combination skin, I am always searching for a moisturizer that helps hydrate my skin but does so without feeling heavy on my skin…that’s why when I discovered Olay Whips I was super excited to give it a go.

Olay Whips (available now at Walgreen’s) feel light as air and are delightfully whipped for instant absorption on your skin. The weightless formula leaves your skin feeling soft & smooth with a matte finish (making your skin smooth to the touch). Honestly what I love most about this product is that it almost acts as a primer too, applying your makeup after applying Olay Whips goes on beyond smooth.

If you are opting to go all natural with your beauty look + just go out with nothing but your moisturizer on, luckily Olay Whips has a brightening formula which helps even your skin tone + minimize the appearance of pores! This is a major win for me – I have been applying Olay Whips before the gym + I look like I am glowing while working up a sweat spinning.

With a price tag under $30, Olay Whips is a MUST to add to your skin routine. Check out the full line of whip options at Walgreen’s and you’ll see just what I’m talking about! Click HERE!
