Get Healthy & Strong Hair Using Finesse® Restore + Strengthen Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner


With all of the Shampoos and Conditioners on the market it's really hard to choose something that will benefit both your hair and your bank account.  There are a few really great drug store brands out there that are inexpensive but deliver results just as good as the more expensive salon brands and Finesse® is one of them!
I have blonde hair that is chemically treated with highlights every couple of months and I'm still trying repair my hair from over processing it last year so I like a shampoo and conditioner that will help heal and strengthen my dry, damage hair as well as moisturize, nourish and help smooth out my frizzy ends.  The Finesse® Restore + Strengthen Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner does exactly that and even does it better than some other way pricier brands that I've tried.  Thanks to the active silk and soy proteins this duo leaves leaves my hair looking and feeling soft, silky and manageable.
I actually used the original Finesse religiously as a teenager.  I loved the way it made my hair look and feel back then too.  It also made my hair smell amazing and the new version still has the same lovely scent.  Fresh and clean, just the way I like it. 
Apparently I'm not the only one who loves the Finesse.  Kim Kardashian has been a longtime fan of the brand and now Kendall Jenner has become a fan as well.  So, don't just take my word for it!
You don't have to be on a budget to use Finesse®.  However, considering you can find the Finesse® Restore + Strengthen Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner at Walmart for only $1.98  AND it works wonders for keeping hair happy and healthy, it's a total steal!
As well as Walmart, you can also find Finesse® at Walgreens, Target, Rite Aid and many grocery chains such as Kroger, Shoprite, HEB, and Publix.  It's very accessible and very affordable.  Really, you just can't go wrong with Finesse®!

I've been using this oil on some face demons and I was shocked at how quickly they healed and disappeared.  However, my favorite way to use it is to have my husband massage it to my back and neck.  It helps soothe away all my aches and pains.  The best part is I don't have to take a ton of Ibuprofen or other medication, I love that!!!
Simple. Natural. Perfect.  Everyone should have this Copaiba Oil by UpNature on hand at all times.  I know I will never be without it!

Super Brightening Vitamin C Eye Gel by Joyal Beauty



Joyal Beauty has become one of my favorite skincare brands over the last couple of years.  I've been fortunate enough to test out quite a few of their products and they never disappoint.
I've been testing out this Super Brightening Vitamin C Eye Gel off and on for the last month and it's one I find reaching for on those morning when my eyes are looking and feeling especially tired and puffy.  The gel is really soothing and hydrating and it immediately get rids of my puffiness, plumps up my fine lines and wrinkles and makes me look more rested even when I've been up half the night with a puppy that won't sleep!
It's formulated with skin loving and anti-aging ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Cucumber, Vitamin C and Aloe Vera.  It not only delivers immediate results but in the long term it will help reduce the appearance of  deeper wrinkles and dark circles and help you look like a younger version of yourself.  Also, it's not just for the eye area.  It doubles as a face moisturizer as well.  So, if your looking to simplify your beauty routine this would be a great two-in-one option.  Plus, it's perfect for all skin types!

The Power Couple ~ Purifying Daily Detox Scrub & Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask by Derma-E


Derma-E is one of my top favorite skincare brands.  I always feel good about using one of their products because they are across the board ethical.  Plus, it doesn't hurt that the products themselves are amazing.  Speaking of their amazing products...I can't say enough amazing things about these two gems, the Purifying Daily Detox Scrub & the Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask!
I'm a fan of just about anything that has Activated Charcoal in it, especially skincare.  I find it works really well at removing impurities from my oily and sometimes temperamental skin.  So, that being said, I already knew these products were going to be a win for me.



I loved the Purifying Daily Detox Scrub the first time I tried it.  I loved how it not only left my skin feeling clean, soft and smooth but I really loved how it also left my skin feeling refreshed and revitalized.  Obviously, as a beauty blogger I test out a lot of products but I have find myself reaching for this scrub over and over again and constantly recommending it.  It has definitely earned a spot on my re-purchase list!
Formulated with powerful minerals and natural toxin fighters (ingredients) I think this scrub is a game changer.  It's is the perfect daily cleanser for someone with combination or oily, blemish-prone skin because it helps detox, decongest and heal the skin.  However, I also think someone with normal to dry skin would benefit from this scrub.  If your skin is looking a little dull this would be a great product to use a couple of times a week just to get rid of dead, flaky skin and environmental pollutants.  Just a little is all you need to reveal fresh and glowing skin!

As a self professed mask addict this Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask does everything a good mask should do (in my opinion).  With ingredients that help clear away dirt, oil, bacteria and other grime this mask will instantly make skin look and feel clean and fresh without leaving it feeling dry.  Say goodbye to congested pores and dead skin because it will all be washed away as you remove the mask.  After just one use you will notice your skin will be softer, smoother and renewed!  I would recommend this Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask for all skin types as well.  If your skin is really oily use it several times a week to keep pores clear, if you have dry skin then use it just once a week to help keep skin in check and give it a healthy glow!  
This Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask is another Derma-E product to add to my re-purchase list!


Make sure to check out the www.dermae.com for more information on these and other Derma-E products.  As always Derma-E  products are 100% vegan, cruelty-free, paraben free, sodium lauryl sulfate free, petrolatum free, mineral oil free, artificial color free, gluten free, soy free and even GMO free!  LOVE!!

Probiotic Concentrate & Probiotic Complex by Columbia Skincare


I am a firm believer in Probiotics and take a Probiotic supplement just about everyday.  However, putting Probiotics on my face is a totally new concept to me.
I can safely say I have never tried anything quite like the Probiotic Concentrate & Probiotic Complex by Columbia Skincare.  When I think of these two products two words immediately pop into my head.  Luxurious and skin loving.  Okay, technically that's three words.  Nonetheless, these two products are heavenly.
I have been using these Probiotic products for about three to four weeks now and my both my skin and I have fallen in love.  The Probiotic Concentrate is a fantastic serum that is comprised of probiotics (good bacteria) plant stem cells and peptides.  I like to apply this serum on my face as part of my morning and evening routine after cleansing and toning.  It immediately sinks into the skin leaving it feeling soft and hydrated.  The Probiotic Complex is a nice thick cream and also contains the probiotics (good bacteria) plant stem cells and peptides.  Since this cream is on the thicker side I usually only apply it to my face in the evening after the serum.  However, I LOVE to use this in the morning and evening on my neck and decollete.  It's a lovely cream that is intensely hydrating and soothing.  My skin is more soft, smooth and supple immediately after using these products.  It really is instant gratification and I highly recommend both!
As a special offer for my readers Columbia Skincare is offering a FREE Columbia Restorative Hydrating Cream or Columbia Ultimate Skin Repair Cream, a $38.00 value with the purchase of either product.  Use code: ProbioticGift at checkout.
The Probiotic Concentrate retails for $190.00.  To purchase or for more information make go to columbiaprobiotics.com.  Use code: ProbioticGift at checkout.

The Probiotic Complex retails for $165.00.  To purchase or for more information make go to columbiaprobiotics.com.  Use code: ProbioticGift at checkout.

Pomegranate Shimmer Light Lotion by Juicy Skin Care



Summer is just around the corner and Spring is the perfect time to start bringing out some sparkle!
Adding a bit of shimmer can really be done year round but for me Spring and Summer are usually the only times that I want to be drawing attention to myself.  We have a pretty harsh winter where I live so I tend to put on a little winter weight and I definitely don't concern myself with tanning!  So, it's time to start shedding that winter weight, bringing out the self-tanner and bringing some shimmer back into my life!
This Pomegranate Shimmer Light Lotion by Juicy Skin Care adds the perfect amount of shimmer just where you want it.  Personally, I like to add a little to my collar bone area and shoulders.  I've even put a little on my brow bone and used it as a highlighter!  The possibilities are endless...
I could see using this as all over body shimmer come summertime.  I also like that it's buildable.  For a little sparkle just add a thin layer.  If you really want to shine just add some more!  It makes skin look smooth, soft and silky and it has a lovely Pomegranate scent.  This is definitely a spring/summer MUST HAVE!







You can find this Pomegranate Shimmer Light Lotion by Juicy Skin Care over on juicyskincare.net or you can also find it on Amazon.com...
