Channel Take Over!  Shea Moisture Baby Lotion Review (w/ Gabe & Mike!)

7/31/2014

4 Comments

 
Picture
    Today, Gabriel and Micah take over the channel with their review of Shea Moisture's Baby Lotions!  I actually purchased these lotions back in May, so we've had quite some time to see how their skin responded to the lotions.  I mentioned before, that Micah had baby eczema when he was younger and although he had gotten a little older, his skin still had certain itchy dry areas.  Well, that is no longer an issue!  Woot woot!   I've been using the Olive and Marula lotion on him and his skin is doing awesome with no flare ups.  :)  

    Gabe has always had very very dry skin.  For the longest time, I tried to find something that would keep him hydrated throughout the day but it was constantly a fail.  (I too, as a child, went through this...)  I decided to use the Raw Shea Chamomile & Argan Oil lotion on him since it seemed thicker and more moisturizing.  I must say that thus far, this lotion has done the trick for Supa Gabe.  It keeps his skin soft and ash free lol!  He also likes this lotion because the scent is stronger than the Olive and Marula one.  He says it smells like a "man" lotion lol!!!

I Need You To Survive :)

7/27/2014

    I love y'all!!!!  Today, we should remember to pray for those other than ourselves... It's also important that we stand together for Christ and not be divided.  

(KJV) John chapter 13 verses 34 and 35

34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Dry Twist & Curl Using Jane Carter Products!

7/25/2014

5 Comments

 
    My hair #loves these products! SERIOUSLY!  The #softness is #crazy!

Products in hair:

Nutrient Replenshing Conditioner (which I used as a leave in prior to semi - drying my hair with my Laila Ali Soft Bonnet Dryer.  I sat under the dryer for about 10 minutes with butterfly clips to help stretch my hair. This got my hair about 90 percent dry.)


Note: The conditioner I currently have has the ingredients listed differently than what is listed on the Jane Carter website.  :/  The one I have starts with purified water, olive frail oil, sage extract, rosemary extract, basil extract, mullein extract, and so on.


For styling on each section prior to twisting I used in this order:


Creamy Leave In Styling Smoother
Wrap and Roll
Nourish and Shine

My Skin Care Routine Day/Night

7/21/2014

3 Comments

 
    Hey! As requested, today I share my skin care routine! (I've been using the same basics of this regimen for 1 1/2 - 2 years.) 
My skin is far from perfect... In fact, I had a breakout in this vid SMH!
    I've always had combo oily, acne prone, easily scarred, hyper pigmented skin ... As you may know, I don't wear a lot of makeup but I'm really happy that my current regimen has gotten me to a point where I'm more comfortable in my own skin without makeup. I hope this video helps! :)

Things I Use On My Skin :)
To see how I use these products on my skin, see video above.

Coconut Oil

    I currently use this oil at night.  I LOVE to use this to help me remove my makeup and I even use it when I'm not wearing makeup. This oil provides my skin with a really healthy looking glow and it keeps my skin hydrated and soft.  I also still use this as my body lotion daily.

African Black Soap

    I currently use this day and night.  This soap works great at keeping my skin balances and helps keep my breakouts minimal. It cleans really well and helps rid my skin of dirt, oil, and makeup. 

Oatmeal

    I currently use this in the morning.  Oatmeal has been great for my skin!  It keeps it soft, controls my oil, helps fade acne scars, and brightens my skin tone.  It also helps minimize the look of my large pores.  It gently exfoliates my skin without being too abrasive.

Baking Soda

    Last year, I wasn't sure how long I was going to use baking soda in my regimen, but this baby is amazing for fading my acne scars!!!  I scar VERY easily and if I let a pimple go without being treated it is likely to leave a long lasting scar behind. :/  Using a bit of baking soda a couple times a week (daily if I need to treat a serious breakout) has gotten my skin to a point where I'm more comfortable wearing no foundation.  :D 

(See video to see how I like to use this ingredient.  Since it is very abrasive, caution must be taken.)

Tea Tree Oil

    It was recommended that I try this oil for spot treating my pimples, and I must say that it's amazing!  I tend to get some sort of pimple daily... (Unfortunately this is something that I've had to deal with forever lol.)  Well, tea tree oil zaps those buggers away very quickly and I worry a lot less about breaking out than before.   

Vitamin E Oil

   I finally have found a way to get this oil to work for me!  It has been amazing for fading my under eye circles and reducing some fine lines around my eyes.  

Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus Body Lotion

  I have started to use this lotion in place of my GNC Vitamin C cream which I still love.  I wanted to switch that out however, because I wanted to use something with better ingredients.  This lotion gets the job done and it doesn't break me out.  I only use a little since it contains lots of natural oils.

50% Isopropyl Alcohol & Witch Hazel

  I honestly prefer using the 50% isopropyl alcohol simply because it clears my pores better.  I tend to use it on targeted areas my like chin, neck, and around my lips the most.  I use the witch hazel when I don't need to use something as strong.

Soothing Care Anti Chaffing Relief Powder Gel (from the makers of Monistat)

   LOL!!!  I know this sound like a strange choice to use on my face, but hey, it works!  This product works well when it comes to providing a smooth surface on my skin.  It helps control oil, so on days where I want to go foundation- free I can do so without being a grease ball lol!  This product works like a primer for my skin. :)

Viva Papertowels

  I love to use these to remove my makeup as well as dry my skin.  They are very gentle and cloth-like so they don't damage my skin.  I also like that I get a fresh clean "towel" each time I clean my face... which reduces breaking out from bacteria lurking in regular towels.  (When I can't find the "pick a size" paper towels, sometimes I like to rip the large sheets in half to reduce the amount of paper towel I use.)

Come To Me

    Hey! The Lord's watching and He understands what's going on and where you're headed.  If you let Him take the wheel, He will... and it will be a much smoother ride if you do. So let Him. ;)

(KJV) Matthew chapter 11 verses 27-30 

27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

   My #hair #misbehaved alllll day! Smh!  No matter what I did.... it failed. I'm starting to think that the month of July is just the "battle" month for Ms. Fro lol.  Believe it or not, this fro stemmed from a wash and go that I attempted to stretch out with my flexirods.  I lost the battle and had to just let her be.  Well at least she feels soft lol!    How did your hair behave today?
