Review: PANTENE (Medium-Thick Hair Solutions) Breakage - Strength

I know most of you have seen the new commercial for this product with Eva Mendez. In the commercial Eva says, she uses heating tools until she see's smoke! I hope that's not true lol. Anyways she claims that this product will have your hair looking silky smooth with no breakage and you don't have to give up the heat! I honestly don't think they could have picked a better spokes model for there product or described there product any better. This conditioner is AMAZING!!! I have only been using it about a week but I can definitely say it has made my hair look and feel 10x more healthier. No lie! I use to use Organix Coconut Milk Conditioner because it is organic and has No Sulfate in it. I think I will continue to use the shampoo for those reasons but I am in love with this conditioner! If you have somewhat thick hair and use a curling iron or a flat iron regularly you need to try this product!!! The Pantene Breakage-Smooth Conditioner has really saved my hair. Now I won't need to cut so much off the ends and I can still use my beloved curling iron and straightener! :)


*Also just to let you guys know I am not in any way affiliated with Pantene or any of the companies I do reviews on there products. The reviews I do are my honest opinion on the product and how it has or has not worked for me.

Review on: Olay Complete -All day UV moisturizer!

So I noticed I have been doing a lot of reviews on products I love but now it's time for a product I will never buy again! Yes it's that serious...I'm just playing guys but seriously I will never buy this product again! So I was at CVS looking for a moisturizer with SPF and came across Olay Complete all day UV moisturizer! Sense I like Olay's night creme I figured I'd give this moisturizer a shot! Keep in mind everyone's skin is different and what may not work for me may work for you this is just my opinion on the product. So I bought it for around $8 or $9 and started using it as a moisturizer under my makeup and boy was that a mistake!! I started breaking out like never before...my chin, forehead and even cheeks broke out! I have been lucky enough that all threw my life I have not had any acne on my cheeks. I kept thinking what am I using that is causing my face to break out like this? The answer was Olay Complete. Olay Complete Moisturizer was super greasy, thick and even burned when I put it on. About 4 days after I stopped using this product my acne vanished! The important thing to remember when buying a moisturizer is looking for that unique match for your skin just like a foundation you have to make sure your moisturizer is not going to clog your pores or cause you to break out! A moisturizer is suppost to add the right amount of moisture to your skin for hydration. I am now using Neutrogena's Healthy Defense with SPF 50!! So far I love this moisturizer and will continue to use it as long as it's good to my skin. :)

Review on: Organix Pure and Simple - Coconut Milk!

Let me start by saying I've used a lot of shampoo's and conditioner's over the years. I've tried everything from Herbal Essence to John Freida to Bed Head and all these shampoo's stripped my hair of there natural oils leaving my hair frizzy and super dry! The reason is all these shampoo's had Sulfate in them. Sulfate is a numerous inorganic compounds related to sulfuric acid. In laymen terms it has salt in it that strip natural oils from your hair in order to clean it. Luckily some companies have caught on and have started making shampoo's that are Sulfate Free!! What's really unique about Organix Pure and Simple - Coconut Milk is that all the ingredients are natural and not made of any acid or chemical that can damage your hair. It's paraben free, safe for color treated hair, good for all hair types and they do not test there products on animals! The conditioner has organic coconut milk which helps nourish your hair, egg white's that help to add strength and shine and coconut oils that add hydration and balance to your hair giving your hair a healthy natural glow! From the first time I used this product I was hooked!!! This product left my hair feeling amazingly healthy and my hair color even looked better too! I have now been using the shampoo and condition for over 6 months and I can honestly say I will never go back to those other shampoos or conditioners because I finally found a keeper. :)

How healthy is a sandwich?....Really??

I am yet to me someone who doesn't love them a good sandwich but is the sandwich your eating really healthy for you? Well it depends! On what kind of sandwich your eating but here are some examples of some of the most unhealthy sandwiches out there....I think the list might surprise you!

Unhealthy Sandwiches:
  • Arby's Ultimate BLT Market Fresh Sandwich (880 calories)

To me this is insane a sandwich is suppost to be the "healthy choice" and it can be compared to fast food places but it really depends what kind of sandwich your eating. Some sandwiches are packed with so many calories you might as well of eat a burger and fries! Below is a list I came up with of healthy sandwiches I would rather eat then the calorie hogs above.
