REVIEW | MAPLE HOLISTICS ARGON OIL SHAMPOO FOR WINTER + FREE SAMPLES

HAPPY THURSDAY, EVERYONE!

SINCE POSTING MY TEA TREE OIL SHAMPOO REVIEW from MAPLE HOLISTICS EARLIER THIS YEAR, I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRY MORE FROM THE LINE.

So, THIS WEEK, I'M REVIEWING one of THEIR BEST SELLING products the ARGON OIL SHAMPOO, A HYPOALLERGENIC AND BPA-FREE PRODUCT THAT ADDS A LITTLE MOISTURE FOR THE DRY WINTER SEASON.

IT COMBINES VANILLA, HONEY, ALMOND AND AVOCADO OILS WITH THE ARGON OIL TO CREATE A DECADENT AND SILKY RINSE FOR YOUR HAIR. THE SMELL IS FRESH AND COMFORTING AT THE SAME TIME, I HONESTLY LOVE IT! 

I THINK THIS WILL APPEAL TO ALL OF YOU WHO LOVE ALL NATURAL PRODUCTS WITHOUT ANY OF THE ADDED CHEMICALS USED IN SO MANY OTHER BRANDS.

PLUS, WITH DERMAROLLING BECOMING SUCH A FAD IN skin and HAIR CARE, if YOU HAVE TRIED it, you KNOW THAT it is best paired with ALL NATURAL PRODUCTS.

SO, THIS MIGHT BE A LINE TO TRY IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY and why not grab a sample because who doesn't like free things? talk about affordable! ❤

HOME DECOR | ADD CHIC DESIGN DETAILS WITH HASSEL-FREE SUCCULENTS

HAPPY TUESDAY, BLOGLAND!

IN THE MIDST OF MY BIG MOVE TO DENVER NEXT MONTH, I'M MOST EXCITED TO DESIGN AND DECORATE MY NEW LITTLE PLACE because I love home deCor AND ENJOY COMING UP WTH WAYS TO DECORATE FOR LESS EVEN MORE!

I KNEW I WANTED TO ADD SUCCULENT plant DETAILS TO COMPLIMENT MY RUSTIC ELEGANT SYLE with a modern edge AND ALSO help TO BRING A LITTLE FRESH GREEN COLOR INTO MY SPACE. 

IN THE MIDDLE OF MY MOVE, SOMEONE FROM COMMERCIALSILK.COM, AN ONLINE ARTIFICIAL PLANTS AND TREES SHOP, REACHED OUT TO SEE IF THEY COULD SEND ME SOME succulents TO use in my new place and SHARE WITH ALL OF you.

I WAS EXCITED TO COLLABORATE AND LOOKED FORWARD TO RECEIVING THEM, BUT TO BE HONEST, I WAS ALSO SKEPTICAL AS TO IF THEY WOULD ACTUALLY LOOK REAL.

I HAVE A FAUX ORCHID THAT LOOKS VERY REAL, AND IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS, BUT I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT HOME GOODS AND in AFFORDABLE DECOR SHOPS FOR SUCCULENTS AND THEY LOOK VERY PLASTIC AND FAKE, EVEN FROM A FAR.

HOWEVER, WHEN theSE arrived i was IN AWE OF how real they looK, instantly fell in love AND WANTED MORE.  SO, IF YOU DON'T WANT THE HASsLE OF KEEPING A PLANT ALIVE, BUT WANT THE LOOK OF A REAL ONE, THESE ARE IDEAL FOR YOU!

iF YOU AREN'T INTO SUCCULENTS, THEY HAVE A VARIETY OF ORCHIDS, PLANTS, trees AND MORE, in WIDE price ranges, TO BEST SUIT YOUR STYLE.

THESE ARE GOING TO MAKE THE PERFECT DECOR ACCENTS IN MY NEW APARTMENT, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO DECORATE WITH THEM - SO STAY TUNED FOR THAT! ❤

REVIEW | HOURGLASS CONFESSION ULTRA SLIM REFILLABLE LIPSTICK + ALL SHADES

HAPPY WEDNESDAY, EVERYONE!

THANKS TO HOURGLASS COSMETICS AND INFLUENSTER, I WAS ABLE TO TRY THEIR NEW CONFESSION ULTRA SLIM HIGH INTENSITY REFILLABLE LIPSTICK IN THE SHADE 'I LUST FOR', WHICH IS A VERSATILE PEACHY BEIGE.

I MUST ADMIT, UPON UNBOXING THE PACKAGE THAT ARRIVED, I WAS STRUCK BY THE OVERALL SLEEK AND BEAUTIFUL GOLDEN DESIGN OF THE LIPSTICK!

IT IS SUPER SLIM, WHICH MAKES IT EASY TO APPLY, LIKE HOLDING A PEN, AND TAKES UP NO ROOM IN YOUR BAG OR CLUTCH ON THE GO.  NOT TO MENTION, YOU CAN SIMPLY LEAVE IT OUT ON YOUR COUNTER, WHEN NOT IN USE, AND IT INSTANTLY ADDS A DELICATE HOME DECOR ACCENT, LOVE IT!

IT COMES IN 32 WEARABLE SHADES, TO HELP YOU FIND YOUR PERFECT MATCH, AND THE BEST PART IS YOU CAN REFILL IT BECAUSE THE SHADES JUST POP ON AND OFF, INGENIOUS!   I'VE QUITE HONESTLY NEVER SEEN SUCH A MAKE-UP BEAUTY.

It costs $34, which is pricey, but the gold container it comes it is worth it and then you only have to pay for refills, not the entire lipstick. 

THE COLOR PAYOFF IS EXACTLY AS YOU SEE IN THE TUBE, so high intensity is an accurate description, and smells like cake, BUT I WILL ADMIT IT, ALTHOUGH IT IS SMOOTH, IT's MORE DRYING THAN I ANTICIPATED.

THAT SAID, WITH A BIT OF SHEER GLOSS AFTERWARDS, OR JUST SOME LIP BALM BEFORE APPLYING IT, IS BEAUTIFUL.

REVIEW | DRYEL ON-THE-GO INSTANT STAIN REMOVER PEN

HAPPY THURSDAY, EVERYONE!

THIS YEAR, I HAVE TEAMED UP WITH DRYEL TO TEST A NUMBER OF THEIR AFFORDABLE AT HOME LAUNDRY PRODUCTS ON MY DIFFERENT CLOTHES.

IN MARCH, I TRIED THEIR DRY CLEANING AT HOME LINE.  HIS MONTH, I TRIED THEIR ON-THE-GO stain remover PEN, AND IT HAS BEEN A MUST HAVE ON MY MANY ROAD TRIPS AND DESTINATION DENVER MOVE!

THE PEN IS SUPER EASY TO USE AND TAKE ON THE GO WITH YOU, EVEN IN THE SMALLEST OF BAGS, LIKE A CLUCH OUT ON A DATE OR TO DINNER WITH FRIENDS.

THAT SAID, IT CAN BE USED TO SPOT CLEAN BEFORE WASHING IN A LAUNDRY MACHINE AS WELL. I TESTED IT BOTH WAYS AND IT WORKED BEAUTIFULLY!

LIFE IS HECTIC ENOUGH, AND with THE AMOUNT OF TRAVEL MANY OF uS DO IN THE SUMMER, IT'S THE PERFECT PRODUCT TO KEEP YOUR STYLE FRESH while giving you the freedom to wear what you want, when you want to.

Plus, I am a WINE LOVER, and this allows me to drink it worry-free.  I put it to the test below, and it truly has become a new staple in my life! ❤

THE QUICK SOLUTION - GRAB YOUR DRYEL ON-THE-GO PEN.

DAB SOME OF THE PRODUCT FROM THE DRYEL PEN DIRECTLY ON THE SPOT. 

AFTER HAVING SPOT TREATED YOUR ITEM OF CLOTHING WITH THE DRYEL PEN, LET IT REST, AND THEN, DAB OUT WITH WATER and let dry.

CONVENIENT FOR TRAVEL, JUST TOSS IT IN YOUR CLUTCH, pocket OR
BAG AND YOU'RE READY SHOULD YOU NEED IT.

​I AM NOT A HAIR EXTENSIONS TYPE PERSON AND HAVE NEVER TRIED THEM BEFORE. HOWEVER, I HAVE NATURALLY FINE HONEY BLONDE HAIR AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED IN SEEING WHAT FULLER HAIR MIGHT BE LIKE. 

SO, WHEN i was CONTACTED ABOUT TRYING SOME AFFORDABLE, 100% HUMAN HAIR, CLIP-IN EXTENSIONS TO REVIEW FOR you, my fashionable friends, I THOUGHT IT WAS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO SEE WHAT IT is ALL ABOUT!

KEEP READING IF YOU WANT TO SEE HOW MY EXTENSIONS ADVENTURE TURNED OUT.

SILKY STRAIGHT 20" HIGHLIGHTED CLIP-IN HUMAN HAIR EXTENSION = $109

a closer look at the naturally highLighted extensions I tried.

A look at the clips along the band that easily bend to open and snap in place.

• LOOK AND FEEL SUPER SOFT, SHINY AND SILKY.

• HAS A TRULY NATURAL LOOKING HIGHLIGHTS FOR BEAUTIFUL DIMENSION.

• OFFERS A WARM, STRAWBERRY BLONDE UNDERTONE.

• genuinely surprised by the quality and how it blended with my hair.

• QUALITY FOR THE PRICE IS MATCHED AND I would highly RECOMMEND them.

• IF YOU HAVE SUPER FINE, BABY SOFT HAIR, AS I DO, I SUGGEST ONLY USING A COUPLE OF THE LAYERS OR IT IS HARDER TO COMPLETELY CAMOUFLAGE THEM.

the color really was a perfect match to my natural hair color!
