My relaxed hair likes a good thick moisturizer. I also like thick hair moisturizers. If they are any good I can apply them to my hair before I go to bed and in the morning my hair is so soft and hydrated.
That is what the TGIN Butter Cream Daily Moisturizer does for my hair.
I started using this hair moisturizer a few years ago and while I'll occasionally share about it on Instagram, I don’t much here on the blog and I’m about to fix that.
Back in 2017, I fell in love with cruising. I had been on a Carnival cruise 10 years prior and hated it. I think I like it now because I'm cruising with better cruise lines and cruising has gotten nicer and more luxurious over the years with newer ships and more amenities.
Since that first cruise so long ago I’ve been on a total of five and plan to go on many more. My latest cruise adventure was on an 11-day southern Caribbean cruise in December, right before Christmas.
Keep reading to see more about the itinerary, how the cruise went, and more importantly some key items I packed for the cruise.
Get your money ready! Ulta’s big beauty event, The Semi-Annual Beauty Event, will take place this year from March 8 - March 28. Now you may be doing a double take and that's understandable. During this time of the year, Ulta typically has its 21 Days Of Beauty Event. Well, they decided to change the name and how it works.
I've done some diffing online and found out what those changes are and am going to outline them for you so keep reading.
One thing that I don’t think is talked about enough in the hair care world is how your health and what you ingest impact your hair growth and health.
Staying hydrated and drinking more water can help to keep your scalp and thereby your hair hydrated as well. Some vitamins help with growing hair and scalp health. Many of those vitamins you can get from eating foods or from taking multivitamins specially formulated for hair.
I’ve tried a few of them like these from The Mane Choice hair brand.
Not everyone wants to wear foundation for their makeup look. It could be they don’t like the feel of makeup on their skin or they prefer something that looks more natural.
The good news is there are some foundation alternatives out there:
- Sheer foundations
- Tinted moisturizers
- BB Creams
- CC Creams
2023 is behind us and I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting over the last month. I’ve also been looking at my data and metrics for all of my platforms to see how they performed against my goals.
Some of the data I looked at were the top-selling items from last year. These are the items you all purchased two or more of. It seems you all really like Mielle and TGIN hair products like I do as those were the top-selling brands.
Let’s have some trash talk! And when I say trash talk I mean the empty bottles from the hair and skin care products I’ve used up and will be putting in the trash.
I’ve collected these empty bottles over several months so this is not typical of how many products I go through in a month.
Neutrogena is a skincare brand that has been around for years but I didn’t really start paying attention to it until I stumbled across one of the moisturizers in its Hydro Boost line the
Hydro Boost City Shield Hydrating Water Gel Sunscreen.
Since I liked that moisturizer so much when it was out of stock in Target near me I decided to give its sibling the Neutrogena Hydroboost Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid and SPF 50 a try. It’s a little thicker than the Hydro Boost City Shield Hydrating Water Gel Sunscreen so I did have some concerns that it may be too much hydration for my oily skin.
Having tangled hair is the worst. It’s frustrating, scary, and time-consuming.
Until I started my relaxed hair journey and got serious with it I was experiencing some hair tangling. I would get tangles in my new growth and even further down the hair strand.
If you experience tangled hair regularly either between washes or on wash day, there are some things you can do to keep it from happening.
