Love Potion

When sampling a product, well, you never know what you're going to get. So, you can imagine my shock this Halloween weekend of all times, when I tried Caress Love Forever Body Wash and it came out of the bottle looking almost like blood! Sparkly blood though. Kinda neat. Very different. Not for the faint of heart. The most awesome thing about this soap though is that it turns you in to a living Scratch-n-Sniff! Honest! There is a 12-Hour Fragrance Release feature, so any time you touch your skin (or your skin is touched), it gives off a really fascinating scent. It does smell pretty good, I will give it that. Not the best lather and will most likely stain your loofa or washcloths, but it's interesting - and all of you vampires and zombies will get a kick out of it. A fun little trick and pretty much a treat!

Throw KINDness Around Like Confetti

KIND Snacks is amazing and wants to help us make the world a kinder place! Let's face it, we can use it in times like these! What better way to grow kindness than to reward it to show it is appreciated? Perhaps I told you that when someone does a nice gesture that you spot, you can reward them with a gift for free and it would only take about 1 minute of your time? Let's think about this…maybe, just maybe, we can then keep this act of kindness going not just for reward, but as a way of life. It's worth a try, right?

Celebrating someone by showing gratitude and appreciation is what KIND Snacks wants to help you do. Ever hear the saying "throw kindness around like confetti"? Well, we're going to take a nutritious route. It's easy to spread the kindness and the recipient will get a gift complimentary of KIND Snacks! When you go their site www.howkindofyou.com, you will see that you can actually "send a KIND snack". They give you the opportunity to send an email of appreciation to the recipient, who in turn reads the email, enters their shipping information, and receives a box of 2 KIND Snack Bars which are extremely delicious and packed of protein. They even get a little Thank You Card. Know someone you'd like to reward?

Let's keep the kindness going by posting on social media using hashtag #kindawesome. This is a neat movement that costs you nothing but a moment of your time. And who knows…if you do something kind for someone else, maybe they will do something KIND for you!

Miraculously AUSsome Hair

Is it just me or when you go to a hair salon and have your hair shampooed and conditioned, do you feel like the hairstylist is creating a huge marshmallow of lather on your head that you can never seem to achieve yourself? Well, I finally did it thanks to Aussie!

I received Aussie Miraculously Smooth Shampoo, Conditioner, and Mousse to test and the results were surprising! I generally like to use higher-end products like Paul Mitchell, but when my finances aren't the fanciest and I want my hair to be, I look for products from retail and/or drug stores that will treat my hair the way it wants to be treated.

Who doesn't want smooth hair? My hair has been somewhat dry lately, and I thought it WAS going to take a small miracle to fix that, so I was excited to try something new. First of all, these products smell great! The shampoo while good, wasn't my favorite, but the conditioner…it made it happen…I got that huge fluffy marshmallow lather going on top of my head! And, my hair was smooth!!! For the rest of the day, I couldn't stop touching it.

My hair is naturally curly and like most people, we always want what we don't have, so I tend to straighten it…a lot. (No wonder it's dry, I know, I know). Well, I went back to my roots (hehe) with the mousse. I used to apply mousse to enhance my curls, so I started that ritual again now thanks to sampling this product! I applied the mousse to my damp hair and it made my curls more wavy than kinky which made me happy and it is now really one of my favorite mousses ever!

While I was given these products complimentary to sample, the opinions are all my own.

MY TOP PICKS FROM BRIDAL FASHION WEEK FALL 2017

After taking a look at all that Bridal Fashion Week had to offer for the Fall 2017 line, I came up with my Top Picks from Bride.Com! This season boasted lots and lots of skin. I'm not necessarily conservative, but I'm having a hard time trying to wrap my head around who would be daring enough to wear something that makes lingerie look like a business suit in front of their family. More power to that bride! And, I'm sure if the wedding is intimate or if the couple is eloping, those gowns would be super fun! Even though I chose some gowns with some skin showing, I kept it to a bare minimum (no pun intended). I was surprised as a lot of my favorite designers did not end up on my list for the first time, but some others made their way in. Take a little peak of  my faves from the following categories!
