Fekkai Hair Product Review!

I have another review for you guys, and this time it's hair care. Fekkai is a great salon style brand, that's has made there products available in drugstores. Like all my reviews I try the products for a couple weeks before giving my opinion. Not only did I use it on myself but I've been using it on my Baby B. I'm bi-racial and have coarse hair, so I tend to use hair care products for African American hair. I also don't wash my everyday, just because my hair takes a long time to blow out and my hair will get too dry from washing too often. The Glossing Shampoo and Conditioner left my hair so soft and easy to comb through. I comb my hair out in the shower first, and I could have done this with the shampoo alone. I received a sample size Glossing Cream that I applied to my hair before blow drying. I was so happy with how shiny and healthy my hair looked after blow drying and straighting. The Glossing Cream was voted Best of Sephora 2008 and there are a ton of great reviews online. So many different hair types can use the Fekkai hair care line, there's something for everyone. The only con that I have is my hair did feel a little bit more dry then usual. The price point is about $10 for Glossing Cream and $12 for the Glossing Shampoo and Conditioner. They have products for all hair types, as well as color treated hair. I told you that I also used the shampoo and conditioner on Baby B, I saw the best results on his hair. Since using the products, his hair has began to grow longer. It made is hair soft and gave it a healthy shine. I was so excited when I saw his hair starting to grow. I normally would just wash his hair with the Johnson Bedtime Bath. His hair would grow a little bit, but  his hair was still thin an had some bald spot. Now his hair looks thicker and his bald spots are filling in. Say BYE BYE to my bald baby! The only con for him was, if I got the shampoo in your eyes it can burned. It broke my heart the first time he cried because the soap got in his eyes. I can't wait to try the hair mask, which is a deep conditioning treatment. I recommend  trying a hair mask ladies, you will love the way your hair feels. All together I'm very satisfied with the Fekkai brand. You shouldn't have to go out of your way to get your beauty needs, now that Fekkai is available at most drugstores and supermarkets, it's makes life a little easier. Fekkai is a great brand, that's reasonably price and easily accessible.





I received these products to review. All opinions are my own.I haven't been asked to say anything. I stand  behind this product because I believe it's a good brand!

Burt's Bees Sensitive Skin Care Review!

 So lets talk skin care! I have a love for all things beauty and skin care, especially when it's free. I joined a site called Buzz Agent, they sign you up for different campaigns where you can try things for free. They say this is the newest type of advertising, "word-of-mouth". I was sent the Burt's Bees Natural Skin Solution For Sensitive Skin Face Wash and Moisturizer. I've used it for the past 2 weeks and want to share my thoughts. I love the Burt's Bees Chap stick and have for years, so when I was given the chance to use there skin care line I was pretty excited.  I have pretty oily skin, but do tend to have a slight sensitivity to knew products. My skin gets quite red, and I tend to have breakouts regularly. The Sensitive Skin line is all natural, which I love. The face wash feels really gentle when your washing your face, but doesn't give your skin a clean feeling once washed off. I had my Fiance use it and he said the same thing. I love the moisturizer, it made my skin feel hydrated without feeling greasy. Overall I like both products. I would buy the moisturizer again, but probably wouldn't buy the face wash. If you have very sensitive skin, this is a great product to try. What I'm going to do is add this into my skin care routine. I'll try and wash my face with this every 3rd day, so that my skin doesn't get used to just one face wash. I'll continue to use the moisturizer everyday. They have a night cream, that I plan on trying.

I’ve begun a mini obsession with Pinterest, like so many others. I’ve always been the type of girl to rip out pages of magazines. I love to have all my inspiration in one place. I still do this, but now I can store so many of my Internet inspiration online. I absolutely love, the idea! I’ve also found some blogs that I really enjoy reading from clicking on the picture. I’ve planned Baby B’s entire birthday party on Pinterest, plus a back up theme just in case I change my mind. I have so many organizing, decorating, clothing, make up ideas. If you haven’t jumped on the bandwagon, I would highly recommend doing so. It’s given me the motivation to start different DIY projects. I know there is some debate going on, about copying original works. I want to just say, if you are going to Pin or Repin something please make sure the original poster of the picture is getting credit. Especially if something is being sold on Etsy, put the price and where you can buy it. Bloggers work really hard on the crafts that they put up, so it’s only right that they get all the credit.

Here are some of my favorite ideas I’ve pinned. Be sure to follow me on Pinterest so we can share inspiration!

I love the idea of pumpkin "bling" this is one project I've decided to complete and will post about once complete.

I saw this and immediately thought about making this Baby B once he's a little older. This is a great way to use cookie cutters that might not get used that often. Plus I know kids will love it.

These strawberry margarita jell-o shots looks so tasty, and would be great for any party. You could always make non-alcoholic version for a kids party

I've really started to love the yellow and gray color combination. This room is very neutral but has great pops of color. The 3 large framed photos is so nice, and something I hope to do. You should really check out the blog and see for yourself. I love this master bedroom

These shadow boxes are the cutest way to store your little ones clothes that they wore at the hospital or came home in. You can hang them in their room, or make it coordinate with your own room. This is another project I have planned for October, and I can't wait to do it!

I've always save things that have sentimental value and this is a gorgeous way to showcase your little ones clothes that they wore in the hospital or came home in. You can keep it in their room or have it match in your own. There is a full tutorial on how to do this, and this is another project I have planned for this month.This master bedroom screams sophisticated comfort to me! The nice large bed, that's dressed beautifully, the 3 framed photos above the bed, and a beautiful chandelier. This room is perfect, and I would love to make it all mine!

  The door wreath made here is simple but chic, and I think that's why I love it so much. The blogger who made this said that all she did was wire the flowers through and then hot glue the painted letters onto the wreath. This will be my DIY project for next week, so look for that post to come.

I hope everyone has an amazing weekend! I've been pretty stressed trying to find a new place. My house is in complete disarray. That mixed with a cruising 8 month old boy, makes for some hectic days! We hope to be moved in the next 2 weeks, so please keep me it your prayers that I can make it that long!!

Wishing You All A Sensational Day

My New Office Nook... I'm in love

This weekend we decided to go to Ikea to decorate a nook area as my office area. Every morning I read my regular DIY and budget decorating blogs that I get tons of inspiration from. I love a comfortable contemporary living space. I want my house apartment to feel lived in, but also have a clean feeling. I don't have a ton of money to spend on furniture or decor so I'm so proud of the way my office turned out. I spent around $300.00 for everything except curtains. This is the first of many more projects to come. All my goodies were purchased at the oh-so fabulous Ikea, some of the little nik-naks I had and just moved to this space. I LOVE having my own little area, a place for just me. Of course Bobby can come in sometimes. I now can browse the web and get inspired to do more with this blog and other ideas I've been thinking of, in style.

The Beginning of Fall

Here on the East Cost, the weather is changing. That means cooler nights and changing leaves. We decided to take advantage of that and go to our local state park. They have a beautiful area right on the Delaware River, where you can see the city skyline and get some really great photos. I plan on taking Bobby’s official 7 month photos this weekend. He’s just a couple days shy of 8 months. I’m also planning on doing a fall photo shoot in the same park, with a fall setup. It should be really cute, I hope it comes out as I imagine. Happy Saturday, I hope your having a relaxing weekend.
