Beauty Tuesday: Fruit from the Roots

S is for:

Spring * Scents * Sense …

From myself to my clothes!

Along with working more on my body during my break from full time teaching, I’ve also improved the body of my hair! Plus, my slimmer budget is always happy when I can $ave through my Beauty Rewards that included di$count$ or ExtraCare Buck$ for some of the following hygiene products …

New additions to my bath: Suds up with fruity fragrances chock-full of enriching elements!

Garnier Fructis

  • Full & Plush Shampoo
  • Marvelous Oil

The former has worked for me these ways:

  • Pumped up the volume
  • Sensation with the scent

The latter boasts these following 5 functions:

  1. Pre-Shampoo Primer
  2. Conditioner Additive for Detangling
  3. Blow-Dry Speeder-Upper
  4. Ends Protector
  5. Sleep-In Leave-In Treatment

I’ve tried ALL of the above and noticed a difference:

  • My hair’s now more manageable, as I was able to comb through it smoothly after washing
  • I see and feel more bounce ~ now my long locks are more lively!

My sister-in-law’s secret: Degree deodorant! So far, I haven’t seen residue from this on my whites, lights, brights and black clothing!

 I’m also ways all about seeking stain-preventative measures!

Since I want my clothing and environment to smell good, why limit it to laundry? As the ads say, it’s like deodorant for our workout gear! #UnSTOPables

Added bonus: Bestie gave me her Vera Wang 🎤Rockstar🌠 👑Princess👸 🎁gift💝 👛set!

On top of the cosmetics, the caps actually double-function as rings!

Beauty Tuesday Review: Honest and Hair

Jessica Alba…

I’ve always been a fan since this action actress’ Dark Angel days! Now I admire her beyond rocking out on stage and screen, for her entrepreneurialship! When her Honest Collection hit shelves at Target almost two months ago, I had to try it!

Don’t y’all love how both the product and the packaging are good to our environment? Plus, proceeds go toward a good cause, too!

Due to the damage caused by chemicals in my hair, I also grabbed a bottle of Garnier Fructis Damage Eraser. I like the fragrance, as with all GF products. This actually reminds me of Pantene’s leave-in treatment, so far.

Beauty Tuesday Review: Hair Care Tips from Root to Tip

I go BANANAS for apples and coconut… for my hair!

Let’s feed our body,  from the inside out.

Here’s where I got apple happy on Pretty Fit Way

As I’ve told you in my debut Beauty Tuesday Review, I prefer products that stimulate the senses, including scent!

What’s in my shower today? Stake off the flakes with this Head & Shoulders 2-in-1 Shampoo + Conditioner in Green Apple

Therefore, ridding of itch and irritation doesn’t have to smell like chemicals!

Before I lather up, I apply this to my hair…

Coco Oil

Coconut Oil can “condition my color-treated hair and moisturize my skin” ~ Welcome to My Kitchen

While I say the Pretty Fit Way must practiced from the inside out, coconut oil

makes a great alternative in lieu of more fattening oils ~ WIMK

More Mane Management Tips from root to tip:

  • Massage your head ~ to stimulate scalp for hair growth, as well as to soothe the brain for headache prevention (I swear by these, in particular from my student, a licensed massage therapist)
  • Treat wet hair gently ~ no harsh brushing that would lead it to damage (I showed my shower combs in last week’s Beauty Tuesday segment)
  • DON’T wash hair every single day ~ frequent washing can strip your hair from its natural oils
  • DO wash hair after extended exposure outdoors ~ for allergy prevention (from mold and other muck in the air)
  • Use Dry or Waterless Shampoo when water’s not available ~ to keep hair fresh (like my recommendation in my Beauty Tuesday debut)
