Natural Hair: My Wash Day Essentials for Dry, Porous, 4c Hair......

Hey Everyone!

I wanted to share my Wash Day Essentials and Routine for my dry, porous( please RESEARCH this, it will change your natural hair LIFE), type 4c hair. I used struggle so much with keeping my hair moisturized, until I realized that it was all about layering moisture rich products BEFORE styling this hair. I'm able to retain moisture for days on end when I start off with a good wash day routine.

 #1

 I deep condition on dry hair. I deep condition once a week like clockwork. Before I wash, I deep condition on my dry hair. My porous hair takes the DC better dry. Just 15 mins under a plastic cap is perfect.

My favorite products right now are Nene's Secret My Mom's Hair Masque( My Dollar Tree had a ton!! Check out pictures on my Instagram and Suave Moroccan Infusion Color Care Conditioner( their Moroccan Oil Brand Dupe)

 #2

I rinse out the DC and wash my scalp with shampoo twice. If I don't wash my scalp once a week, it gets very angry!! I used have flakes and itching but washing my scalp once a week and removing the product from it cleared up the problem. Then I co-wash my hair with a cleansing conditioner. This keeps my hair soft. I don't put this product on my scalp.

My favorites right now are Shea Moisture Strengthen Grow & Restore Shampoo and Herbal Essences Color Me Happy Cleansing Conditioner.

 #3

I apply my leave in conditioners to my clean hair. Right now I'm using two, Shea Moisture Strengthen Grow & Restore Leave In Conditioner and Suave Keratin  Heat Defense Leave In Conditioner. Both products are really creamy and my hair loves that creamy moisture.

 #4

Now for the moisturizers. After two leave ins...yes...moisturizer!! Both are water based which helps with the layering of moisture. I'm currently using Jane Carter Solution Hair Nourishing Cream and Palmer's Hair Milk.

#5

My last step after all the products are applied, is SEALING in the moisture. I love shea butter based products for sealing in all the products. Normally I make a Olive Oil & Shea Butter whip butter but I was lazy and bought Nene's Secret Gorgeous Gro to seal it all in. After sealing, I section my hair to either be braided down for whole cap or hair wig with a leave out. This routine is also good for twist outs. I just add a styling product( a wrap lotion) before sealing then twist.

That was A LOT I know but it has worked for me for over four years with different products but same regimen.

Ask any questions!!

Review: Always Off Unique Cloths (Makeup Eraser Dupe)

Hey Everyone!!

Ya'll know I'm always down for a dupe.

So the tea on the beauty blogsphere is that Always Off Unique Cloths( sold at Walmart for $2.98, well at MY Walmart) are  The Original Make Up Eraser Dupe (sold at Sephora for $20). I don't own the Sephora one so this is not a comparison post, just a quick review. Stank you very much!!

I went on my IG and posted a pic of Always Off and asked my divas how to use these cloths. The two answers I received were either with or with out cleanser. Just wet the cloth and remove the makeup.

I tried both ways, and of course the cleanser way took off more makeup because of the product. However, when simply wet, the cloth does work. It does remove makeup. Even hard to remove mascara. It does require a bit of "elbow grease" if you will. You are not going just lightly wipe and the makeup will magically come off. You going to have to WIPE it off, if you understand me. So if you are one to be sensitive about pulling and tugging of the skin( I'm not, but I'm not rough with my face either), this is not for you.

What I see is a microfiber material in a towel. Walmart has a cheap version than the Sephora but this towel is the same thing as the microfiber towel people dry their hair with. What a damn hustle! Why didn't think of that!! The mark up on the Sephora  sold version is the grand hustle!

Have you tried Always Off or the Make Up Eraser? Let me know in the comments!!

Scentbird Perfume Subscription Box Unboxing June 2014 + Coupon Code Link.....

Hey Everyone!!!

I received my third Scentbird Perfume Subscription on June 20th, which was last week. I've noticed that the packages are going out later and later. My first box came on the 15th( which is the day it is promised to arrive), My 2nd box was later, like on the 18th and this box on the 20th. I had to email Scentbird on the 17th because I had not received a tracking email. I received my tracking moments later. I'm ALREADY super impatient with shipping logistics.

Just tell the truth, ya'll don't ship on the 15th. Ok?!?!

But Scentbird hits my Paypal Mastercard like CLOCKWORK for that payment on the 5th. #tea

Best Spot Remover Ever!!

Hey Everyone!!!

I just wanted to do a quick drive by "product review" on a product that has been saving mine and my kids' clothes!

I don't know how I do it, maybe because I cook alot, but I always get oil stains in my favorite tops. I've ruined countless tops, including my beloved grey v-neck t shirts from Target with oil splashes and spots. You would think I fry chicken and french fries everyday!

I found this tip somewhere online about Dawn removing grease from oil spots on clothes. I tried it one day and IT WORKED!! Dawn literally brought back to life a cream colored tank that I was about to trash. Best spot remover ever!

Another example....

My sugar lump of son Bubba got grass stains in a pair of brand new khaki shorts the FIRST time he wore them. Unbelievable. As a parent, you are just in awe on how kids will destroy clothes. I believe I might be turning into my mother by saying that. lol! Anyway, I pre-treated the stain with Dawn and added a bit of peroxide on top and let it set for a couple of hours. Then, I threw them in the wash with his other clothes. Stain came right out! And my nerves were restored for another day. #parenthood


I buy the small $.99 bottles of Dawn at my local Dollar General. I also wash my makeup brushes in Dawn. This uncomplicated brush wash does the job and more.

If you try Dawn as a stain remover or even to wash your makeup brushes, come back and let me know the results!!!

How To Care For Your Clothes!

Hey Everyone!!!

Have you every looked on the tag of your favorite dress and saw some symbols that look like the ones above? These symbols represent how to clean your garment properly whether it's home care or dry clean. I grew up with anti-dry cleaner"ist". She was dead set against dry cleaning so I subconsciously adapted the lifestyle as well. Some things do need to be dry cleaned but others can be cared at home. 

That's where this awesome chart comes in. It gives you all the meaning to the symbols so that you don't wash a dry clean only or you can take care of a garment at home and save a couple of dry cleaning dollars! I pinned it right away and it has really helped me out alot!

Here's the PIN on Pinterest to How To Care For Your Clothes, Clothing Care Symbols!
