I do not have oily hair. However, the biggest problem I face with
Shampoos and Conditioners is that after I dry my hair it looks like
it’s still wet. Thats right -- it looks that oily.
Another problem that drives me nuts is that I pay big bucks to get my
hair done and sometimes colored, and the color washes out in a few
weeks. This really bugs me. When I found out that this is caused from
sulfates in Shampoos I had to find a product without this sulfate
component. That’s when I found Pureology.

Here’s what happened -- and I can assure you I tested this out on
camera…Yes, this is me coming out of the shower. I washed, I blow-
dried, and there was no oily hair!! Weeks later I noticed my color was
perfectly in tact. I am one happy camper.

Purelogy

PROS:

- Sulfate Free
- Made my hair soft
- Oil free hair
- Proteins
- Aromatherapy Blend

CONS:

- It’s pricey

If I am going to pay to have my hair died, I am definitely going to
pay a little more to maintain the color. Thumbs up for me! I love it.

love it!

What makes Maxim different than the other tampons on the shelf?

While it doesn’t seem to feel any different or absorb more or less than other name brands I’ve tried, it is made out of 100% pure organic and natural products, unlike other brand names. They are hypoallergenic, fragrance free, and best of all, they are eco-friendly. A BIG plus!

Many of us don’t think of the consequences we may face by using tampons that are not 100% natural. Its time we start! Maxim’s tampons are chlorine and dioxin free, whereas other brands use chlorine to bleach their products — yuck! What woman wants bleach in their body? I’ll pass on that. Secondly, Dioxin, which is the chemical by-product of the standard bleaching process, is potentially a carinogenic (cancer-associated) and is toxic to the immune and reproductive systems. WOW. I bet you didn’t know all that!

I never really thought twice about which tampon brand to buy, but the more I researched it, the more I realized that organic is the way to go.

love it!

Thumbs up on Maxim for all of us, we want a bleach free vagina!

Not going to lie -- when I saw these bra straps I instantly thought they were going to be so uncomfortable. Sure they were pretty but all the beads would probably leave me itching.

I was wrong.

And I’ll admit, after I put them on I got a little excited. We all know that I wasn’t exactly blessed in the bosom department. Although there is not a lot to hold up, they were sturdy and did not itch one bit. In fact, they were comfortable. So I had mom try them on (she has large ugh hmm). She claimed comfort! So big thumbs up for the strappity!

Oh, and I’d like to highlight their Mission Statement — >

To empower -- by paying fair wages, increasing self-esteem, and improving quality of life -- the women of Siloe, a poverty and violence-stricken neighborhood in Cali, Colombia, through the employment of their exceptional artisan talents.

Strap bra

Pros:

Comfortable!
Multi use for different occasions
Holds AAA-DDD
Hypoallergenic (yes, seriously)

CONS:

Looks uncomfortable but don’t let that deceive you -- try it on!
You need a detachable bra to wear these
It’s pricey between $32 to $35 dollars

Buy direct or find a store near you

love it!



Do you think it’s pretty to show off your bra straps?

I attend many minglers and all types of events, and as my luck would have it, of all the people in the room I’m the one that always gets spilled on. Be it a glass of wine or a burping baby -- you can count on getting a good laugh. So, it may come as no surprise to you that I liked the Cindab Wrap-A-Round Clutch.

You can machine wash this purse! I tested out a white clutch that I wore during the day to brunch. Yes, I received several
compliments but it wasn’t the design that I cared about. When my cousin spilled her orange juice on my bag I didn’t freak out. Phew!

Mom didn’t like this purse as a going out accessory, rather she was ecstatic about it as a make up case (I can assure you her beauty book gets so dirty!) So she was excited that she could wash it.

P.s. I like that I could use this purse but I would also buy it as a gift for my girlfriend or grandma -- definitely for a diverse
demographic. Big Plus!

CindaB Wrap A Round Clutch

Pros:

Two interior pockets
Detachable wrist strap,
Comes in a ton of colors
Only $42.00!

CONS:

It’s a matter of taste, while some will like it, others will not.

Buy direct or find a store near you

love it!



Would Your Use This As A Clutch? Or As A Cosmetic Bag?

In this webisode, the Love or Hate Debate Team reviews the Cinturilla
Golden Corset by No Ordinary Rose.

This specially- designed corset lifts and tucks excessive fat you want
to hide. Those few inches at the waist and lower abdomen that just
won’t go away with exercise, diet or post-baby can fall right off with
the Cinturilla Golden. The patented lacy design will reduce your
waistline instantly up to 2 sizes while flattening your tummy and
supporting your spine to give you great posture.

Yana tried on this Cinturilla Golden Corset by No Ordinary Rose and
found that it did hide her love handles (without the gym), and lifted
her bust area. She then tried on the corset with a t-shirt and found
it fit well underneath her top.

Stephanie also felt the corset on Yana and gave it a love because of
the boost it gave to her upper body, however Stephanie did not need it
for herself because she does not have fat on her upper body.

love it!

Ageless is the worlds first anti-age perfume, and my family is probably the only one not to like it, or so it appears according to all the positive press Harvey Prince received for their patented perfume.

Believe it or not, it was actually engineered to make you not only feel younger but smell younger as well. With a rich blend of pink grapefruit, mango, anti-oxidant rich pomegranate, jasmine and musk, the designer promises that heads will turn.
I didn’t buy into all the commotion, especially when my kids had a negative reaction (to put it mildly), however there has been lots of research and press around this invention and the effects of certain smells. It’s simply fascinating, and brilliant marketing on top of that.

Who would of thought that a study would confirm that it will make you feel an average of eight years younger. WOW!


Pros

This perfume is fairly cheap $98 on Amazon for 3.4 oz , this has to be the best deal around (that’s a lot of perfume)!



Cons

According to my kids you’ll smell like my grandma. I love my grandma, so that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but not necessarily a good one. So I’ll have to give it thumbs down.

hate it!

Sonic Spinbrush & Arm & Hammer Complete Care Fluoride Extra Whitening Toothpaste

Having the perfect pearly white smile is something we all long for. While some of us have it, others don’t. The endless products on the market all seem like the perfect choice, but how do we know which one is best to get the perfect teeth?
Stop questioning yourself, because Dr. Roger Gershfeld, Hollywood’s dentist is here to help us figure it out:

1. Brush your teeth on a regular basis.

Using a Spin-brush such as the Sonic Spinbrush is a good way to get the brushing you need. While whitening toothpastes may be abrasive at times, they are good for removing stains. Everyone may have their preference of toothpaste, and although some brands are pricier than others, I have always been happy with regular toothpaste. In order to get that extra shine, I switch it up and use Arm & Hammer Complete Care Fluoride Extra Whitening Toothpaste.

2. Teeth whitening Home Kits

For short term whitening, this is the way to go. Take-home whitening kits do not tend to have enough active ingredient to change the body color of the teeth permanently, but they do work temporarily to hide stains. Try something along the lines of Crest Whitestrips to whiten your teeth.

3. Use Dental Floss

Flossing is just as, if not more important as brushing- and a lot of people tend to forget that! While most of the decay we see on an individual’s tooth is assumed to be on the top—it’s not! Most decay occurs in between teeth where the toothbrush cannot get in. Any Floss is great, as long as you remember to use it!

4. Dental Teeth Whitening Treatments

Whitening treatments can be done from the convenience of your own home by using whitening trays or through your dental office where they use light systems. Pricing of treatments range but typically start around $500 and are available at many cosmetic dental surgery clinics.

Final Tips

The healthiest and most natural way to clean teeth is to eat fruits and vegetables. Be cautious of citrusy foods, such as grapefruit and be sure to buffer acids with foods such as milk and cheese. Be cautious of dark drinks such as wine and soda which may darken your teeth color.

love it!

Its always been a sensitive subject: Breast Cancer

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, dedicated to increasing awareness of the importance of early breast cancer detection.

Breast Cancer has been a sensitive subject for many. Nothing is more empowering than when a woman beats the disease.

So what are you to do when you want to give a warm gift and show your care for a survivor? In the back of my head I have always thought this
would be a tough decision for many. You want to give something meaningful to show you truly care.

Thats exactly what Isabelle Grace created! A “Survivor” necklace to support breast cancer awareness. Claudia, of Isabelle Grace Jewelry
has designed a necklace made with a 14 karat gold filled chain and a pink topaz semi-precious stone which honors the pink ribbon. A silver hand cute tag inscribed with (one one side) “because i am’ and on the other the affirmation “Survivor,” symbolizes overcoming breast cancer.

I bet you can’t say that a piece of jewelry has ever made you choke up. Well, this was a tear jerker for me. And its so comfy (Fabulous
quality).

Isabelle Grace is also donating a portion of the proceeds to BreastCancer.Org

Isabelle Grace Jewelry

PROS:

When you don’t know what to get for someone who battled this horrible decease, this is the perfect gift.
Part of the proceeds are donated to BreastCancer.Org

CONS:

I can’t say I have any…

Everyone in my house love spa treatments, but with today’s economy all of us have had to cut down on spending.

hair dryer

PROS:

This product resonated with everyone in my house. It’s simple yet unusual. It’s affordable and nourishing. It’s unique, because I personally didn’t see anything like that before and thought that the inventors behind it are very creative and intuitive.

It’s not your regular soy candle, this unique product when melted turns into a massage oil. The was of Scandle Candle’s melt at about 102-102 degrees, so when the melted wax hits the skin, it’s just slightly warmer than your own body temperature.

The burn time is about 50 plus hours, and you can get about twenty massages from just one candle. If you are using it just for your hands and feet, it will last you for a long time.
It’s so hard to buy presents for everyone. This product is great because it’s affordable and it solves a need. For 21.99 and only 11.99 for refills, you can give one to each of your friends this Holliday Season.

This candle can be used to ignite a little romance back into your life with your mate, or if you don’t have one at the moment, no worries. Just use the candle part so your room will smell great and massage some oil on your hands and feet. Enjoy

CONS:

None that I could find

Buy Direct

It was mutually agreed by all generations that we are giving this product “Thumbs Up”


love it!
