When it comes to my hair, makeup, and skin products I tend to buy several of them at Walmart. I use several drugstore brands and Walmart is conveniently located a few miles from my house.
Because of that, I love that Walmart is now doing more beauty events and giving deep discounts on beauty products. Like the Beauty Glow-up Event that started March 26 and runs through April 28.
During this Beauty Glow-up Event, you can purchase drugstore and high-end beauty products at discounted prices.
When I first started my relaxed hair journey I was a big proponent of using protein treatments on my hair. I had specific weeks built into my relaxed hair regimen specifically protein wash days.
That changed after I gave my hair
protein overload by giving it too much protein. Now that I am several years past that protein overload setback with my hair I’ve started integrating protein back into my hair regimen in two different ways.
My relaxed hair likes a good thick moisturizer. I also like thick hair moisturizers. If they are any good I can apply them to my hair before I go to bed and in the morning my hair is so soft and hydrated.
That is what the TGIN Butter Cream Daily Moisturizer does for my hair.
I started using this hair moisturizer a few years ago and while I'll occasionally share about it on Instagram, I don’t much here on the blog and I’m about to fix that.
As part of my quest to grow my blog, I've been doing more reading and learning from other bloggers who have found success to see what I can implement to grow my blog.
Most of the advice I’ve read makes total sense and I wonder why I didn’t think of doing it myself. But there are a few things that get a response from me of “that seems strange.”
Some of those strange things I decided to not do. Others I did, such as this. I started upgrading my older blog posts.
Back in 2017, I fell in love with cruising. I had been on a Carnival cruise 10 years prior and hated it. I think I like it now because I'm cruising with better cruise lines and cruising has gotten nicer and more luxurious over the years with newer ships and more amenities.
Since that first cruise so long ago I’ve been on a total of five and plan to go on many more. My latest cruise adventure was on an 11-day southern Caribbean cruise in December, right before Christmas.
Keep reading to see more about the itinerary, how the cruise went, and more importantly some key items I packed for the cruise.
Get your money ready! Ulta’s big beauty event, The Semi-Annual Beauty Event, will take place this year from March 8 - March 28. Now you may be doing a double take and that's understandable. During this time of the year, Ulta typically has its 21 Days Of Beauty Event. Well, they decided to change the name and how it works.
I've done some diffing online and found out what those changes are and am going to outline them for you so keep reading.
One thing that I don’t think is talked about enough in the hair care world is how your health and what you ingest impact your hair growth and health.
Staying hydrated and drinking more water can help to keep your scalp and thereby your hair hydrated as well. Some vitamins help with growing hair and scalp health. Many of those vitamins you can get from eating foods or from taking multivitamins specially formulated for hair.
I’ve tried a few of them like these from The Mane Choice hair brand.
Not everyone wants to wear foundation for their makeup look. It could be they don’t like the feel of makeup on their skin or they prefer something that looks more natural.
The good news is there are some foundation alternatives out there:
- Sheer foundations
- Tinted moisturizers
- BB Creams
- CC Creams
2023 is behind us and I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting over the last month. I’ve also been looking at my data and metrics for all of my platforms to see how they performed against my goals.
Some of the data I looked at were the top-selling items from last year. These are the items you all purchased two or more of. It seems you all really like Mielle and TGIN hair products like I do as those were the top-selling brands.
