Lilla Rose Flexi Clip

A couple of years ago, I had one of the Lilla Rose's Flexi clips.  My daughter love the  Spring bouquet design that I chose for her long hair. She still uses it with her long and thick hair.   I usually  put this on her hair during recitals, it is a very beautiful hair accessory  to have if you have a long hair.

I am glad to have another  flexi clip and this time, it is for my hair.  So now, we both have  our own  flexi clips from Lilla Rose and we love sporting it when dressing up on Sundays for church.

I chose this Daisy flower design as I have  bought a top that has a similar color to this so it would be perfect to  accessorise my hair when I wear it.  One flexi clip like this cost $16 which seem a little expensive but I guarantee that you will get the worth of every dime you spent on this one as they are well made with high quality materials.  

I love how summer it is and it's fun to  wear it as an added color  especially if you are wearing a black color outfit.

When ordering, the sizing is SO important so make  sure to watch sizing and styling video guide so you can buy the perfect size  size for the style that  you'd like to do and  be completely happy with your flexi.  But if by chance ordered  the wrong size, Lilla Rose will gladly exchange their flexi for free within 90 days. There is also a one-year guarantee on defective items.

All NEW customers will receive a FREE flexi when you  spend $40 or more!  Offer valid for U.S. customers only and expires 30 days from date of the purchase. Customer's choice of item up to $16 in value.  This offer is from Rebekah's website, my contact so if you buy and qualify for the  free item, contact her from her website.

Keratin Protein Hair Care

As the weather changes, the need of my hair  and scalp also changes.  I have to change hair care products when the season also changes. I am so glad that I received a some Keratin Protein hair care products  from Hask to review.  During Winter times, showering in a hot water  affects my hair and scalp, it makes it dry and  I sometimes have a flaky scalp.  

To address that issue I mentioned above,  the Keratin Protein Smoothing Shampoo is  the answer.  It softens and renews the hair .  Hask Keratin Protein  gives damaged and over processed hair the miracle makeover.  IT also helps in reducing frizz and blocks humidity while gently cleaning  even the most unruly hair.  It leaves your hair  shiny and smooth.  

The Keratin Protein Soothing Conditioner  is awesome.  Just like any of the conditioner I have tried before, this makes your hair totally manageable and  soft.  It revitalizes your hair and leaving it feeling awesome!

The Smoothing Shine Oil is great  for making your hair even shiner.  I like it that you can use it on wet  and dry hair.  If your hair is a little dull and frizzy, this oil right here is  great to use.

I also got this 1.75 oz Smoothing Deep Conditioner.  The difference of this one  from the  one I have mentioned above is the fact that this deep  conditioner has  an ultra restorative.  

I love the fact that these products are free from sulfates, parabens, gluten, dying alcohol and other harsh  ingredients that   damages your hair.  

Did I say that it  smells so good?  Yup it does, your hair will smell heavenly after  using these  shampoo and conditioner.  Thanks a lot Hask!

Nutri-Silk Shampoo and Conditioner #YvesRocher

This is currently what I am using, the Oatmeal Shampoo and conditioner from Yves Rocher.  Unlike the previous shampoo and conditioner that I used with Okra Seeds, the smell of this oatmeal one is just heavenly and it really feels good on my scalp and hair.  My hair is so soft after I shower and  very easy to manage.  

You can really nourish your dry hair with this oatmeal shampoo and conditioner.

Rediscover its natural beauty with the creamy Nutri-Silky Treatment Shampoo that nourishes the hair fiber. Its formula, enriched with Oat Milk recognized for its ability to soften hair and soothe the scalp, won’t weigh hair down.  Result: it leaves hair soft, silky and shiny. Silicone free - Paraben free - Colorant free

Each bottle cost $5, which I think is affordable and reasonable.  I  will give this nutri-silky treatment shampoo and conditioner  a 5 rating out of five.  I love it!

Shampoo and Conditioner with Okra Seeds #YvesRocher

I used this shampoo and conditioner with okra seeds last month.    These are just some of the products that  Yves Rocher have sent me.  They sent me several kinds of  hair and skin  products.  This is specially formulated for frizzy hair which my hair falls sometimes.  What can you expect for these products?  Here it is:

Smoothing Shampoo for frizzy hair allows before any finding smooth and silky hair. The Okra seeds extract selected by Yves Rocher Laboratories is known for its cosmetics properties and, in particular, its ability to smooth the hair fiber. Smoothing Shampoo and 48H Smoothing Conditioner: smoothes your rebel hair.

From my actual experience of using this set, here are some that I like and did  not like.

LIKE:

• The price of $5 a bottle is not  that bad.
• It feels really good on your scalp
• It really gives your hair that smoothness  that you are looking for.  

DISLIKE:

• If you  have cook or eaten an okra, the smell is not that great.  So this shampoo does not have  that fragrant that I I was looking for after a shower.  Not the type of smell that I like anyway.
• The lid of the shampoo is very hard to open.  You might break your nail when you try to  lift it up.  They should redesign the  lid into that kind where you push on the other side and opens  on the  other side.

Overall, I will give this shampoo and conditioner  with okra seeds a 3 out of 5 stars.

Yves Rocher Skin and Hair Care Products

Okay, where do I begin?  I have a long list of products to share to you  that was sent to me for review by Yves Rocher.  I was so delighted when I opened the box because  it contains so many products  and I could not wait to try all of them.  I think, you would understand how I feel if you see  a load of beauty goodies like this in a package.

Let me  show you the Hair Care Products first.  They sent me 5 bottles (10.1 oz) bottles of  shampoo with different scents that includes:

1. Nutrition Nutri-Silky Treatment Shampoo with Avoine Oat - it's silicone free, paraben free, and colorant free. This is really good for dry hair as it restores its natural beauty with its nourishing, organic oat milk.  This nourishes hair fiber and gives it more volume.  This would make your hair supple, silky, and shiny.  My hair tends to be a little dry depending on the weather so this is perfect to use when I have a dry hair.
2. Brilliance Shine Vitality and Radiance Shampoo with Organic  Calendula Marigold - just like the first one, this is also  free from silicone, paraben and colorant.  At first I was hesitant about this scent as we all know that marigold  does not really smell good but when I opened the bottle and sniffed it, it actually smell good.Now, if your hair lost its natural shine, this is the shampoo you would want to use as it would restore it.
3. Lissage  or  Smoothing with Okra Seeds - Okra is a popular vegetable in Asia.  Although I am not fond of eating Okra because of its slimy texture, I am very interested on how this works as a shampoo.  Okra  has a smoothing property, it nourishes, and it would relaxed your hair effortlessly.  So if you have a frizzy kind of hair, this would make a good shampoo for you.
4. Volume with Mauve Mallow -  A volumizing shampoo, also paraben, colorant, and silicone free.  If you have a fine hair , this is a perfect shampoo for you as it has a volume enhancing organic mallow.  This will give your hair more body and  restore it's texture and shape.
5. Douceur or Gentle Super Soft Shampoo with Witch Hazel - also free from the ones mentioned above.  The organic witch hazel in it will help restore  hair's natural beauty  for both younbg and old.  It makes  hair supple, soft, and easy to style.  My daughter and I love this one.

Now, onto the hair conditioner.  I received three 6.7 fl.oz  bottles of conditioner.  Two of these  are the partners for the two shampoo above, the one with  okra seeds and  oats.

1. Lissage or Smoothing with Okra Seeds - As I have mentioned in the shamppo, this is great for   those who have frizzy hair.  This would complete the   taking care of your frizzy har together with the champoo  This  acts as a good detangler.  The scent of this is a bit stronger for me.
2. Nutri-Sliky cComnditioner with Oat is good for hair that is dry and brittle.  If your hair constantly breaks, this  would be a good conditioner together with the shampoo to take care of the problem.    Aside from the nourishing organic oat milk, it also has a sweet almond oil.  I love the smell of this one.
3. Reparation or Repair Nutri Repair Conditioner with Jojoba - this is  good for a very dry and frizzy hair.   It has an organic jojoba and sweet almond oil.  It smoothes, repairs, and nourishes hair fiber.  I also love the smell of this one, very mild and soothing.

This Radiance Rinsing Vinegar  interest me the most as when I think aboout vinegar, it  immediately register as  sour and not really a good smell.   I opened up the bottle and  was so surprised that all I can smell is pure  raspberry scent.  So what do you use this for?  Before your last rinsing, you can apply this in your hair  to get the  smoothing benefits from it.  Interesting  eh?  Have you ever used   a product like this?

The last hair care that I received is the Repair Balm Dry Ends with oatmeal.  This  repairs damaged  ends of your hair which is enriched with  almond oil and oat milk from organic plants.  You can apply this at the end of your hair, this does not need rinsing.


Now, I am  introducing you to the Skin Care Products. They sent me three bottles of Perfumed Shower Gel.

1. Cocoa and Pistachio Nut - a perfumed  shower gel that brings me  home.  We always have cocoa  plant at the back of our home  when I was a kid.  My Dad planted it there and we got to  enjoy it's fruits before he passed.  Upon smelling this shower gel, I immediately remember my Dad.  It has an exquisite sensation of comfort  This is the one I am using now and love  it!
2. Flower Party - this has a very sweet smell to it.  It has  organic cornflower water that will intoxicates you with its delectable  and fruity scent.  
3. Neroli Secrets D'Essence - it has a  delicate and subtle floral musky notes to it.  It is kind of strong for me but it  definitely smells good.  It also has  an organic cornflower water, orange blossom, and  and essential oil of Beroli.

I received two bottles of  Perfumed Lotion.  One is Flower Party and the other is Neroli.  When it comes to scent, I prefer using the  Flowerparty as  the Neroli is a bit  strong.  They are both moisturizing lotion so  which leaves the same subtle soft skin.

This  Liquid Hand Sopa really bring the home feel for me.  It has cocoa and pistachio nut in it.  It  does not make your  hands  feel dry  like other hand soap.

This Anti-Age Global  is a complete anti Aging Day Care  with pant source cells.  I never really care to use any skin  products until I hit the 40 mark this year.   .  This new generation of anti aging skin care  fights the major sign  of skin agin.  This is  especially created for  the comfort of  dry skin


I  started using this last night so we will see after a month or so of using if this improves  my skin.

Now to relax our soul after a stressful day, lighting  this scented candle with cocoa and pistachio nut scent would be a perfect  thing to do to have an enjoyable night.  I love  lighting a candle  especially after  you took a shower, it is like a therapeutic   time to end the day.


I would like to thank Yves Rocher for these wonderful products they sent me.

5 Extreme Things People Go Through For Thicker Hair

Unfortunately, many people aren’t blessed with the thick, luscious hair that they desire. They struggle with hair thickening products that just don’t work. This turns them towards extreme methods to get thicker hair. Transitions Hair have compiled a list of five extreme things people go through for thicker hair.

Hair Extensions

Hair extensions are long thin lengths of hair that can be easily attached to your hair in order to add more length or to make it more voluminous. Hair extensions are a great idea for the special occasions or nights out, as they can be easily taken out the next day. However, you can get more permanent hair extensions, such as hair transplants, which are used to create more volume around the crown area of you head.

Using Feminine Products

One of the more controversial ways to obtain thicker hair is by using Miconazole Nitrate, an antifungal agent used to treat yeast infections in women. One of the reasons using feminine products is a good way to thicken your hair is because Miconazale contains an antifungal cream that that kills off fungus on your scalp that prohibits natural hair growth, allowing it to cleanse your scalp and helping your hair to grow more voluminously.

Wash Your Hair In Onion Water

You may think that onions are only good for stinging your eyes while you’re trying to chop them up for dinner, but they are also good to thicken your hair. By boiling onions and washing your hair with the water, your hair will grow extra fast and thicken overnight. The scent of the onions wont linger in your hair, though if you want to be sure, just rinse it a couple of times in cold water.

Eat More Spicy Food

Spicy food means thicker, fuller hair! Because hair loss is caused by an inadequate flow of blood to the hair follicles, certain spicy peppers increase the blood flow to your hair follicles, resulting in healthier follicles and thicker, stronger hair. If you’re not a fan of spicy foods, simply add cayenne pepper directly to your hair.

Use A Hair Nutrition Dietary Supplement

A healthy diet promotes healthy hair growth. Lifestyle problems such as unhealthy eating, and medical and emotion issues, can prevent your body from absorbing all the nutrients it needs to allow your hair to grow as full and thick as you want it to be. Significant trauma can lead to hair loss, which may be temporary, but can be permanent. Viviscal Extra Strength Hair Growth is a 100% drug free dietary supplement that is clinically proven to nourish your hair and promote healthy, thick hair growth. Its formula includes AminoMar, which has been clinically proven to help speed up the growth phase of the hair growth cycle.

If you’re struggling to get the hair you always wanted, why not try these five extreme things to get thicker, fuller hair? They may seem odd, but they really do work!

Babyliss Tourmaline 500 Hair Curler

People   would always want what they don't have right?  When I was a kid, I would always bug my  mother to curl my straight hair.  I don't know why I had that fascination of curly hair when I was young;  Now that I am older, I love my  natural straight hair.  Once in a while, I  like having a  different look just to break the monotone of my hair style. I am glad that  there are products that can satisfy that "want" for a lot of women like me.  

I have received another  set of  hair products from Flat Iron Experts.

1.  Babyliss Tourmaline 500 Hair Curler ($84.99), rated number two from the best curling iron list from Flat Iron Experts.  This specific curling iron emits  negative ions and far infrared heat that brings additional benefits to your hair such as; eliminating static electricity, preserved more moisture within your hair shaft, neutralizes odor, and causes less damage to  your hair cuticle.

2.  KQC Thermal Shine Spray ($13.99), to protect your hair from heat of the curling or  any other flat iron products.  I like it that  there is product like this that  could help avoid cetain damage to your hair.

I don't really want the heavy curl, I just want  a little swirl to my hair  just to feel a little "kinkiness" hehehe.  The key to   keeping the curl  is by  leaving it as it is  after you  curl it.  If you brush it right away, you will end up  with a straighter hair again just like  my hair below.  I did not wait a longer time and I brushed it so I lost the curl.

I am not an expert when it comes to using hair products such as  hair curler but it is always  nice to try  new stuff.  You learn things by  trying right?  So when you feel like you are tired looking at your  everyday hair style, try a little something different.


You can check out the other hair products that Flat Iron Experts sent me before for review. I love using that one whenever I have to go somewhere.  If you are looking for  the right product to  enhance the look of your hair style, check out  Flat Iron Experts through the links I have provided in this post.  They  have  a 20% off back to school promo with most of their  products.  Just use the coupon code APPLE upon check out.

4 Different treatments for thicker hair

Thinning hair can be a real drag. For many women (and guys too!) our hair is part of our identity, and we all want to look our best. While that may sound superficial, they say that first impressions last, so when you want your first impression to look healthy and well-groomed, there are a few different ways you can improve the thickness of your hair.

Overall health check

If your hair has suddenly thinned or you are experiencing bald patches, get thee to the doctor. There are a number of medical conditions that can cause hair thinning, so if this sounds like you, it’s time for a check up. On the other hand, if you thinning hair has crept up on you and you have a clean bill of health, it may be that you are experiencing hereditary hair thinning. One way to check this is to look at your closest relatives. What do your parents’ hair look like? Your siblings? Chances are you will all have similar hair types.

Wash with care

Experiment with washing your hair less. It may take a week or two for your hair to adapt, (it may feel a bit oily while your scalp adjusts to the change) but if you can get away with less washing, your hair is less likely to become dry and brittle. While we’re on the topic of shampooing- check the label on your shampoo. Avoid brands that use sulphates, as these harsh detergents have no place on your beautiful hair. Go for good quality shampoos and conditioners. Hairdressers recommend applying a deep-conditioning mask at least once per week.

Style guide

When styling your looks, avoid heat treatments as much as possible. Heat damages the hair and increases the likelihood of hair breakage. Opt for naturally air-drying your hair, and only apply hot irons or hairdryers on special occasions. If you love the poker-straight locks that are achieved using hair straighteners, at least try to get a few days out of them (see above tip about washing your hair less!).

Quick fixes

To add extra volume, try clip-in hair extensions. These are quick and fun for a special occasion, and unlike weaves or glue-in hair extensions, they won’t damage your hair in the process. If a more subtle effect is required, consider keratin fibre sprays, which effectively ‘fill in’ the thin areas of your hair. Visit biothikaustralia.com.au for an example of this kind of product. If you aren’t experiencing hair-thinning, but would still like more volume, try styling your hair using volumising sprays, which can give the illusion of up to 30% more hair. Whether your hair is just a little bit limp, or seriously thinning, there are a number of ways you can achieve thicker hair. For best results, take a multi-faceted approach, and try all four of these different treatment options. Written by Amelia Stuckey

All Your Hair Can Be at nuNAAT

When I was growing up, I always  have a long dark hair.  My Mom would always remind me to comb my hair neatly or else she would cut it short.  We never  had fancy products to use then so sometimes, my Mom would treat my hair with fresh coconut milk which makes it  shiny and free of tangles.

However, when I was in college, I got so  skinny that long hair makes me look  old  that I cut it very short.   When my husband met me, my hair was very short so he suggested that  I should grow back my  hair longer again when I showed him  a picture of me with a long hair.  So since then, my hair is long again.  Oh boy, pardon me for the short travel  down memory lane lol.

Okay, back to reality now  folks.  I was given a chance to try  a whole set of fine  hair care products  from nuNAAT.  They sent me this  whole set of NAAT  Silicon with Fortifying options.  I have been using this for almost two weeks now and so far I love it.  Tghe set includes  a 16.9 fl oz bottle of shampoo,  10.5 oz  leave-in, 8.8 oz fortifying  hair mask, and 3.3 fl oz  hair serum hair polisher.  

The shampoo has a strengthening and revitalizing hair agents that provides flexibility and shine to your hair.  When you lather your hair with it, leave it for about two minutes before rinsing.

After shampooing my hair, I put this fortifying  hair mask, leave it to act for three minutes before rinsing it  and oh, the smell is just  divinely delicious!  This fortifying mask has a  moisturizing agent that helps nourish and revitalizes  the hair, leaving it stronger and  more manageable.  

I usually put the leave-in cream when my hair is just a little damp before brushing it.  This helps moisturize and detangles  my hair.  No rinsing is needed on this one.  This also helps prevent  dryness of your hair.

Now if your hair is a little frizzy like mine, you  would want to put this  hair polisher.  This gives you a pearl shiny hair.  To get in touch with nuNAAT,  like their  Facebook page  or follow them through  Twitter and connect with them.  You can also  look at some of the testimonials of the customer s through  the  Youtube videos.

So what   separates nuNAAT from other  hair care products?  nuNAAT uses natural strengtheners like Ceramides and Keratin, plus shine enhancers like Silk and Pearl Proteins, in addition to the taming powers of Silicone combine to restore even the dullest, driest, most damaged hair.  Those combinations  leaves your hair shinier and  even more beautiful.

Thank You nuNAAT for making my hair  shinier and  more manageable.

Beauty Stop Online

My daughter love her long hair but she doesn't like it when I brush her hair and it hurts due to tangles. We tried a product before and it worked fine in detangling her hair but the problem is that, it doesn't smell very good. So I looked for something that I could use for her hair and found the Miracle Leave-In product from It's a 10  at  Beauty Stop Online.

It's a 10 created this  Miracle Leave-In Product that does things instantly which includes:

1. repairs dry and damaged hair.
2. add shine
3. detangles - a very important factor that I was looking for
4. control frizz
5. seals and protects hair color
6. prevent split ends
7. stop hair breakage
8. create silkiness
9. enhances natural body
10. flat iron spray and thermal protection

Beauty Stop Online also sent me this Clairol Professional.  Sadly, I won't be able to use this as it says in the instruction that only licensed cosmetologists can use it and it also needs creme developer so I might give this to  a colleague I know who works at a beauty salon.

I also have one more product to review from Beauty Stop Online.  I will be posting the review at my shopping blog as soon as we use it already.  I am still waiting for my husband's hair to grow a little longer so I can  cut it with the Babyliss  haircut set that I got from B.S.O. 

I cut 5 inches out of her long hair, it's getting so long that it's hard to  brush it.

I finally found a product that  makes her smile every time I brush her hair.  NO more tears, hooray!   Thanks a lot Body Stop Online!

If you are having a problem with your  daughter's hair and need an effective detangler, this one works!
