Briogeo Don't Despair Repair! Leave-in Mask Review!

Briogeo Don't Despair Repair is seriously a game changer for me. A leave-in mask that not only protects your hair from the styling tools but its also repairing. My hair is very damaged from when I bleached it all, which led me to cut and dye my hair black with the hopes that this would help "disguise" the damage. 

After just one time using this product I notice an immediate change to the feel and look of my hair. It feels softer, with more bounce, and shine. I will definitely keep using and I recommend it to anyone with hair! 

How To Use: Wash your hair as you would normally, skipping a mask tho..... Spray it evenly on your hair. 

My Tips: If you are air drying your hair, only apply it to your mid and ends of hair. This will help prevent "flat" hair look. 

What The Briogeo Website Say: 

WHO IT'S FOR:  For those with dry, damaged, and brittle hair that want an instant reparative treatment for healthy looking hair.

WHAT IT IS: A strengthening and reparative leave-in deep conditioner that provides repair benefits beyond an in-shower experience and produces healthy, stronger hair in between washes and heat styling. 

WHAT IT DOES:  The unique micro-encapsulated argan oil adheres to the surface of the hair and closes structural gaps on the hair shaft. The hair cuticle is restored, leaving hair stronger, healthier, and hydrated.

SAFE FOR:  Color treated, keratin treated, chemically-treated, and relaxed hair.

Price: $28

Want A Flat Tummy? Drink These Fat Burning Miracles!

I don't know about you but I have never taken diet pills or even think they are save or work! How can putting man made products (chemicals) in to your body be better then regular exercise, diet and all natural foods that can speed up your metabolism. How fast or slow our metabolism is determines how we process fat and how easy or not we loose weight. Below are clinically proven drinks that I personally drink and will not only aid in your weight loss goals but will also give you beautiful glowing skin and hair! 

Beet, Carrot, and Apple Juice Blend 

This delicious and nutrient rich drinks is known to aid your metabolism and help improve your stamina in the gym. I like drinking this before I head to the gym and its benefits are so amazing on your skin, hair and nails that you will become obsessed with this drink. Use a food extractor or blender and mix all three ingredients, I also like to add some ginger roots to boost the benefits even more!

Green Tea

Green tea is rich in antioxidants and catechin which burns fat and leads to a better figure. If you are planning to lose that belly fat, this is exactly the drink for you. Caffeine is a stimulant and burns calories faster. Green tea is your perfect fat buster it energizes you and keeps you blood sugar level in check. I drink green tea in the morning after my work out and with my breakfast. 

Grapefruit, Cinnamon, Apple Cider Vinegar And Honey

This is definitely my favorite drink to aid my fitness goals, I also find it so delicious and refreshing. Drink this after each meal to speed up your metabolism and burn fat. Grapefruit is rich in vitamin C which is needed for a strong immune system. Its high levels of enzymes is what aids the weightloss benefits. 

Cinnamon is also a very known ingredient to loose weight, it increases the metabolism of glucose. Since high blood sugar levels can lead to increased storage of fat by the body, cinnamon helps prevent this increased storage of fat and enables you to lose weight.

Apple Cider Vinegar is the key ingredient in this drink, it helps suppresses your appetite, lowers blood sugar levels, burns fat, improves metabolism and more. Add one to two tablespoons to your drink and enjoy all these benefits. 

Last but not least honey, while its benefits are yet to be known in weightless it definitely helps this drink taste better! 

Glamglow Giftsexy Ultimate Anti-Aging And Clearing Skin Gift Set Review!

I took major advantage of Sephoras 20% off event last week to purchase some of the products I have been hesitant to buy but found over priced. I had my eyes on the Glamglow masks for some time, but I'm very picky when it comes to skincare products. My skin has been acting pretty good lately with the occasional little break out here or there, not complaining at all since I know it can be 10 times worst. 

This set contains:

- 1.7 oz Youthmud Tinglexfoliate Treatment 

- 0.5 oz Supermud Clearing Treatment 

- 1 oz Youthcleanse Daily Exfoliating Cleanser 

- Dual-ended applicator brush 

This gifts set is amazingly priced at $69 and its worth every penny, I have been using the cleanser at night time to remove my makeup and it does a really good job at removing my makeup and exfoliating my skin but also super dry so I will not be using this everyday. The masks are really with all the hype, I tried the Youthmud first and my skin was glowing, like even my husband commented on how great my skin looked. 

Today I tried the Supermud clearing treatment and wow I LOVE it too, I could actually see it working on deep cleaning my pores. After 10 minutes I rinsed off and my skin looked so much brighter and clearer, I took a picture (below) right after to show you the results. The kit comes with a dual ended applicator brush and it helps you pick up the product from the jar and apply it effortlessly. 

Overall I am really happy with this purchase and will definitely be adding it to my beauty routine and even in my studio to use on clients!

Postpartum Hair Loss And How To Grow New Healthy Hair!

Pregnancy comes with a lot of side effects for me, mostly negative like body aches, and nausea but it also has a few positives like my skin never looks better and my hair gets nice and thick. Unfortunately neither lasts forever and soon after pregnancy everything goes back to normal. The one thing I'm not looking forward to at all is the hair loss, and I'm doing everything in my knowledge to make this part not so dramatic by using and consuming things that will promote healthy hair growth.

 I started making (green) juices every morning rich in vitamins and proteins, also I make sure to drink half my body weight in water and take my prenatal vitamins. I am breastfeeding so the extra water and juices help me make more milk as well (win win) and stay hydrated and energized. These are some of my favorite hair masks to do, and I immediately notice a difference when I prepare these for my hair.

A Quick And Easy Way To Heal Your Acne Fast!/ Una Manera Rapida Y Facil De Curar Tu Acne En Casa!

My skin has been getting very neglected lately, to be completely honest I'm a hot mess right now. I have been dedicating all my time and energy between taking care of the girls and the home renovations leaving no time for me or my blog :(. To add to all this, for the first time in years I currently don't have a skin routine that I'm following and trust me when I say my skin type REALLY needs a routine to stay acne free. All the stress, sleepless nights and now a cold my skin decided to take its revenge and break out everywhere! I'm currently dealing with some serious breakouts not only are they in the worst places but they are painful and really big.

 I cant decide what routine to start my skin back and will be looking for a second opinion from my dermatologist but in the meantime I'm going to take down some of the inflammation with one of my favorite DIY mask. A great way to help dry out those pimples as soon as they pop up is to use an Aspirin mask. Keep in mind it can be drying, so if your little red-friend looks like he is drying out, then try to keep it calm with chamomile or just leave it alone for a few days. I recommend using this for pimples that are new and need some drying power. 

In a bowl, crush 5-10 Aspirins and add a few drops of water to make a paste. Apply mixture on affected area and let sit for 10-15 minutes before washing off. If you feel your skin tingling or burning, rinse the mixture off (this is rare, but just in case). Keep in mind this is powerful, so don’t do this more than every 5-6 days or so!

If you have an oily T-Zone this recipe is safe enough to use on the entire area, but keep it on for 5-10 minutes. Consult your dermatologist for any questions regarding the face mask. 

Good Luck Xxx

Mi piel ha sido muy descuidada últimamente, para ser totalmente honesta, estoy hecha un lío ahora. He estado dedicando todo mi tiempo y energía entre cuidar de las niñas y los las renovaciones en el hogar que no me deja tiempo para mí o mi blog : (. Añadir a todo esto, por primera vez en años que actualmente no tengo una rutina que que siga para el cuidado de mi piel y creen mí cuando digo mi tipo de piel necesita una rutina para estancia el acné libre. Todo el estrés, noches sin dormir y ahora esta gripe mi piel decidió tomar su venganza y estallar acné por doquier! Actualmente tengo unos brotes de acné que no sólo están en los peores lugares pero son dolorosos, y realmente grande. 

No puedo decidir qué rutina para iniciar mi piel y voy a buscar una segunda opinión de mi dermatólogo pero mientras tanto voy a tomar algunos de las mascarillas anti inflamación con uno de mis favoritos máscara. Una buena forma de ayudar a secar los granos tan pronto como aparezcan es usar una aspirina máscara. Tenga en cuenta que puede ser secado, por lo tanto, si tu pequeño rojo-amigo parece que se está secando no trate esta mascarilla. Yo recomiendo usar este para las espinillas que son nuevos y necesitan una potencia de secado. 

En un recipiente, y aplastar a 5-10 aspirinas y añadir unas gotas de agua para hacer una pasta. Aplicar esta mezcla en la zona afectada y dejarlo reposar durante 10-15 minutos antes de lavar. Si usted siente que su piel hormigueo o ardor, enjuagar la mezcla (es raro, pero sólo en el caso). Tenga en cuenta que esta es potente, de modo que esto no se debe hacer más de una vez cada 5 ó 6 días o menos. 


 Consulte a su dermatólogo para cualquier pregunta con respecto a la máscara facial.
