Discover Natural with Abe's Market

As you may already know, I'm a huge monthly subscription box junkie! It took me a while to warm up to the idea of paying for more samples, but after so many companies came up with these boxes, I dived right in!

Now, I recently discovered Abe's Market which lets you select any 3 samples for just $2 (include shipping!). Each 3 sample pack is your "discover naturals pack" and you're only allowed to get 3 packs per person. This allows everyone to get a chance to try the samples and share the love. So, for $6, you get 9 samples which is AWESOME because w/ other sample boxes, you pay about 3 times as much and get the same # of samples.

Check it out here: http://www.abesmarket.com/discovernatural

If you try this out, let me know which samples you picked!! There are so many in the food, bath& body, and beauty categories that choosing 9 was difficult. :)

Suave Scalp Solutions Shampoo & Conditioner review

I was recently sent the NEW Suave Scalp Solutions set to try, which consists of the Anti-dandruff shampoo and conditioner. As you can see the coconut image on the bottle, the products contain the goodness of coconut oil as well as shea butter for moisturizing. When my hair/scalp gets really dry (over washing, probably) it tends to flake. This unpleasant dandruff which is noticeable due to my haircolor, can be quite, well, unpleasant to look at. So, after using this for the past week and a half, I've noticed no mo' flakes! My scalp's been looking nice and clean, and my hair smells terrific. Tip: When washing your hair everyday, don't shampoo all your tresses, just focus on the scalp and condition the rest!

Glow by Dr. Brandt Review

Want skin that glows and illuminates? If you're tired of a dull complexion, then first I recommend you to exfoliate & put on your favorite mask right away! It's time to clean up those dead skin cells. Then I would recommend the new Glow by Dr.Brandt kit that I have been recently using. It's a 2 part system with an Overnight Resurfacing Serum (for night) and a Ruby Crystal Retinol Hydracreme (moisturizer for day). Both products are made for all skin types, but if you have extremely sensitive skin, try a patch test first. I've been using these products for the past few weeks and have found my skin more radiant and who doesn't want that in the dull winter days?

The Overnight Resurfacing Serum is made for your nighttime routine. It can be a bit tingly at first so after continued usage, you can start to use this every night. For now, I use this every other night. During the day, I use the flesh-toned moisturizer that brings radiance to my skin. I like how it smooths my skin and makes it look so dewy and glowy. Since incorporating Glow by Dr. Brandt into my daily skincare routine, I have found my skin more healthy-looking, smooth, and radiant! Hallelujah! No more winter dullness!

Jergens® Ultra Healing® Extra Dry Skin Moisturizer Review

Some days it feels like winter, and some days it feels like Spring.. This yo-yo pattern is making it difficult to figure out what to wear and whether I should put away my winter clothes yet. I do know that my skin is still in need of moisture as my hands get really dry and sometimes red. This past few weeks, I've been testing out the Jergens Ultra Healing Extra Dry Skin Moisturizer. I've been using Jergens since I can remember, always had a bottle of it in my bathroom, so I wasn't too surprised when my skin felt at ease with this lotion. My scaly patches were healed and no more felt an itchiness on my dry skin! I use this right before I go to sleep or right after the shower (which is recommended). Either way your skin should feel instant relief, as mine did, from the first time I applied the Ultra Healing lotion. I'll be leaving this in the bathroom as usual for everyone to use.. :)
