Not Your Mothers Beach Babe Review

Hello... so I have been trying to change my hair products a little bit. I didn't have my Ouidad stuff on me, so I reached for my tiny 2.99 Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Sea Salt Spray... and I loved the way it made my hair look... so I got the texturizing cream and the full size of the spray and I will put it to the test right now.

First off... It gives directions! Always super helpful especially if you don't know how to use something. Basically you use the cream on damp hair, either after taking a shower or after using the spray and then you scrunch it. I used it after a shower and I used the spray right afterwards. I just sprayed the spray, scrunched it a little, teased it a little and then combed through with my wide tooth-ed Ouidad comb and I took a little bit of my L'Oreal Total Repair 5 Dry oil and sprayed that and rubbed it through, just to give my hair a bit more moisture. My hair hasn't totally dried yet, but so far I like the way it looks and feels so far. Not too dry, I feel like I look like a beach babe. It's nighttime right now, I'll probably put a bit more of the spray and dry oil on tomorrow and let you know the full verdict.

It should also be noted that I don't heat style my hair at all. I don't use a blowdryer ever and its naturally curly so I typically don't need to style it at all.

And some pros of the product before I do a full review. The packaging is really nice. It's not huge packaging... but you only need a little bit of the cream to style your hair and I feel like the spray will last quite a while. The packaging for that's a little bigger. The cream is very travel friendly because it is a little sleeker for a styling cream and the spray also wouldn't be bad to travel with because it has a nice lock on it so it won't open up all in your bag.

It also smells super super nice. Remember the episode of friends where Phoebe tells Ross that he loves Rachel because he sniffed her hair when he hugged her and Ross said it smelled like coconuts?
I've been wanting a coconut smell with a subtle linger ever since seeing that episode... and this is exactly what I wanted.

And it's drugstore, they sell it at Ulta, probably even at Wall Marts, Targets, Grocery Stores, I know Beauty Plus Salon has it... and I got mine at Harmon. It's only 4.99-5.99 so for the price you really can't go wrong. They have a shampoo and conditioner as well... But I just wanted the styling products.

Alrighty so I really liked the way it looked today. I think it's a little bit beachier and now that it's sort of spring here in Jersey, I like the bechier look. I want to try to use it after I use my deep conditioner, because that will show it as it's best... So I'll update you again tomorrow...

Alrighty it was good I really liked it today. I thought y curls looked a bit tighter and my hair looked really long. If you're going to coachella or any festivals I would say that these are two good products to use.

I think my hair. Might have looked a bit frizzier throughout the day because it was a really hot and windy day... It was just kind of yucky out. It wasn't totally crazy, just a little bit poofy.

So yeah I'd definitely recommend this, for $5 you can't really go wrong. Loves it!

Byeeee!

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
