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!

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
