Herbal Essences Review: The Good and the Bad

Herbal Essences Hello Hydration is one of the FEW conditioners I've re-purchased over and over. It is a Moisturizing Conditioner infused with Hawaiian Coconut & Orchid. I love it because it makes my hair feel REALLY soft and it is super affordable. This product is great no matter what texture or hair type you have. If you haven't tried this out you should give it a try. I know a lot of natural girls use this on their hair as a co-wash and I have not seen or heard of a bad complaint yet. Since it is so inexpensive it will not hurt your pockets to try it out.

Now on the other hand, I tried this shampoo from Herbal Essences Color Me Happy Shampoo For Color-Treated Hair. It is infused with Acai berries & satin. It was a total FAIL!!!!! I tried this Herbal Essence Shampoo and it dried my hair out so bad. I first bought it when i dyed my hair and i figured it would be good to help keep the color. It made my hair really stiff. This was so bad I started to use it to wash my dog, to shave my legs, and to wash my body when I ran out of body wash (lol). I would not recommend this product at all (but then again maybe I just got a bad batch...idk). The good thing is that is smells really good.

Have you ever tried Herbal essences products? which one? Or whats your favorite shampoo and/or conditioner?

BET Awards 2011 Fashion Highlights

I saw some hits and misses (fashion-wise) while watching the 2011 BET Awards.

The host, Kevin Hart. I like how he kept it sporty and classy. He didn't wear a full on suit but he still looks nice. By the way, his suit is by Yves Saint Laurent.

Keri Hilson. I really like this look even though it is kinda "club-y" to me. Nonetheless, it is still a cute outfit.

Kelly Rowland worse a hot pink Marchesa dress. I LOVE this look on here. The pinkness looks great with her skin tone. Her performance was amazing too.

Kerry Washington looks gorgeous. The dress is Michael Kors Resort 2012 Collection

Mary J Blige's performance outfit is really cute. She took it back to the '90s with the outfit and the songs.

Big Sean's performance outfit. I think it would look much better if his pants were up and not sagging (lol) but its still a nice looking outfit.

Keke Palmer looks amazing. She is growing up and I like that she wore a more adult dress but not too grown.

Ne-yo. He looks nice. Really casual.

Idris Elba. He looks good...REALLY good (like yummy good lol). His outfit is nice but I'm adding him to the list because he is a beautiful piece of chocolate meat lol.

Tracee Ellis Ross looks FAB. Her body is still amazing and im loving those shoes. FIIIIEERRRCCCE.

There were definitely some misses last night lol...but we wont get into those.

Music Monday: Jessie J Who You Are

OMG Jessie J is my favorite female singer right now

Her voice is so amazing and her album came out a couple months ago and it was phenominal.

Her singing "Who You Are" in the subway. No studio, no background vocals, just her. and i truly love this song and the lyrics.

You cant tell me she isnt an amazing singer. She also wrote Miley Cyrus' Party In the U.S.A.

Here is her song Nobody's Perfect

Health/Fitness Tip

Health Tip:

Eat from the outsides of the store rather than the middle aisles. The outter perimeters of most grocery stores have dairy, vegetables/fruits, and meats. The inner aisles usually have more of the processed foods like chips, microwavable meals, and instant foods (which take longer to process through your body).

Fitness Tip:

Always warm up before a workout. Trust me, I hate warming up before a workout but it helps you burn more calories and prevents you from getting aches and cramps after you workout. Even if you have to do stretches like rolling your hips (like shakira lol) or moving your head in circular motions, it all gets your body warmed up for a workout.

I did not come up with these tips nor am I claiming to be a professional. I've learned about them as I have been on my "get healthy" journey.

Hope these tips have helped some of you out
