I love long hair, but not just long hair…I love hair with volume. And so I was very excited to receive complimentary and try out a volumizing iron designed just for that specific purpose!
Rootie the Rootlifter is such a smart idea. Its checker-like surface when heated and used on the under layers of my hair, gives it an instant lift without backcombing! I was honestly getting tired of teasing my hair every time I styled it, but I will no longer have to do it.
I love that I use less products on my hair now while styling it, but get even better results. The specific surface pattern of the Rootie the Rootlifter helps create that subtle texture in the under layers of my hair, which lifts the top layer of my hair up and gives it a perfect lasting volume.
I am honestly very happy that I found this iron and it is a “must” for me every time I style my hair! I definitely recommend it!
Marine inspired pieces are not something I have a lot of in my wardrobe, but this nautical striped top works great with my light blue jeans. To make the outfit pop, I added little touches to it by using blue accessories!
I love trying new skincare products! That’s why I was so excited to receive a gift from Shaklee with some of their top beauty products. Their Shaklee Youth skin care set includes six products. All the products target and address aging at the cellular level of the skin, which is exactly why I was excited to use it.
Shaklee YOUTH products are all 100% vegan and cruelty free. Their comprehensive “free of” list contains over 2,500 harmful chemicals and questionable ingredients that you will never find in any of their YOUTH products.
I’ve been using the products for a week now, and my skin feels more refreshed and smoother. The products are beautifully packages, and I love how their fresh scent.
The four products of the Youth Activating BB Cream SPF30 are supposed to be used in steps. They correct, hydrate, nourish, and protect the skin with chemical free SPF30 sunscreen.
The Youth Activating Serum is the one I was especially looking forward to trying out, and I did like how refreshed and rejuvenate my skin feels.
And the best is the last…the product I absolutely love is the Radiance C+E.
The packaging is beautiful, and it’s fun using the golden capsules once a day. It’s different, and you can be sure you are using the perfect amount of it. -)
It’s been only a week since I started using it, but my skin already appears to look brighter and feels smoother. I definitely want to continue using it, and I am sure I will see even better results.
Recently I got introduced to GuestBox, a welcome box that is perfect for any hosting experience that will delight your guests. The box includes everything they need to start their stay in the best way.

As I was looking through all the high-end products, GuestBox delivered to me such a warm and a cozy feeling. It did make me feel like it was packaged just for me and knew exactly what I needed. The products are unisex and great for up to two guests that are staying for a week or even longer.
There are some items that I couldn’t wait to open. One of the highlights was Commodity’s StoryBook, which is a selection of 15 perfume vials that cater to all senses.
Other great products I want to mention is the Luna Play, a silicone face-cleansing device, by Swedish company, Foreo and the Exfoliating Body Scrubber by Daily Concepts! It felt so good to pamper myself while relaxing in a hot tub. Just think how thankful and happy your guests will be after a long day exploring the city or even a long flight!
I highly recommend GuestBox. It’s not just a subscription box, it’s a welcome box, it’s a box that will make you happy and will delight your guests.
Long and healthy hair is what I always loved and wanted, and so I am very open to trying new hair products to find the ones that are the best for my hair. However, I have to admit that no matter which products I trying, I still keep going back to Pantene brand. That changed a few months ago, after I tried Kenra Professional for the first time. (Click here to see the review.) Today I am happy to try Kenra Platinum Collection that I received in the mail a few weeks ago.
The collection includes 5 products:
Kenra Platinum Snail Anti-Aging Shampoo
Kenra Platinum Snail Anti-Aging Conditioner
Kenra Platinum Snail CC Crème
Kenra Shaping Spray
Kenra Platinum Heat Block.
All a girl needs! -)
I wrote about Kenra Professional® before, but let me just remind you that it’s a purely professional brand dedicated to understanding and serving today’s stylists. Three unique brands, Kenra, Kenra Platinum, and Kenra Color, are each driven by the daily needs of stylists. A complete range of high-performance products combined with straightforward and accessible education gives stylists the confidence to address every client’s need.
The Anti-Aging Shampoo is enriched with Snail Essence, which is a highly concentrated blend of proteins. I like how my hair feels smooth, shiny ,and squeaky clean after washing. However, it also feels a little dry…And that’s a perfect time for my favorite Kenra product…Kenra Platinum Snail Anti-Aging Conditioner! If there was only one product I could have for my hair, it would be this one. It delivers moisture, radiance and resilience to my hair, it really does!
Next product is Kenra Platinum Snail CC Crème. I‘ve never used hair creams, but I gave this one a try. It’s lightweight and without styling hold. My hair feels soft and has a healthier look as a result.
Here is a great news! Kenra introduces the 1st ever professional alcohol free hairspray. It’s Kenra Shaping Spray. It maximizes moisture retention and, the best part is… it adds high shine finish to my hair!
I am guilty of sometimes styling my daughter’s hair with a hairdryer and occasionally straightening it. So using this next product on her hair makes me feel a little better. It’s Kenra Platinum Heat Block Spray. It provides heat protection up to 450 degrees F and finishes with a high hold. It’s enriched with bee propolis, a natural resin that forms a cast around the cuticle for unparalleled heat protection.
As a result of trying this new Kenra Collection, I like all the products. The only thing is that the shampoo felt like it was drying my hair a little. But if followed with Kenra conditioner right after, the results are amazing! Plus, I found my favorite conditioner that replaces the Pantene conditioner I’ve used for many years.
Kenra Platinum Collection is available at ULTA Beauty.
Thank you @Influenster and @KenraProfessional for sending me the Kenra Platinum Collection complementary to hear my honest review!
A few months ago, I was introduced to Jan Marini Skin Research brand, and learned that it’s one of the most respected brands in professional skin care. I received their Hyla3D skincare product, used it and wrote my review about it. I was impressed by the product; in fact, it’s an important part of my daily routine now.
Since I liked the results I got from the first product they sent me, to receive another one from Jan Marini was exciting. It’s C-ESTA Serum!
The description for the product states that it’s “a powerful antioxidant cocktail, featuring Vitamin C and DMAE, shown to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and uneven skin texture.” And that’s exactly what I want to see on my face… I want to see no wrinkles, and I expect lift, firm and tighten the appearance of facial contours…. Who wouldn’t want that?!
After using it for a couple of weeks, almost every day, I must say that I like the product. I used C-ESTA Serum daily on my face and neck daily. Just like Hyla3D, it gives my skin a tingling sensation right after applying it on, and in a minute or so it makes my skin feel tighter and look smoother. I believe it reduces the appearance of my wrinkles.
However, I tend to go back to the Hyla3D, as I like how much smoother and hydrated skin feels after it. I also like it’s thicker and creamier texture more than of the C-ESTA Serum.
With all that said I like both products. They both make my skin feel more youthful and hydrated. They are also both great for all types of skin!
But, if there was only one product I can buy out of the two, Hyla 3D is my first choice.
I do recommend you to try out Jan Marini skincare product, and if you do, use it routinely. You will see your skin more youthful younger and healthier looking skin.
