Bee Mine Review

Soooo.. I wanted to get to try all my Bee Mine products before I was able to make my blog review. I went ahead and purchased almost everything I could in the sample sizes so that I could get an overall idea of what I wanted to purchase at full price.
So the items I bought were:
1.Peppermint & Tea Tree Nourshing Shampoo 2 oz
2.Avocado Cream Balanced Conditioner 2 oz
3.Bee Hold Curly Butter - 2 oz
4.Bee Loved Hair & Scalp Moisturizer 2 oz
5.Deja's Hair Milk 2 oz
6.Juicy Moisturizing Daily Spritz 2 fl oz.
7.Luscious Balanced Cream Moisturizer 2 oz
8.Strawberry Kiwi Serum 2 oz (With Sulfur)

So here goes:
#1- The consistency of this product was more like a liquidy balm. I was skeptical if it would even lather on my head. I did it once and it didnt lather as good.. but then again I did have other oils so I always lather a second time and when I did, I got the lather that Im used to getting with my own regular shampoos. The first time I used this product I noticed that my hair was nice and moisturized before even applying the condishoner. But the second and third time I used it, unfortunatly it did not yeild the same results. It was still moisturizing but nothting special. As for the smell, nothing really to comment about. I really did not like the smell. It didnt spell like peppermint nor did it have a "tingle" like pepperment shampoos have but I did smell the tea tree fragrance. Will not be purchasing again.

#2- Condishoned my hair very nicely.. When I rinsed out my hair felt soft and moisturized. At first I was going to place this item on my buy again list but have found that the HE Long term treatment and Treseme worked just as fine. The smell was OK.. nothing major. Will not be purchasing again.

#3- This product did absolutely nothing for my hair. I washed my hair and applied this product then left my hair to air dry. My hair was sooo brittle feeling. My aloe gel makes my hair feel better than this. It was hard and not manageable at all. My hair was just sooo frizzy by the end of the day and dry. I came home and used the spritz but that didnt do my hair any justice either :( I wished that it would of worked for me.. I see soo many good reviews about people using this as for their wash and go routine. This product smelled very good.. I beleive I purchased the coconut. Ill just have to give this to my sisters and see if they like it for their texture of hair. Will not be purchasing again.

#4- This moisturizer is a very thick consistency.. Works well in my hair after a braid out or after a wash for moisture.. Its lays on thick but spreads nicely and lasts all day! I love that its so thick but maneagable. Smells very good too! May be purchasing this again.

#5- This product did nothing for my hair.. Unlike #4 it was not as moisturizing. Its a light milky consistancy.. so I tried it in my 15mo daughters hair and it worked really nicely. I usually use baby lotion in her hair and it worked similarly to that. We have different textures in hair and this my be why it worked better. Smells nice.. mixture of smells but I cant remember exactly.. but its nice enought to use in my daughters hair and im REALL particular what goes on her hair.. but being that other products work well in her hair... I will not be purchasing again.

#6- I used this in conjuction with the curly butter to try to soften up my curls.. I also used it on a fresh braid out for moisture. I dont think It really did anything that great for me.. another produc that I can do without.. until I find a style that may need this.. Will not be purchasing again.

#7- LOVE LOVE LOOOOOVVVEE this stuff!!! OMG.. smells amazing and moisturized dry and wet hair fantastically!!! :D Very happy about this product.. Made my favorites.. It feels and covers better than Cantu Shea Butter and has about the same consistancy. When my hair is "nappy" it smoothes out the kinks and allows me to comb through with hardly any breackage!!!! LOVES IT!!! :D Will be purchasing again.

#8- I have only used the product twice since I received it. I love the kiwi-Strawberry sent. A little goes a long way (lessoned learned) lol! it will drip down the side of your face. It doesn't seem like its a lot when putting it on but it will stretch so use sparingly. I havent been using a lot to see any growth or results as yet. I would like to continue with this product for at least a month or so to know if its helping. I know there are other oil growth products out there like Doo Gro.. just to name one.. so im going to take this seriously because if I can find something local and cheaper that works the same then I may just have to skip but as for right now.... I will be purchasing again.

Well thats it for right now.. I would also like to try the Bee Mine BEE•U•Ti• FUL Moisturizing Deep Conditioner. I may order a sample to try when I order my full bottles of the growing serum and the lucious balanced creme moisturizer.
I hope that my review helps out. I am just giving my honest opinion on what my experience was.. of course everyones will be different.

I would like to read reivews on these products:
-C B Smooth products (including relaxer) AND
-Bodiphier

Also, Im thinking about doing like a wig (human hair) for this winter.. or maybe even a sew in .. a looong one! ;p
I want something new... and I want to give my hair a break.. cant wait!! :D

Time to Blog...

Why I havent been blogging much...
I am pregnant.. again!!!! :) I am about 5 months now (17 weeks) and I am ready for this little blessing to come in January. This pregnancy is totally different from the first and has its own pros and cons but Im keeping hope alive to have a wonderful end 2nd and 3rd trimester!!!
I find out if its a boy or girl (well hopefully, if the baby chooses to comply) on September 1st!! So Im a little excited about that too!

The Weather....
Right now I CANT STAND THIS SUMMER HEAT!!!! It is extremely too hot to do anything at all..and its not because I am pregnant but its just too unbearable.. I dont even want my toddler going out in this heat because its soo brutal! I cant wait until fall and winter!! I LOOOVVEEE the cold :)
Im a September baby so I guess thats why!

Update on Tresseme!
I have tried it and LOVE IT!!!!!! The smell of the poo and con are soo nice, and I can even deal with it with my pregnancy.. It made my hair feel really soft and it didnt feel stript at all. After the poo and con I applied Neutrogena Triple Moisture leave-in and some oil to seal and air dried.. My hair felt soooo soft.. well it feels sooo soft because I have been wearing my hair like this for the past 3 days now :)
Other hair news!
I am still waiting for my order from Bee Mine. I placed it on Saturday and via Fed Ex it should be here by this Saturday.. I cant wait to smell and try those products too! ( AND YES, I did say SMELL!) LOL!!!!

Fitness..
So for the first time really while I was home waiting to go to work (since I work in the evenings now) I was able to watch one of the old episode of the Kardashians. I must say that I am truly upset with myself for not getting into this series.. I LOVED IT!!! and LOVE Kim Kardashians body!!! Not saying that I will ever have a body like hers but I can honestly say that its a "type" that I like.
Everytime Im pregnant I get into this major fitness kick in the middle of the pregnancy.. prob because that is when Im actually starting to gain the weight... go figure.. but after this baby I want to be done.. I dont think I can go through a pregnancy again.. or maybe wait a really loooooooooooong time! :)

Has anyone tried this shampoo and condish yet?

I saw the commercial and decided to try.. I figure if its organic and claims to be sulfate free then it may be a pretty decent poo and con.. I havent tried it as yet.. Just got it ysterday.. but I cant wait until wash day to try it.. :)
I also placed an order for some sample bee mine products and cant wait to get that too!!! YAY!!! :D I have been meaning to purchase products from bee mine for a while now but never really got a chance to do it.. I ordered a sample size in almost everything to get a feel of what I would like to try in the regular size since the prices are not really cheap (IMO) but if its good quality then I am willing to spend a few xtra bucks :)

Im SOOO Exhausted... LONG HAUL :)

Im starting to slack off again!! lol! Last post was almost a month ago. Its just a little hard since I started my semester of 23 credits plus working a full-time job.. On top of that a mother of an infant and wife.. You ever feel so tired that you feel all funny and delirious! LMBO!!!! (maybe I shouldnt be admitting I feel like this!) LOL!! I keep reminding myself that It is only temporary and the end is closer than what I think .. It will ALL be worth it in the end.. IT BETTER BE! :0D

GNC FOLLOWUP

Soooo.... as far as my GNC follow up.. I am soooooooo bad.. I mean EXTREMELY BAD, at following a steady regimine.. I only did like 3 out of the 7 days of the body clense.. It was just too much for me to keep up with.. There were just too many pills to take and some were just big 'ol horse pills.. Then the powder that I had to mix with water/juice was HORRIBLE!!! yuk! (im gagging just thinking about it now):~
I quit! My DH says that he will try the 5 days left of the product.. so I will see how it works out for him. I would give it 3 out of 5 stars as a rating.. While it did work (due to the fact that I was regular for those 3 days and im normally not, it was just nasty tasting and too many pills)


DIET
Since this didnt work for me I decided to try my good old ACTIVIA.. I love this stuff.. It really works for me and gets my digestive track moving.
I also wanted to try some sort of diet pill, just to jump start my metabolism.. After careful consideration and research of Ali and Quick Trim (the one Kim Kardashian endorses), I decided not to even try either at this point.. Ali just scared me with the loose stools and you have to decide when to take it as far as with a high fat meal.. and QT had just too much of a regimine I had to stick with.
So, I decided to go cheaper and with something more natural... I chose, MEGA-T Green Tea. The bottle claims to burn belly fat.. (which is my biggest problem) This is just twice a day.. one mid-morning and another mid-afternoon. Been doing this for about 3 days now.. not really noticing anything drastic but im going to try to give it a month and see how everything goes.

HAIR
Today I decided to stock back up on some hair products and buy some that I have been wanting to try..
What I purchased today at various stores was:
Silicon Mix by Avant
Kids Organics Shea Butter Detangling Moisturizing Hair Lotion
NTM Deep Recovery Mask
Henna 'n' Placenta Dual- Action Pac
Castor Oil

What I purchased online was:
Herbal Essence Long Term Relationship Split Ends
NTM Silk Touch
Burts Bees Pre-Shampoo Avocado Butter

I am VERY happy with my purchases and cant wait to use them!!!! YAY!!!!!!

TRAVEL
So DH and I have decided to take a mini vacation between Spring semester and Summer session of school.. We are both in school but seriously need some sort of break.. We are either going to JA or FL.. More info to come on that as to which one to go to.. but for now Im just excited to be going SOMEWHERE!!! ANYWHERE!!!! :D

Some pix :)

I decided to use my new camera my DH bought me for Christmas today and take some pics of myself! I only wore eyeshadow and light lipstick in the top pics.. The only pic I had on my full makeup is the last where Im in my car.. I think they came out really nice :)**OH YEAH... Puhh leeez excuse the eyebrows! hehehe! Enjoy!!! lol!

**The 2nd to the last one is a shot of my hair length.. didnt have a ruler but just so that I can always come back and view for updates! :*)
Tell me what you think???????? :0)

David Bambaii Shampoo Review

Sooo.. In my process of trying to find a good Sulfate free shampoo.. I came across this one at Sally's. I was originally looking for Creme of Nature (CON) (Green Label) but apparently was told that they no longer make this just the new orange bottle organic one which contains sulfate :( So anyways.. I purchased the David Bambaii Shampoo... Smells Great!! But left my hair feeling dry and clumps of hair was sticking together! :( I tried it one more time just to make sure that it wasnt me and I had to wash my hair over again with my CON shampoo which contained the sulfate and THAT actually helped my hair out..

So then I figured.. hmm, well maybe its just my hair type.. so I gave it to my sister to use who has fine hair.. Well, it did the same for her too.. Now its a good product and all and he worked with Kate Hudson on this.. Good for the enviornment and all.. but it absolutely SUCKS on my hair! I was upset.. It was on sale and all.. Orig. $9.99 on sale for $7.99 prob b/c its not that good :~()

Oh well.. you learn in this process I guess...
So I went out and purchased QP Elasta Shampoo which is def. Sulfate free.. havent tried it as yet but I will this Saturday evening on wash day!! :) Im excited to try! YIPEE!!!!

Sulu mini update

no pics.. sorry.. but just wanted to update that I have not been using this product on a regular basis.. I was really trying to do it to have a good review but it was just too messy and annoying.. The smell wasnt bad at all but with a 2 1/2 month old baby and nursing clinicals, working, working out again, and having a hubby to cater to, it was just all too much. (yeah, Im doing a lot right now! *snicker*) I will probobly try again because I really want to try MegaTek too.. So Ill possibly wait until December to try it again plus I really want to grow in my temple areas because they are looking really bad :( I can see hair growing in but it makes me feel soo bad..

I am still def. going to keep up my hair regimine.. Im excited about that.. Here is an update:

Ive been using S-curl in the morning after co washing and sealing moisture in w./ my oil.. My hair is sooo moisturized!! At night I baggy with GVP potion 9 and Herbal Essence on my ends.. Im loving this routine for my WNG's!! Im excited about getting some EO's like coconut, jojoba, pepperment, almond etc.!! :D Just have to go to prob out local Farmers Market to get some..
