What Is Old Is New Again.

                                           What Is Old Is New Again

I saw these shoes last week and I said "Oh, No!"  These shoes were in style many years ago and I didn't think that they were attractive then.

Not going to revisit this style for me but if you love it, then you can find it at your local, trendy, clothing store.

I have seen these shoes many times at my local thrift store for literally pennies on the dollar and you can learn how to sanitize them yourself.

We don't have to go broke for these old fashions that have made a comeback.

My Nightly Hair Regimen ( Organic Root Stimulator)

My Nightly Hair Regimen (Organic Root Stimulator)

This post contains an affiliate link which means that I will 
receive a small commission if a purchase is made.

Hello, Ladies, I picked up the Organic Root Stimulator Carrot Oil because 
I remember using it a while ago and frankly, don't remember the results that I
had with this product.

My hair has been natural five or six years and my hair is very thin
due to Alopecia.  I decided a few months ago that I was going
to try once more to restore my hair.

  When I saw this Organic Root Stimulator in the Beauty Supply store I
thought that I would give this product a try again.


When I opened the jar it looked a lot like Mayonaise and it smelled
similar.  I know it is supposed to have carrot oil in there but
I didn't smell carrots at all.

I was a little put off by the smell of this product so I said to myself
" I will not waste my money and will try it anyway"  I began to use
a little of this product on my scalp and the ends of my hair nightly,
before I went to bed.

I put my hair in two braids and slept with a stocking cap on 
because I didn't want to get this product on my pillows.


Organic Root Stimulator Carrot Oil can be a bit greasy but
I have to say that I am having some success with this product.

I will not make any false claims but my hair feels very soft and I
have no tangles in my hair.  It makes the texture of my hair look
very nice.

Have not noticed yet whether my hair is getting thicker but this
carrot oil really moisturizes and conditions my hair.

If it is too greasy, you can actually lightly shampoo your hair
or apply less product to your hair.  I still do not like the fragrance
but, all in all, it is a good product.

I will keep using it till it is finished and see if my hair is thicker and whether
I am retaining length.  


You can see in this photo how moisturized my hair is and you can 
see the definition of my curls.


Go to your local Supermarket, Beauty Supply store, Walmart, or order this
product online.  It is a great product!

What I Am Using Right Now For My Eczema.

What I Am Using Right Now For My Eczema.

Last month, I showed you all a picture of my flare up and the picture is below.

My breakouts were really bad and I tried everything that I could get
my hands on.  It was dark and crusty and embarrassing. I have had
Eczema my whole life and it is really difficult to treat this disorder.

My Dermatologist showed me how to bathe and not destroy my skin
because soap and water are our enemies. My Dermatologist told me to use less soap or no soap but I have to bathe, I refused to sponge bath.

Eczema is a lifelong disorder and it can be scarring.

My doctor gave me this cream Triamcinolone Acetonide
Ointment 0.5% and it is helping a little. My rash is much
lighter and it is slowly but surely going away. 

 My doctor told me to use this cream for two weeks off and then 
use it again in two weeks.

You will see the progress made in the next photo.

It is by no means, fully cured but you can see it is working 
and I will have to be patient until it is fully cleared.

* If you have this disorder make sure you use your medicine the way
your doctor asked you to so you can get better results.

Daily Goodie Box Review

Disclosure:  I received one or more items for free to write this review.  The words and opinions are mine and may differ from yours.




Hello, everyone, I received my first Daily Goodie Box and I was so excited because as you all know I am a product junkie.  I just love getting great products to review and learning about products that I have never heard about.

This Goodie Box is indeed filled to the brim with wonderful products.


                                Yes, this box is more than just Free Samples!

                                 This box is packed so neatly.


                                  Oh, yes, time to get to the good stuff!



There are all the wonderful things that came in the Daily Goodie Box.

This Ginger Tea is so delicious.  I felt like I was coming down with
a cold or something yesterday and today I tried this Tea and it really 
soothe my sore throat.

It was very easy to prepare this tea, all I had to do was add
hot or cold water.  Didn't even have to add sugar because the Honey was just right.

This Tea is perfect to have any time and it has a slightly spicy taste.


If you would like to purchase the
Prince Of Peace- Lemon Honey Ginger Crystals you
can get it here


These cookies are fantastic.  It is a perfect blend of a cookie, toffee
wafer and the chocolate are very smooth tasting without being too sweet.
The toffee has a rich buttery taste. Makes the perfect snack.

If you would like to purchase Deserts On Us_
Milk Chocolate Macadamia Cookies, you 
can get it right here.


Black Forest Organic Sour Heads are definitely sour and sweet
and I love the great fruit taste of these sour heads. 
You and your kids will love these.

They are chewy good!

If you think you would like to purchase the Black Organic- Sour Heads, 
you can find it right here

If you are drinking alcohol,  this product is to be taken
before you start and it soothes your stomach. The taste of the strawberry lemonade is tangy and good and only has thirty calories and that is a plus.

The packet is small enough to fit in your handbag or pocket and it
is so easy to prepare.  If you would like to purchase it
You can find Vive- Hangover Prevention


Fix- Signature Sriracha Hot Sauce is good, I tried
it on my chicken wings and it had a spicy, nutty taste if that
makes sense. 


It was very hot but it made my wings taste so much better and it 
had my wings tasting like restaurant food and it is
full of flavor.

It comes in convenient packets.

You can get Fix- Signature Sriracha Hot Sauce 


I drank some Liquid Ice- Energy Drinks yesterday
and I had plenty of energy throughout the day and it didn't 
make me crash.

It has a good crisp taste and the can was a perfect size.
The colors of the can are so attractive and this drink
had me wanting more.

What an amazing product!

If you would like to purchase this fantastic Energy Drink, go to
Liquid Ice-Energy Drinks here.


I was surprised to get Mirabella - Black
Magic Marker Eyeliner in my Daily
Goodie Box because I was searching for
an eyeliner that would go on easy.

I tried to do a cat eye with some of the other brands
and I would be stuck with Raccoon's eyes.

This eyeliner gave me the look that I was looking for.
The color of this eyeliner is perfect to use for a smokey eye
as well.  

If you have been searching for the perfect eyeliner, this is it and you can
purchase your own Mirabella- Black
Magic Marker Eyeliner




Sometimes I have trouble sleeping and I decided to try Napz out
to see if it really works. I took it around 8:30 Pm and I fell to sleep around 9:25 pm. 
I have to say, I had a very restful night.

This product isn't full of a lot of artificial ingredients and it came in a nice sized bottle. 

You get sixty veggie capsules. Will definitely be getting
this again, to prepare for the times I cannot sleep.

Maybe you are not getting enough rest, I would suggest
that you check this product out to see
if it would help you sleep.

Napz- All-Natural Sleep Solution


I received Pure Cosmetics- Pure Illumination
Light Up Lip Gloss.
This Lip Gloss is very lightweight and it 
moisturizes without shining like a mirror.

The color is Pure Pink B69 and it looks like a pink mauve color.
When I applied it to my lips, it went on evenly
and it has a slight smell to it.  The color
is very sheer.

This Lip Gloss has a button to turn on the light and
I think that is a plus. It feels like a 
high-quality product to me.

To buy your own Pure Cosmetics- Pure Illumination Light Up




Thank You, Daily Goodie Box For
Sending Me These Wonderful Products!

Are You A Team Player Or Are You All For Yourself?

Are You A Team Player Or Are You All For Yourself?


I have been on social media for about five years now and I have seen it all.  Friendships created online some who are genuine and some who are full of BS.

We work very hard in this field to build ourselves and our business to a certain standard because there will always be new rules and methods to contend with.

 Most of the time we are working hard and there isn't no financial reward in sight but we still share and work our craft to the best of our knowledge. A big part of social media is sharing and promoting and it is time-consuming.

What I am seeing so much of that I am totally angry about is a number of people looking for you to be their provider and savior and what I mean is people who are looking for you to give them all the answers or promote them but they are totally waiting around not trying to do anything for themselves bottom-feeding off you and your skills.

I don't mind helping anyone but I actually have helped people but when they got on their feet and they were in the position to help me, they couldn't be found at all.

They leeched their way into my life to see what I was doing and get me to help them but now they act like I am dead.

 On the other hand, I have some really good friends and associates where we exchange ideas and I appreciate the positivity and loyalty these people have shown me.

Finally, I found my happy place in a FaceBook group for bloggers and have found that the ladies involved are so genuine and willing to help.

When someone befriends you online make sure that you check out their website or blog and see who this person is and what their mode of Operandi is because I have seen some real criminals at work online and people running a con-game are in abundance.

I am going to show you some examples below.

  • People are interested in your services or expertise and they message you to get you to give them the service for free.
  • If you become friends with someone online and they try to make you feel guilty for not giving them gifts or money.
  • Sometimes they try to get you to promote their site or products and say that they will give you money if the product sells and it sells and they give you nothing.
  • These people research you online to see how much money you make and how much you are worth and they come out of the blue to make friends and then they give you a hard-luck story.
  • Get you to order something from their website so they can steal your credit card information.
  • Ask you to set up Gofundme in your name and give them the money.
  • Use their children to use you for a bank ( calling you their online godmother) silly but true.
  • Borrow money from you saying that they are about to be homeless and they are living better than you are and never pay you back and disappear.
  • They are using a lot of aliases online is definitely a no-no.
  • You see online where they have committed fraud.


There are many other examples, but please be careful and follow your intuition regarding this.

My Blogging Future.

My blogging future.

Forward, Many, Opportunity, Show, Time

I have been blogging for some time now and it is more rewarding than I thought it would be. Constantly I am meeting some fantastic people from this platform.

I was thinking about the future of my blogging and the steps to take to make it grow bigger and better. I have been doing product reviews for years on my YouTube page: right here. (shameless plug) and I have added some of them here on my blog.

My future blogging will include a lot more product reviews and I will be seeking out more blogging opportunities in the near future.

My blog is an extension of myself and I love having an opportunity to express myself and would love to do some guest posting.

I don't know whether you all are into long blog post's but I enjoy doing them and want to touch on some more intense subjects.

Also, I would like to go to some blogging conferences to learn more about this field and learn more about marketing my blog.

Next year, I would like to be blogging full-time and make a full-time income from it and definitely will be finding ways to make this happen.

What did I find out about blogging?  It is a lot of hard work and you have to be consistent to make it work to your satisfaction, it definitely isn't a "get rich quick scheme" because it takes a considerable amount of time before people even notice your blog.

Want more interaction on my blog and in the near future, get my own domain because you are in charge of your content when you have your own domain.

The near future will include more affiliate opportunities because those of us who blog need money to grow our blog because advertising is a necessity.

Hope you all have been enjoying my blog and if you do, please let me know in the comment section.

Aquafor Really Does Soothe Dry Skin (Eczema)

Aquafor Really Does Soothe Dry Skin (Eczema)

                                       This post contains an affiliate link which means that I will receive a small                                             commission if a purchase is made.  

I did a post regarding my Eczema and Psoriasis and the medications for these disorders only work for a short time so I started using Aquafor and found that it really does give me some relief from my dry skin.

It is not a cure but it is a product that I can use in addition to my medications or use this in the daytime and use my meds at night.  Talk to your dermatologist to see if he or she thinks it is a good product for you to try as well.

This product can be expensive at times so please look in your local newspaper to see if there are coupons available.
