Smooth N Shine Olive and Tea Tree conditioner review

Hello Divas!!!

I am currently in the process of transitioning my hair from relaxed to natural. This means that it needs a LOT of tender loving care because it is really fragile right now.

I have been trying a few deep conditioners to see how they will work out. I need something that adds in moisture and strength so that my hair can make the transition well.

Today I tried out the Smooth N Shine Olive and Tea Tree Oil Deep Recovery Conditioner. The directions say to work it into clean, wet hair and leave on for one minute, then rinse out.

I am doing deep conditioning treatments so I am leaving it on for longer. I washed and rinsed my hair then put the conditioner on and covered the hair with a a plastic cap.

Sometimes I will apply heat to the covered hair to help the deep conditioner work or I can leave it on without heat and just go do a few things like clean the house so that my body heat can work its magic.

I did not really like the tingly feeling when I put the conditioner on but that was due to the tea tree oil. It was not unpleasant, I just don't really like the minty feeling on my head. When I first put the product on my hair it did not instantly soften the tangles.........I went ahead and finished my shower and went back to comb through and it worked a little better.

It still did not glide through as easily as the coconut oil conditioner but it was still better than some others that I have used.

After taking the plastic cap off and rinsing my hair out the wide tooth comb was able to glide through the hair  with no problems. My hair feels nice and soft and the tangles from washing came out easily. I am pleased with the results of the conditioner even though I don't like the minty feeling.

I will use this conditioner in the future because it really works!!!!

I Sweat A Lot!!!

Hello Divas!!

I have received a few comments on the popular posts about my dark armpits. I also got some direct messages on this topic as well.

Many readers asked why I don't just stop using antiperspirants (and deodorants) because they contribute to my dark underarms.

Well my title says it all.

I sweat a lot.

Not just a little bit.

A

BIG

GIANT

LOT.

I can start to sweat straight out of the shower from just walking across the bathroom and into my bedroom.

I sweat even when it is cold and I have goosebumps.

I just sweat all the time.

If I don't use antiperspirants I will sweat even more so that is just not an option for me right now.
I even sweat when using the clinical strength antiperspirant.....although it works the FIRST day.

I was given this gel thing that was supposed to help reduce the sweat but it did nothing. I attempted to not wear antiperspirant when I shower at night and then only apply when I shower in the morning.

All that happens is I wake up sweaty!

So unless someone who sweats a lot finds a way for me to stop sweating then I will continue to just have nasty black armpits.

And no I cannot afford Botox shots in my armpits!!!!

Crazy Shoes

Hello Divas!!!

So women's shoes have been getting crazier and crazier. One of the latest trends is the heel-less high heel....if there is such a thing.


I just saw these shoes and there is a a video showing someone actually walking in them. Click on this link and scroll down to the right and play the video.


These shoes are INSANE and I really do not think they can be safe for walking but if you like them then grab your pair today. Personally I think they are a fashion DON'T!
