SoCozy For Curly Hair | Mommy Review

My 2 year old has pretty thick, coarse, and curly hair. It took some time, but I have found the magic mix of things that work great for him. Recently, I was asked to try out the SoCozy Boing line. I wanted to know more because these curly-kid hair products tailor to the issues that those with curly hair deal with:

No Frizz, No Fuss. Just curls done right.

SoCozy products contain only nourishing ingredients- no harsh chemicals and yucky stuff and we were happy to give them a try.

Sidebar: My son LOVES to play with the bottles for some reason! Maybe its the playful design and bright colors on them 🙂

We’ve been using 3 products from the brand’s curly line: Boing Curl Shampoo, Moisturizing Conditioner, and Leave-In spray. All products in the Boing Line are designed to preserve the natural moisture balance in hair, as well as give extra moisture to the hair. [Read more…]

Hopefully Seeking God

Leaning on the promises of God makes us hopeful. Knowing that He keeps every promise to us gives much needed strength to keep going forward, no matter what situations come. Continually choosing to look forward brings joy!

Weeping may last through the night,
but joy comes with the morning. (Psalm 30:5)

Believers know that God is soverign and that He can always be trusted. Jesus guarantees that the wait as we endure life obstacles is much easier when we surrender to Him. Inner peace fuels us with courage and strength to go on living in a way that shows other people who Christ is.

Always remember: we have already been given the grace to endure, peacefully, when waiting to hear from God about what we have been praying for. Yes, peace is ALREADY yours! Accept it and basque in it, being sure to thank God for his goodness. [Read more…]

L’Oreal Pure Clay Masks | Review

L"Oreal Pure Clay Masks Review

Twice a week, I mask.

….And its for good reason! Facial masks provide tons of benefits for the skin. The tricky part can be finding the right facial masks for your skin type and skin concern. Once the right products are found, they really make such a difference in skin tone and texture.

When L’Oreal released this line of pure clay masks, I wanted to know more. Mainly because this line features 3 unique masks, each one driven by 3 different clays to work wonders on your complexion. Clay is great in skincare since it really draws out impurities…gets gunk out of pores!

Detox & Brighten Pure Clay Mask ( Charcoal/black )
Exfoliate & Refine Pure Clay Mask ( Red Algae/red )
Purify & Mattify Pure Clay Mask ( Eucalyptus/green)

The great thing about these masks is all of them are designed for ANY skin type to use. I chose the Detox & Brighten Clay Mask and the Exfoliate & Refine Mask to add to my collection first.

Let’s take a look: [Read more…]

He’s Loving & Faithful

God's Faithfulness to us

Having strong faith is the best way to face difficult situations in life. Muscles in our body get stronger when we use them, and our faith becomes stronger the more we use it! Each time we opt to trust God in difficult, sometimes even unbearable circumstances, we automatically increase our faith. When going through uncertain times, we can choose to believe these things by faith, no matter how it looks to the natural eye:

*God knows what’s best for us

*God is in control

*He has a perfect plan and purpose

*He takes care of everything and takes care of us

*God never changes [Read more…]

Beauty Empties #1

Empties

Does anyone else get that weird feeling of total satisfaction when you use products until there’s nothing left?! I try to finish everything I buy, even if I’m not so crazy about it, so it doesn’t end up as money down the drain. So, after a few months of stockpiling empty containers, I’m sharing my first round of beauty empties today!

Seeing what others like and dislike after things have been completely used helps when I’m in the market for new stuff to try out. These posts and videos are especially helpful because you’re able to get a mini-review of things, which makes picking new products to try much easier.

Lets’ jump in…there’s some really good things to talk about!

Beauty Empties | November 2016

Makeup:

Lancome Teinte Idole Ultra 24 hr Foundation (shade 450 Suede N) – I finished another bottle of this foundation and I can’t say enough good about it! Not only is it a spot-on match for my skin, it wears beautifully all day long, keeps me shine-free, and looks natural all at the same time on my oily skin. It doesn’t feel heavy or greasy, but gives a mostly-matte finish. The bottle is slim and comes nicely packaged with a pump. I have to have this in my stash at all times…my #1 … Ride or Die status foundation!
CoverGirl The Super Sizer Mascara (Very Black) – This mascara lengthens well and keeps lashes separated nicely. It works best with a small amount of product on the wand and to use a single swipe motion to apply 1-2 coats. I try new mascaras all the time and although I loved the way it made my lashes look, for some odd reason it makes my eyelids kind of itchy. If you don’t have very sensitive eyes, I’m certain that you’ll love this one.
MAC Getaway Bronze Blush – This is perfection as far as glowy blush shades go! I found this a few years back at the CCO (The Cosmetic Company Outlet) and I was so sad to use it all. It is natural looking on the cheeks and just gives a pretty glow to deeper skin-tones. Unfortunately, it was part of the limited edition To The Beach collection. I will be searching high and low for a replacement container of this blush. I do hear that MAC Sunbasque is a very close match to this.
