Memoirs of My Journey to Make-Up Perfection

Hi Dolls!!

I am back with a blog post to review Moroccan Oil.

I'm sure you have probably heard about Moroccan oil and all the benefits of this product. So I'll just chime in my 3 cents and call it a day lol.

I bought the shampoo, conditioner and hair mask and I have to say, my hair loves it!!!

It goes without saying that if you are going to use a particular brand of hair products that the only way you can gage a true review of the product is by using the products from that line and not intermingling it with another brand. One of the biggest mistakes a lot of reviewers make is they don't stick to al the products in the line and think they can mix and match products targeting them to individual uses such as, one product for a hair mask, another as a moisturizing shampoo and another as a really great leave in. Problem with that is these different products from each line are not formulated to work in unison with each other. So it may work in the short term but in the long term the benefits you once saw can turn into hair breakage, dryness or worse baldness. It benefits you to stick to one brand and give it a fair chance. Use it for at least a month (2 if after 1 month it was ok) and then decide if you want to chuck it or keep it. K, I'm off my soap box now LOL

Back to the product review

Moroccan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner

The Shampoo is gentle on my hair and doesn't strip it of moisture. When I rinse it out my hair feels soft.

The conditioner leaves my hair soft and conditioned. I like to leave the conditioner on for a moment while I'm in the shower so it can have a moment to penetrate deep down before I rinse it out.

Moroccan Oil Intense Hydrating Mask

I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!! Can I say more? I slip it through my hair, cover it with a shower cap and leave it on for about 15 to 30 mins or I go under the dryer for 15 mins and let it penetrate. Either way, this stuff is the BOMB!!! O-M-G! lol I've run out and already I am panicking. I cant wait to get my hands on more.

Um, hello!! This stuff right here is worth its weight in gold. I dab a small amount the size of a dime into my palms, rub them together and run it through my hair. My hair dries quicker and blow dries straighter. It's so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My hair is left bouncy, soft and smelling oh so good and if you are a subscriber to my blog, The Power of Femininity then stay tuned for an upcoming post on scent and how it's a powerful weapon in your arsenal of Femininity. Add this oil as a staple to your hair regimen.

So there you have it. I haven't used anything else in my hair in months. I love this stuff! Have you tried it? Post a comment and tell me what you think about it!

Hi Dolls!!



I'm back with a great review. Sorry for it being so long but I wanted to make sure I gave this product enough time to give it a fair review.



Ardys Am PM Pills





I tried these pills after meeting with a friend whose an Ardyss representative. She taved about them and how she lost 5 lbs without taking them consistently. A lady with her tookthem faithfully and lost a significant amount of weight so I decided to buy it.




You take 1-2 AM pills per day and 1-2 PM pills 30 minutes before a meal. I took them for 2 months and watched myself lose 7 lbs and finaly break my plateau. I'm tall (5'8.5) so my weight is distributed evenly along my length. At times I felt discouraged because I wanted it to target my thighs and hips but it didnt do that. It took those 7lbs off my entire frame and the result was a thin, scuplted physique. I didnt start noticing it til my pants were so loose that I was in danger of indecent exposure if I didnt leave the house wearing a belt. My tops fit looser,my arms were smaller and my face looked thinner.

Now to get a accurate picture of what I look like, like I said I am tall, and slim with a black girls ass and hips. No one would call me fat by any stretch of the means but like I mentioned I have the typical wider hips and a booty of any average black girl. Now I didnt want to loose the booty (I'll talk about how I kept it in a few mins) I just wanted to minimize my thighs and flatten my tummy out a little bit.

I aso want to mention that I exercised. I did 30 mins of cardio minimum and 30 mins of target specfic exercise. These pills are designed to ramp up your metabolism and help regulate your digestive system.


Exercises


Booty exercises that work.

Before I do my excercises I do the following:


i stand with my legs crossed amost as if I was skipping double dutch and about to do the cross splits (hopefully that helps you understand what I mean). Anyway, while in this stance and squat down 5 times. ONLY DO 5! You will pay the next morning if you do more. Anyway, I then uncross my legs and whatever leg was in front I switch legs and repeat the squat on that leg for a count of 5. Thats it.

Next I start my regimen


Leg lifts- stand with your legs shoulder width apart. Stand on one leg and raise your other leg behind you for a count of 10 on each side. Do 3 sets.

Squats - I like to squat down and crab walk 10 steps to the right and 10 to the left for a total of 30 on each side.

I dont know what this is called but I've seen it done on Bridal Bootcamp and the Last 10 pounds with Tommy.

I stand in the middle of my target running area, then run to the left 5 paces then touch the ground. raise up and do it again to the left. I hope I'm explaining it properly. I do that till I total 30 on each side.

I cycle through all 3 above and repeat the cycle till I've done 3 sets.

Hopefully this helps you understand. I did these sets a minimum of 3 days a week. I saw resuts almost instantaneously. Which takes 30 minutes total.


Hope this review helps! Now, I'm working on my next product review. If my exercise regimen confuses you please leave a comment and I will walk you through what I did.
