DO NOT NEGLECT YOUR HAIR (Hair Story)

Image
After spending a couple of hours at the park last Saturday, I met a lady who was advertising her hair care services on my way home. Normally I don't go out on Saturdays, but the weather was so nice that I had decided to take a walk. I had my hair in two ponytails (one on top and the other at the bottom). I didn't either moisturize and seal my hair all week or do any scalp massages, but my hair still looked decent (at least it did to me). Nonetheless, it must have been looking dry for as the lady and I were making small talk, she stated that she could deep condition my hair for me... to which I quickly reply: "I deep condition my hair at home." I was waiting for the green light when she struck up the conversation so when the light turned green, I greeted her politely then crossed the street to go home. I know the lady meant well and was only advertising her hair care services, but her words confirmed what I didn't want to face: that the hair care routine that I h...

MY EXPERIENCE: SMASHBOX PHOTO FINISH FOUNDATION PRIMER - OIL FREE

Image
As I have (almost) mastered my hair care routine, I have started a whole new journey: my skin care journey. I’ve been wanting to improve my makeup application, among other things. Since primer was non-existent in my makeup routine, and after watching a lot of Youtube videos, I decided I should probably get one. Coincidentally, the Smashbox primer has been buzzing online and its free sample became available on canadiancoupons.net site. I jumped on the opportunity and requested one. It took about 2 -3 weeks to arrive, but I didn’t mind. I’ve never used a primer before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was taken aback by the way it feels on my skin the first time I used it because I thought it was going to absorb into my skin. I’ve since learned that the primary purpose of a primer is not to moisturize your skin.
