Customized Hair Care from Formulate

*I was provided with product for review.  All opinions are my own.*

I’ve been natural this go around for over 7 years!  And during this time I’ve probably tried just about every product none to man.  Thankfully I’ve finally mastered what works good for me!  Can I get a curly girl AMEN!  Even my 16yo has mastered her holy grail list of products to maintain her curls.  Which leads us to the youngest, crazy curly girl in our household.  

Morgan has the thickest and curliest hair out of the three of us.  What makes it even crazier is that due to us all having different textures and lengths, none of the same products work the same on us.  Morgan’s biggest issues are maintaining moisture and frizz control.  Now that she’s getting older sometimes she wants to wear her hair out and all I’m envisioning is my baby walking around looking like she got into a fight with humidity and it won!

 

When Formulate contacted me about doing on a review on their customized  shampoo and conditioner I was a bit skeptical.  First I wanted to make sure that it could be used on all hair textures because I’m lucky enough to have a very diverse group of readers and 2nd I was concerned about the price. But we’ll get to that part at the end! [Read more…]

5 Ways to Not Be an Asshole Toward People Dealing With Mental Illness

by 7 Comments

If you’ve been with me for a while you know I typically discuss my love for all things related to natural hair, my crazy ass kids and wine.  Literally those are the three top things that I feel represent who I am as a person.  But for the last year and a half I’ve also focused on a lot of things outside of my blog.  That would be dealing with mental illness.

For the last year and a half I’ve been working as a Crisis Consultant for a suicide hotline.  While it is probably one of the most stressful jobs I’ve had, it is also one of the most rewarding!  The majority of my jobs since I graduated from college have dealt with mental illness in one way or another but not as intimately as this one.

I’ve been trying to figure out the best way for a while now to address some of the issues that come up when I’m talking with callers.  I like to just cut to the chase when I’m talking with people on the phone so I figured that would also translate to how I wanted to discuss this on my blog as well.  The only way I figured that would work was if I gave some tips on how to treat people that are dealing with mental illness.   [Read more…]

5 Tips to Getting Back on Track After a Fitness Break

by 10 Comments

 
A lot of people like to wait until the new year to get their ish together and work on health and fitness goals.  There’s no better time like the present so why not get your butt in gear and start now so that by this time next month you’ll be ahead of the game.
 
You know that saying about summer bodies are made in the winter…well they weren’t lying! You may be thinking its entirely too cold to even thinking about wearing a bikini or that cute dress next summer but before you know it you’ll look up and be like I spent all winter living like a sloth and now I’m paying for it.  We all know that eating right and exercising are what you are supposed to do, but sometimes you just get in a rut and then it’s “Oh I’ll get back on track tomorrow” or “I won’t eat that again”.  Well the time has come and it means no more excuses.  So if you’re like me, meaning human, then you can still get back on track!
