5 Ways My Black Won’t Crack!

September 22, 2018 by Alisha 7 Comments

Unless you’ve been living under a rock there’s an old saying of “Black Don’t Crack”.  While this may be true in most cases, if you don’t take care of your mind, body and soul you’ll end up looking a hot ratchet mess!  I for one am not about that life and would like to keep looking “29” LOL  It wasn’t until I reached my 40s before I finally found a perfect combination of things to help me look and feel younger!  Now my knees on the other hand haven’t caught on to that but hopefully they’ll catch on soon!

I’ve also learned that the price of a product doesn’t necessarily mean its going to work the best.  Many of the items I use are over the counter and I splurge on a few products that I know will do what they promise and more.

1 | Maintain a Good Skin Care Regimen

I like to keep my skin care regimen very simple.  My dad is knocking on 80 and I swear that man doesn’t have ONE SINGLE WRINKLE!  And my mom also keeps her regimen simple and has been using Ponds Cold Cream since I was a teenager.  My skin however is very oily and it took what seems like years before I finally figured out a good combination.  I use Bioré® Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser with my face brush, follow that with a hyaluronic acid serum with vitamin C and Garnier Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel Cream.  I’ve been dealing with my face looking like I smeared chicken grease on it toward the middle of the day and JUST learned about gel moisturizers.  And once a week I’ll use my charcoal face mask from KJ Naturals.  I’m also wanting to incorporate treating myself to monthly facials.  😉

Natural Ear Care in 3 Easy Steps

March 24, 2018 by Alisha Leave a Comment

I don’t know about you but this past Winter did a number on everyone in this house.  Being stuck indoors during the colder months can stress you out mentally and physically!   Breathing in the same dry, circulated air along with cooties is not good for anyone.  But as we move into Spring then we’re all full of pollen and sneeze all day long.  That leaves you congested and full of mucus!  This year I’ve decided to be more proactive in our health and try to ward off stuff before rather than wait until we’re all sick.

Wally’s Natural sent over a few things to help us take better care of our ear health.  Did you know that your ear health is one of the most neglected senses?  Their products were created with the mission to help people unwind.  The line of natural products aims to help people relax with a loved one and take time for themselves.   We are all about self care in this house and I want to make sure that my girls realize the importance of never putting yourself last.


The three products we got were Kids Ear Scrub, Ear Candles and Organic Ear Oil.  Designed with children in mind, the ear scrub is a fun and safe way for kids to clean their ears.  Morgan LOVED using this product.  It comes with this cool sponge that looks like a beauty blender and all you do is get it wet, place a few drops on the sponge and clean those little ears!  I swear ALL of the dirt, dust and debri goes to live in that kid’s ears.  She uses it in the shower and its one less thing that I have to worry about doing…woohoo!

The Organic Ear Oil is a unique blend of essential oils that help to moisturize, soothe and comfort agitated ears.  I used this a few times and it felt so weird because of the tea tree oil but after that “cooling” sensation wore off I was good to go.  [Read more…]
