What Lives In My Shower

4:42 PM

Hi everyone! Today I'm showing you the hair products I use on a regular basis. I don't normally talk about hair products on my blog, so this is a little different, but I wanted to share!


I have been using Dove shampoos for yeeeeeears. I find that they're great for daily cleansing because they aren't harsh or stripping, and don't dry out my ends. They also smell really really nice. Normally I get the blue one but I have this pomegranate scented one which smells heavenly.
I talked about the Clear products in my drugstore hair recommendations post a couple months ago, and for good reason. I'm using the conditioner right now, which is really great at nourishing hair and coaxing shine back. I use this all over, but concentrate on the ends.
The next two products I'm going to talk about together, because even though they aren't the same they're equally effective. They're from Bath & Body Works, and to be honest I mainly got them because they smell great. And smell great they do. Here I have the Volumizing shampoo and Moisturizing conditioner of the Warm Brown Sugar scent. Not to say that they're bad or ineffective, but just not as good as my other ones. These smell incredible, but don't do wonders. I only use them about once a week.
Lastly, there's the Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Morrocon Oil Treatment. This stuff is amazing! It smells like a freaking rainbow, if that's what a rainbow smelled like. It's really good for adding extra shine and strength to your hair, and when mixed with the Warm Brown Sugar fragrance is amazing.

Thanks for reading! What hair products do you use?

Drugstore Recommendations | Hair

11:59 AM

Hi, all! Happy December. For all you Americans, I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend. Today I'm going to be showing you some of my favorite hair products from the drugstore. I'm not a big hair person (I haven't used any heat on my hair for over a year now - woot woot), so there won't be a lot of products, but I've still got a few for you, enough for a basic hair routine.


Shampoo - Dove Daily Moisture Shampoo
I've been using this stuff for years and years. It's great, very affordable and effective. It's not stripping or drying on the hair and the scent is really nice and fresh.

Conditioner - Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy Total Care Conditioner
This should really be a lot more expensive than it is. It's a great daily conditioner. It works to hydrate your hair without weighing it down

Leave-In Treatment - Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Moroccon Sleek Oil Treatment
This is a really nice oil. It's lightweight, and smells great. It's also a mulitasking product, acting as a leave in, detangler, serum, and eliminates frizz in one go. Highly recommend!

Detangler - Not Your Mother's Knotty To Nice Conditioning Detangler
This shit. Is great. It really works to smooth out knots and detangler my mane. The name is also quirky and cute, huh?

Dry Shampoo - Batiste Dry Shampoo
This is something that EVERYBODY raves about. I quite like it, it smells nice and doesn't leave my hair with a gray cast. The stuff itself is also really good at absorbing oil and making your hair look a lot cleaner than it is.

Hairspray - L'Oreal Elnett Satin
This hairspray is legendary. It is a lighthold spray, but does hold your style with a lot of movement and zero crunchiness. The packaging is also really luxurious and nice.

Heat Protectant - TREsemme Heat Tamer Spray
This product has also been used by everybody and their mother. It's great - it works to protect your hair (obviously), minimizing the damage a hot tool can do. It also smells like green apples and is super affordable.

Thanks for reading! Have you ever tried any of these?

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Moroccan Sleek Oil Treatment Review

3:52 PM

Aloha! Today's post is a review on the Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Moroccan Sleek Oil Treatment.


This oil was about $6 at Target. Garnier products can be purchased online and in drugstores. This product contains 3.75 fl oz of oil and was made in the United States. Unfortunately, Garnier does test on animals.


Basically, what this is is a leave-in conditioner. You can also add it to your conditioner for extra hydration and use it on dry hair to tame frizz and flyaways.

Claim from the website:
    Our Innovative leave-in treatment with precious Argan Oil from Morocco.

    - Absorbs in an instant
    - Restores smoothness
    - Mends roughness
    - Intensifies shine
    - Deep, sleek conditioning

    How to use
    Apply a small amount to wet, damp, or dry hair: 
    In shower 
    Boost your conditioner
    Mix a few drops into your conditioner
    After shower 
    Use as a leave in
    Work it through hair for softness & easy styling
    On dry hair 
    Use as a finisher
    After blow drying smooth it in to tame frizz & and shine



It's a thick orange oil that smells absolutely incredible. It's fruity and flowery and just plain amazing.

I like this treatment. It lives up to its claims; it does absorb instantly, makes my hair shiny and smooth, and works well as a leave in conditioner. I add it to my conditioner in the shower, and also apply it all over my damp hair. I use this on a daily basis, only putting a tiiny amount of my ends when I don't wash my hair. Beware of putting this near your scalp when it's dry, it might make it look oily. I don't use heat on my hair anymore, so I can't say much about how it is as a finished, but it seems like it would work really well. It keeps my hair static free in the winter and hydrated in the summer.

I would definitly recommend to anyone needing a leave in treatment. It's affordable and smells wonderful, check it out!
