Currently Obsessed: Aunt Jackie's Curls & Coils Don't Shrink Flaxseed Elongating Curling Gel

When it comes to hair, I think that everyone should have the opportunity to have fun.

Wear protective styles! Play with your texture!

Overall DO you!

Since I've been doing me for the past two months, I decided to try out more natural styles.
A Canada based beauty store named Aonebeauty.com allowed me to try out some brands that they sell. I have a beauty supply store near me but it's so popular that everything is always sold out!

Shopping online gives me..
A) More selection.
B) The opportunity to try lot of the products that my fave USA bloggers are talking about :)
C) Deals and allows me to save money!!!

Let me point out that I'm not being paid to promote anything. 

I'm just a bride-to-be/new home owner who now pays bills and can't depend on mommy and daddy anymore.. LOL!

Moving on.... I have a very TIGHT and defined curl pattern. Shrinkage is NOT my friend. I've always heard really good things about elongating curling gels. I decided to give Aunt Jackie's Curls & Coils Don't Shrink Flaxseed Elongating Curling Gel ($8.99 CAN) a try. 

Now I'm currently obsessed!!!

Main ingredients:

• Moisturizing conditioners
• Flaxseed
• Shea Butter 
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Omega-3 fatty acids

I didn't know that flaxseed is a natural remedy for scalp health! 

It's anti-thinning and promotes hair growth.

It's best to use it on clean hair. Like fresh out the shower hair! 

When it's slightly damp, I take a nice quarter sized amount in my hands and apply it from root to ends. I tried it on hair with product and it didn't go so well when I wanted curls but worked well with twist outs. Just something to think about.

Have you tried a curl elongating curling gel before?

Currently Obsessed: VICHY Ideal Body Serum - Milk

Sooo the groundhog was right. WINTER is still here!
By now I thought I would at least be able to rock my maxi dress but no.. I'm here pulling out my parka and boots. Hydration is key right now. 

My new BFF is VICHY Ideal Body Serum - Milk ($24.00 CAN).

What is Serum-Milk?

Serum-milk: Emulsion gel enriched with mother-of-pearl particles to enhance the skin. As a milk, it delivers hydration and comfort, as a serum, it has a very fresh, fluid and melt-in texture that is instantly absorbed. It is possible to dress immediately.

There are two key active ingredients usually used in face care in this product:

Hyaluronic Acid and LHA 

 

In combination, these result in radiant, smooth, hydrated and firmer skin. Since I have sensitive skin it's good to know that it's suitable for all skin types and infused with Vichy Thermal Spa Water. Plus paraben-free and hypoallergenic!

By combining 10 fundamental oils:

1. Apricot kernel,
2. Passionflower
3. Corn
4. Rice Bran
5. Sunflower
6. Blackcurrant Pips
7. Rosehip
8. Coriander
9. Macadamia
10. Jojoba

Best way to maximize the benefits:

Apply it to your skin when it's still slightly damp.

It will boost your hydration!

Curls or no Curls?

As you all know the big day is drawing near.

The number one question I get asked is "Are you nervous?"

My answer is "No...."

I know exactly what I'm doing and I wouldn't do it if it wasn't for me.

I have my dress..

But now I need to pick a final hairstyle.

Here are my three choices.
Curls or no Curls?

Of course, all Kim Kardashian looks.

Which is your favourite?

To make this style work for me.. I need A LOT of volume and length.

I'm happy to say that Bella Dream Hair is going to help me achieve that!

I had the opportunity to choose from four types of hair.

-Brazilian Straight

-Brazilian Wavy

- Brazilian Curly
-Brazilian Natural Wave

Brazilian Natural Wave is the best hair to get the look I want!
It can also be straightened.

I had the opportunity to choose lengths from 8" to 36".
YES 36" *screams*

I'm thinking about making them into clip-ins so I can change my hairstyle for the honeymoon.
Not sure yet...

I'll be sure to post the final look.
