This is a body lotion that I sampled in sally’s. I was so in love with the banana smell that I
went back and bought a bottle of it. When
I first used it, I really didn’t see any issues with it, my skin felt soft. Then after a few more uses, I found that it
really just sat on top of my skin instead of penetrating the skin. I also noticed that when I rubbed my skin, I would
get these little flakes or residue. So
will I be buying this lotion again? Absolutely
not. Although I love love love the
smell, I am really looking for something that will work and leave my skin a
little softer. The smell is great though
I’ll give them that. If you have any suggestions on a good moisturizer please let me know! Thanks for reading!
So as I write this, its difficult to share so openly personal failures but I like to not only share the good but the bad as well. A couple of years ago, I went on a natural hair journey. During that time I was the number one spokes person for natural hair. I was so excited about this new thing I had discovered for myself I wanted my friends and family to join me on this new journey. I ranted and raved about all things natural until I was blue in the face. I was over the moon, well until my hair started breaking off like crazy. When I started my journey, I thought I was well enough informed to tackle my new found hair but I was very mistaken and under educated. I was unknowingly using products with too much protein in them. I was having a protein overload and was totally unaware of it. I decided that I was going to texlax. For those of you who are unfamiliar with telaxing, see my Hair Journey lingo pagehttp://meyolig.blogspot.com/2012/04/failed-natural-hair-journey.html.
At first I liked it okay I got more length, my hair still had a lot of texture.
However, if I thought I had breakage before, this new texlaxed hair was a completely new beast. I tried everything to remedy the hair that was breaking off but nothing worked. I got bored with my hair at one point and decided to dye my hair. I guess my thinking was at the time that,everyone else does it and has no problems, I should be fine. Well NOT!!! My hair was falling out everywhere. It came out so bad I had to take two showers just to get the hair off my body. Dummy me didn’t get a rinse but a PERMANENT dye. This was the results….
Shakes my head in sadness lol
Before I dyed my hair though, I had made the decision to transition to natural hair. This set back was just going to make things a lot more difficult. I really learned my lesson and through sharing my experiences hopefully others can learn as well. I love natural hair, relaxed hair, texlaxed hair, any hair that looks beautiful. My point is that for ME I think natural hair is the best route to take. There are plenty of women who grow their relaxed tresses down their backs but I am just not that talented lol . Now as far as if I think being natural is healthier, put it like this, I think anything in it’s natural state is best BUT you have to do you and forget about the rest. That said, thanks for reading and I can’t wait to share more with you guys!
