New news


Guess who received all the stuff above for free today? ME! Yup, if there is one thing I love about my job, it's the amount of free goods we get. Even if I don't always get to use it.

I'm not sure how any of it is gonna work out just yet. I know we've received a LOT of good reviews about the Rusk shampoo and conditioner. The rest I will put to the test in the next couple of weeks.











As for right now, maybe writing this post wasn't the greatest idea ever. There are two thing that are BEGGING for more attention. Can you guess what they are?

Not feeling it.

The dry ends that is! I broke down and made an appointment with one of the stylists here in town. There goes a couple months of hair growth. But with it, so goes (most of) my split ends.
As we all know, my obsession has turned into growing my hair out. I've heard, read and watched almost EVERY tip on growing it out. But, recently I began following http://checkinthemirror.blogspot.com, and I stumbled across another tip: Hair fertilizer. Why didn't I try it before? Well, I don't know. I guess I expected it to happen with a combination of Nioxin supplements, and my hair care routine.
I'm honestly surprised at my own ability to refrain from coloring my hair. NEVER in the past five, maybe six, years has my hair been free from ammonia for so long. What else am I doing? Here's what's inside my shower...





Yes, those ARE big bottles of shampoo and conditioner. The Resurrection I bought the Moroccanoil was won a few months ago as part of a contest at work. Hence the "Not for Resale" statement at the bottom. Don't know that I'd have the nerve, or money, to pay for it.




The Revitaluxe treatment I put in towards the end of my daily shower and rinse out a few minutes later. I call it the "K-Pak on steroids" people laugh at it, and me, all the time, but they buy it. Some have even returned for it. It honestly takes the reconstructive elements from the Deep-Penetrating Reconstructor, plus the hydration from the Hydrating Treatment and the Protection from the Serum all at once. They say in order for it to work properly, it must be applied DAILY for seven days straight. It works from the inside out but you can feel the silkiness instantly.












Anyways, as a way of tracking my progress, I decided to take pictures from time to time. I'm usually behind the camera, so excuse the weird angles and expressions.
