Speaking of hair loss - Vitamin B12 is a hair savior

Number One Nutrition Vitamin B12 5000 mcg, 60 count



 Premature Hair Loss:

People who lack Vitamin B 12 in their bodies often suffer from premature hair loss. If you consume a diet that is inadequate in Vitamin B 12, you experience hair loss, or slow hair growth rate. This is because the body cannot process Vitamin B 12 on its own and cannot utilize the food you eat without vitamin B 12. This results to undernourished hair follicle cells which slows the hair growth rate.

 Healthy Hair:

Vitamin B 12 is important for healthy nervous system and the formation of red blood cells and a compromise in either of these can affect our hair.

 Hair Growth:

Vitamin B 12 also stimulates hair growth. Once the level of Vitamin B 12 is corrected, hair follicles start receiving proper nutrients and will be able to replicate correctly which leads to the regrowth of previously lost hair.

Pigmentation:

Melanin is a form of amino acids known as tyrosine, which helps to support healthy brain functions and is responsible for the pigmentation and colour of hair and skin. Vitamin B12 helps to encourage the re-pigmentation of the hair and also maintains the original  color of the hair.

Rosehip Oil Is My Current Go Skin Oil

I have been using this the last few weeks as a go to dry oil, it's good for everything from your face to your body to your hair to scars.

It comes with a dropper so you can either get a few drops at a time for face or hair use or pour some into your palm for larger application areas like your body. The HUGE 4 oz bottle is also dark so it maintains it's efficacy; however to keep it at it's most effective, I recommend storing either in the refrigerator or a cool dark place- i:e- not your bathroom.

I am a huge fan, as I've stated multiple times, of natural and organic products as well as multitasking products. Putting this on my legs after shaving made them feel INSANELY soft and smooth, and using this at night under my moisturizer left my skin glowing.

I applied a few drops of this to the ends of my hair and it tamed my split ends. I'm looking at my hair right now, and I honestly can't even see them. (Wow, do I need a haircut!)

My fave use so far has got to be how it's making the scars on my foot feel. I had some really major surgery on my foot a few months ago that left positively enormous scars that hurt like heck as the skin fights to stretch and heal. The itching gets so intense that it wakes me up sometimes, but I can put this oil on it and it absorbs immediately and brings up to 12 hours of relief. Ahhhhhhhhh.......And the price? You have to be kidding. This is ridonk cheap!

Sample Society Product Reviews - Murad, Alterna, Jane Iredale, Oscar De La Renta, Caudalie




Doesn't this just LOOK luxurious! This might be my favorite box that I ever got from them. Each one is a spa day in a box. Click here to sign up! 





Something that they're doing now is letting you purchase past boxes, which I think is awesome! 


Murad Clarifying Cleanser - 6.75 FL. OZ.

Well, pretty much what they said! It's a very concentrated gel and after using it, my skin actually felt like it was absorbing my serum and moisturizer better. After use, your pores are tighter and you can see a difference in the amount of blackheads that you get after just one use. I wouldn't recommend this for dry skin, but if you're acne prone, check this one out. Murad is serious skincare, I have yet to use a Murad product that wasn't amazeballs.
Murad Clarifying Cleanser - 6.75 FL. OZ. Murad Clarifying Cleanser - 6.75 FL. OZ.
This powerful gel cleanser combats acne and skin breakouts. The rich lather strips away pore-clogging grime, oil and irritants as it helps treat and prevent acne breakouts with time-released medication that remains active for hours, even after rinsing.



Alterna Bamboo Style Boho Waves

Alterna is another company that has yet to do me wrong. I LOVE this spray, I bought a full sized bottle after I used up my sample bottle (which says a lot considering I probably got 3 different bottles in different beauty samplers). Another product that does exactly what it says. Full, loose, sexy waves that give you a controlled tousled look. Since my hair is super fine, I really like the texture that it adds.

Live In Love by Oscar de la Renta for Women Eau de Parfum Spray 3.4 oz

AND another product that I had to buy the full size of. It's a green floral, so not so sweet and cloying as many florals are. It starts out with a strong lily-of-the-valley floral blast, but it unfolds really quickly into a lovely soft green scent. It will last forevah on your clothing but not be overpowering on your skin. When I wear this, my mister likes to nuzzle me which to me is a top endorsement since I normally have to harangue him for his opinion on perfumes. (and the man even used to work the men's fragrance department at Dillards for pete's sake!)
