Burt’s Bees Super Shiny Grapefruit & Sugar Beet Shampoo & Conditioner
Sometimes the real test of a product is whether you’re happy with something once the newness wears off.
Other things you know much sooner that the product isn’t going to work for you: like the Burt’s Bees shampoo and conditioner with my naturally curly hair (and local hard water.)
With my hair wet, it was super slick and clean feeling – almost squeaky clean. But when it dried I had to put more product in it than I ever have in my life to keep it from being a giant frizz bomb. I applied mouse and two types of hairspray heavily before my hair looked normal.
Since I had straightened my hair the first time I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt and try it a second time, applying mouse while my hair was still wet and letting it curl. It still didn’t work for me … my hair looked ratty.
I will say that since using it and then switching back to my regular shampoo and conditioner my hair has been looking a bit glossier and healthier. It definitely had some clarifying capabilities. I think it would be an awesome shampoo and conditioner for someone with naturally straight hair. I however have already swapped my purchase on makeup alley…

I’m working on it. Suggestions are welcome. I have over 200 bookmarks to go through so it will take some time before it’s close to complete (though it should never be 100% complete.)

The Spin Spa is a motorized, long-handled back scrubber, massager, cleanser, and exfoliant. It is for use in the shower only as it cannot be submerged in water. It requires 3 AA batteries and it has two speeds – high and low.
It comes with several heads that can be attached to it – a microdermabrasion head, a massage/cleanser head, a cleanser head, a pumice tool, and a nylon mesh head. With it’s vibrating motion, the Spin Spa not only cleanses your body, but gives your body a blood-moving massage which helps to wake you up and get the blood going.
And, with its long handle, you can easily reach all areas of your back and do your feet and lower body without much bending over.
For only $14.95, I highly recommend this tool.
Long story short, my main computer’s motherboard kicked the bucket and I had to replace it … and subsequently the heatsink … and today the graphics card will be replaced (since it’s incompatble with the new motherboard.) So I have a lot of work (self- employed) to catch up on and won’t be able to bring you anything new and exciting this week. Sorry!
It’s a plastic form on a hanger which means it won’t take up too much space and it will hang nice and neat on the door hooks I have already. This will definately make it easier to actually show everyone what these clothes could look like on (I pondered a sewing dress form with a stand but couldn’t mentally justify the cost since I don’t have a sewing machine here right now.)
In a bit of a warped way it’s like a giant plastic barbie doll (or at least a section of one) 🙂
