Hello all!
So, I went to Old Navy today. And, I honestly have never been a fan of their clothes. I don't know why, but when I was younger, I refused to go in there.
Well, I love their jeans. I bought a pair from Gabriel Brother's (if you don't know what that is, it's a discount store where bigger stores send their old or slightly irregular stuff and they sell it for cheaper) and I wear them all the time! I decided I wanted to go check them out today!!
I didn't end up buying anything, but I mentally spent a TON of money. They have adorable stuff out for spring right now.
Here's a few of the items I fell in love with:
--Crew Sweater- http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=92180&vid=1&pid=522276002

Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response Review
Again, another product I was sent by Influenster for free (read the disclaimer on my post about Olay).
Let me just tell you, and I understand this is just a deodorant. But, if you have the same problem I do with sweating constantly under stress and when doing a lot of physical activity- keep reading.
I'm a bargain shopper, but I sweat a lot and it doesn't smell nice when I do! So, I have to keep reapplying deodorant throughout the day to keep dry and fresh. There is NO WAY I am going to let someone smell my armpit funk! I'd rather go out without makeup on first!!I have a big problem with smells (maybe because I have a really awesome nose and can smell things from miles away!) so keeping myself smelling awesome is something I am dedicated to.
When I received this product in my VoxBox, I was like, 'okay cool. let's try this'. And it just so happened that my first REAL day of my new job was that next morning!
I opened it up and smelled it first of all, and was blown away by how awesome it was!!! It was a nice light citrusy scent- very fresh!!!
I was stressed out about trying to do all this new work stuff on my own, so of course I was sweating like crazy all day!!! But when I was, I didn't smell any funk!!! Only the awesome scent of this product!!!
I even brought it with me to work, just in case it didn't hold up to my challenging pits!! But I didn't need to reapply at all!!!!
When I was ready for a shower that night, I could still smell the awesome scent!!!
The best part? I was dry, and no weird stains on my work uniform!!!!
Needless to say, although this is more expensive then what I normally buy, it's worth it! It's going to last me longer because I don't have to reapply 2-3 times a day, and it actually works!!!

Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing sea salt spray REVIEW
THIS STUFF IS SERIOUSLY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Again, I was sent this in my Influenster Sweetheart VoxBox for free (read the disclaimer on my last blog post, please) and I adore it.
I have really thick hair, and even though it's cut short, I still have a problem getting products to really do anything for my hair. But, Not Your Mother's is an amazing brand.
I had seen some of their products in stores before, but never thought of buying them (so again, thank you Influenster for sending me this!). I am in love.
The sea salt texturizing spray gives my hair that 'I just walked on the beach' look. When my hair is dry, it looks sassy and wind-whipped. My hair is naturally straight, so this spray gives me a nice gentle wave look. It's great for a night out if you want your hair to have an awesome, sexy wave to it!!
Oh, and can we talk about the smell? IT'S FABULOUS! And it lingers on your hair all day!!! If you like people to stop and say 'wow, you smell amazing!' this product is for you!!!
So, how do I use this stuff? Well, after I wash or wet my hair, I towel dry it as much as possible. Usually, I am left with a damp, crazy mess on my head. I spray the NYM's all over my hair, and rub it in with my hands. I let it sit for a few mins in my craziness. Then, I brush and style my hair as normal. It dries naturally into a beautiful, wavy masterpiece.
Now, my sister also uses this. However, she will blowdry her hair after applying the product. It gives your hair an even bigger wave and more volume. It works better for her, because she has longer, less thick hair-so it doesn't turn into a huge afro like mine would if I did this!!
Anyways, if you're looking for a nice-smelling, effective product to bring awesome volume and texture to your hair, NOT YOUR MOTHER'S is for you c:
Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid cleansing system REVIEW
I recieved the Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid cleansing system for free through Influenster a few weeks ago. I was so excited to try this product, so I started using it that night before bed. And let me tell you, it has made a major difference in my skin!!!
BEFORE I START, LET ME JUST ADD:: EVEN THOUGH I WAS SENT THIS FOR 100% FREE, THIS IS MY HONEST REVIEW. AND FOR THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH INFLUENSTER, THEY (or the companies involved) DO NOT PAY ME OR COMPENSATE ME FOR POSITIVE REVIEWS. THEY SEND THESE PRODUCTS IN ORDER TO GET PEOPLE TO TRY NEW THINGS, SHARE WITH THEIR FRIENDS, AND GIVE HONEST FEEDBACK ABOUT THEIR THOUGHTS.
A little back story on me. My dads side of the family ALL have major skin problems. My dad is almost 60 years old and STILL gets acne and breakouts. So, my skin has never been great. In middle in highschool, I was constantly breaking out. My mom spent hundreds on skin clearing products, and nothing worked.
When I got college age, my skin got a little better. No more awful acne breakouts, but the occasional enormous pimple, blackheads and extremely large pores!!! And being as lazy as I am about keeping up with skincare, I never kept to any regimine, so my skin was never perfect.
So anyway, I decided since this is similar to the Clarisonic system, and I've been wanting to invest in it, I would give this a good go.
I use the system everynight before bed, after removing my eye and face makeup with my makeup remover wipes.
And let me tell you- it has made a HUGE difference. I have had maybe one pimple since I started using it, and my blackheads and pores have diminished as well. I no longer have to use the Benefit pore cream every morning!!!! Which is great because although it works, it's expensive.
Anyways, I am extremelt greatful for Olay and Influenster for sending me this system. It not only has cleared my skin, it's also easy to use, leaves my skin smooth and feeling clean, and it smells amazing!!!
If you have troubled skin, or even just want to feel clean and fresh after washing your face- go buy this!!
I have seen it at Target, WalMart and on Amazon.com. It's not expensive either!!!!!
