Purple Hair Wax Review


How many of us love doing crazy funny things to our hair? I know I am not the only one!! When it comes to the hair I've done it all... I've bleached it, cut it super short, PERMED it when it was still cool, and now I'm currently trying to grow it out to as long as I can stand it. My obsession with dying my hair red has always been something I've done for the past 15 years. It's my go-to color of choice, and I don't plan on changing it anytime soon... unless it's to go PINK!!!

So for days that I want to experiment with something I didn't know there were other products out there that existed for testing colors and be able to wash it off later. I found this hair wax floating around the internet for quite some time now, but I had the chance of trying it out until recently. I finally got my hands on a wax that I've seen a ton of reviews for online so I wanted to take a crack at it.

I ordered mine a while back and it arrived about 3 weeks later, as the product is from China so shipping does take a bit longer. Oddly enough this isn't an Amazon purchase, although it is available on Amazon. The website offers 6 different colors including; blue, green, red, purple, gold, and silver. I went with the gold because it's the one I saw on an Instagram video.

When I received it in the mail I immediately went to my hubby and asked him if I could try it out... So I went to town on his hair, and there begins the fun.

The product itself is very creamy but ultimately does dry down. It compares to a texturizing balm for men's hair and hardens up rather quickly, so you have to work pretty quickly. One thing I noticed is that it does like to cling to each other so parts of the hair were bunched up when applied leaving lots of random gaps but you can take a comb to it and even it out. My hands were covered and it worried me. But rest assured, it washed off with just water almost instantly, I was impressed!

I did a whole video of my demonstrating on my hair. I need to work with it more and post an update because it wasn't my favorite outcome. I want it to work a lot more than it did. SO I'm giving it a second chance soon.

Weight Loss Journey progression

Honestly, when I finally decided to take the plunge and try out some fitness and wellness products I never would have thought that I would be easily persuaded by pills. If you've known me by now, you know that I really don't like taking pills/supplements much and I have been pushing myself to get into a new routine by adding supplements and vitamins into my daily life. Now in regards to weight loss supplements, it's been harder to find some that are natural and safe without any harmful side effects or hidden chemicals.

I was recommended to the FitPal Thermogenic Ultra Fat Burner - Energy and Metabolism Booster. With all natural ingredients like Green Coffee, Garcinia Cambogia, and Raspberry Compote (which is my favorite because it tastes good). All in one easy to take capsule!


I can't describe the feeling these give me as well the energy I do get from just taking one before my breakfast in the morning. I've noticed some significant difference in my daily routine. If I happen to skip a day, I do feel slight changes, but not to a point that these cause me to feel the need to take more. It's a great way to suppress hunger, boost metabolism, and is also an herbal detox.

By far one of my favorite ways to help me in the morning added to a healthy diet and regular exercise I can't wait to see long-term results.

Can't have movie night without Popcorn!!

How do you like watching movies at home? Nice warm blanket, tall glass of wine perhaps. But I'm pretty sure there's something that no matter where you are you always have it present in either the basic flavor or played up with more goodness to experience a higher level of movie enjoyment. What's that you may ask... Popcorn!!!

Of course! You can never experience a proper movie night until you have the popcorn making it's sweet popping music then fresh from the microwave and ready to eat. I've always been a huge fan of the prepackaged popcorn and flavors from the grocery stores as a kid, and I continue to make my childhood favorites at home for my kids. But one thing I have noticed in my adulthood is that with every brand comes with its little hidden secret ingredients that you either know what they are or are unfamiliar with them entirely. So I discovered that many of the companies that produce those types of popcorn to make at home are loaded with extra preservatives that cause much more damages in the long run after consumption.

I went on the hunt for a solution... and I found something that was not only super functional but easy to store and easier to clean. Meet Thomas Rush Popcorn Maker, my new favorite kitchen invention that even my kids love using and testing themselves. So far we've enjoyed just about popcorn every weekend and the bottle of popcorn still has many more servings to be made!! This makes this frugal mama a very happy camper.

This microwavable bowl is made entirely out of 100% platinum silicone, BPA free has a collapsible design for easy storage and resistant to extreme temperatures up to -40 degrees Celcius +240 degrees Celcius, which means that it can be used in Microwaves and dishwasher safe.

Now you're probably wondering what about the flavors. That in itself is a whole other story and would take longer to explain in greater detail. But I can tell you my absolute favorite flavor and how to make a simpler version than what the traditional way is made.

Seen in the photo you can see that it's a pretty decent size bowl, and honestly, it only takes a small amount kernels to fill this to the top once they pop. Rule of thumb, a little goes a long way.

My favorite popcorn has to be by far the kettle corn, salty and sweet in one amazingly addicting crunchy snack! But who has time to whip out the ol' copper kettle and create the traditional kettle corn, not me that's for sure? So I love using Kernel Season's Kettle Corn Popcorn Seasoning, as well as other addicting flavors.



I love the Orville Redenbacher's 100% White corn, and Popping & Topping Buttery Flavored Oil. Following the directions on the packaging can't be any easier than just reading the instructions carefully. It's seriously so easy my 5 year old can do it! My boys loved adding all the seasonings to their batch of popcorn, that literally takes no time at all to make. My husband loved the Parmesan Garlic, my oldest loved the Bacon Cheddar, and my little one loved the Cheesy Caramel! We all found our flavors and the popcorn was ready so fast it can't compete with movie theater popcorn with all those amazing tastes. 

Ingredients:
  • 1/4 C of Kernels
  • 2-3 tbs oil 
  • 1-2 tsp salt, to taste

In the bowl add your kernels, oil, and salt, place the lid loosely on top, do not cover completely as it needs room to grow. Place in microwave for 3-4 minutes (based on 800w microwave). Once your popcorn slows popping down to 2 seconds apart you can stop the time and take popcorn out carefully using the handles. Add as much seasoning as you'd like, and enjoy your favorite form of entertainment!!!

Aromatherapy you can wear!

Aromatherapy is by far one of the greatest creations for natural health benefits. From soothing eucalyptus to calming lavender. There are over a thousand types of essential oils for all sorts of needs and ailments. But when it comes to oils I have no clue what type of oils are what, why lie about it! My favorite scents definitely have to be on the musky or sweet side of the scent spectrum. Pachouli and sandalwood are two of my absolute favorites. Of course, other ways I love oils are using is by burning incense sticks.

Something I've recently discovered is wearable jewelry that you can also diffuse essential oils in. So I took to Amazon to find something that was super stylish and served its purpose of helping with the aromatherapy. I came across an adorable rose gold wrap bracelet that has 8 interchangeable diffusing disks in 8 different colors to suit my mood. Of course, I chose to put in the pink color first, because, hello it's pink!


I fell in love with it immediately. Even though I don't currently have any oils to diffuse, but it looks like I will have to start purchasing some. If anyone has any recommendations on a good brand of essential oils, and list their benefits, please let me know as I am hoping to start buying some very soon.
