The natural selfie
Never forgetting.
I love the new bcbg pumps I got at Ross (I did a separate post on them), but I’m thinking this dress might work better with a light brown or tan high heel sandal instead.

I recently got my hair professionally dye as an ombre effect. I went with a lighter color on the ends – a light auburn brown and keep the top section of my hair darker at the top (which is a natural black/super dark brown). Going lighter of course will add to additional dryness to your hair, so it’s absolutely crucial that you deep condition and moisturize as much as possible. Motions contact me and asked me to review their new hair care products for colored treated hair and of course I was willing and eager. I’m always looking for better products that can help retain moisture and better condition my color treated tresses without striping the color out with drying sulfates. | |
So I started out with the first product which is the Motions Treat & Repair Color Care Sulfate-Free Cleanser. I wet my hair thoroughly with warm water and then added half a palm of Treat and Repair Color Care Sulfate Free Cleaner (Shampoo). I noticed that it lather up better well despite the fact that I had 7 days of residue on my hair from styling products. I rinse with lukewarm water again and apply a even smaller amount of the Treat & Repair Color Care Sulfate-Free Cleanser, I’d say about a little larger than a quarter size amount. I worked the cleaner through my hair, did not apply to my scalp at all but just concentrated on my hair strands. I did the final rinse with cold water. |
|
After I did my final rinse with the cleaner, I applied Motions Treat & Repair Color Care Conditioner. I noticed right away that the conditioner was very thick, smooth and two-tone in color (yellow/white). I was pleasantly surprised at how thick the conditioner was versus the Moisture Masque. I applied a generous amount and work the conditioner into my strands by hand on wet hair and then detangling with a wide-tooth comb. The conditioner was thick enough to allow for some slip in detangling. Once detangled I distributed the conditioner by gently brushing through my hair with a denman brush. I allowed the conditioner to sit on my hair for about 10 minutes and then I rinsed with warm water and then a final rinse with cold water. | |
I finished off my treatment with Motions Treat & Repair Color Care Deep Moisture Masque. The consistency of the masque was a little thinner than the conditioner but it felt, rich and went on smoothly. I saturated my strands with the condition then covered by hair with a plastic cap and went under a heating cap for about 25 minutes. I did a quick rinse in lukewarm water, but did not rinse out all of the conditioner as I wanted it to act as leave-in for my Wash and Go. When my hair finally dried it felt butter soft and fluffy. The moisture masque has a light pleasant smell that does not linger which is great because I prefer an unscented, light clean smell to my hair. I went outside in the daylight to make sure my color was looking good and not faded out and it was on-point. |
|
FINAL THOUGHTS: Motions® Color Care Line. The cleaner did a great job removing residues and cleansing my hair without feeling stripped of moisture or fading out the color. I was impressed with the consistency and thickness of the conditioner and felt it helped boost the final step of applying the moisture masque. I was very pleased with the softness of my hair, the smell and the bounce-back my curls had. What was most important of course was that it did not compromise the ‘tint’ of my color treated hair. It didn’t look dull, faded or take on a more brasher tone after using the cleaner. |

When it comes to money, there is no surprise that people want a lot more of it. It is also no surprise that when people get it, or in their pursuit to make more of it, they make money mistakes that can cost them dearly. One of the main goals of life is to live comfortably and make enough money that you do not have anything to worry about. If you are too busy making constant money mistakes, you are certainly setting yourself up for failure and will have a harder life than if you would have not made those mistakes otherwise. | |
One way people make money mistakes is by not using coupons when they can. Coupons have been around for a long time and still people refuse to use them. They feel it is either not worth the hassle or they just do not understand how to use them. Coupons are purely there to garner interest in a product and will serve you better in the long run if you use them regularly. Why not start using coupons when you go grocery shopping or even just buying an electronic product? You will find yourself saving hundreds or even thousands of dollars a year by doing so. The same goes for coupon codes you can easily find online. This kind of shopping is becoming very popular and online coupon codes are even easier to find and use with the help of saving services similar to Discountrue. Keep that in mind the next time you add something to a virtual shopping cart. | |
Another money mistakes people make is letting their spouse take care of all the finances. This is a huge no-no and anyone with a sense of money will tell you why. You should be the only one in charge of your money as you know the budget you have set fo |
