Shea Moisture Curling Souffle

9.99 for 12 oz @ Walgreen

Last Thursday, I swung by Walgreens to check out Shea Moisture Curling Souffle. I have seen a few reviews on the product and I wanted to let my "hair" review it also.

Friday I washed, deep conditioned, and trimmed my ends (People ask all the time how have I retained so much length and I contribute a lot of it to my trims; which I do regularly ). After the trim I decided that I wanted to wear a twist out with this product.


The morning after my twist out was GORGEOUS!!! (I dont have great pictures. I tried to give you a close view. I should have just asked my husband to help me out or just pulled out my camera and not my cell phone.) My hair had a beautiful shine and a lot of body. I did have some shrinkage but my hair was twisted in a wet state.  I figured that the shrinkage would be intense but dont get me wrong I LOVED it.

 In these pictures, I had just taken out my twist. I have not used any oils yet. Actually, I didn't add oil at all because it had a the shine it needed.

I have used many many different gel and the only one that I have become fond of over this past year is KCCC.

Shea Moisture actually has me liking a new gel. For my hair, the CS doesnt give me an issue with product build-up. If you have used KCCC before you know that you can not use this product with much because it will cause a bad build up.  I used loreal's leave-in conditioner and I had no issues with CS.

Also, With the CS, I didnt have issues with stiff or hard hair (KCCC makes my hair stiff and hard. I would have to apply oil to soften). However, I did have an issue with it being a little sticky for the first few days. This is actually the only con that I have toward this product. It has maintained a soft bouncy look so far and its Wednesday.

Curling Custard

You get more for the money! CS is 10 bucks for 12oz Versus CC for 10 bucks for 8 oz.

If you are looking for hold with this product, you may have to add a lil ecostyler (or your favorite gel) to this product for more hold.

Also, My curls loved it. I will wear a wash and go soon and share pictures. Its kind of cold in Central Texas. The temperature will be rising later this week. If not, I will take pictures of my hair before washing and twisting, this weekend.

Will I purchase again? Yes. Despite the stickiness, I really like this product.

SIDENOTE: I usually twist my hair up before bed to maintain some of the definition. Last night I also added a little Mimosa Hair Honey for a lil oil and frizz protection. I still think its pretty. If you have any questions, please ask away!!!

Shaggy was looking and feeling good after his hair cut. ;)

Shea Moisture Curling Souffle review is coming

I finally got a hold of this product and I want to try it out. I have been a fan of the KK's Curling Custard and hate the price. So I want to see how my hair likes this product to have an alternative. I will be washing and flat twisting my hair shortly and when give a review and then will wear a wash and go. Thank goodness, the weather is still nice. So Tomorrow or Monday, I will have a review for you. I may just do a comparison to the Curling Custard as well. I will have my pictures as well. If I dont check in with you tomorrow, I hope that you have a wonderful weekend.


<3 ya!!!

My workout today 10-14-11

1. 2 miles on the bike
2. upper body strength training
3. a little basketball...husband kicked my butt!!! Cant I played my heart out.
and then finished with running a quarter of a mile and walking the rest. It's a start. Though what I did today was wear a sports bra with my regular. I felt better in the chest area!

Not bad for being sick. Still not feeling the greatest but I needed to get up and get active again.

Hope you are doing well.

My dining table re-do Part 2...more details.

I forgot to take pictures of the table but I still have time because my dear ole hubby said that he will start refinishing it next week.

I will add pictures of the table tomorrow when I get out of bed....dont feel up to it right now.

I want these chairs but I really dont want to pay 159 each from Pottery Barn. I have been on a mission to find these chairs and actually found 4 at a consignment shop but I have a table of 6. If I get those I would have to find  arm chairs. I dont HAVE to find but I think an arm chair would work best. I just have to find something that wont take from the texture of the side chairs but add to the Caribbean feel that I am after. I better make up my mind and fast because those chairs may not be there when I return.

If you have some ideas, please share! I would love some ideas.

This is my inspiration. My table is a rectangular but I LOVE this style!

All pictures are used from potterybarn.com. I dont not own the rights of these photos just using for inspirations and ideas. 

speaking of working out...

I HATE running. I dont know why. Maybe its the F cups that I sport but I just hate it. Well I am so curious about those who say running is a stress release. All it brings me is stress.

 I know...DRAMATIC! Well anyway, Since my husband is an avid runner, I wanted him to see why I hated it so much and why I have issues going to long haul.

He said that he thinks its because I hit the pavement like I am a pro. Too much too fast! Well I am determined to get this because I (hate) not being able to do something. Im no quitter!!. So for the next few weeks I will be developing myself as a better runner.

I heard that there is a GREAT program for beginner runners on iPhone but I have a Droid. That sucks but I found one that I heard is suppose to be similar.

Wish me luck!!!

I dont know how much running I will get down this week because I think I may have the flu but I will be out there soon as my head stops spinning and stomach stops the acrobatic mess. See you soon.

P.S. I have pictures of my mini vacay at the beach. I will be posting real soon.

How is my working out going??

I have gotten up off the couch but I am not where I want to be. I have had days that I haven't worked out because of my schedule. This means that I need a rainy/busy day workout alternative. Here's to another week of working towards a healthy life.

Shoe Dazzle Shoe of the Month-October

So I have been seeing articles about Motorcycle Chic for this coming season. I wanted to get in on that tread because I think it can be really cute. So this month, I declined to order my a pair of boots to create my version of Motorcycle Chic. I think this boot will be hot with a pair of skinny jeans, and t-shirt and cardigan. Well there are so many ways but that is the way that most mags are interpreting. Now it just has to get cold here so I can wear it.

If I didnt share before for my friends that arent into the heels all the time. Shoe dazzle now has a casual chic collection for you to enjoy. Go check it out.

Now off to find me a cute jacket....
