Majestic Pure Argan Hair Mask Review #MParganhairmask #ad

I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

I have curly hair and it can get frizzy and tangled. It's not easy to find a product that works on my hair. When I look for a product for my hair, I look for something that will style, soften, rejuvenate, and nourish my hair. Majestic Pure's Argan Hair Mask does all of that for me. It is rich in fatty acids and vitamin E. It's made with all natural ingredients including argan oil, Shea butter, coconut oil, and rosehip seed oil. This hair mask is great for all hair types. It helps to restore and strength weak and damaged hair. It conditions and moisturizes your hair so well.


The Majestic Pure Argan Hair Mask is so creamy and luxurious. I was pleased with the results on my first attempt. My hair felt so soft after using it, I kept wanting to touch it. I love the smell as well. It has such a lovely scent. If you're looking for a good hair cream for a reasonable price, Majestic Pure Argan Hair Mask might be what you need.


This is a before and after of when I used the hair mask. The left is the before and the right is the after. I love this product because it makes my curls look fuller and and frizz free. I applied the mask shortly after I took a shower and dried my hair with a towel. I applied the mask from my roots to the ends of my hair. I waited for 5 minutes and then I rinsed it thoroughly before combing my hair. It's that easy. Click here to purchase the same 8.5 ounce jar on Amazon for just $12.95. I highly recommend this product. You might not have the same results I did, but it is certainly worth the try. I will be using this product as a part of my daily routine.

Oye Garlic Press Stainless Steel Epicurean Garlic Mincer Review + Recipe #garlicpress #ad

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

If you like to use fresh garlic for your recipes but don't want to have to chop the garlic, the Oye stainless steel garlic press press is what you need. I initially tested this garlic press when I made roasted garlic chicken thighs and the recipe required 2 garlic cloves. It's so simple to use. I was impressed to see that the garlic press pushed through all of the garlic. It's also simple to clean. The cup that holds the garlic is removable so you can easily wash it. That is one of my favorite aspects of this garlic press. I like that it is strong and has held up well so far. I also like that it is so inexpensive for such great quality. I believe this will last for a long time.


With this 6-inch garlic press, you can even crush unpeeled cloves so there's no need to peel the garlic. It crushes into small bits of garlic which are much smaller than you could ever get with a knife. The elegant stainless steel will not break or rust. This is easily the best garlic press I've ever had. To prepare for the roasted garlic chicken thighs, I mixed extra virgin olive oil and garlic together in a small bowl. This was for spreading on the chicken thighs. I'm happy with the Oye Stainless Steel Garlic Press because I love to use fresh garlic for recipes like this one and so this is perfect for me. You can click here to purchase the garlic press on Amazon for only $10.00.


If you want to make the same roasted garlic chicken thighs I did, preheat the oven to 450. You will need 2-4 chicken thighs, extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, and 2 garlic cloves finely chopped or pressed through a garlic press. Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine the garlic and one tablespoon of olive oil. Spread the olive oil mixture on the chicken thighs. Roast in the oven until the chicken is cooked through. It usually takes 35 to 40 min to cook. The chicken turned out delicious and tender but if I were to make it again, I would add more seasoning. Don't forget to purchase the Oye Garlic Press on Amazon.

Can a Princess Be a Firefighter? Children's Book Review #CanAPrincess #ad

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

This sweet paperback children's book is called 'Can a Princess Be a Firefighter?' and is written by Carole P. Roman and illustrated by Mateya Arkova. It is about two little girls who ask their father whether or not they can have a certain profession and still be a princess. The book reflects on all the marvelous possibilities awaiting the two little girls. I love this book because it teaches girls that there are no limits and they can be anything they want to be when they grow up. I love that it shows girls in professions that are usually male dominated because it defies gender roles and what careers girls are expected to have.

All girls are princesses and all girls have it in them to achieve what they set their mind to. The book also teaches girls to never give up and to always believe in themselves. The illustrations are beautiful and lively, the illustrator did a great job. I gave this book as a gift to my niece and it immediately caught her attention. She asked me to read it to her. She is only 3 years old so she will get more use out of the book when she is a bit older. Click here to purchase this wonderful paperback children's book for only $11.99 or $2.99 on your Kindle. I genuinely recommend it as it's so inspiring for young girls.

UpNature Oregano Essential Oil Review #OreganoOilUpNature #ad

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.


Essential oils have been used for thousands of years, but some people are only just starting to use them and see the benefits they have to offer. I would be one of those people. I was never into essential oils but now I am. There are so many things they can be used for. When I received the grapefruit essential oil, I decided I would purchase an essential oil diffuser and I can't wait until I do. In the meantime, I like to use the essential oils for DIY projects. I made an all purpose cleaner with this oregano essential oil and it actually works. I liked the idea of making my own house cleaner because I know the ingredients that were included. I will also be using this oregano oil to make a DIY hand sanitizer. I liked that this oregano oil came with a glass dropper and it's a 4 oz bottle so it will last me a while. It's 100% pure and natural and rich in antioxidants. There are also no additives or toxins and it's made in the USA.


Benefits of oregano essential oil:
Helps heal cold sores
May help with almost all skin conditions
Treats foot or nail fungus
Protects against bacteria
Protects against fungi
Helps with inflammation
Terminates parasites and infections
Natural insect repellent
Stops sinus infections and colds
Relieves bites and rashes

Those aren't the only benefits. The list goes on. My only complaint with this essential oil is that the smell is strong. I don't like the smell of it so I don't know if I would personally use it in an oil diffuser, but I will surely continue using it for DIY projects. These are instructions for how you can make the same all purpose cleaner I made: 1/2 spray bottle of white vinegar, 1/2 spray bottle of water, 1 tablespoon of dawn soap, and 5 to 8 drops of oregano oil. Shake well. These are the instructions for the hand sanitizer I will be making: combine 10 drops of oregano oil with two tablespoons of coconut oil. For sinus infections and colds, place a few drops of oregano oil in a pot of steaming water and carefully inhale. Click here to purchase your own bottle of UpNature oregano essential oil.

UpNature #GrapeFruitEssentialOil Review #ad

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.


UpNature's grapefruit essential oil smells so amazing. I'm not even a fan of grapefruit, but I can't get over the smell of this therapeutic grade essential oil. It is 100% pure. There are no additives or toxins and it's made in the USA. I don't have an oil diffuser, but after receiving this product, I will surely be buying one. It would be great in a diffuser to make my home smell lovely and for aromatherapy purposes. It would also be beneficial for killing germs in the air. The oil elevates the senses so it's great for stress, migraines, and depression. It is also rich in antioxidants. This 1oz bottle will last me for several months.


Grapefruit essential oil is good for your skin and hair. It helps treat acne, prevent oily skin, and reduce the appearance of cellulite. It's also useful for keeping the skin's immunity strong against indoor and outdoor air pollution. I have been adding a few drops to my bath to get more healing properties inside my skin. I also added a few drops to my shampoo to help reduce grease and bacteria. It can also be added to conditioner and lotion. This week I'm making a DIY sugar scrub with the oil and I can't wait. It has so many uses and health benefits. I highly recommend UpNature's grapefruit essential oil. Click here to purchase the same 1oz bottle I received.
