Shea Moisture Fruit Fusion Coconut Water Weightless Shampoo and Creme Rinse

Image
I don't really experiment too much when it comes to my shampoo and conditioner. I have my tried and true that I keep in the shower at all times, and I only stray when I get a sample, because "waste not, want not" - ya know? Shea Moisture Fruit Fusion Coconut Water Weightless Shampoo and Creme Rinse was a part of my Birchbox selection, and it kind of took me a while to get to it. Can I just say, my hair feels so great I might have to buy the full size? Seriously. My hair is naturally a medium brown, very thick, wavy-to-curly, with a somewhat coarse texture that wants to frizz - a lot. That's what it is naturally - that is NOT what it is now. What it is now is bleached to the point that I can't get it to even hold a mild haircolor (I'm trying to bring it back up to a more natural tone - gonna have to go more hardcore on the color to do so, I think, but I digress...) It's stripped, definitely prone to frizz, and frankly, a bit woolly Well, I'm not

Oribe Cote d'Azur body wash and body cream

Image
I love a good, luxurious body wash, and Oribe's Cote d'Azur Refreshing Body Wash did not disappoint. It formed a light and creamy full lather on my shower pouf, and a moderate amount was sufficient to do a full shower, as well as a leg and underarm shave, without relathering the pouf. The lather also was creamy enough to give me a nice, smooth shave. The scent was spicy and warm, reminding me of Shalimar (remember that?). My skin felt clean and smooth afterward, with a light touch of the scent remaining and no dry, taut feeling.  I followed the shower with the Oribe Cote d'Azur Restorative Body Cream, and this one threw me a bit. Mainly, the scent was not exactly like the body wash had been. Where the body wash had a warm, amber, musky sort of scent, the body cream was much "greener" in its scent.The body cream was still spicy, but it was not as complex a sort of spicy blend. In fact, it was very unusual (for a body cream) in that it seemed

So far...

So far this year, the girls and I went to see Maroon 5 and Magic! I took Munch to see Train and The Fray. I took Gin to see One Direction and Icona Pop in Indianapolis (our third time seeing 1D!), and the next day we drove on to Chicago (well, Tinley Park, really) to see 5 Seconds of Summer and Hey Violet! Next week, Gin and I are going to Columbus to see One Direction AGAIN! Hey, don't judge. I got a Groupon for that one.

View from the stratosphere

Image
The girls and I are back home from our trip to Michigan where we saw One Direction (with 5 Seconds of Summer) at the Palace of Auburn Hills. The show was fantastic. The boys were amazing. And speaking as a grown woman with fully functional organs, I think I might have ruptured an ovary about halfway through. Niall was his usual charming self. Louis was fun, as always. Zayn was flawless. Liam was a dancing fool. And Harry... Ah, Harry... Harry was absolutely smouldering. I have to say, though, if I weren't a hardcore Harry girl, last night probably would've turned me into a Liam girl. He was so full of energy and light and life. I can't believe there were some so-called "fans" there with cruel signs abusing him. Honestly, how could anyone not simply adore him? We arrived at the hotel to find it full of Directioners and a wedding party - about a 50/50 ratio, it seemed. We had three hours before the gates opened and it was only a few minutes' drive from the v
