Nexxus Gives Some Hair That Moves

And the hair chronicles continue, as they probably will for the rest of my life. It's always been a love/hate relationship with my hair, it's fine and thin, but I've slowly learned how to style it just right. However, I'm always looking for more volume and healthier hair - which brings me to NEXXUS Diametress! A surprisingly quality product.

My usual hair care brands tend to be Aveda, Bumble & Bumble, Oribe and the occasional sample variety, so being able to grab this during a Target haul is rather convenient. This particular line, has a nice three-part compliment. First step, the Nexxus Diametress Shampoo.

It lathers quickly, and even the husband partakes in the no-fuss shampoo that leaves hair soft and a little more alive. After rinsing (with cold water, as I do...) I add the conditioner.
The Nexxus Diametress Conditioner has an identical bottle. This definitely keep me guessing and I have to double-check the label before every use to make sure I use in the correct Shampoo/Conditioner order. The top band is different, but meh. I leave the conditioner on for a few minutes and then rinse again with cold water. I'm convinced the cold water rinse makes my hair shine.
Next up, the leave in treatment, Headress Leave in Conditioning Creme. After towel-drying my newly voluminous mane, I add a bit of this before styling, it is enriched with concentrated, 100% pure Elastin Protein and Green Tea Extract, sealing in moisture, volumizing hair and increasing the diameter of each strand for thicker, fuller, deeply nourished hair. Or so they say, and I second.

All in all, I think this is a great, reasonable option for anyone looking to add volume and health to those precious strands.

Neutrogena So Sheer Skin Glows

It's that time of year again. Dry, winter skin that refuses to glow. It's a real treat. Needless to say, I cut back on the harsh chemicals and add oil to anything I can until we get back to a normal Texas heat and humidity routine.

This is where Neutrogena Body Oil comes in. It's such an easy staple to have on hand. During my weekly (or semi-weekly) grocery store run, I can pick up a bottle, slather on, and repeat as often as necessary. I can add it to my bath or mix with my body lotion post-shower, either way, my skin thanks me every time.
