Ivory® 2-IN-1 Hair & Body Wash Review

Yesterday I had the opportunity to try this new Ivory® 2-IN-1 Hair & Body Wash.  I really like the idea that it's 2 in 1 cause you don't have to spend extra dollars on buying a separate body wash and shampoo. I like that it comes in just 1 bottle and also a great way to refill it in a small bottle and throw it in your gym bag for those who works out like me.  I really like the refreshing scent of this shampoo and body wash.  I can't make out the scent whether it's a floral scent, but it has a nice perfume scent that isn't overpowering at all.  This 2 in 1 is hair and body wash is pretty simple and it works perfectly well for me when I'm on a go after working out at the gym.  I'm so glad I had an opportunity to try this full size bottle through influenster.

Here's a description of what the bottle stated:

Ivory hair and body was cleans you from head to toe while leaving your hair conditioned.  It's as simple as that.

Disclaimer: I received these products to test for free through the Influenster VoxBox program.

My Fashion Sense Part III

To be honest I don't really have a fashion sense at all when comes to shopping.  On my typical days I dress in my sloppy clothes that consist of a t-shirt, jeans and a hoodie.  I've been very lazy in dressing or glamoring up for myself cause my day is consist of picking up my little girl and working with kids.  I'm not sure if it's the comfortability factor that plays a role to it as I'm getting older.  I feel that the world can throw you off at times.  Society and friends can comes to role where we at times judging each others of how the way we dress and how we look. I dress up only when I'm in mood, but each day I always promise myself in dressing up more for myself.  I'm dressing up for myself, not what people or the society will think of me.  

I did some spring cleaning and try to minimize my wardrobe and try to wear what I have or mix and match some of the previous older clothes that I brought.  I recently also brought some tops and I notice that Horse prints has been very trendy and popular these days. I think horse prints are popular now after PSY created the Gangnam style song.  I also got a floral pink top for the summer.  These tops are able to mix and match from causal to a sophisticated events.  I have to admit, I've been having an itch and wanting to buy more clothes.  I always try to find an excuse or reasons of wanting to get a new items just to match with a certain look.

I find things that appeals to me more than the name brand.  I make sure that the quality is long lasting when I'm buying certain type of clothes. I used to work as a production coordinater at a fabric company.  I seen many fabrics that came into my office.  I studied and analyzed the fabric each time.  I also looks at prints/designs of how the pattern flows.

Also I rarely shop at high end brand name store.  I find things that are appealing and budget friendly to my wallet than the name itself. 

What do you look for when shopping?  Does name brand appeals to you more or the quality items appeals more to you?

Hydroxatone Anti-Aging BB Cream

I recently got this Anti-Aging BB Cream through IFabbo.com and I want to review this BB cream.  I never heard of this brand and was very curious of trying this out.  I have only tried 3 BB creams so far and I have to say that there is this love and hate relationship with me when trying out different types of BB creams.

What I like about this Anti-Aging BB Cream: 

• That it hides my uneven skin tone and it minimizes my imperfections. 
• Has Broad Spectrum SPF 40 Sunscreen 
• Could wear this alone for outdoors events and acts like a makeup or for skincare 
• Gives you hydration 
• Feels light weight, doesn't feel heavy at all

Here's the description of what the box says:

Hydroxotone Anti-Aging BB Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 40 is your all-in-one multi-tasking perfecting cream that hydrates, conceals, protects, reduces the look of aging, and brightens skin in just one step.

Hides uneven skin tone and minimizes the appearance of imperfections.  Works perfectly under foundation, or all on its own.  Skin looks naturally flawless.  Effortlessly perfect.  Overall more youthful.

My diet plan

I was never to keen on watching my diet from my early 20s till in my early 30s.  I eat what I want and don't really care if I gained.  Eating makes me happy, especially when I'm with a friend.  Now that I lost that circle of friends, because I have my own busy schedules and they have theirs too.  Eating wasn't much fun anymore without a company.

Unfortunately I'm not blessed with a perfect figure, I have an hour glass shape figure and it was very hard in losing weight.  I know that I have a slow metabolism.  Each new year I always tell myself to eat healthy and workout more.  Things never changed and I still procrastinated continuing eating and gaining.  My highest and heaviest was almost 138lbs being 4'11.  I also have a heavy set of breast that makes me feel conscious even more of myself.

This is my journey on losing weight and attempt on documenting my journey. I want to see that change instead of doing nothing.  Last summer my husband encouraged me to get a gym plan and found a place for me where I can jog or doing some weights.  I attempted to go to the gym at least 2 times a week.  At first it was hard I started on the treadmill running 1 miles took me 30 mins within 5 lapses.  I try to pace it up each time.  My current stat now is 17 mins 1 mile 3 lapses and I jog the whole way through.

This is me before and after from 138 lbs to 125 lbs.  I've been also watching what I eat as well.  I recently pulled out my old juicer and decided to do more juicing.

Carrot Juice 

• 1 Pear
• 2 Apples 
• 1 Big Carrot
• 1 Small Ginger 

I hope I will see more results and keep continuing my healthy journey.

Clarisonic Mia 2 Reviews

I have decided to document my Clarisonic Mia 2 journey and I have notice some changes to my skin. I'm currently using the sensitive brush as of now.  

Week 1
I notice a bit of change after using this, my face feel smoother before, but I purposely and trying not to excessively use it everyday.   I use it normally once every other day and so far I've been using it only in the morning.  A friendly pimple came recently on top of my forehead.  

Week 2
Notice been breaking out a lot after using it.  The breakouts occur around my chin and forehead area. Been using it only in the morning so far once every other day. Hope my pimples will clear up soon.  I notice that my pores has tighten and that it wasn't as visible as before. No red blemishes.

My Clarisonic Mia 2 Review

I have posted before of my Clarisonic Plus review, but recently I wanted to say that I downgraded the Clarisonic Plus for a Mia 2.

The reasons why I downgraded is because:

1. I didn't have room for the base to charge 
2. I feel that the plus speed is way stronger
3. I was breaking out extremely bad and I didn't reuse the Plus again

So why did I repurchased the Clarisonic again?  The reasons why I repurchased the Clarisonic again is because I notice that my face has been really dull and I notice that my pores are more noticeable.  I have been breaking out around my chin area and have hard white heads around my chin area.

I will try to document my Clarisonic Mia 2 journey of each time I'm using it and hopefully I see some good results.   I repurchased my Clarisonic Mia 2 + Cleansing Brush Head Value Park with my 15% Sephora Chic Week discount.

Week 1
I notice a bit of change after using this, my face feel smoother before, but I purposely and trying not to excessively use it everyday.   I use it normally once every other day and so far I've been using it only in the morning.  A friendly pimple came recently on top of my forehead.
