Can I Get a “Woot Woot” Wednesday–MoroccanOil

Note: This is an unsponsored review. All thoughts and reviews are mine.

Although the 80’s perms and 90’s oh-so-big hair phases are behind me, I have entered a new phase in life – the bi-monthly color treatment to cover up my grays.

Decades of perms, teasing and color-treating had left my hair dry, split ended and overall blah!

Last year, my hair stylist Britany (who is amazingly wonderfully and I have nicknamed the “hair whisperer”) introduced me to MoroccanOil.

My favorite three products are the Intense Curl Cream, Oil Treatment and Hydrating Styling Cream.

The first night I used the Oil Treatment, Britany had suggested I oil up my hair and leave it in overnight.

When I woke up I was WOW’ed! I couldn’t remember the last time my hair was soooooo soft!

I was immediately hooked and expanded my collection to the styling cream and curl cream. I like to use the styling crème with a pump of the oil when straightening my hair while I use the curl cream for those “I don’t feel like fixing my hair” naturally curly days (which my older son refers to as the “didn’t you feel like combing your hair” days).

After 6 months of using these products, my hair remains soft even on the days I don’t use the products! Even with color-treatments and almost daily heated tools (flat iron and/or blow dryer), my hair manages to stay soft.

The products may be pricey, but if you suffer from dry hair like I did, I say they are definitely worth their money.

Favorite Things

Since moving in February, I am on this kick of de-cluttering and/or organizing everything – my house, my computer, my brain, my life.

BUT there are some essential staples in my life that I will not get rid of any time soon. It got me thinking. Why not share what I love right now and it can be my Favorite Things post.

I wish I was Oprah and could jump out of the screen, point at you and yell “you get an iPad, you get a donut, you get a car!” Sorry, though, that’s not a-happenin’. :)

Without further ado, here is my ‘can’t live without or I might not make it through a day” list of the moment.

  1. Keurig Brewing System


    I love that when I wake up in the morning, this baby is waiting to pour me a big ‘ol cup of whatever the flavor of the day is.

  2. Wolfgang Puck Hawaiian Hazelnut Coffee

    I love Hawaii, I love hazelnut. Put them together and YUM!

  3. Clarisonic Sonic Skin Cleansing System

    I started using the Clarisonic about a year ago and it has really made a difference on my skin. I always thought hand washing with a cleanser was enough, but after doing that THEN using the Clarisonic, I found that there was still makeup residue left on my skin. No wonder I was breaking out like a love struck pubescent teenager!! Thanks to the Clarisonic, those days are gone! :)

    Clarisonic Classic available in Graphite Gray*, Pink and White

  4. Mango Tan Scrub from Sweetie Pea Creations

    When my good friend started selling these products, I decided to try them out because she was passionate about it and I was curious. I had not expected to absolutely LOVE these products! I will be doing a feature on the scrub and oil in a near future post. I will share why I love these products and there will be a giveaway. Stay tuned!!!!

  5. Pinterest

    I know this is not exactly a product or something you can purchase in stores, but it is a daily addiction. I go here when I need some inspiration, am bored, need a craft idea or am trying to figure out what to make for dinner.
