favorite moisturizer

this facial moisturizer has been my favorite for the past year. i have really dry skin, especially now that winter is here and this leaves my skin so soft, never greasy. super moisturizing with anti-aging properties and the day time formula contains an SPF 15. i love Clinique's skin care products because they are fragrance free and allergy tested. i have never broken out from them. i wear the 'dry combination' formula in the warmer months and the 'very dry to dry' formula in the colder months in both the day and night creams. they are $48 a piece but well worth it. a little goes a long way! invest in good skin care. you deserve it!

Clinique Youth Surge Age Decelerating Moisturizers (Day & Night Formula) 

amazing product for dry hair!

i live in michigan where we have been having below 0 temps on a regular basis. and lots of snow and ice and wind! brrrrr. winters are pretty harsh here. i have naturally curly hair, which is dry as it is, so when this weather rolls around, it makes my hair even worse! but!! i just discovered a really great product for winter months to protect and nourish dry hair. i have a few leave in conditioners but i wanted something a little bit heavier for winter. so after looking through all of the hair products at meijer, i came across this in the section for black and african american hair.

it's called 'optimum oil therapy 3-in-1 creme oil moisturizer' by softsheen-carson 

this contains coconut, olive, avocado, and jojoba oils. helps prevent dryness and breakage, provides moisture and shine, even protects from heat damage! comes out white and has the consistency of sunscreen. looks like it too. i put this in the bottom half of my hair when i get out of the shower. you can apply it to dry hair as well and it doesn't leave any greasy build-up. if you have very thin or limp hair, this may be too heavy for your hair. $4 for 9.7 oz. so it's really affordable! love it!
