<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I some how have been reading a quite a clip this past week and enjoyed several of them so I thought I'd share. Especially because I love, love book posts on blogs! If you know of a blog that frequently shares booknerd info let me know in the comments!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And hopefully over there on the left of this page you can see my Goodreads.com ticker so you know what I'm reading if your interested :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anywhoo...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>A Gracious Plenty</i> by Sheri Reynolds</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Synopsis from Goodreads.com:</span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Badly burned in a household accident when she was a child, Finch Nobles grows into a courageous and feisty loner who eschews the pity of her hometown and discovers that she can hear the voices of the people buried in her father's cemetery. Finally, when she speaks to them, they answer, telling their stories in a remarkable chorus of regrets, explanations, and insights.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>

Finch is a </span></span><span style="color: #181818;"><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">likable</span></span><span style="color: #181818;"><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"> character and the story is the kind that you don't have to think about a lot, but you come away feeling better for have read it. And there are talking ghosts!</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Hollow City</i> by Ransom Riggs</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the 2nd book in the "Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children" series - which I had such high hopes for and was just ok - so then I wanted this book to perhaps redeem it...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Synopsis from Goodreads.com: </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">The extraordinary journey that began in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children continues as Jacob Portman and his newfound friends journey to London the peculiar capital of the world. But in this war-torn city, hideous surprises lurk around every corner. Like its predecessor, this second novel in the Peculiar Children series blends thrilling fantasy with never-before-published vintage photography to create a one-of-a-kind reacting experience.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>

It's just the same thing over and over again. Kids run into bad situation miraculously get out of it, run into it, get out of it. It gets old after like 5 times and that's not even half the book. The only </span></span><span style="color: #181818;"><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">redeeming</span></span><span style="color: #181818;"><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"> part is the cool pictures.</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #181818;"><span style="line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span></span></span></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>The House at Tyneford</i> by Natasha Solomons</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The synopsis from Goodreads.com:</span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">It's the spring of 1938 and no longer safe to be a Jew in Vienna. Nineteen-year-old Elise Landau is forced to leave her glittering life of parties and champagne to become a parlor maid in England. She arrives at Tyneford, the great house on the bay, where servants polish silver and serve drinks on the lawn. But war is coming, and the world is changing. When the master of Tyneford's young son, Kit, returns home, he and Elise strike up an unlikely friendship that will transform Tyneford—and Elise—forever.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My thoughts: This was a bit of guilty pleasure, I am a sucker for British countryside, upstairs/downstairs-esque literature. I love Downton Abbey and this is in that vein except for a little bit later in history. And I also thought it had a bit of twist at the end.</span></span><br />
<br />
That's enough for now.<br />

She started her blog because "</span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I really wanted to connect with others who care about fashion and most importantly feeling good about themselves. It's also a very nice outlet for me when life gets stressful." </span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Three words that describe her: positive, free minded, and independent, and I would say a ray of sunshine since I have gotten to know her. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So as I'm sure ya'll know, Sephora recently had a sale that you could access at different times based on your "ranking". VIB Rouges got in first , then VIB's, then Beauty Insider's. I don't know how much stock they had on the "good stuff" but so many things I wanted were sold out. No Pantone blush trio for me :(</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But I was lucky enough (and I had a long enough list) that I was still able to find stuff!</span><br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really like the truth serum, I had gotten a deluxe sample before and I put it on in the morning before my moisturizer and my skin looks brighter and glowy within 2 days. So I also wanted to try the day and night cream as well. Plus once again, travel sizes are awesome right now as I have 3 trips coming up.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am back again f</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ollowing on the coattails of one of my favorite bloggers Martha, from <a href="http://quickcheapandpretty.blogspot.com/">Quick, Cheap & Pretty</a> I am going to do a weekly round up of some "thought provoking" questions. These questions come from Marcandangel.com (a blog with practical tips for productive living!). Martha answers a question everyday and so far I have thought they were very thought provoking! I'm just going to do mine weekly, so here we go!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.799999237060547px;"><u>Is it possible to lie without saying a word?</u></span><div>
<span style="line-height: 23.799999237060547px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes oh yes. Lie of Omission anyone? Think of all the times you haven't said something and felt bad about that. I think there are more ways to lie than to tell the truth.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 23.799999237060547px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.799999237060547px;"><u>If you had a friend who spoke to you in the same way that you sometimes speak to yourself, how long would you allow this person to be your friend?</u></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 23.799999237060547px;">Forever! I am hard on myself - but I am honest and realistic. If I had a friend like that I would really appreciate it - plus it would re-affirm my own doubts and dreams. Also sometimes I say nice things to myself so my friend would reinforce that as well.</span></span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 23.799999237060547px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Napping - obviously. Reading, working on crafts. Binge-ing on Netflix shows (I mean technically you know each show is a certain amount of time - but that time just slips by like the smoke from Don Draper's cigarettes). Hiking in a beautiful setting, or relaxing at the beach. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.799999237060547px;"><u>If you had to teach something, what would you teach?</u></span></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 23.799999237060547px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Interviewing! I have always been wicked good at interviews, and then when I used to be a senior staffer I had to interview a couple people a day - so I saw it from both sides. I also saw that people do some CraZy stuff during interviews, and were letting their nervousness overwhelm them. I love being interviewed and I realize a lot of people don't - it's my secret calling! </span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's a Rainbow Honey polish from their Midnight Garden Collection called "Midnight Fountain". </span><div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's a blue tinted base with Teal, Blue and silver glitter - I don't know that I would wear this alone - I am pale, pale, pale and blue nails of this sort make me look like I have hypothermia! But it would make a fabulous accent nail, or glitter tip! Value $5.00</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So all in all another great bag of stuff! Total Value -> $38.75, and as you know Ispy's only $10 a month.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Along with my all my nail polish I brought home a bunch of hair product last week - because I am going to have at least one good hair day this summer! My hair has been a B*tc# to work with since I was about 28. It just lost it's beautiful natural curl, got thinner and mega frizzy. I tried growing it out for the last 5 years - yeah, 5 YEARS. I wanted hair like Blake Lively so bad.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But it's not going to happen. First of all I bet she has extensions, I have a very nice set of clip in extensions but I can't keep that up every day! And my hair is literally like dealing with a head full of spiderwebs - it's so fine I can an elastic pony tail holder almost 4 times around it and the frizz makes it stick out like a fine halo. So I have to give up the dream. Most of the time I wear my hair in a bun and when I wear my glasses (which is a lot) I like like a 1890's school teacher. So 2 weeks ago I had 6 inches cut off and more layers cut in - and then I bought a bevy of hair products to attempt some new styles.</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Both Kate's are rockin relatively "natural" hair, Kate Hudson's even has a bit of frizz - so I think I can make it happen. Also these two ladies pop up when you google "Hairstyles for round faces" and I have a big fat round head! I must be moving somewhat in the right direction :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So you always get a free Ion product when you renew your membership so I got some Shaping Plus fine mist hairspray. It has a 5 star rating on Sally's website - and I am going to need it to keep my hair looking like the gals above right?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They also had a deal where if you bought 2 Ion Solutions products you got $3 off - so I got a thickening spray and an Anti-Frizz Gel Mist. With the $3 off and the free hairspray I walked out Sally's with these three for just over $10.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First I saw some nail foil kits - I think they were $5.49 they are not available on the website only in the store. I really like the idea of a foil manicure, but the only other place I've seen the supplies is Amazon and the Born Pretty Store. So it's nice to see it for real, before I order something. I also found a lovely shade of blue polish that I think will look fab with the silver foil. It's "Blue Me away!" by Sally Hansen Xtreme wear.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also found nail bling!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The kit on the left has a fuchsia polish, fuchsia powder (to do a "velvet" manicure) nail glue and fun rhinestone bits. I also got the Embellish me! set from Fingers ($3.48) with 12 different designs of mini rhinestones. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then I went to Sally's Beauty Supply...and I found a few polishes.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">OPI "Push and Shove"(Gwen Stefani Collection) which you need to use with the Lay down the Base little mini next to it. Orly FX in "Be Brave", OPI "4 in the Morning" (Gwen Stefani Collection) and Orly "Cheeky". All of them except "Cheeky" I got on Clearance for $4.99. Score!</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here they are swatched. "Push and Shove" is amazingly chrome, it's a "specialty" polish that you can't put top coat on and they warn it will only last a day... but it would be worth it. In the picture it just looks metallic but it is the most realistic "metal" polish I have ever seen. The black one is "4 in the morning" and it dries to a matte "leather like" appearance that is pretty cool. I need to do silver foil or studs with this. The Orly FX shreddy glitter is prettier in real life and "Cheeky" has a light sparkle in it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So do I need all the polishes? No... but hey at least I'm not addicted to crack.</span><br />

Existing to me is just going through the motions, I think we all can think of a time when we were so sad or having a rough time where for a bit we just existed. Living is taking it all in and giving it all you got. Making each day count towards the next and letting the good and bad enrich you. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yesterday I got my first Beauty Box 5 - if you are not familiar it with it, it's a subscription service that sends out beauty samples and full size items for a monthly fee. I chose the quarterly subscription for $30. You can get a year for $99 (about $8 a box! no shipping). This month's "theme" was Shades of Beauty.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's much more berry. The lip liner is a deep berry as you can see from the squiggle. They are more "winter" colors, but I like them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall Value -> $13.93 I paid $10. So it's not like Ipsy super deal, but I'm not totally disappointed, but we will see what the next 2 months bring.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's lightweight and it smells...earthy I guess, it's not unpleasant. I put 3 drops on my hands at night and rub it in. It doesn't leave them greasy it soaks in very quickly, under a minute I would say. I also use it on my elbows (which have been crazy dry for some reason). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My cuticles and hands are finally moisturized and don't get little tears, I'm not so reliant on hand cream either anymore. The bottle is .5 fl oz for $12 - but the Body shop often has sales so you can get it for less. I am so glad the market is finally turning away from so much chemical hydration and getting back to what has worked for 1000's of years - oil love it!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 23.799999237060547px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 23.799999237060547px;">Once again it is time for a look into my mind and the mess that resides there :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
I am again following on the coattails of one of my favorite bloggers Martha, from <a href="http://quickcheapandpretty.blogspot.com/">Quick, Cheap & Pretty</a> I am going to do a weekly round up of some "thought provoking" questions. These questions come from Marcandangel.com (a blog with practical tips for productive living!). Martha answers a question everyday ( or most everyday) and so far I have thought they were very thought provoking! I'm just going to do mine weekly, so here we go!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.799999237060547px;"><u>What’s a belief that you hold with which many people disagree</u>? </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.799999237060547px;">There a quite a few of them and I honestly don't like to talk about things like this via a blog - it needs to be face to face. But I can give one example. I think the idea of Plural Marriage is ok. I'm not talking sister wives, and living in a cult style. But if it is all legal, and you are actually married to each one of your multiple husbands or wives - why not? If that's what does it for you and you all are happy - I could care less. I couldn't do it! But I'm really all for many alternative lifestyles.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.799999237060547px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> It is so dependent on how it is USED... If it is a true emotional release of course it's ok pretty much anytime. I only think crying is a weakness if you can't control it, and are just a wreck half the time. The only time I really see it as a strength is in a major crisis if people can hold it together, but they need release too!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I haven't done a book review in a while so I need to catch up! I've haven't ready anything great, but I found a new fun series.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First up...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat" by Edward Kelsey Moore</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15742642-the-supremes-at-earl-s-all-you-can-eat"><img alt="The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat" src="https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1359040518l/15742642.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>The synopsis of from Goodreads.com</u>:</span> "Meet Odette, Clarice, and Barbara Jean. . . Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat is home away from home for this inseparable Plainview, Indiana, trio. Dubbed “the Supremes” by high school pals in the tumultuous 1960s, they weather life’s storms together for the next four decades. Now, during their most challenging year yet, dutiful, proud, and talented Clarice must struggle to keep up appearances as she deals with her husband’s humiliating infidelities. Beautiful, fragile Barbara Jean is rocked by the tragic reverberations of a youthful love affair. And fearless Odette engages in the most terrifying battle of her life while contending with the idea that she has inherited more than her broad frame from her notorious pot-smoking mother, Dora."<br />
<br /><div>
<u><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My thoughts</span></u>: <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Usually I feel like there's something a little "off" when a book about about women's lives is written by a man, but this left me happily surprised. This book isn't super deep, or life changing, but it's a good story and I always love books set in the Midwest. This would be a good summer read.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Keep Sweet" by Michele Dominguez Greene</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6659606-keep-sweet"><img alt="Keep Sweet" src="https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1258600057l/6659606.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>The synopsis from Goodreads.com</u></span>: "Alva Jane has never questioned her parents, never questioned her faith, never questioned her future. She is content with the strict rules that define her life in Pineridge, the walled community where she lives with her father, his seven wives, and her twenty-eight siblings. This is the only world Alva has ever known, and she has never thought to challenge it. </div>
<span id="freeText14752063765397453811"><br />But everything changes when Alva is caught giving her long-time crush an innocent first kiss. Beaten, scorned, and now facing a forced marriage to a violent, fifty-year old man, Alva suddenly realizes how much she has to lose--and how impossible it will be to escape"</span><div>
<span><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>My thoughts</u></span>: <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now this book is about serious, terrible stuff. Usually I am all about freedom of religion, but this is not ok. But I like to read literature about new things so I can understand them. This didn't really help me understand, and in the end the main character resolved her problems so fast for someone so brain washed I was just like NO.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And finally...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Some Girls Bite" by Chloe Neill</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4447622-some-girls-bite"><img alt="Some Girls Bite (Chicagoland Vampires, #1)" src="https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1390828343l/4447622.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The synopsis from Goodreads.com: "</span>I was a grad student until Chicago vampires announced their existence to the world, and a rogue vampire attacked me, scared by the master of Cadogan House. To save me, Ethan Sullivan converted me. The Lord of the Hyde Park manor is tall, green-eyed, full of four centuries worth of charm. Suddenly I am handy with serious weaponry, and pursued by an unknown enemy."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>My thoughts</u>: This series (the Chicagoland Vampires) is my new guilty pleasure - they are in Chicago, there's mystery, and ridiculously cool vampires. And the characters are a bit over the top, but for the most part they deal with things normally - like Merit is actually upset that she was turned into a vampire against her will, she appreciates her friends etc... and most of all she is not a Bella Swan. Although the cover art doesn't quite match the description of the main character. There's also witches and water Nymphs and who knows what else and it's a fun easy read.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">About a week ago I was reading the lovely Pang's blog - <a href="http://xxxbeautyredefinedxxx.blogspot.com/2014/03/sally-beauty-haul-new-stuff-and.html">Beauty Redefined by Pang</a>. She has an amazing blog and you need to check it out - you want to see amazing swatches hers is the blog! Anywhoo... she posted about Sally's beauty supply having a bunch of nail polish on clearance. Then I got an email the next day from Sally's says the Clearance was an <i>additional</i> 50% off! I found a few gems!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9oWg9pFKIWqiKMxHqQPcs4u5jHSo_tWn8RuThAa37NGLKvN2dHV5JggI7lsFZfDM7-m6P-rw5sB3wpEcYN53Zv0-b5Oz4tYqIbgtdsMxLGnFtVJBONxbe6y2WrQrRUPIJmXt27U4-Z8o/s1600/IMAG1181.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9oWg9pFKIWqiKMxHqQPcs4u5jHSo_tWn8RuThAa37NGLKvN2dHV5JggI7lsFZfDM7-m6P-rw5sB3wpEcYN53Zv0-b5Oz4tYqIbgtdsMxLGnFtVJBONxbe6y2WrQrRUPIJmXt27U4-Z8o/s1600/IMAG1181.jpg" height="395" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From left to right: China Glaze "Howl you Doin'", Orly "Macabre Masquerade" & Orly Matte FX Flakie topcoat</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These were on Clearance $3.99 and then I got 50% off - so for $2 each these were a steal. Most of what they had were what I consider "fall" colors.</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I swatched them "Howl you doin'" was a bit thick (top swatch), you can see it's kind of goopey. I will have to add some thinner or only use it as an accent. The Orly "Macabre Masquerade" on the other hand is a really nice formula and I like the true blue color of it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you saw above I also got the Orly Matte Fx Flakie topcoat - and that is exactly what is - a flakie top coat that is matte - although it did chip after two days so that was sad.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have you scored any beauty steals lately?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am back again f</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ollowing on the coattails of one of my favorite bloggers Martha, from <a href="http://quickcheapandpretty.blogspot.com/">Quick, Cheap & Pretty</a> I am going to do a weekly round up of some "thought provoking" questions. These questions come from Marcandangel.com (a blog with practical tips for productive living!). Martha answers a question everyday and so far I have thought they were very thought provoking! I'm just going to do mine weekly, so here we go!</span><br />

<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 3px 0px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>What life lesson did you learn the hard way?</u> oh this makes me laugh... this is the thing - for the most part I "get" life, my parents raised me in a pretty brutally honest way. I have worked since I was 11 ( babysitting 5 days a week for a family with 3 kids - which seems insane to me now) I have been balancing a check book since 14, doing my own taxes since 16, and I lived on my own by 17. But there was a time in my 20's when I could not keep my financial business together for the life of me. This is before everyone had the internet at home and you could do banking online. The bills were piling up, I got laid-off, I had student loans. I didn't have a car because I didn't need one for the job I got laid-off from and they "told me" I couldn't get unemployment when I was laid-off but that wasn't true. So getting another job I could walk , or bus to was a challenge. It was bad and I ended spending 5 years and a lot of tears cleaning up that mess. But I learned a lot and now I can budget like a rock star and always have an emergency nest egg.</span></li>

I wish I had looked ahead and though what do I want to be doing in 5 years and how can I use this to my advantage? I just worked that job until 2 1/2 years ago when I finally just got burnt out. Then I was like oh I'll get a fun job! But that wasn't what I wanted so it took me another year to get on the right path. It's important to always be looking a few years ahead!</span><br />

I ask lots and lots of questions. If you look at the history of my Google browser it's like "what's the population of Romania?" "what is dropsy?" "who are the images at the beginning of Orange is the New Black?" I need to know everything! At work I don't care if it has to do with my job or not I want to understand things. I went back to school to get my MBA at 34 - so yes I ask questions!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yesterday was one of my favorite days - my Ipsy bag came for the month! yea!!!!!</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This months bag theme was "Destination Beauty". The bag was very colorful and specially designed for Ipsy by Klari. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I finally got something from Klorane! Here's the description</span> "<span style="color: #888888; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px;">Rich in soothing cornflower extract, decongesting arnica and chamomile, Klorane Smoothing and relaxing patches with soothing cornflower effectively reduce signs of tiredness from lack of sleep, a long day or sun exposure and instantly soothes and refreshes the eyes. Dark circles and puffiness are visibly reduced and the eye contour looks fresh and bright. Cool patches in refrigerator before use to increase effectiveness and enhance its refreshing effect." </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love eye patch masks - these usually come in a pack of 7 for $18 - so the value is about $5.14 as I got 2</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

"<span style="background-color: white; color: #888888; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px;">Make an impact with Marvelous Moxie™ Lipstick. Creamy, super-saturated, ultra-pigmented color glides on like butter for full coverage in a rich satin finish. Lips look fuller and more voluptuous. An infusion of minerals revitalizes lips for a healthy-looking pout, while a moisture-loaded hydrating complex helps to nourish and condition with Abyssinian Oil and Omega Fatty Acids for supple, baby-soft smoothness. All the while, an encapsulated vitamin A, C and E complex helps to deliver antioxidant defense, so you’re ready for anything—and everything."</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">This IS very moisturizing, and it's a mini tube which I really like because I <i>might</i> actually use it all up :) A full tube is $18 - so value ~$9</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">I also got a Nicole by OPI polish in On What Grounds - it a "Roughles" so it is a textured polish. Would you believe I only have one other "textured" polish? I'm a traditionalist what can I say - but I'll give it a try. Value $7</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">And finally an eyeshadow quad by Be a Bombshell in Bora Bora. Oh these colors are soooo pretty!</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #888888; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The formula is buttery soft and these colors! Value $16</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So this month's bag was worth $37.14 - and as usual I was super pleased with everything I got!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Following on the coattails of one of my favorite bloggers Martha, from <a href="http://quickcheapandpretty.blogspot.com/">Quick, Cheap & Pretty</a> I am going to do a weekly round up of some "thought provoking" questions. These questions come from Marcandangel.com (a blog with practical tips for productive living!). Martha answers a question everyday and so far I have thought they were very thought provoking! I'm just going to do mine weekly, so here we go!</span><br />

<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 3px 0px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>When was the last time you tried something new?</u> I have thought about this since I read this on <a href="http://www.quickcheapandpretty.blogspot.com/">Martha's blog</a> 3 days ago and I'm still struggling. I have tried several new foods, and I have taken new classes but I haven't really DONE anything truly new. I am looking for a Yoga class to go to 3 times a week and that would be new - so lets hope I find one :)</span></li>

I am always trying to gauge my value (which is probably unhealthy) so I'm always like "I'm more polite" , "i'm not as healthy minded", "I need to be more like that.". Blah, blah, blah.

I don't think it takes huge measures to chage our lives, our environment, our world. What if we all just changed our selves a little bit, imagine if people changed just 1% each year (recycled more,ate healthier, were a bit kinder). I really believe that by making sure my actions are in "check" I affect better karma!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I wanted to share an eye cream I have come to enjoy. I actually got it as a free sample when I filled out the skin care questionnaire on <a href="http://www.mariobadescu.com/questionnaire.aspx">Mario Badescu</a> - as well as other sample as well! They also currently have a 10% sale going on the website - I'm not sure when it ends.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really wanted to try an eye cream because I wanted one for night that is light but hydrating. I would use one with more anti-aging (ie Retinol) benefits, but my eyes always start itching at night. But I am getting older and I am all about preventative care - and the skin around your eyes is the thinnest on your body and needs extra love in order to stay supple. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCwePicWMZV2q0gIkADS2zrg8h-y4fcRVvEFEoXJd-bGxaAXBEQtTpCXssL2TWDjy3aVT0HHKq1rMgg9ALLds41eHcpmqS-YLI-ZRLB_2tJ3ibc07VU2o-4sGOPcxc-gdNnVPY17_a72s/s1600/IMAG1162_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCwePicWMZV2q0gIkADS2zrg8h-y4fcRVvEFEoXJd-bGxaAXBEQtTpCXssL2TWDjy3aVT0HHKq1rMgg9ALLds41eHcpmqS-YLI-ZRLB_2tJ3ibc07VU2o-4sGOPcxc-gdNnVPY17_a72s/s1600/IMAG1162_1.jpg" height="320" width="313" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From the Mario Badescu website:</span> "<span style="color: #006633; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><b>Hyaluronic Acid formula helps </b></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">lock in the skin’s own natural moisture without the use of heavy, greasy oils. Absorbent, medium weight cream for use day or night. Aloe based formula makes this cream suitable for all skin types, even sensitive.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"> "</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> $18.00 for .50 oz</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-pt1XZsX_KR8D2wOJM7gu6Xq4xX9FTsZwz51FEqIDrfLuKbjQZJgYv4asu8n8apa3hOpP7D95hhKn77zxhwAzz8bj_VIJgoyElOmWOnpS6ufTr-vPZNKtEpxHexUidTz_MGzk2HDI0U8/s1600/IMAG1165_1+(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-pt1XZsX_KR8D2wOJM7gu6Xq4xX9FTsZwz51FEqIDrfLuKbjQZJgYv4asu8n8apa3hOpP7D95hhKn77zxhwAzz8bj_VIJgoyElOmWOnpS6ufTr-vPZNKtEpxHexUidTz_MGzk2HDI0U8/s1600/IMAG1165_1+(1).jpg" height="320" width="275" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you can see above it's a light weight cream and it sinks right in to my normal/dry skin around my eyes. The sample I got is very generous - I have been using it 2 weeks and there's enough for at least a month more. I think I've found my go to evening cream!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What's your favorite eye cream?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's the synopsis from Goodreads.com:</span> "<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Based on a true story, an impassioned and propulsive debut novel about a headstrong girl from Far Rockaway, Queens, who is trying to find her place in the world Written in an urban vernacular that's electrifying and intimate, On the Come Up introduces a heroine who is irrepressible, dynamic, and unstintingly honest. Thirteen-year-old AnnMarie Walker dreams of a world beyond Far Rockaway, where the sway of the neighborhood keeps her tied to old ideas about success. While attending a school for pregnant teens, AnnMarie comes across a flyer advertising movie auditions in Manhattan. Astonishingly, improbably, and four months before she's due to give birth?she lands a lead role. For a time, AnnMarie soars?acting for the camera, flying to the Sundance Film Festival, seeing her face on-screen. But when the film fades from view and the realities of her life set in, AnnMarie's grit and determination are the only tools left to keep her moving forward. Told with remarkable compassion and based on the real-life story of Anna Simpson, whom the author met during the filming of the award-winning Our Song, Hannah Weyer's debut novel is an incredible act of literary ventriloquism that powerfully illuminates the lives of the urban unseen."</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>My thoughts: </u> I wanted to really like this book. But it needed to be about 300 pages longer. Or only focus on a few years of her life. It was spread so thin that I just felt like it was filled with flat stories in a way... and this could be a very, very powerful story if told right. It doesn't do the real life "AnnMarie" justice.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I wanted to share some products that I really wanted to like, but the relationship just didn't happen. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first is Boscia's Detoxifying Black Cleanser ($28 for 5oz). It is described as</span> <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;">This Black Cleanser heats up on contact with skin to effectively open and de-clog pores. Its gel texture transforms into a gentle and effective lather to dissolve oil and makeup, rinsing away pore-clogging surface debris, impurities, and excess oil. It refines skin texture, brightens skin clarity, and minimizes the look of pores over time"</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I feel like my pores have gotten larger as I age and like my skin to look bright and refreshed, plus Boscia has a pretty good rep so when it was a 100 point reward from Sephora I got a deluxe sample.</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh I wanted to love you, but you didn't clean off all my make up and you DRIED the heck out of my face. I might keep this around for post workout face washes in the summer - but I'm still worried it's too drying. I have normal skin, and if you <u>truly</u> have oily skin it might be ok for you. I did like the smell and the black gel is kind of cool, but we will not be staying together.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> On the Sally Hansen website it is described as</span> <span style="font-size: x-small;">"<span style="font-family: Gibson, Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; line-height: 22.399999618530273px;">A fast-drying top coat that seals nail color to a smooth, hard finish. Acrylic formula dries to a high-gloss shield and provides ultra-hard protection."</span></span><span style="font-family: Gibson, Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.399999618530273px;"> Nope. No No No. This stuff is terrible. I have tried it over Essie, over China Glaze and over Revlon polishes and they all chip within a day - example this week's manicure below:</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chipped to bits after 2 days, it looks like I took a chesse grater to my nails - which I assure I did not. I always use a top coat, because I like my manicure to last and I like shiny nails. This doesn't even really keep the shine. So disappointing. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well that sounded good, but I've tried the "real" Morrocan Oil and the argon oil shampoos and treatments. Frizz-Ease does nothing for me. I have very fine, yet curly hair - so it frizzes very easily. So I was curious about what was different about Kukui oil. I looked it up and it is described as</span> "<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">Made up of a variety of antioxidants and vitamins,</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"> </span><span class="yellowFade" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-align: justify;">kukui</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">nut</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"> </span><span class="yellowFade" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; outline: none; text-align: justify;">oil</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">can help protect and hydrate skin.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They are $5.74 each - so it's not a bad deal. I used it that night an 3 times since and you know what - my hair is so much smoother and softer! It is noticeably less, dry and much less frizzy! I have never seen such a difference from switching hair products. The only other time my hair has been this nice is when I have had a Keratin straightening done by my hairstylist ( but that's like $250 a pop for 6 to 8 weeks). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think I like all this stuff because it doesn't weigh my hair down - because my hair is so fine, silicone based products don't work, and I think the other "oils" are too heavy. This some how hydrates and smooths it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It may only work until summer rolls around but if it makes it through the summer humidity this will be my Holy Grail!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do you have a Holy Grail Hair Product?</span><br />
