Got2B Review!
Heres the BZZ!
Smoothing Lustre Lotion
- This product line has been recently reformulated with and indulgent cashmere infusion!
- Protects against heat damage from our favorite heat styling tools and contains a UV protectant
- Perfected for use on all air types, wet or dry
- Features a luxurious fragrance!
The Hairspray is awesome. Its light and wont weigh the hair down. I have yet to find a spray that will tame frizzys yet keep the hair smooth and soft! THIS WILL!
Then I tried the mousse and on days I want to go curly this is awesome! I got some awesomely frizz free scrunchiness with this hair!
and then finally the Satin Drops. WOW. for a finish these are great! and man they smell good. It feels like the biosilk super expensive drops but more than half the price and a way better scent! I got compliments on how yummy my hair smelled the first day I got it!
So overall. I love the product! and the price isn't bad too with a suggested retail price of 5.99. ( and I've found sales all over town!)

Update for JUNE!
Okay. So Ive been trying to get on to review this new product but alas I had to go and rip my power cord out of the lap top and pull the pin out with it. So I am without it and as Im going away on friday for a week to youth camp, then again two weeks later to Santa Cruz I just simply dont know if I will have time to post a video. I still dont know when that new power cord will be here either. So I will be posting a text review! I know that the next review will be better.
First though I want to share that I turned the big dirty 30 on wednesday the 9th. It was however, the BEST birthday Ive ever had! On wednesday we had a BBQ at my moms house with my family and my two besties! ( kat and Cass!) and thier kids. It was windy so instead of out in the back yard my Mom set up this cool buffet and kids area in the garage, complete with a mini theater and little bowling. We had delicious Kinders tri tip with a variety of salads and awesome Ice Cream cake! ( 30 years of ice cream cake tradition) My brother and his girlfriend Nikole gave me an amazing gift of a weekend away at the Nugget (casino) with my husband! NO KIDS. and some spending money, then my Mom and Step Dad got me a fabulous DB purse to wear out.. with another 100 dollars in spending money! AWESOME!!!
So Friday we dropped the kids off with my brother and checked into the Nugget. it was an amazing view! We had panoramic windows so we could see all of downtown Reno and sparks, and as far south as the eye could see. We got to swim and soak and drink, ha ha.. Dinner that night with Toms Brother and Wife at Trader Dicks was awesome. They rang the GONG for my birthday and we got this fabulous raspberry cream type dessert! We played a few bucks on the nickel slots and just enjoyed the night! Saturday we got to go to a movie which we NEVER get to do and then went to Great Basin Brewery with My brother and Nikole for dinner and beers and live music! Then of course Scorpions at the lounge... We had so much fun. It was great for our marriage too. My husband and I just got to be together and renew ourselves! Then Sunday was a BBQ with my Dad and Grandparents and siblings and it was awesome to see my son play baseball with my grandpa. Hes not going to be around for long and I know this will be a memory my son will always have! overall.. BEST WEEKEND EVER! haha
And now were off again on Friday to go to JR. High Camp. Im so excited. I get to spend the weekend with my family up there and then the week as a leader without kids. It will be the first time Ive been to camp without kids! Im going to miss my babies! But I know that God is going to do some amazing stuff up there!
Then on July 9th we leave for Santa Cruz! My husband and Kids have yet to see the real Ocean! Tom has seen the bay but not the ocean like this! Its going to be so much fun and as a photographer I am just so excited about all the photo ops! haha.
Hopefully Ill come home with a lot of photos! soo look for them mid July!

Memorial Day weekend and GEOCACHING
We had an amazing weekend! We spend most of the day on Monday out Geocaching!
What is Geocaching you ask?
Geocaching is like treasure hunting and hide and seek in one! You use a GPS ( or ipone/droid app) and input cordinates from the site GEOCACHING.COM and then you follow your GPS till you find your location. at this location you must find a hidden container of sorts and inside will be a log book and often a treasure. You take a treaser and leave a treasure. (usually some sort of trinket) This is a global game that can be played anywhere!
We spent the whole mid morining to late afternoon Caching! We got 5 of 7 found! The kids love it. We go on all sorts of adventures and hikes and we end up finding places whithin our city we never knew about!
in the photo below is a microcache! we had to find the rock then split the rock open to find what was inside! it was aweseome!
We had a bbq with family for dinner that night and played minute to win it games, which of course hillarity insued!
Saturday My two best girls and thier kids came for a bbq at our house and I missed them so much! It was great to just catch up and let the kids play! Overall it was a great weekend!
Due to the Holiday however, mail has not yet come and so I have product to review.. but Im hoping it will be in todays mail as Im sure you all waiting or the next coupon!!

and coupons but this time I think there will even be samples! how awesome is that! Look for it next week some time! ~I LOVE my Bissel carpet machine! I got it for free practically! We got a KOHLS gift card for $100 when we switched cable companies and got the Little Green Machine with that gift card. It works amazingly! Ive used it once when I got it and was super impressed and now again today! It was fast and detailed. I thought NO WAY would it be easier then a stand up but I think because I can really put some elbow grease into it it works better! I cleaned my entire living room with only ONE fill of the basin! Oh and I got the heated one too.. I love having clean carpets! ( sorry ladies no coupons for this.. just a good ol Rave!)
~ I got my coupon in the mail today for a free Bowl at GENGHIS GRILL.. guess what were having for dinner! haha

Its powerful cleaners cut through soap scum and grime and work over-time to continue cleaning for up to 4 days. helping to keep your bathroom cleaner longer!
