Everything Coconuts
Have you heard the buzz? Coconut oil is the go-to product for.. EVERYTHING!!
Our glowing, shiny-haired friends have been chatting away the different ways they used the super oil: as a nourishing face cream, repairing leave-conditioner or beach-scented body moisturizer. And that's just the tip of the iceberg: It's actually beneficial in raising metabolism and boosting immunity, too.
Tip: Rub a dime-sized amount of coconut oil on to dry ends to hydrate and tame frizzy flyaways. On your face, apply as you would your normal moisturizer. While it tends to have a greasier consistency (at first), it's fantastic at absorbing quickly into skin. A spoonful is enough to hydrate your entire body; swap it in for your current lotion.
Lips to FALL for...
Wow! Color on the go!
So you're in the bathroom getting ready to go out with the girls, have a hot date or maybe you have an important meeting...

There is an incredible product called "Color Wow" that completely camouflages your roots in less than 60 seconds. This stuff is amazing. Check it out!

Hygiene made easy!
Hot product tip of the day from Alanda....
This is my new favorite brush cleaner. It can be used to clean your beauty blender, or you can clean your makeup brushes with it. It is so easy, you just wipe your makeup brush around the solid balm, and then rinse with water. All makeup residue is immediately removed. It doesn't saturate your brushes like a brush cleansing spray does. This is much more efficient and I LOVE!!
What blow dryers do you reccomend?
People always ask us for a recommendation for the best dryers for at home use. Here is one of our favorites. Its got great power and is sturdy without being heavy. We also love the extra long cord!
