RELAX WITH NEUTROGENA RAINBATH

1 Comment November 15, 2018 mmdeidra

After winning the pageant back in October, things have really kicked into full gear for me and my calendar is jam packed with back to back commitments, but I’m grateful to partner with Neutrogena and try out the Neutrogena Rainbath Shower and Bath Gels. #gotitfree.

A girl needs some down time and I usually carve out some relax time with a nice hot bath or a refreshing shower. Lately, my fav scent to shower with is the Ocean Mist, it makes me feel like I’m at the beach on vacation. After I run out of the Ocean Mist, I can’t wait to try out the Fresh Plum, Pomegranate, Pear and Green Tea and the Original Rainbath scents too. What I love most about the line is that all the gels are a 3-in-1 and can be used as a shower gel, or used for a nice hot bath or as a skin smoothing shaving cream. 3-in-1 really means 3 things off my very busy to do list and 3 ways I can get some relax time in.

My skin has been super soft these past few weeks and I smell super fresh. Down time has never smelt so good. If you’re my friend and you’re reading this, just know you’ll be getting one of these for Christmas because I know your just as busy as I am and need an excuse to relax and take a hot bath too. Proud to say I’m adding the Neutrogena Rainbath gels to my gift giving guide this year. Speaking of gift giving, I’ll be sharing my Christmas gifting ideas on the blog soon #staytuned.

Till next time.

Sincerely,

Deidra Marie

HEALTHY HAIR WITH FORMULATE+A GIVEAWAY

Taking it back to my roots and bringing you all the hippie 70’s vibes on this blogpost today. For those who have been following along for the past year you know about the ups and downs and the whole roller coaster I’ve been on trying to get this hair to behave. I’d like to extend my deepest apologies to those who hear me complain on a daily basis on my IG stories, LOL, you guys are the real MVP’s. I’m such a drama queen sometimes but am so grateful to have a head full of unruly hair but sometimes this sister needs a break, LOL. #thestruggleisreal. Thankfully, this journey with Formulate has been nothing less than AMAZING. For all the deets on where my journey started with Formulate click here. Having kinky coily hair doesn’t have to be a daunting task. On this formulate journey, I’ve learned that a good hair cut, normal ph water conditions and some amazing shampoo and conditioner is the perfect formula to healthy hair. Before using the Formulate line I had hard time maintaining a healthy moisture to protein balance, my kinks and coils were lifeless, I experience more shedding than usual and detangling was an all-day event. If you’re like me, you know how wash day can be. I’m currently on my 3rd application of the Formulate haircare system and the results are amazing. I have to be honest I was concerned the shampoo would dry out my hair like every other shampoo because my hair is so fragile and prone to extreme dryness with any shampoo application but the formulate shampoo not only smells amazing (I have the tidal scent) but is gentle on my delicate coils, provides a light lather and gets my scalp and strands squeaky clean. Not to mention, my coils are getting a much-needed hair therapy and really loving the creamy consistency of the conditioner. My detangling sessions are under 20 minutes and my hair is back to its usual thickness with minimal hair shed. Simply put, my hair has made a complete 360.

Okay, okay, let me stop bragging and starting gifting. Keep scrolling for all the Formulate giveaway deets. I’m so excited!

Tis almost the season for giving and what better way to get this party started than with a Formulate Giveaway! My hair results have been amazing and I’m just here to spread the love to your lovely locs too, so it’s giveaway time!

A HURRICANE MICHAEL THEMED WEDDING

Leave a comment October 30, 2018 mmdeidra

When a hurricane is expected to blow into town, just dress up with some of your fav blogger pals and have a fun wedding photoshoot. This beautiful vintage bohemian inspired photoshoot was beyond fun! One of my fave blogger pals, Nicole, of the doctorette reached out about being a bridesmaid for an amazing photoshoot she had lined up at The Meadows. Isn’t she a lovely bride! Funny thing is, she actually is a real bride who will be tieing the knot soon. (not to the man featured in the pics) LOL. After the wind, rain, and jamming to some serious 90’s tunes, I was beat. I love connecting with other Raleigh bloggers to make photo magic. We’re just creatives trying to spread creative wherever we go. Keep scrolling to see all the creative photos they captured and peep the list of shout outs too because none of this awesomeness would have been possible without them.
