L'oreal Paris Extraordinary Oil Curls Review

         I am so excited to share with you my experience and opinions about L'oreal paris Extraordinary Oil Curls Shampoo,Conditioner and mask. 
As normal these products were given to me for free to talk about and bring this product to peoples homes. I am not paid or asked to say things. All you read is my thoughts and my doings.


Let me fill you in on what these have to offer and are for. Its all about nourishing curls. The oil complex is amazing. As it states on the bottle it has Amla,Coconut,Soja,Flax,Rose and Sunflower. Using nature and the natural earthy ingredients has me passionate from the start.

L'oreal Paris used an advanced formula so that the oil system which is oils,botanical extracts in oil is to help the fiber and replenish curls with nourishment and elasticity. I read the back of these bottles quite a bit, can you tell? lol I love learning about the newness in products and what elements they bring to the table.

As you can see in the photo, I received the Shampoo,conditioner and Mask. This was the only flaw I had. I was confused as when to use the mask. The mask directions stated using it with the shampoo. I didn't know if that meant not using the conditioner. Then I read the conditioner bottle and it said that I could use the mask after the conditioner for extra nourishment for my curls. That's how I used it, I put in after I was done with the shampoo and conditioner and let set for about 1-3 mins. It was a lovely add on to the normal routine. 

My hair has two sides. I call it Dr Jekyll and Mr.Hyde. Some days my hair has loads of curls and others its taken over by frizz and my hair looks wavy. The first day I tried these products my hair was pretty lifeless. Frizzy and very little curl.

The first thing I noticed was how the shampoo smelled. It was a great start to my shower. Then the conditioner made my hair feel light and wonderful right away. I was sold then. Only thing is I have been a fan of another brand for years. Just recently though someone told me that being a fan of one product is loyal and easy but buying and using other brands and types at different times or for different types of conditions is the way to go. So I started falling in love with this shampoo and conditioner.
When it dried, my hair felt much smoother and you could see my curls starting to form in a better more rejuvenated way.
 One wash and you could see my curls coming back alive. I know in most cases people expect perfect curls but my hair needs a lot of help. Dying it so many times and just not caring the way I should I knew my hair would need more help then just one use. 
All I am currently using is L'oreal paris Extraordinary Curls. 
The fact that this is for very dry hair and curly hair it was like it was made for me. I love it. Honestly, its hard to admit I have loved another brand for so long then boom I love these. 
They also have a oil in cream you can also use along with the products I have talked about here.

Over all I am beyond impressed and think L'oreal has out done themselves again. My hair thanks you!

Advil film coated fast acting tablets review


Advil. The brand we all know. Frankly though, I haven't always been a Advil user.

On that note let me remind you these are my opinions and I was given the product to share about, I got it for free. 

I really wanted to try Advil because sadly I have had a few issues lately with my back acting up from my weight lifting. I don't do anything extreme but I have been weight lifting since I was 14 yrs old. I love it. But over the years my body has let me down,my mind has made me lazy and well being a mom comes first. 

About 6 mos ago I started back into the weight lifting world. So when I got my Advil, I decided to take it before my workout. I always way to late and then I'm just a grump.
Before my work out. I was feeling pretty good and ready to go. I loved how easy they were to take and left no funny taste in my mouth.
I did my usual routine.
During! I look pretty happy since about half way through is when the aches tend to show up.I'm only 28 but man between lifting kids,dogs,groceries,anything I want to clean under in the house and my weights..my body has had a tole!

I loved taking the advil first but in reality I needed to know if after my work out it would act fast against my aches.
So I did a second work out out just for this blog the next day..okay okay I would have worked out anyway but I knew I was going to write about it.

Second work out was more boxing and little less weights but I felt the aches pretty close to finishing so I took Advil with my water and waited to see if I would end up on the couch or be able to run my errands.
I got to do my errands! Advil kicked in I would say faster then I even realized. I was in a go mood that it didn't dawn on me how well it worked.
They were 200mg and I took two each work out. I'm not a pill person so I will fight the aches sometimes and other times get my trusty Advil.

Thank you again for the chance to try these out Crowdtap and of course Advil for allowing the chance!
