Nature's Gate Pomegranate Sunflower Hair Defense Shampoo and Conditioner

Nature's Gate Pomegranate Sunflower Hair Defense Shampoo and Conditioner

I've tried this product for over 2 months now and I have definitely realize some differences in my overall hair health. My hair is stronger and does not have as many split ends as before. I also find that they grow a lot faster and thicker. The color of my hair is naturally black and after trying this shampoo, my hair has gone darker in color for some reason, even the ends. The look stronger, healthier, and smooth.


Here is a picture of my hair before:

As you can see, it's like a bush. there're split ends and cracks at the bottom of my hair and it looks so disgustingly unhealthy. The ends of my hair are also lighter in color. (Hazel-brown) My hair was also falling off like rain at that point. It scared the hell out of me so I decided to look into it. I've done multiple researches and bought all the foods that are good for the hair. Even by doing do, my hair still does not seem as healthy as I wanted them to. I remember going to Whole Foods and saw this girl with beautiful hair. I saw her reaching over to this product and thought, maybe this will be it. Maybe this product can save my hair. I am so lucky and grateful that it did. 

Here is the after picture:

Of course, I only saw results in a few months, nothing works like magic but it was still a very fast and amazing progress. And of course, products alone cannot do magic. I was and still am eating healthy everyday. I am vegan now and never felt better! The products you use can surely contribute a lot but your diet is what makes your body stronger and healthier. 

Nature’s Gate is a vegan friendly company, therefore we do not use any animal or animal byproducts in their formulations and never test on animals. I highly  recommend their hair products because they are good for you and for the environment, plus they smell amazing!

Luna Bar reviews

Luna Bar

Now, Luna Bars does have more ingredients in them than LARABARs but they are really good and have a lot of variety. On the label of the bars, you might find Contains Traces of milk. It does NOT have milk in it. This basically means that the factory manufacture other products that have milk in them so they use the same equipments. However, the factories do clean their equipments before handling other products so it is usually safe and vegan.

Luna Bar totally blowed my mind. LARABARs does have fewer ingredients but as I said before, they all are made of dates so they taste quite similar. Luna Bar on the other hand takes you up and down the cycle of sinful good food that is healthy.

Lemon Zest

I am a die hard fan for lemon in dessert. I even plan to have a lemon cake on my wedding day. My mom said my childhood ambition was to sell lemonades. Yep. Lemon fan right here. This cake is zesty, tangie and lemony. It has a rice crispy treat with a layer of vanilla, lemon icing on the bottom. It's delicious and super filling.

Caramel Nut Brownie

I have not had a brownie in such a long time because it is not easy to find a vegan brownie where I live. However, this threat is ohhh soooooo good. It has a bar of thick, moist chocolate cake with a layer of caramel on the top, drizzled with more dark chocolate. And I have checked, their caramel is VEGAN !

Peanut Butter Cookie

Other than lemon, PB is my top soulful food. I love peanut butter. I used to eat them straight up from the jar. This treat has a rice crispy treat layer that is rich in peanut butter, sitting on top of a generous layer of vanilla peanut icing. Peanuts. Peanuts. Peanuts. If this does not turn you on, I don't know what will.


That will be it for today. I have been experimenting a lot of vegan foods as well as recipes for the holiday so stay tune !

LÄRABAR Reviews

LÄRABAR  Review

I might be one of the LÄRABAR's biggest fan. I have tried many of their flavors and cannot get over how something so simple can taste out of the world. I do have to say they all taste pretty similar because all of them are made of dates. However, the other ingredients that they add into each bar makes some differences.

Blueberry Muffin

My first LÄRABAR was Blueberry Muffin. When I first bite into it, there's pieces of blueberry, some chunky nuts and a pinch of acidity. It was like a raw muffin and it got me into the whole Larabar world of amazingness.

Apple Pie 

I also tried the Apple Pie. From then on, I did not need an actual pie to solve my craving. It was amazing, full of flavor and I know in the back of my head that it is good and healthy which makes it even better!

Lemon bar

I've tried this one recently and it was so refreshing ! I felt that I was in the tropical somewhere. This definitely taste a lot like their Pineapple Upside Down Cake, which is one of my favorite !

Seasonal LÄRABAR 

Gingerbread 

Gingerbread is my childhood favorite cookie and having this in a Larabar? I ran to the store to get my hands on it. I was not disappointed. The spices are strong yet comforting. If you don't like a lot of spices then this might not be the one for you but Snickerdoodle might be.

Snickerdoodle 

It has a very soothing and settle taste of the festival with a pinch of all the spices but are not too overwhelming. For this one and the Gingerbread, I might try to bake them to see what happen. Just a little experiment for the weekends and for the holidays. Who's in it with me?

Pumpkin Pie

Now, Halloween is over but we can't stop our pumpkin party! Honestly, I have never tried a pumpkin pie before because it just sound weird to me that a pumpkin can be in a dessert. After trying this bar,
I wonder if they will make a squash pie? 


Now I have tried a lot of LÄRABAR  and these are only the beginning of my review. I would love to do more of these Vegan Bar reviews if you guys want. However, I am not stopping here. There is one LÄRABAR that I love and I think it taste significantly different from the others and that is...
*...drum roll...*

Peanut Butter and Jelly

I am a 90s kid so you can't blame me. This bar tho. It's just like PB&J sandwich that you would bring to school when you are in Elementary school. It soft, peanut-ie, and filled with rich jelly. I cannot tell you how good this is. If you are a big fan of peanut butter, then this is the one for you. If you love PB&J, you will share the love for this bar. I guarantee it is amazing!

That is all for today, I hope ya'll have a wonderful weekend ! I am off to San Antonio for some photoshoot and will be posting more about the trip when I get back. Until then my friends...

ALBAToxin Release Face Scrub

ALBAToxin Release Face Scrub

I have been using this for a good three months now and been loving it ! It's so refreshing to the skin and after washing it, your face feels like a baby's butt ! It's amazing and it smells fruity too. It's vegan and cruelty free. It's oil free and no artificial in it. Man, it product is on point. You only need a penny large amount each time so this product will definitely last long. It cost around $5 at Target and HEB.

Pros:

• Smells amazing !
• refreshing after apply
• Clears your skin
• Skin feels soft and smooth afterwards
• Affordable

Cons:

• If you rub your skin too hard, it hurts because there's little tiny beads in them or maybe it was the lemon in product. So lesson learned, massage your face, not rub it like you're washing the dishes. 

I really recommend this product. It's vegan, affordable, 100% natural and an amazing way to pamper yourself with a good scrub. It was definitely worth all my pennies so give it a go and tell me what you think !

P.S. Happy Halloween everyone ! What are you dressing as tomorrow ?
