This past summer I turned 51 years old and let me tell you, getting old is not fun. Your body, hair, skin and nails all change…and not for the better. My hair has always been thick, but is now starting to thin. On top of …
Summer is in full swing and there’s nothing I like more than to get a pedicure and show off my brightly hued toes! I recently learned about a great product that makes the pedi process even better! Original Pedi-Sox are the answer for those of …
Let’s be honest—when your hair looks good, you feel good. After all, the term “bad hair day” isn’t just about hair! Admittedly, I’m not a big user of beauty products, but I do love a nice shampoo. I recently received some top-notch shampoo to review, Vitabrid Scalp Shampoo. This stuff is fabulous!
* Complimentary Product Received for Review.
First, let me tell you what makes Vitabrid Scalp Shampoo so special. It’s designed to strengthen hair and hydrate the scalp, using “proprietary biotechnology” to promote scalp health and prevent hair loss. Here’s what the company says about it:
“Vitabrid keeps the scalp at its healthiest condition with a mildly acidic pH level of 5.5 (± 0.5) which maintains a healthy pH balance of the scalp. This slightly acidic pH will strengthen a weakened scalp while protecting it from harmful bacteria. Free of harmful silicon, parabens and sulfates, Vitabrid Scalp Shampoo eliminates harmful chemicals and irritants from its formula. This further supports the scalp with vitamins and naturally derived plant ingredients for everyday use.
“In addition to a proprietary new form of Vitamin C, Vitabrid Scalp Shampoo contains 7 natural ingredients to supply moisture, calm the scalp, increase hair luster and form a protective scalp barrier.”
My experience with Vitabrid Scalp Shampoo? I’ve been using it exclusively since I received it, and I’m really impressed. I love everything about it! Here’s the breakdown:
* The shampoo itself—Clear, pale yellow, thick enough so it’s not drippy but not at all dense or medicinal.
* Fragrance—Light and pleasant, it’s neither floral nor spicy, so it’s suitable for both women and men.
* Lather—Rich but not overly thick; the lather is easy to distribute through wet hair.
* Rinseability—Perfect; the shampoo quickly and completely rinses out, leaving no residue.
* Results—Shiny, soft, full, and healthy hair; I definitely don’t need to use conditioner with Vitabrid Scalp Shampoo, since it leaves my hair silky and easy to brush even when wet.
Luckily for me, I don’t suffer from any scalp problems or hair loss, so I can’t speak from personal experience as to how this shampoo helps with those conditions. However, I can tell you that Vitabrid Scalp Shampoo is one of the most luxurious and effective shampoos I’ve ever used.
Vitabrid Scalp Shampoo is available online from Vitabrid or at Barney’s New York stores and website. You can connect with Vitabrid over on Facebook.

It’s hard to believe, but fall is right around the corner, despite the hot weather many of us are still enjoying! I actually love the fall—the crisp weather, the pumpkin flavored overload and the beautiful fall colors. As your summer tan fades, you’ll definitely want …
Though I hate to say it, summer is winding down – but there’s still time to squeeze in any travel plans you’ve been neglecting! Whether you’re going away for a long weekend, or heading to your annual family reunion, there are still fun times to …
You would think that summer would be a relaxing time, but I feel like I’m even busier than ever and I definitely look forward to winding down at the end of the day. The list goes something like this. Heels off? Check! Hair in a ponytail? Check. Wine glass filled? Check. Make up off? Check! I love coming home and not only clearing my mind, but clearing my face as well. I’ve been using a fantastic product from Osmosis Skincare called Lift Away Cleansing Balm. Just the name sounds like it will make your whole day better, doesn’t it?
* Complimentary Product Received for Review.
Cleansing Balms are a refreshing and easy way to rinse the day away and combat dry skin. Osmosis Skincare recently launched Lift Away Cleansing Balm, which is a lightweight, non-foaming cleanser that absorbs into the skin to dissolve makeup and impurities while detoxifying pores.
I’m definitely a fan of this product and of the company too. I’ve reviewed several of the Osmosis products and am always impressed by the quality and how my skin looks and feels. This product falls right in line with those other beauty essentials in their line that I use on a regular basis.
Not only does the Lift Away Cleansing Balm feel great on your skin, but it also refines your complexion while maintaining barrier health with ingredients like mangosteen, elderberry fruit juices and avocado oil. These ingredients will give your skin a gorgeous glow and will increase moisture to keep your skin soft and hydrated. This product also helps with breakouts, which I need in my life. Always.
This cleansing balm can do so much good in such a short amount of time. It’s never too late to introduce a new product into your routine. Especially when it contains such beneficial ingredients. Here’s a little more on those unique ingredients:
* Mangosteen – Containing natural antibacterial properties, this super-fruit helps clear and prevent acne as it cleanses the skin of environmental toxins and debris. It is also rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties to promote healing and repair of skin cells and prevent free-radical damage.
* Elderberry Fruit Juice – Holds extremely high levels of bioflavonoids to enhance the skin’s immune function as well as provide antioxidant protection. It also plays the role of a natural detoxifier, helping to defend the skin against environmental stressors that can cause wrinkles and age spots.
* Avocado Oil – A powerful dose of protein and fatty acids to heal and regenerate the skin back to a healthy, youthful state. Who doesn’t love avocado?
I’ve been using this product every night. Simply apply to damp hands and massage into your face using your fingertips. Rinse thoroughly with warm water or with a towel.
