A Few Seconds of Awesome: Sandra Bullock as a Chola


You're welcome.

Stocking Stuffers: Terax



Want to give the gift of glistening hair? Speaking as a fellow beauty junkie, I know I'd like to receive it, thank you very much! Original Crema Ultra Moisturizing Conditioner is a powerful conditioner than can help repair dry, distressed hair. It alters the pH of your hair, which opens the cuticle to allow moisture into the hairshaft. The results are soft, smooth, and silky hair.

This luxurious conditioner scented with rice flower, shea, bergamot and juniper is the ultimate way to revitalize stressed winter tresses.

Available in a portable 2 oz tube, 6.7 oz tube, or 16.9 pump bottle at Sephora.com or Ulta.com.

Pantene Pro-V Beautiful Lengths Conditioner Voted One of the Best Products of All Time by Marie Claire



Marie Claire, one of my monthly reads, voted Pantene Pro-V Beautiful Lengths Hair Conditioner one of the Best Products of All Time.

That's pretty high praise, don't you think?

They went on to say that it was considered one of the "industry classics," and “by detangling and preventing breakage, this lightweight hydrator helps hair grow longer and stronger.”

Have you ever tried Pantene Pro-V Beautiful Lengths Hair Conditioner? Would you agree with their assessment, or are they way off base?

You don't have to tell me about it - it's not even Thanksgiving yet, and I'm already starting to feel it! Organizing dinners, planning a holiday party, putting up the lights, and don't forget the holiday cards.
