What I Use: Body & Hair Care

By

 

If you’ve seen my list of face and makeup picks, I’m sure you knew there was a selection of body and hair ones to come! I am forever trying new products. It’s not just that I am looking for something new. The truth is, as you age, what you need can differ from before. I learned this is even true for your hair. Just five years ago, I didn’t need any product in my hair except in-shower conditioning.


As in my previous post, there’s a mix of inexpensive and splurges in here.

 

I do earn a small commission if you click on the links to purchase these products. Prices are set by stores and subject to change.

 


 NatureWell Firming Cheeky Cream

There is a brand you are seeing everywhere that has its own cream for “bum” cream, stomach cream, arm cream, and more. It’s too pricey for me, and I don’t have time for a different cream for every body part! I saw a few reviews for this one by NatureWell. It definitely makes my skin smoother and it’s a lot cheaper—especially at Sam’s Club.

NatureWell Rejuvenate & Tone Retinol

I love a product you can use for two things. It makes it especially good for travel. This one is loaded with retinol for face or body.

 Palmer’s Skin Therapy Oil

This oil is great for stretch marks, scars, or just when your skin is extremely dry and needs some extra moisture.

Nakery Instant Face & Body Perfecting Bronzer

I’ve never had much luck with bronzers or self tanners for my legs. This one is different. It goes on easy, doesn’t streak, and doesn’t end up on clothes. It also smooths legs and hides imperfections.

Australian Gold Instant Bronzer SPF 30

This bronzer is a lot more subtle. It just gives a hint of glow, but it comes with sun protection.

 Dr. Teal’s Body Lotion Sleep Blend

This contains everything you need for a good night’s sleep: Melatonin, Lavender, and Chamomile oils. It’s also creamy and provides plenty of moisture.

14.96 at Amazon (3 pk)

9.99 at Walmart (1 pk)


Dr. Teal’s Foaming Bath with Epsom Salt and Hemp Seed Oil

Before you put on the sleep lotion, bath or shower with this. It’s relaxing and I find it also helps with pain.

John Freida Blue Crush Conditioner

A friend of mine, who is a beautician, got me started with this. I always used purple condition when I wanted to get rid of brass in my hair. The problem is that it strips the yellow blonde when it’s really the orange I want gone. I’ve switched to an occasional blue conditioner instead.

L’ange Envie

This leave-in conditioner, which is full of nutrients and heat protectant, works great to smooth my air dry hair.

$30 at Amazon

Royal Princess Inside Passage Alaska: Preparation and Embarkation

By

Off we go! This trip was on my bucket list as Alaska was my 50 th state. I probably spent more time in the planning than I had with any cruise ever. I wanted everything to work out as well as possible and I didn’t leave anything to chance.   When you are traveling with an assisted device, no matter what your disability is, it requires additional planning. In my case I have multiple chronic illnesses. I am able to walk some, but definitely not any distance. I am currently using a motorized scooter and have ordered a custom power wheelchair. The first step in the process is to make sure that the ship you are going on is accessible. I know this seems like a given in the year 2023, but it’s not. There are boats that do not have elevators or have room entrances a wheelchair will not fit in. Next, you want to make sure you can get around where you are going. It’s alright to find you have to spend time on board and miss one or two excursions, but you don’t want to miss everything. ...

11 Things You Need to Take on Your Cruise

By

There are many different cruise lines and countless types of ships, but one thing most have in common is lack of space for your things. The closets are small and bathroom storage is often non-existent. That doesn’t mean you can’t maximize the space for you and your cabinmate(s). I’ve been on many cruises, and it’s taken me decades to get to the point where I have everything I need in my cabin. How many outfits you decide to bring and whether or not you are bringing clothing along for a formal night is a very personal decision, but the items below will definitely make your trip more comfortable and your cabin more efficient. 1.        Power Strip or Cube Cruise cabins, especially in older ships, are notorious for not having enough outlets. A power strip can be great to make sure you can plug in all of your devices. Check before you purchase   one, though. Some ships will not let you bring power strips with surge protectors. If you aren’t sure, a power cu...
