Get shiny and smooth hair with Marrakesh!

My hair has always been caught in the middle of being considered curly and wavy, it also usually has a bit of frizz to it so I like using Anti-frizz products to help manage my hair. I've worked with the  brand Earthly Body to review a few of the product lines they have under their company, one of those product lines is called Marrakesh which is a hair product line. I was pretty excited to try out this line and that is for great reason, all of their products are pretty spectacular. 


For my review I was sent the Fine hair collection which is a shampoo, a conditioner, oil light,and a leave in treatment, Marrakesh X which is a detangler/leave-in conditioner in the scent High Tide, Endz, and Mod. The scents they select for their products are enchanting, If I could own one of each product in every scent they have I would! Some hair care products have a nice scent that fades away quickly, the scents that Marrakesh uses stick around for a while so you'll notice the nice scent during the day. All of their products are gender friendly. All of their products are made with Argan oil and Hemp seed to help strengthen and improve your hair.




Marrakesh X 4oz in the scent High Tide (Retail $13.99) & Marrakesh X 4oz in scent Light Breeze- I use this for both my daughter and I. Not only does this help fight frizz but it also detangles your hair and helps prevent damage from heat while using your curling/flat irons. Sometimes the product doesn't want to spritz out properly so I have to shake the bottle, otherwise we completely love this. We both really enjoy the scents, our favorite is High Tide. My daughter has always had a lot of tangles in her hair, when she was younger she hated getting her hair brushed because it hurt, however this really helps manage the knots and keep her hair looking shiny and smooth.

Marrakesh Mod 4oz in the original scent (Retail $16.99) - Mod is a styling product meant to help give your hair body/texture while holding the style you put your hair into. I generally wear a pony tail when I am at work, it is easy and it stays out of my face while I am working, after I put it up I like to use a little of this to hold my hair into place, managing my frizz. The scent of this is nice and light, and the product itself is light weight as well. You won't have any issues with crunchy hair while using this (It is gross when hair gels do that!).




Marrakesh Endz 4oz in the original scent (Retail $17.99) - If you experience a lot of split ends and have damaged hair from dye products this is a great product for you. This formula is made to help mend split ends, control frizz/static, and help strengthen you hair. I like mixing a little bit of this and the Mod to put onto the lower half of my hair and on my ends. My hair feels soft and smooth after using this product, I love how my hair looks when after I straighten it when I am using these products. I cut my hair a little not too long ago, and so far I haven't had a ton of split ends come back which is nice. 

Marrakesh Oil Light 2oz in the scent light breeze (Retail $22.99) - To be honest I haven't used this one as much, not because it doesn't do a good job but because the Endz/Mod combo I use works really well so I don't want to overload my hair with too many products at once. This product was created to help add shine and texture to your hair without weighing it down and it works well with fine hair. The scent is lovely and the product formula really is light and absorbs quickly into your hair. 


Marrakesh hydrate shampoo + conditioner for fine hair 12oz in the scent Light Breeze (Retail $13.99 each) - They do sell other shampoos and conditioners in other scents, however this one is specially formulated for fine hair. The bottle is only 12oz, but it lasts for a surprisingly long time because you don't need a ton of the products in order to get the desired wash you are wanting. The scent is relaxing and calming while you are in the shower, and your hair will be left feeling clean and soft after using this. 

What are some of the hair concerns you'd like to find a product for? And what is your current favorite product?

Along with the products mentioned above they have a ton of other fantastic products including shaving products and a few skincare items as well.

Snaptiles allow you to redecorate in an instant! Review + Giveaway


I am one of those people who loves hanging up a bunch of family photos around the house, I use both frames and canvas prints but I recently found out I was really missing out not knowing about Snaptiles. Some people who rent don't like hanging up a bunch of art work or photo frames because nails can leave a lot of little holes in the wall, with Snaptiles you have one main support photo (depending on the number of tiles you purchase) that gets mounted to the wall which is done with thumb tacks and command strips. You can purchase four tiles for $49 at the moment with free shipping! (normally $59) if you'd like additional tiles they are $9 each.

So if the tiles only need one tile that is actually stuck to the wall, how do the rest of the photos stay up? Each one is magnetic and it holds onto the photo next to it. 


Each tile is 8x8 and are about 2" thick, I received ten tiles so the box that was shipped to me was a pretty decent size. I was a little shocked when I picked up the box and found how light weight it was, each tile is well made and built to last while also being light weight to allow the magnetic supports to work. 


One of the biggest highlights of these is that you can re-arrange them into various shapes and swap out where you'd like each photo placed any time you'd like. If you aren't sure on a shape design you'd like, they have a few examples on their website including a heart and a peace sign. I will be adding a short clip to my Instagram page of how easily these pop together. 



The shipping on these was pretty quick and every print looks amazing. While you are checking out you are able to pick a boarder for your frames, they can be mirrored or a solid color can be added. I have mine mirrored although thinking about it I probably should have gone with a solid black for the outside. It took us less than five minutes to get the main tile set up and get everything up on the wall, I love how everything turned out and I will be getting more in the future.

PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky winner is going to win a pack of FOUR Snaptiles.

Reviewing Decals from Chrisanne's Life + A Giveaway!


Car decals are a great way to show off the love you have for your favorite TV shows, Characters, and more. I had a few Disney themed stickers on my car, and a sticker of one of my favorite bands. I don't want to over load my back window with decals but I wanted to add one or two more to the mix, which is when I found Chrisanne's Life on Etsy. She creates a number of fantastic decals ranging from bats and spooky things to cute and cuddly Disney, she offers solid colors but she also specializes in holographic decals that sparkle in the sun. I received the chance to work with her and I will be sharing my review on her decals along with hosting a giveaway for two separate sets of decals! 


I was sent a assortment of decals in various sizes and colors to check out. The decals I received were a surprise to me, I had provided info on a few of my favorites from her shop and she put together the bundle you see above. The decals range in price from $3.49 for a small decal size up to $16+ for giant decals that are almost a foot in height. Everything was packaged perfectly to help prevent any bends while shipping, it also included instructions and a discount code for a future purchase. The decals feel well made, I've had decals in the past that were too thin and within a month the sun had completely ruined them, I don't believe I'll have that issue with these. 


You will want to clean and prep the area you will be adding the decal to, and you will want to grab a "transfer" tool, I find that a game card or credit card works best. After prepping your area you will want to slowly peel the back of the decal sticker off, I don't suggest removing it quickly because you never know what might happen. When I applied the bats decal, two of the bats had stuck to the white backing, however because I had removed the back slowly it was easy just to lay it back down, use my game card to rub the two that needed to stick better and then remove the backing completely with all of my bats intact. 

Once the decal is placed where you want it you can gently use the game card/credit card to smooth out the decal, removing any air bubbles you may have under the decal and it helps it stick to the new surface releasing it off of the applicator sheet. 



I haven't used all of the decals yet, I think I am going to add the Disney heartbeat decal to my laptop. The decals I have used look amazing, the moon has a range of gorgeous colors that really pop and also make Groot look very dirty. Oogie Boogie changes to different shades of green depending on the lighting, and the bats also change colors from silver to purple under the right lights. I love how easy these decals were to apply and the end results. 


These decals would make a nice addition to any holiday or birthday gift, I know a few people who would love several of the decals she sells. Disney and Spooky not your thing? No need to worry she has dozens of other designs that range from football teams to Zodiac signs so there is something for everyone. You've seen my decals, now are you ready to see the two giveaway packs? 

If you want to purchase additional decals from her shop use code MOON10 to receive 10% off your purchase, your purchase will help support a small family owned business. 

PRIZE ALERT:
There will be two lucky winners who will each receive a prize pack, there will be one winner for each of the following prize packs.

Prize Pack 1: Disney


Prize Pack 2: Hocus Pocus
