Garnier Whole Blends Shampoo & Conditioner Sample Review

 Hi hi!  Today I'm reviewing Garnier Whole Blends Shampoo & Conditioner in three different formulas.  Repairing, Hydrating, and Smoothing.

Let me first just say that I was super hyped about this new line because I had done a survey about them before I was offered to try them for free.  So, I was definitely super happy when I was accepted to try them.

Repairing Shampoo & Conditioner

I really liked this set.  You can definitely smell the honey in it.  The shampoo lathered really nicely.  I love when shampoos get a nice lather and this one definitely does.  The conditioner was equally as nice.  It rinsed out really well.  I tried this set first because I have recently dyed my hair (review coming soon) and even though my hair didn't feel damaged, I'm sure it still needed some repairing.  

Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner

Hands down, favorite of the three samples I tried.  That doesn't mean the other two aren't worth it but this has coconut water in it and I'm a sucker for anything with coconut.  lol  It also has vanilla milk extracts in it and you can smell both of them.  The coconut a bit more and it's absolutely lovely.  It reminds me of summer.  This shampoo lathered just as good as the Repairing shampoo did.  Love that.  The conditioner rinsed it out nicely as well.  It does a good job at hydrating your hair.  My hair is so soft.  Definitely recommend this one.  :)

Smoothing Shampoo & Conditioner

Finally, Smoothing set.  I don't know if it's because I don't generally have frizzy hair but I didn't really care for this set.  I would not buy it.  It does smell amazing though as it has coconut oil & coconut butter extracts in it.  The shampoo did not have as nice of a lather as the other two which I did not like.  As I said before, I love a good lather.  The conditioner rinsed nicely though.  It did make my hair look nice and it was very soft.  It just wasn't for me.  

Okay, there ya go.  Three sets of shampoo & conditioner from Garnier Whole Blends line.  Make sure to pick them up when you see them in stores.  :)

As always, even though I did get these for free from Crowdtap, my reviews are 100% my own.  Thank you for reading.  ♥  

Needs vs. Wants

Hello!  Today I want to write about a super important topic:  Needs vs. Wants, especially when it comes to stuff.  Material stuff.

There's so many things I want to buy but I don't really need.  For example, my TV.  It works perfectly but it's old.  Real old.  Really, really old.  Like, non-flat screen old.  It's one of those old-school CRT TVs that need at least three people to carry it.  It's huge, bulky, and just not what I want.  But, do I need a new one?  No, not yet anyways.  One thing I love about it is that the sound sounds amazing.  Some of those flat screen TVs sound tinny and horrible and then of course, you have to buy a sound bar, which is just an extra cost so ugh!!

Another thing I want is a new computer chair.  The one I have now has been torn to shreds by my lovely cats.  -_-  The arms are falling apart and I have to sit on a pillow because the cushioning is pretty much gone.  But, do I need a new one?  Once again, no, not yet anyways.  Once my back starts hurting though, it's outta here.

There are so many more things I want but don't actually really need...just yet.  You get the point though.

One thing I want and need though is a house that is not in the country.  I've bitched about the countryside enough so I don't want to sound like a broken record but if you read this blog, you know how I feel about miles and miles of grass and nothing.  Anyways, I'm trying to save for a house but if I keep buying things I want but don't necessarily need, I'm that much further from getting that house.  Also, I have more stuff to move then.  -_-  No thank you.

So, if there's something you really want and need to do like buy a house, go to college, get a car or anything big, try to hold on to the things you already have.  Yes, a flat-screen TV, new comfy computer chair and all are nice but if they are still in working/usable condition, keep using the heck out of it until you can't anymore.  Ask yourself ~ Do I need this OR do I want this?  If it's the latter, save your dollars for something big.  You'll feel better about yourself in the long run.  :)

Hi Hi!

Hello everyone!  I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year or whatever holiday you celebrate.  :)  I had a great one.   I got everything I hoped for for Christmas.   Basically because  they brought the gift cards or handed me the credit card and said go shop.  lol  So I brought my own Christmas gifts.  lol  This was the first year though that I actually brought sensible things.  I brought a new bra, that I desperately needed, I got a bathrobe, some pajamas, a paint set, a lipstick, and a super cute kids plushie that I would never ever buy for myself.  lol

Valentine's Day has come and gone and once again, I was single.  I blame myself.  I'm just too shy to go and talk to people.  The one time I did get courage and hand my number to a guy...he never called.  :/  Oh well.  There's always next year.

I have a couple of reviews coming up.  Shampoo and hair-dye!!  Fun fun.  :)

Hopefully we all have a better 2016.  Even if you all had a great 2015, I hope 2016 is even better.  :D
