Happy Birthday Rei!

Rei's birthday was last Friday! I can't believe she's two already! Alex and I were originally going to take her to the Fresno Chaffee Zoo but at the last moment decided to go to the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens.

I have to say I'm glad we decided to switch at the last moment. 

Not only was the zoo bigger but we also stopped by to visit my mom before heading home! As a bonus, my sister and nephew tagged along with us on our adventures :)

The day was fun, tiring and well, fun. We managed to only spend $150 that day and that includes gas, admission, lunch, dinner and more gas. I'm kinda proud of myself I budgeted and I stuck with it. I probably didn't save as much as I think I did but that's ok. Rei had fun, we had fun. The day was great!

My review for GARNIER FRUCTIS HYDRA RECHARGE

 The new Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge line includes a Shampoo, Conditioner and 1-Minute Moisture Treatment that leave hair weightlessly soft while hydrating for silky, smooth hair. The shampoo contains encapsulated beads of goji berry, passion fruit and kiwi super fruits to replenish moisture without weighing it down.

 I was excited as much as I was skeptical when I read about this Garnier product. A shampoo that promised weightless-ness for two days? That's quite the promise, isn't it? Well I'm here to fill you in on the results. Do these products actually make my hair as awesome as they promised? Will the goji berry scent make my hair smell weird or funky? Are you dying to find out? I know I was!

 As soon as my husband brought my package into our living room I grinned because I knew what awaited me. Aa soon as I opened tge box I went to take a shower and pamper my hair with Garnier awesomeness. So, what was the result? It. Was. Magic. From the moment you begin to lather in the shampoo you feel the difference in your hair and scalp. My hair instantly because silky and soft. And by the time I used the hair serum and conditioner, my hair had a watery consistency if that makes any sense. It was just so SOFT. Once dried and styled my hair looked pretty awesome. Almost like the girl in their ad. Best part about this is that yes, my hair silky weightless-ness really did last two days! The only hair product I used to style my hair was a waterbased hair spray so, your results may vary.

 So, would I recommend you try Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge? You bet your butt I would! Though make sure you buy all three products, the shampoo, conditioner and hair serum! Everyone deserves to have beautiful looking hair and the best part is that you wouldn't be breaking your piggy bank to achieve it!

Bleh.

I've been going through some really bad fatigue lately. I'm in a constant state of dizzying and being light headed. Ugh. I blame it on the stress. I just found that I'm going to have to take in my sister for an uncertain amount of time. ;/

Don't get me wrong I'm happy to do the right thing , it's just. .. well I don't know. I mean Alex and I are foregoing our personal life and space and it's not exactly sitting well with me. Also the thought of more people=more expenses such as the electricity, food, etc.

Plus she also has a child. I don't know her child or his mannerisms/behavior.  Not to mention how is Rei going to adjust to another child in the home.

I think I'm over thinking it.

I'm hoping that by trying to do the right thing I nor my husband get burned. I really do. For I'm just going to hope for the best, wish me luck cyberspace.

Oh! On a lighter note, I bought The Lost World by Michael Crichton for $1! That made me thrilled and sad. Thrilled because it's a brand new book for a dollar.  Very sad because it's a Crichton book in brand new conditions in the clearance rack.  :(

Rei!

Is driving me crazy!! She's becoming so damn rebellious. Especially now that she picked up the word "No." She fights me while potty training, eating, bathing. Pretty much everything!

*Sigh*

Schick Hydro Silk Review!

The Schick Hydro Silk razor is designed to go beyond a close shave - it actually cares for your skin! Each cartridge is filled with water-activated moisturizing serum that is infused with marine extracts and shea butter to hydrate for up to two hours after shaving! The 5 Curve-Sensing blades move independently from each other to deliver a smooth shave and blade guards to protect the skin from irritation. Plus, it has a contoured oval cartridge to allow for a closer shave around hard-to-reach places and an ergonomic, soft touch handle with rubber grips to provide ultimate control while shaving. Now I admit, I have always been the kind of girl who would rather save a few bucks than to buy one of these razors. My line of thinking has always been, "A razor is a razor, right? No need for me to spend those extra couple of bucks on a name brand when the dollar store sells a 12pk for 99 cents." Boy, was I wrong! Immediately while using it , you can FEEL the difference. It left my legs, smooth, soft and looking great! The five blades work with you to give you the closest shave possible without cutting you or leaving little nicks. My legs felt great! Maybe it's just me, but after shaving the first time with the Schick Hydro Silk razor, my first order of business was to put on a skirt and show off my legs. Now despite the greatness of this product I do have one complaint: the price of the refill cartridges. I went to my local Kmart to see just how much it would cost me. They were in the 15.00 range! My husband laughed at me because he said I looked like I'd seen a ghost! Don't let this deter you from trying such a great product for.yourself though! Wal-Mart has them for cheaper AND you can easily score coupons online if the price of the cartridges is too high for you. Now would I recommend this razor to anyone? Oh absolutely! Such a great, comfortable shave cannot be bought at a bargain price. This is one of those rare products were I say "Go for it! It's so worth it after you shave!
