Yes, what you are seeing is my attempt at a YouTube video. If I get one like, I will consider it a tremendous success!

For those who aren’t into YouTube, let me share the products with you below:

Elta MD – UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46 – Tinted

I’ve already shared my thoughts on this kick ass SPF here.

It’s a 10 – Shampoo, Deep Conditioner, and Oil Treatment

The shampoo and conditioner definitely did their thing, but of the three, the oil treatment is the one that I might go back for. I only had sample packets and I’d like to see what the oil can do long term!

Coppertone – Sport SPF 50

I’ve already blabbed about this here.

Olaplex – Hair Perfector No. 3

Adoration doesn’t even begin to describe my love for this treasure. If you have icky strands, I dare you to try this once. I’d bet anything that you’d see instant improvement!

Briogeo – Don’t Despair! Repair Deep Conditioning Mask

If I wasn’t in a die hard relationship with Olaplex, I’d buy this Briogeo product. It definitely saved my hair when the going got rough while traveling!

Bath & Body Works – At the Beach Shower Gel

I’m in love with the scent so I bought it in a body spray version! I know, over the top, but it takes me away to tropical places! Long story short, I have too much soap so will pass on buying this again, but I’ll keep the scent to hand!

Bumble and Bumble – Thickening Volume Shampoo and Conditioner

I couldn’t believe that anything could give my limp hair a bit of extra-ness but I gotta give it up to Bumble and Bumble! I want more of this in my life!

Herbivore – Prism Glow Potion

YES PLEASE to this! It gave me luscious glowing skin that normal people have to exercise for. I *really* want more.

Shiseido – Benefiance Wrinkle Resist 24 Night Cream

This is some good stuff that I was more than happy to use but I won’t be rushing out to repurchase.

Tatcha – The Essence

I tend to side eye the whole “toners/essences” category, but damned if this product didn’t deliver some “oomph!” Unfortunately, it’s way too expensive for me to indulge in this as a regular thing.

Ahava – Hydrating Cream Mask

I’m telling you, this is a savior for dry skin! Slap it on overnight for a couple sleeps and you’re skin will bounce back! At least it did for me!

That’s all! Please give me feedback as far as YouTube goes. Should I do more? Quit? Do you prefer blog posts? Should I fix my hair? Kick the cat out? (only kidding, I could never kick her out!)

  • The Eclectic Contrarian

    See, that’s the thing about you women folk.. if you’re ugly, you have backup.

    Men… if we’re ugly, we’re ugly.

    • Did you just call me ugly? 🤣🤣🤣

      • The Eclectic Contrarian

        Kristen, I have NEVER called you ugly!

        Now, with that said, isn’t that the point of makeup? To cover up “ugliness”, flaws and assorted blemishes? Lol

        • I was just having a laugh!

          To be fair, makeup is just as available to men and many celebrity males take advantage of it!

          • The Eclectic Contrarian

            No! No laugh! Lol!!

            It does nothing for me lol!!

          • The Eclectic Contrarian

            To be honest with you, I had a wild streak in my younger days. I wore makeup and pantyhose/tights (it’s a bit of a long story, I’ll tell if interested) Didn’t help me a bit… lol! You women are far superior at this game.

  • Oh my, so many things to say: your voice fits you so perfectly, I really have to try that Olaplex thing, I can’t find the like button and I have to like so you will do another video (is it the wordpress like? will the youtube like do?), I loooove the cat tail randomly showing up in the frame (7:34 to 7:44 was a stellar performance), I like to read your content but video suits you as well, I think either format works, and kudos because it must be hard to take that leap, and last but not least, I ended up finding the youtube like button and clicked it. I’m gonna go breathe now.

    • Thank you so much, you are awesome!

      The voice has been mocked for many years but I’ve decided to hell with it, I’m going to TALK! 🤣

      I actually find it kinda fun to film and might do it even if no one watches another film again! I actually liked figuring out the editing process!

      My cat was very needy. Her tail would go up if I stopped petting her too long. She is the ultimate diva!

      • You’re welcome! I’ll watch it! And like Beyoncé says , diva is the female version of a hustla. Your cat was werking for that petting!

  • You are braver than I am! Tell John you don’t need makeup because you wear a mask….lol
