Nick Chavez Beverly Hills - An Inspirational Story
Nick Chavez makes a mean hairspray. He also makes an awesome product called Flocker. You can read my past review here.
Nick Chavez
I recently read a great article on Nick Chavez. It is really inspirational about how he started out working as a ranch hand when he was young to make money for his family. He groomed horses and after he realized he had talent, moved on to cutting his family members' hair. Then he moved to California with only a pair of scissors in his hands and soon became a top stylist in Bevery Hills. It is amazing what hard work and determination can do. Now he owns one of the top salons in Beverly Hills and has his own line of hair products at Ulta and on QVC! I was really excited to learn that he was from Arizona (like me).
I always tell my sons that they can be anything they want to be, start their own business or invent a product someday. It's nice to read a story such as this one and know that it really is true.

The Uniform Project
Okay - This is an article you have to read. I found this on a blog about scarves. This woman wears the same dress everyday and changes it up a bit. She is doing it for charity. What a brilliant idea!

Gold Bond Ultimate Hand Sanitizer Review
I got mine at Target for $3.99 and I promise it was worth every penny. They have it at CVS for $4.99 and at Walmart for $3.97. No, I did not price check, I just shop a lot! I am hoping CVS has a bonus bucks program soon for this brand so I can stock up.
They also have a large pump for $9.99 that would be a perfect gift for any teacher or new parent. I am going to buy one for my son's classroom this week.
It dispenses easily, is not greasy, and smells great. Moody Maria is giving this a thumbs up!
Kills 99.99% of germs
7 Hydrating moisturizers plus 5 essential vitamins
Non-Drying/Alcohol Free/Fresh Clean Scent
Effective germ kill: kills 99.99% of common germs in as little as 15 seconds
Intensive moisturization: Unlike alcohol, which can strip the skin of essential misture, this alcohol-free formula actually replenishes with 7 hydrating moisturizers.
Living Proof Thickening Cream Review
Living Proof really lives up to it's name. I recently tried their Full Thickening Cream. This new lighweight formula actually gives your hair a natural fullness, without leaving it brittle or stiff as most products do to your hair.
This is how to use it: Wash and comb your hair. Dispense a nickel-sized amount of Full and rub it through your hands. Spread it evenly through your hair (avoiding the roots). Make sure to work it down to the ends of your hair with your fingers or a comb. If you hair is really long, use a little extra. You may have to experiment a few times to get the right amount.
Blow-dry and style your hair as you normally would. It is recommended that you use a round brush and dry your hair in sections. (see their website for more instructions)
This product can also be used in conjunction with Living Proof's No Frizz. You can learn more about how to use their products on the Facebook fan page too! I enjoyed reading the posts and learning tips.
Your hair will feel soft and full but it is noted that as the day goes on, your hair will be softer and have a great feel. After using Full, my hair lasted 2 days! By the third day, my hair felt soft and full but I decided to wash it and start all over. I used a little too much the second time, but practice makes perfect and now I know the right amount that works for me.
Here are the results of my hair:
I followed the instructions and finished up by using velcro rollers for 5 minutes, flat ironing my ends, adding a very small amount of anti-frizz serum, and using a touch of hairspray. The fullness in my hair lasted for 2.5 days! I really didn't spend that much time on my hair and considering that I didn't have to style it the next day, I was thrilled.
I really look forward to trying out their other products. You can view them all or buy them at Sephora, QVC, and Livingproof.com.

Skin Actives Dream Cream Review
The winter air can be dry, right? Hands are itchy, legs are itchy and nothing seems to help. Along comes Dream Cream from Skin Actives. This stuff is amazing.
I read about this cream on the Skin Actives website. The container is $30 so I was a little hesitant. After my satisfaction with other products, my curiosity got the best of me and I purchased it. I was so excited to use it.
After I received it in the mail and opened it, it really did look like a jar of whipped frosting. It is airy and light. The scent is subtle and great for both men and women. I used just a bit on my hands. It was heavenly. I brought it to work the next day for my girlfriends to try it out. I used a plastic spoon to prevent the spread of germs. Everyone who used it loved it and wanted to know where they could buy some.
I have even convinced my husband to dab a little on his hands each night. A little goes a long way! I have been using this cream for over a month and more than half the jar is still there. The price is just about right considering how thick the cream is and how long it lasts.
Did I mention that Skin Actives sells empty jars in 0.5 oz? You can purchase the big jar and divide it up for friends. What a great gift for a teacher, a grandmother, or a friend?
According to the Skin Active's website: This dream cream contains SAS antiOx booster with the best lycopene, lutein and more (see below), the antioxidant benefits of cumin (in tetrahydrocurcuminoids), complete nutrition provided by sea kelp bioferment and coconut endosperm, plus the emolliency of shea butter and the essential fatty acids of rosehip oil.
Buy yours today at: http://www.skinactives.com/product/detail.aspx?prodID=173 You will not regret it!
The name is so appropriate.
It looks like frosting, doesn't it?
