Beautiful Hair for the Holidays! #GiftGuide2016 #GoodEarthBeauty

Beautiful hair is every woman's dream, so it's only natural that hair care products are such a popular pick for gifts over the holidays. It's easy to walk in to your local department store and pick up a boxed set, but that's so generic. Not to mention, 9 times out of 10 the products might work okay, but they're really nothing special. This holiday season, if you want to make a lady's day, I suggest shopping at Good Earth Beauty, a website that specializes in natural and organic beauty products.

I was able to try the Pumpkin Chai Shampoo and Conditioner from GEB and I am hooked!! The first thing you'll notice about these is the scent...it just shouts "happy holidays"! So perfect for the fall and winter seasons, but honestly, I love comfort smells year round, so I will happily use this in the middle of summer as well! It's not an overpowering fragrance (you know, that kind that becomes annoying after a few hours), but you will definitely be catching a whiff throughout the day. Which I absolutely love, of course. Cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg will make you feel like there's a pumpkin pie in the oven that you're smelling all day!

Now, no matter how good something smells, if it doesn't work right, it just isn't worth it. I've had some lovely-smelling hair products before that I really wanted to keep using for the fragrance, but they just didn't do the job at keeping my hair soft, frizz-free, etc. I've also noticed that many times the organic or natural hair shampoos don't really lather, and often leave my scalp feeling like it really didn't get cleaned. This is not that kind of shampoo though! A small amount (maybe nickel to quarter sized) lathers up nicely for my long hair. It rinses clean, leaving me with thoroughly washed hair, yet without that dry or stripped feeling.

The conditioner is the finishing touch to this luscious duo. Again, you don't need a lot. Even with my longer hair, I use about a quarter size squeeze. I like to let it sit for a minute or two, and then rinse. Unlike most conditioners, you don't feel it all running out when you rinse. You can actually tell that the conditioner is absorbed by your hair. I usually use a leave-in conditioner/de-frizzing product and a shine serum, but with this shampoo and conditioner I have been able to just use a dab of shine serum and my hair looks and feels better than it has in years! My hair is so moisturized, yet still bouncy, and so much less frizz! These are two products I will be buying for myself in the future. They're that good!!

Good Earth Beauty is giving away a $34.00 gift card!!

That's the cost of these two products, or pick something else out from their website!! Use it as a gift, or keep it for yourself!!

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child. Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First TV. Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age. And it works! Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life. Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words. Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing. There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along. The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish. Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer. Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child
