The Lady's POV on the unusual and relaxing - a list by msjazz79
Options for This Page
About this list:
This will be a combination list for those items that I might find which are unusual or relaxing. Hell they might be both depending on the item. One big thing I enjoy is being STRANGE or maybe the correct word would be UNIQUE. I like to indulge in things that might not be considered normal by other people or maybe not even by myself. They will range in a wide spectrum so I hope you enjoy.
Qualifications:
I'm strange, enough said
Mizani Hair Products
First to recommend
Description
Excellent line made for African-American Women. Certain products made for relaxed hair, while others can be used on relaxed or natural hair. My beautican has used their line of products with me for over 5 years and I even have some of their products at home to help maintain my hair between appointments (every 2 weeks).
This particular line you will mainly find at your upscale beauty salon stores. Prices range from $10 to $40. I mainly buy mine at Trade Secret or Beauty First, both national retail beauty supply stores.
The items I use are:
Comfiderm Scalp Oil 2 oz (This product is simply amazing. I remember when I used to get cornrows and my number one gripe was not being able to moisturize my scalp below the surface of where my hair was braided. This scalp eliminated that problem. Because it has a small nozzle to distribute out the oil I can pinpoint and control where and how much. Even now since I don't wear cornrows all I have to do is just take the oil and distribute on my scalp vertically across and it will get around to the rest of my scalp without a problem.)
Firm Holding Spritz 8 oz
H2O Intense Night-Time Treatment 5 oz (I use this item every other night and sometimes in morning, has a beautiful rose smell to it but its not overpowering)
Rose H2O Conditioning Hairdress 8 oz (The cream I normally use in the day but can also use at night)
Spradiance 4 oz - Glosser (Excellent shine enhancer, keeps going strong all day long)
Styling Gel ( I prefer this type of gel because it does not flake and it seems better in my opinion than the black/brown gel alternative that normaly retails for under $5, also in strength in holding up a hair style especially if I'm trying to rock a pony tail, it definitely does the job.)
Relaxers- I know my beautican also uses their relaxers on me, but I don't know which one.
Shampoos and Conditioners - Again I know my beautican uses their products but since I'm mainly asleep or close to it when she's at this part, I don't bother to ask.

Franklin Covey Meribel Binder
First to recommend
Description
Beautiful Leather Binder which comes in Classic and Compact Sizes. Soft to the touch this Binder is just the essential look for spring. It comes in three different colors, Orchard Ice, Pearl, and Bronze. When this product first caught my eye back in Feb. I knew I had to have it in the Classic size. Especially the Orchard Ice color, which is more of a metallic lilac color. Simply devine.
This Binder has a zipper closure. On the inside left side it has a zipper area to keep change, a pen holder, slots to keep credit cards, id's etc... and a slim divider area. On the right hand inside side you have another pen area more pocket areas and another divider. On the back right side there is a slip pocket that you could easily put your cell phone, keys, some index cards, or anything else that could be stored away.
Overall a BEAUTIFUL item, something for the women to show off wherever you area. Keep it stylin from the board room to the bedroom

MD Skincare Product Detail: Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel: 30 Applications
2 people recommended this item
Description
Back in Feb. of this year I decided that I really needed to get serious about my skincare and needed to add something more to the mix than what I was already using. I use the lancome line on a regular basis and I'm very pleased with it, But I felt that i was still missing something that would feel like an in-home spa experience.
So a friend of mine that I have know for at least 10 years. I mean has known me through my faze with MAC products (1998) all the way to now with Lancome informed me that she thought that MD Skincare Beta Daily Face Peel would be excellent for my skin. Especially since I was trying to deal with acne scarring.
She informed me that instead of using the Peels Daily, use the process every other week, and alternate it with another product that she recommended for my face. So to make it easier Every sunday it's a mini spa day for me in the evening when I do my face. Main thing I like is that I give my products an extended life.
Now with this product you want to first wash your face with your regular cleanser. Pat your skin dry and then apply the first step. After a minute you want to proceed with step 2. Then finally I apply my regular moisturizer cream.
Let me tell you something your face will definitely thank you. Now please keep in mind that there are 2 versions. there is the 30 applications for $75 and the 60 applications for $125.

Skin Polishing and Radiance Renewing System
First to recommend
Description
Now if you read my review on the MD Skincare Alpha Beta® Daily Face Peel, you will recall that my friend recommended two different products for me to alternate for a mini-spa experience once a week. Well this is the other product. This product is simply divine.
Just like the MD Skincare, you want to prepare your skin first with your regular cleanser. Then you want to follow up with the first step of this treatment. Step 1: Polishing Microdermabrasion Cream, this cream reminds me of an exfoliator but more concentrated so you REALLY feel the crystals as they are working over your skin. Now in the past I would use my hands but lately I have been using a facial brush and I definitely feel a difference. So in my opinion use a facial brush. Now also a quick note there is a little scooper that comes in the box for the Cream. USE IT, all you need is a little scoop for your face you DO NOT need a lot of this product to get the job done. TRUST ME!!!
Now after this step you rinse and you proceed with Step 2: Radiance Renewing Vitamin C Serum. Now beyond the nice citrus smell it definitely has a smooth texture as you put it on your face and smooth it around. Again people a little goes a long way and please make sure you SLOWLY push the serum out of the tube starting from the bottom. I started mid-way and it was coming out just a tad bit too fast. Yet I have it under control now.
Afterwards you follow with your night time cream and relax the night away.

Hot Water Pot
First to recommend
Description
I'm a Tea drinking junkie and I needed a machine that would heat up my water while I get prepared for work. 5 tempatures settings (208ºF • 194ºF • 176ºF • 140ºF • cool down). At a touch of a button it will dispense and it has an auto clean option. Also has an auto reboil and manual reboil option. Safety lock feature so you don't scald yourself.
Great item also if you want hot water for some coffee.

Color Ideal Illuminateur - Foundations by Lancome.
First to recommend
Description
This product is absolutely excellent by itself or with your favorite liquid foundation. There are three shades, for myself I personally use the BRONZE. Most of the time I don't like to wear foundation but I like to give my skin a nice "boost" or shine if you will....
If I do wear it with my foundation, called Imanance - a Tinted Moisturizer by Lancome what I will do is set my foundation first and then pump a squirt of this in my hands and put all over my face. It just gives an angelic glow that says I'm about to kick ass today and take over.
If I want to wear it without the foundation then I will mix it in with my Lancome moisturizer- Pure Focus Gel Cream and I have this nice natural glow that stays for hours without the hint of foundation.
Either way you can't go wrong. You will look simply fabulous;)
NOTE: I used to wear a product like this similar from MAC but they had discontinued...Yet I will say the Lancome formula is better because it's more concentrated as far as color and you can light certain features such as your cheek or brow areas if you wish. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.
