Deep Conditioning Treatment Aussie

I ran out of my deep conditioning treatment the other day. I was using Activate deep conditioner, which was very nice. However, I decided that I wanted to buy a new deep conditioner. Changing up your conditioner every once in a while is good for your hair. Some people say, you don’t even need a deep conditioner treatment, just change up your regular conditioner, because it is the different ingredients that your hair reacts to.

Although, I like the extra thick conditioner treatment. I feel like a deep conditioner really makes my hair healthy, soft, and bouncy. Plus, applying a deep conditioner makes me feel like I am pampering myself once a week. And it is important to take time out for yourself and your hair. And I have come to the conclusion that I do not need a expensive conditioner mask either. I have color treated hair and used to feel, before I start this beauty blog, that I needed the best mask I could afford. However, I have since learned it is all about the product's ingredients. And there are many deep conditioning treatments, with great ingredients for a great price.

I thought I would try out Aussie Deep 3 Minute Miracle original treatment. This hair product has been around for years and it has been reformulated and repackaged as well. The original treatment still gets great reviews by many people. It is often thought of as one of the top conditioner treatments. And the fact that it is only $4 is already a huge plus in my book.

I loved the smell of Aussie’s conditioner product. It was thick, but not too thick, for it did not weight down my fine hair. I applied it to the length and ends of my hair only and put a bathing cap over it while I soaped up my body for about 5 minutes. The conditioner completely washed out of my hair easily and I could comb through it with absolutely no tangles at all. And believe me my fine hair gets really tangled, so this is another huge plus! My hair was super soft all day long and it smelled divine too. I think I will stick with Aussie for awhile.

What are your favorite deep conditioning treatments? Do you buy a new product every time you run out or stick to your favorite brands?

Here’s to a happy hair day!

Blessed Balanced Life

I am trying to balance my life more. It is important to have balance in all areas of life including health, family, work, recreational, and spiritual. We must not neglect any area, but strive for balance in order to live a full happy life.

Organize Time
We all only have 24 hours in a day, but with smart time management our lives will be more balanced. Set monthly, weekly, daily, and hourly goals and stick to them. Write down your goals in a planner, which I need to do more of, instead of in my head. Writing down the to-do lists really does help keep you on track. We all have to do things we don’t want to do and may put them off. If we can conquer those things first, then we can spend more time on more important things that we do enjoy.

Roll with the punches
Sometimes life does throw us obstacles and we must flow with the rhythm of life. Some days we may only be able to concentrate on one area, and that is okay, but then quickly get back into balance on the other days. No one is perfect and we must give ourselves some slack sometimes.

Be positive
Negative self talk can be very damaging to a happy life. We should all strive to meet our goals, despite our worst critic, ourselves. Why do we say bad things about ourselves that we would never say to our friends? It has to stop. I am training my brain to think positive thoughts always. Never say, “I can’t,” because “can’t” never did anything. :)

Have a blessed balanced day!
Remember aim for progress, not perfection.

You can also make money with BluFrog energy drinks, just watch the video below for some tips for extra cash in your pocket!




I have never tried the BluFrog energy drinks, but I could use one right now. You know how the afternoons get to ya. Well, I just checked out the ingredients of the BluFrog energy drinks at their website and they are some wildly healthy energy drinks. One reason I do not drink energy drinks too often is because of all the calories and sugar. Well, BluFrog has only 68 calories and 17 grams of sugar in a 8.3fl oz. can, which is about half the amount of what is in other energy drinks! Plus, BlueFrog has lots of antioxidants, and we all know how antioxidants are great for your skin and overall well-being. I think I want to live in a Blu world right now, drinking some BluFrog please! :)

Pursuit of Happiness Gene or Joy

Having a positive happy outlook on life no matter the circumstances is important to living a full happy life. We all go through storms in our lives, especially now with the economy and all the bad news. I say stop watching the news so much, remember bad news is the only news to them.

The pursuit of happiness. We all strive to be happy in life and it is mostly our attitude. I have talked about living a positive life on Femme Façade in the past, but I think it is important to repeat. I struggle with it and there are too many depressed people out there and drugs are not always the answer, which is another thing. I think there are too many drug companies pushing their drugs to make money and making us feel that there is always something wrong with us.

I read the article, In Pursuit of a Happiness Gene, today and "Prof. Yoram Barak of Tel Aviv University's Sackler School of Medicine is engaged in the "attempt to find the happiness gene, the genetic component of happiness," which may be 50% responsible for an optimistic outlook." Can you believe there is a happiness gene!? Hmm…I think it is partly true, but I don’t know about 50%. We do get some of our personality from our parents. And how we are raised affects our attitudes, however in the end it is up to us and our choice on whether to be happy or bitter in every situation.

Choose happiness. Our thoughts are very powerful. We are made up of mostly energy. Think positive thoughts and send out good energy. Send out good vibes in order to receive good vibes back. Focus on succeeding and being happy, do not have a doubt. And don’t forget to turn to the God of peace, for His peace transcends all understanding. (Philippians 4:7)

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." (Romans 15:13)

Armani Exchange Shopping and Sweepstakes!

I have been shopping for jeans today at Armani Exchange and playing sweepstakes! They are having a sale on premium jeans for only $98! And they give you free shipping if you spend $100 or more! Take a look at the three pairs of jeans I have picked out. I like the dark wash, if you can’t tell. :) I think it makes you look slimmer and you can always wear the dark wash for a night on the town.


Here is a Boot Cut. I prefer Boot Cut over straight leg or skinny jeans because it makes your body look more proportional. And boot cut looks good on short girls that have some curves, which is me.


I thought these little Harem jeans are really cute for summer time. Of course I put a nice crisp zipper up blouse with all of them. I think the white blouse and matching white Armani purse are super cute too, but we are focusing on jeans here. Jeans.


And then look skinny jeans! I know I just contradicted myself, I don’t like skinny jeans, but these ones have a flare and I thought that don’t look that skinny. What do you all think of these jeans?


A deal Armani is offering through July 19th is a gift card of $20 dollars off a $100 purchase when you buy a pair of jeans at full price!

The best part of all is that Armani Exchange is having a sweepstakes that just started today! Throughout the month of July you can win a pair of jeans! All you have to do is text A|X: DENIM2" to ARMANI (276264). Click the text link for info and the rules. It looks like you have to receive texts from Armani 3 times this month, but that also means you get to enter up to 3 times this month! And one person wins a pair of jeans everyday of July!

Happy sweeping and happy shopping!

Happy Independence Day!

http://www.tangle.com/view_video.php?viewkey=786f0e6172e56172455c

Have a happy and safe Independence Day everyone! Thank God that our founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence on this day, so we could have freedom. Thank God for all the freedoms we have now, that many countries do not have, such as the freedom of speech, religion, and to bear arms... May we never take our freedoms for granted! Thank you to everybody who is fighting now and who has paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. Freedom is not free. And may we the people always fight to keep our rights and freedoms with the pen and the sword. God bless our soldiers and God bless America!

"Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature."
Benjamin Franklin

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
Abraham Lincoln

"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it."
Thomas Paine

"The religion which has introduced civil liberty is the religion of Christ and His apostles, which enjoins humility, piety, and benevolence; which acknowledges in every person a brother, or a sister, and a citizen with equal rights. This is genuine Christianity, and to this we owe our free Constitutions of Government."
Noah Webster

Make Yourself Exercise and Believe You Will Loose Weight

We all know how important a healthy diet and exercise routine is to our overall well-being. Exercise reduces stress and reduces fat, such great benefits, but it can be so hard to maintain. As adults we have to make ourselves exercise. Adults have to do a lot of things they do not want to do, but they do them anyway. We have to make ourselves exercise, in order to loose weight. Just think about how happy you will be when you are done exercising.

It is very sad how they are so many sedentary people in America, I am one of them. Unfortunately, America is getting fatter and fatter. Yes, jobs with the long hours do not help. Perhaps, try going to bed earlier and waking up a half hour earlier than you normally do. As Benjamin Franklin said, "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise."

Try new activities all the time, it can keep you exercising and having fun while doing it. Or you could try just working out for five minutes and then if you really are tired then stop, but odds are once you start going you will not want to stop.

Loosing weight is also a mind thing. The mind and your thoughts are very powerful. Always think positive good thoughts. You will loose weight. Keep thinking that you are doing good and are loosing weight. Aim for progress not perfection. Develop a positive thinking habit and a healthy diet and exercise habit, after all it only takes 21 days to form a habit. Humans are creatures of habit and you will succeed with these healthy habits.
