De La Cruz FINAL REVIEW

FINAL REVIEW OF THE DE LA CRUZ 10% SULFUR OINTMENT ACNE MEDICATION
I LOVE THIS PRODUCT THIS WILL BE ADDED TO "MY FAVORITE THINGS". I ONLY EXPERIENCED MINOR CONS WHILE USING THIS PRODUCT I.E. DRYNESS, SLIGHT PEELING OF THE SKIN AND A LITTLE REDNESS. OVER ALL THE PRODUCT IS A 9/10. MY ACNE HAS ALMOST CLEARED COMPLETELY AND MY FACE IS SMOOTHER. ITS STARTING TO FEEL LIKE BEFORE I HAD MY ACNE BREAKOUT THIS PASS SUMMER. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE DEALING WITH ACNE WHO HAVENT FOUND ANY PRODUCTS TO WORK FOR THEM. THIS ACNE TREATMENT IS STRONG BUT IT REALLY WORK RIGHT DOWN TO CORE OF THE HAIR FOLICLE. I WILL BE BUYING THIS FOR NOW ON AND TELLING ANYONE WHO WOULD LISTEN ABOUT THIS PRODUCT. I'M SO GLAD I FOUND THIS PRODUCT. I'M HAPPIER WITH MY SKIN NOW THAN BEFORE OR DURING HAVING ACNE. CONFIDENT PEOPLE HAVE PROBLEMS TOO I'M SO GLAD I SOLVED MINES WITH A LITTLE JAR OF SUNSHINE FOR MY SKIN.....

The Art of Orange Salad


A simple dessert recipe for any day of the year. I've been making this recipes for a few years now and I always make it for hoildays and birthday or summer parties. I got this recipe from my great-grandmother who got it from my great-aunt who found from (you get my point). Im so glad she found this from where ever or who ever I'm simply in love with it it. My brothers, sisters, my 1 year old neice and guy friends ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS RECIPE. I don't know if it's the fruit,cool whip and marshmallow combination but men LOVE THIS STUFF. It's very simple to make I'll try to make a video of this later. Follow the recipe posted I've tried this with diffrent brands of products some are better with this dish than others so through trial and error I've found this recipe to work the best to make a great ORANGE SALAD. ENJOY!!! :)

Vlog The Acne Blues:Before using DE LA CRUZ OINTMENT ACNE MEDICATION

A VLOG of my summer acne aftermath BEFORE I use the DE LA CRUZ 10% SULFUR OINTMENT ACNE MEDICATION. I've tried a few products but they aren't working like they use to. They keep the skin clean and the oil at bay but the acne isn't really being treated. So after doing some research I came across this product on WALGREENS.COM, but it was sold out/out of stock. Later on I found this acne ointment on Amazon.com for $2.19 ($7 with s+h) I'm gonna try it for 7 days and see if there is a little change in my acne dilemma. If It does work I will continue using it and reconsider buy the 6 pack I saw foor $18 on AMAZON.COM. Based on reviews this product is supose to really help those who are massively affected by skin disorders and acne. I even learned that SULFUR type ointments were even used by the Greeks to treat skin problem centuries ago. I've tried PROACTIVE, didn't work for my skin type. I've tried AMBI soaps didn't like it and it did't work for me, but the moisturizer was great though. Store bought black soaps use to work for my skin but right now isn't and finding pure real natural black soap in my community is a little hard. Thank God for the power of the internet lol. I'm looking forward to trying this product hopefully it helps finish healing my skin and returning it to it's naturally healthy smoothness. I'll post updates during the "7 day DE LA CRUZ Acne Challenge".

Announcing curlBOX!!

Very excited about this new CURL BOX company its similar to the Shoe Dazzle like companies where you pay a monthly subscription where in return receive diffrent products of a certain kind (mail order). Being a newly transitioning natural (almost 6 months)and I tend to use only a few mostly homemade hair products this is a great idea. The monthly subscription of $25 is a great deal to try out new hair products. This company was made for the product junkie in every woman. I kinda wish I would've came up with this idea lol. I try to stay away from over buying hair products, but I'm very interested in trying out CURL BOX. I can always go to rehab when I become a product junkie or OD for having super clean hair. This is on my wish list "THINGS TO TRY"

The Art of Love:Is Monogamy Dead?


Looking at the world for what is now and for what it once was. We live in a world flooded with incurable diseases, yet everyone is "hooking up" or "smushing" with anyone and everyone like there aren't any consequences for random sex. To top everything off it's glamorized in hollywood , on covers of magazines and gossip sites. Hvae we let hollywood and the lustful side of sex blind an entire generation to what "REAL LOVE" is? I remember watching old movies as a child and thought how dreamy it was to see a man try to win a woman's affections. Back when a woman caught a man's eye with simple elegance and a smile. I enjoyed watching people just "COURT" each other. No one night stand, no drunken sex, no booty calls just simple romance. Two people just falling in love. Of course life isn't like the movies. I took a stroll through downtown Memphis and I remember seeing a lovely elderly couple. They were holding hands along the riverside starring at the river. I stopped and said to myself "I WANT THAT,THAT'S REAL LOVE". Where did the love go? I personally don't date anyone who isn't willing to be my friend first. Generation NOW should really take a page out the Casablanca era of romance. I'm all for freedom of expressing yourself, but when did being a whore (male or female) come in style or the cool thing to do. Are we over sexing society? The word "LOVE" has been over saturated with false hopes through this idea that SEX=LOVE. I dated a guy that said "If we have sex (on the first date!) we'll have the best relationship. I was speechless at how desparate he was trying, even after I repeatly stated I wanted to wait until I am married. I dumped him fast than trash at a dump. Even before I dated him I've had problems with guys and sex. It's just not a priority when love is the only factor that matters to me. Sex is a choice and I chose to wait for love and commitment that involve a union of two soulmates bound by God. That's just my choice. I just feel bad that this generation will never truely get to have something so captively beautiful as love in the older days. Seems like now love just sits on the back burner to sex. Everyone wants to "JUST DO IT", but can't even try to learn how to love properly. People are jumping in and out of relationships, divorcing left and right and treatin cheating as a norm. We have simply let these thing gradually adopt into our society. It all comes back tp personal choices in life and I chose LOVE! There's not a drug nor a exspensive bottle of alcohol that can get you higher than love can. If it means being single (Almost 2yrs and loving it :) )embrace it and try your hand at just dating until you meet "THE ONE". Just keep in mind what kind of love is your priority and simply "MAKE YOUR OWN SMART CHOICES" that will trually make your heart happy. Well as, give you the real love that everyone deserves and is entittle to in this crazy thing we call LIFE+LOVE.
