Raw Shea Butter Review & Giveaway


Beauty By Shea's Raw Shea Butter




I got the opportunity to try Beauty By Shea's pure raw organic Shea Butter. I love natural products and you can do so much with this one; it is a natural moisturizer and powerful healing agent. You can use this in your hair and on your skin just put a small amount in the palm of your hands, rub them together to soften and melt than apply it to your skin and or hair. A little goes a long way with this product so start with a little and add more if needed. Shea butter is also an amazing ingredient for DYI beauty products you can make soap, lotion bars, hair mask, lip balms, whipped body butter, deodorant, bath melts, sugar & salt scrubs and so much more you can find recipes on my Pinterest HERE

I have eczema and it gets really bad in the summer so when I received this I used it on my elbows, knees and other places I have dry, cracked red spots from my eczema. Eczema can be painful, it burns and itches and its not pretty to look at either when I applied this I had immediate relief the burning and itching went away and it smoothed out my dry cracked skin.

Before
After
using Shea butter.





As you can see in the pictures my skin is much smoother and it hydrated my skin it is still red but that usually takes a few days to go away.

I also used this in my hair, I applied it to my hair as a mask and let it set for about 45 minutes and washed it out. My hair looked amazing, it was soft, shiny and looked much healthier. I plan on doing some more DYI's with this product especially the deodorant. Most of the deodorant we buy at the store contains ingredients that are known to cause cancer so I usually by organic deodorant online, but now I can save money and make my own.

ARM & HAMMER CLUMP & SEAL CAT LITTER REVIEW

ARM & HAMMER CLUMP & SEAL CAT LITTER


I picked up a box of this a little over a week ago and so far my house is odor free. I have two cats one is about 2 years old the other is a few weeks old they both have their own box and I have been using thins for both of them. My older cat is picky about clumping litter and she has been using this with no problems which is always a good thing because I don't like finding her little presents. I have not had any issues with my kitten either, they both seem to like it and my family and I do as well. I had friends over the other day and they said they couldn't tell I even had cats, They said a lot of houses they go to you can tell right away that they have cats because of the smell. I was more than happy to hear my house didn't smell like cats or litter, so I will definitely continue to use this cat litter.

APPLE PIE TACOS

Apple Pie Tacos


These Apple Pie Tacos are delicious and easy to make.
You will need the following: Frying Pan, Tongs and Oil
Small Tortilla Shells (or use cookie cutter on larger shells)
Cinnamon and Sugar mixture for dusting
 Homemade Apple Pie Filling or Canned Filling
Caramel and vanilla ice cream (optional) 
Heat oil over med heat using tongs place one half of 
tortilla in oil for about 5 seconds turn over and fold
it in half and continue holding it that way while it cooks for another 5 seconds flip tortilla over and cook other side until brown and crispy.When I use to work at a fast food place when I was younger we would just take the shell fold it and hold it in the deep fryer with tongs until it started to keep shape and then just drop it in for a few seconds so if you have a deep fryer you can cook it that way as well just make sure to be careful and allow to cool before you fill it.
