Little Acts of Kindness

Hello! This isn't my usual type of post but hey, let's try it. This week as I went to get my nails done, I noticed a young boy outside selling candy bars. There was nothing particularly unusual about this boy, but I couldn't help but notice a permanent scowl plastered across his face. He looked so unhappy for someone selling candy! I decided to purchase a bar and attribute to his cause, which he later explained was to raise funds for his church basketball team. With a smile I bought 2 bars and wished him luck, and suddenly his frown disappeared and was replaced by a look of awe, quickly followed by a "Thank you". As I started to depart to my car, I noticed he was still looking at me. I waved goodbye and kept wondering why he was so confused by my kindness. It later occurred to me that maybe he wasn't treated that way often. What seemed to me as just being polite, could have made his day. What I'm trying to say is, you never really know how the smallest gestures will affect someone. I encourage you all preform a random act of kindness while on you're weekly journeys. You never know what could happen...

Acure Organics Lemongrass+Argan Stem Cell Conditioner Review ~MackCapp~

Hello Readers! As I promised, this is the review for the Acure Organics Lemongrass+Argan Stem Cell Conditioner. Because that name is CrAzY long, I'll just refer to it as their Lemongrass Conditioner. In my last haul, I mentioned how good this stuff smells. And I am serious when I say I could smell this forever. I LOVE the smell of lemongrass. It all started with Chagrin Valley Soap's Sea Salt & Seaweed Spa Bar. But that's a review for another time. Moving on....

 The packaging is a 8oz tube that despenses the product through a flip top. Not my favorite packaging, but they do have a bigger size that comes in a bottle. However my Whole Foods does not carry this size.

 Look at all those words I love to hear...or read...moving on.

 Would you look at that. Keratin Boosting Complex. Yup, I totally know what that means...

 Dem Fair Trade Ingredients tho. (I promise I know the correct grammar.)

 I love the little message that says "Feel free to belt out some horrible 80s tune that you listen to when nobody's around." Who doesn't love a company with a funny bone?

Okay, so to be honest, the first time I used this product, I kinda wanted to chuck it out the window. It didn't detangle squat, and my hair just kinda absorbed it. Quite remanisant of Aubrey Organics Swimmer Conditioner. Not an experience I wanted to try again. I was going to return it, but I tried it again because I was being nice. I'm semi-happy I did. Because I was trying to use the product out, I used a HUUUUUUUUUUUGE amount (emphasis on the huge). It was great when I applied it in sections in enormous globs. To my surprise, my hair started to detangle. Wee bits and pieces of tangles disappeared. Now, I'm not talking Herbal Essences Hello Hydration detangling, because that is totally not what this is. It helps with tangles. That's it. You still have to physically get a wide tooth comb, and starting at your ends, gently rake through them. For me, ain't nobody got time fo dat. I really loved the smell and I still love this company, but I think I'm going to try their line for dry hair with Argan oil. And thus, the conditioner quest continued. Have you tried this conditioner?
