Beauty Buzz: I’ve Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts

By |August 25th, 2011|Beauty Buzz|

Don’t get the Zazu reference? Probably need to go ahead and rent a copy of The Lion King, STAT. Anyway, while out the other day at Target (a perk of the suburban sprawl) I was picking up the necessary toiletries when I stumbled upon a packet of Palmer’s Coconut Oil Deep Conditioner. I was intrigued. Made with pure coconut milk, coconut oil, and vitamin E this little packet promised a big punch. Well, let me tell you- the best $1.69 I’ve ever spent. Seriously. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on fancy pants deep conditioning treatments and I must admit… this bargain beauty buy held its own. Not to mention, it smells absolutely delicious. Every time I flip my hair (and I do that a lot), I’m transported to an exotic island with white sandy beaches, never ending pina coladas, and men in Speedos fanning me with palm fronds… Oh, sorry… forgot where I was.

Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula Deep Conditioning Protein Pack

Coconut oil isn’t just good for you hair though. There’s a plethora of other uses for coconut oil:

  • Antibacterial
  • Antifungal
  • Emollient
  • Psoriasis relief
  • Cholesterol control
  • Weight control
  • Aids immune system
If you’re not already slathering yourself with this delicious tropical oil… well, you should be. I’ll save you a seat by the pool.

Why Did You Wear That: There’s a Time and a Place

By |July 29th, 2010|Why Did You Wear That?|

While strolling the aisles of Target picking up the essentials (toilet paper, bottled water, more SATC DVD’s, tampons, etc.), we stumbled upon this:

I mean, really? It was 7pm on a Wednesday evening. WHERE are you going?

photo_2Why? Why? WHY?

Listen, I appreciate a gal who puts pride into her appearance, but this? Just too much. There certainly is a time and place for everything. I am not, by ANY means, suggesting that homegirl should be strutting through Target with a Juicy tracksuit and Uggs (heaven forbid), but there is such a thing as overkill. Regardless of the fact that her outfit looks like a leftover from the Clueless wardrobe closet, she is totally overdressed for running errands. And no, I don’t believe she is going somewhere super fun afterwards and just had to pop into Target on the way.

Always keep in mind the place you are going and what is appropriate attire. No one wants to be the only one who jumps in the pool at a party.

All I know is that I hope she got the stock boy’s digits at least.
