What I'm reading and using on my hair and nails

I didn't have time to post the other days. So, I thought I would just include three things in this one.



I always try to keep my nails healthy and right now I'm using Sally Hansen Instant Strength Calcium Gel Nail Fortifier ($4.99, drugstores). I like to use it during my weekly manicures to keep my nails strong.




I have naturally dry hair and sometimes I need to use a deep conditioner or special treatment. A professional hair stylist suggested I try Jingles Intensive Treatment
Reconstructor Revitalizer
($11.95 for 8oz, webbeautystore.com). I was a little reluctant because I don't always like to try new products on my hair but I thought I give it a try.

It's very rich and creamy. I left it on my hair for about 10 minutes before I rinsed it. My hair felt clean and with no waxy residue left behind. My hair felt soft and healthy. This is probably something I would use every once in a while because even though my hair is naturally dry it's quite healthy.





I normally read a couple of books at a time and right now I'm reading Emma by Jane Austen. I figure since Becoming Jane will be out Friday I thought I would reread one of the classic novels by Jane Austen. I love the book Emma because it follows the loveable busy body Emma thoughout her life and experiences. If you have some time I would reccommend reading this book. The book shown above is not the one I have, the one I have is an old hardcover edition that I couldn't find on-line to show you.

In need of Emergency care?


When you think of Sunday you think of relaxing and enjoying the day, before going to work or school on Monday. So, one Sunday I decided to give my hair a Home Spa Day with a deep conditioner.

Samy Emergency Hair Treatment ($6, drugstores) was a dream for my hair. I left it on my hair for 30 minutes and my dry hair felt really soft. I probably use this deep conditioner once or twice a month. I feel like my results are compared to what I would get from an expensive product.
