Luv Naturals...hair and skin care

So, today I was looking on YouTube and one of my favorite YouTube personalities kim luvnaturals has created a hair care product line! I have to say I am thoroughly impressed with her. I had been watching her YouTube channel since I went natural and all of her videos really show her trying to work hard to learn, educate and help black women manage the hair that grow out of their head. It's hard out there since most products are only geared and marketed towards people with straight hair and those marketed to blacks are predominantly in chemically straightened out hair to conform to the "straight" haired market. Products that are good for and actually work for natural haired blacks is far and few between and thus I'm so amazed that luvnaturals took the opportunity to make a product line geared toward the natural black community. From the reviews I've seen off YouTube, this product smells great, has a slip factor that detangles hair and especially with the shampoo doesn't leave the hair feeling stripped or dry because of the sulfates shampoos often contain. Although the product line is $13 for each product (a steep amount for some that are on a VERY strict budget) The bottles should last at least for a couple months so the money that you do spend goes a long way. I'm very excited to try luvnaturals product line and hopefully it will give me the results everyone else is getting.

I also wanted to talk about skin care. As fall approaches and the weather chills, my face has been having some problems to say the least. During the summer I really didn't have a problem with acne but as fall came around pimples just start popping up like daisies. I have to admit I have had boyfriend stress, stress from loans, not being able to find a job, emotionally feelings, and everything that have been taking a toll on me and I feel my body is also reacting to it. I do try to eat healthy and I drink water on a regular basis, absolutely no soda and I do try to have three balanced meals but I feel that because it's getting colder my pores are shrinking because its getting cold. In the morning, when I wash my face my pored open up a little but not enough to the point where I can clean them and seal in what I need. I figured that I need to open my pores more so I can wash and clean the dirt and grim and not have anymore pimples come up. I decided that I need to put a steamy wash cloth over my face for around 5 min and then go on with my regular routine. I have tried this method today and I have to say my face does feel a lot different and cleaner, so I think I will stick with this and see how the results pan out.
