Be Like The Makers of Instagram

As much as some people complain about the over saturation of social media, we diligently create new accounts and profiles to deliver folks with a daily dose of our lives. During your time online, you've  likely seen some once  hot tools die a quick and painful death...MySpace anyone? But IG won't go down without a fight, which makes it my tech muse. Here are three ways in which you need to be like the makers of Instagram.

1- Know Your Worth

When IG first hit the scene people were clamoring to upload pics then sit back as the hearts streamed in, and then it happened, the birth of Vine. Instead of still pics we could send short videos, which some people seemed to love even more. Some believed Vine to be the death of IG, as people moved in droves to open Vine accounts. Those behind Instagram didn't seem to fear this exodus, and I believe it's because they knew the worth of their tool. They saw its potential even if others didn't. They didn't allow IG to become an afterthought. They kept the tool running with very little if any downtime. They kept pushing even when the bright lights of the shiny new kid on the block attempted to blind them, they simply  threw on shades and kept pushing.

2-Learn and Grow

Then one day IG announced its new video feature, which rivaled Vine and had people closing accounts faster than they opened them. The makers of Instagram learned what their audience liked in Vine, and while staying true to what people initially loved about  IG, they incorporated the new video feature. They learned, adapted and grew in ways that made sense for IG.

3-Never Stop Learning 

 All was good in the land of IG until Snapchat surfaced and garnered attention from a large audience. The lure of filters attracted many but the resilience of IG wouldn't allow it to be shaken. Today, IG released a new Snapchat like feature, minus filters, that has some vowing to delete their Snapchat accounts. After the Vine victory they knew it wasn't time to rest in their laurels. While we all need a moment to enjoy our accomplishments, we should never think that we have learned or grown enough. Keep believing, learning and growing. 

Now head out into the world to live well and prosper, like Instagram.

Cutex Advanced Revival Nail Polish Remover Pads

Hello

I was excited to receive the Goddess VoxBox from @Influenster, and in that box I received three individually wrapped Cutex brand pads. This @CutexNails formula claims to nurture natural nails through the flax seed and black current oils that appear towards the top of the ingredient list. This product also contains acetone and denatonium benzoate for those who care.  After seeing these packaged pads, my immediate thought was that I would no longer have to travel with a small bottle of nail polish remover because I could easily pack these little pads in my bag without worrying about any spills. I was even more excited when I learned that a single pad was supposed to remove polish from 10 nails.  So, did it work?


When it comes to nail polish I hardly ever have on a single coat, I typically apply two coats of color and one layer of top coat. Now the true test began when I opened a single Cutex pad to begin the removal process for my week old manicure.Once I unfolded the wipe I began to use one square and it did, to my surprise, remove all of the polish from one hand.

Now that I had basically used all of the surface area on the front of that wipe, I decided to use the second square of the same cloth to begin working on my second hand. Immediately, I began to wonder if I would make it through my second hand using just this single Cutex wipe. As I got closer to my last two fingers I could feel the moisture leaving the wipe. It was drying out with two fingers to go. So while it came close to completing 10 fingers, it fell short by two.

I was thinking that it would be easy enough to travel with two of the wipes to ensure proper removal. However, if I am left with only two fingers that need polish remover, I would be be wasting a new wipe each time, unless I have plans for refreshing my toes as well.  In this instance I simply doused the dry wipe with my liquid polish remover to complete my final two nails.

Final Thoughts
In the end this product did work at removing my polish, but one wipe on it's own didn't stand a chance against all ten of my fingers, but it was a formidable opponent. I can see myself buying this when I have to travel, but on a regular basis I will stick with a non acetone formula, because my already brittle nails need as much moisture as possible.

Have you tried this product, if so. what are your thoughts?

Thanks for reading.

Lancome Miracle Cushion Foundation: Demo & Full Review

Hello

Lips:
The first lipstick shade that I am seen wearing in this video is High Drama by Mac and the second shade is an Ultra Matte, Avenue by Colour Pop.
This video is a long one, but it is a full review and demo of the Lancome Cushion Foundation. I know that L'Oreal has a very similar product that is sold in drugstores, but I didn't pick that one up because I didn't see a shade that looked like it would work for me. If I'm not mistaken Lancome in owned by L'Oreal anyway so, close enough I guess.
If you've tried this foundation, please let me know your thoughts below.

What's That Smell? Schmidt vs. Tom's

Schmidt

The title of this post poses a question that I'm often asked after someone has hugged me or  come in close contact. On the occasions when I've been asked this question, people want to know what product I'm wearing as well as all of the necessary purchasing details. I purchased some hair perfumes which I hauled in a recent video, so suffice it to say that I like to smell good. Unfortunately, "what's that smell" is a question I asked myself twice this week when a less than pleasant scent assaulted my olfactory senses.

So the woman who likes to smell good offended herself, twice in one week, how does that happen? 

The Beginning 

The negative effects of aluminum in antiperspirants have always lingered in my mind during deodorant purchases, but I've continued to buy them for years. I've tried my share of natural deodorants and one after the other, they have failed me. Well four weeks ago I was determined to give natural deodorants another shot when I found the $10 jar of the Schmidt brand deodorant, sitting atop a shelf in a Ricky's NYC store.

I purchased the Bergamot and Lime scent which has a deliciously light citrus scent. I didn't even care that it wasn't packaged like traditional deodorant roll up sticks. Instead it was tightly packed into a glass jar, complete with a stick provided to assist in scooping out the product.

After scooping you're  supposed to rub the product  between your fingers to transform the crumbly substance  into a creamy paste.

I began using the product the day after I bought it, and I did so for approximately the next three weeks. It helped to keep armpit odors at bay, but another problem soon presented itself. As shown in the picture below, my armpits became discolored after three weeks and I experienced intermittent itching. Both problems were enough to cause me to put down the stick and discontinue using this natural deodorant. 

Notice my discolored pit in the picture below. Please excuse any stray hairs..lol

I've had discolored armpits in the past when I used the Oyin Handmade's deodorant, so I'm confident that in a few weeks my armpits will be back to normal.  Schmidt didn't work out for me, but I wasn't jumping off of the natural deodorant train that quickly. After all aside from the discoloration, the the odor protection  provided by Schmidt was definitely acceptable.  


Tom's

Next, I  turned my attention to the Tom's brand of natural deodorant in the apricot scent, which I scored on sale for $3 from CVS.

It smells just like a bushel of freshly cut apricots, and that my friend is where the good times end. I used it all of this week, the fourth and smelliest  week of my  natural deodorant trial. Twice this week my own armpits  caused me to question which frowzy person entered my personal space, but alas I was the armpit offender. The natural ingredients can be found below.

Although Toms boasts 24 hour protection, it couldn't even get me through an 8 hour work day. My armpits didn't become further discolored and I didn't experience any itching, but the absence of odor protection forced me to throw in the towel.
You win aluminum I'll be back in your  clutches shortly, unless someone out there has a great natural deodorant recommendation.... I'm all ears.

Black Friday, Cyber Monday Haul 2015, and WNTW 2016

Hello

Prior to Black Friday 2015, I mentioned that I wouldn't purchase many items, and I think I held true to that statement (to some degree) :-). Featured below are the items that I picked up during this special purchasing period. I have also included some of the WNTW (What's New This Week) items that I hauled outside of the Black Friday-Cyber Monday window. I picked up some items from some  new brands, as well as a few of the oldie but goodies.
Please let me know what you purchased.
I will also have a text based post, complete with pictures, later on this week detailing the  period during which I used a new natural deodorant.
Thanks for watching.
