Review: L'Oreal Paris Hair Expertise Extraordinary Oil

Hey everyone,
So after a good amount of time trying out the products from the L'Oreal Paris Hair Expertise Extraordinary Oil, I thought I'd give my official, final review.
I'll start off by saying this: If you have dry and dull hair and you've struggled finding a product that actually works and makes a difference, you should definitely give this line a try. I've been so impressed with these, and they actually work from the first use, which is amazing.

My opinion has changed a bit from my first impression of these products. While I still think they work really well, I have noticed a few things that aren't so great.

Pros:

It does what it says it does. My hair is softer, shinier and so much more hydrated than before I used these products.
It smells incredible. I seriously love how this range of product smells. And it's a long lasting scent as well, so my hair always smells great, even if my hair isn't freshly washed.
The price. After seeing how well these products, I checked them out at the drugstore, expecting them to be a bit pricier, considering the ingredients and the fact that it really does work amazingly (better than some of the salon-quality more expensive products I've used). However it's actually super affordable too! (I believe the shampoo and conditioner were around $5-6 CAD) which is 100% worth it, in my opinion.

Cons:

There is a significant amount of product buildup in your hair after a while. I notice after using this after a few washes that my hair just doesn't feel as clean as it should. So I recommend using a different, cleansing shampoo about once a week just to fix that. I like to use my Lush Cynthia Sylvia Stout shampoo for that.
I also notice that my hair needs to be washed a bit more often, which I guess is understandable. Since my hair was super dry before, I could get away with not washing it for 2 or even 3 days. But now I have to wash it every second day or else it looks grossssssss.

So, overall, if you have dry hair, I definitely recommend these products. They honestly have changed my hair and I'm so happy about it.

Once again, a big thank you to Influenster and L'Oreal for kindly sending me these products for review purposes. As always, all opinions are 100% honest and my own.

The BEST and EASIEST Waffle Recipe! (Blogmas Day 9)

When it starts to get chilly out, I find myself making waffles pretty often. In fact, our Sunday breakfast usually consists of waffles of some kind. And in my house, I'm the designated waffle chef.

1 Year of Covid-19: A reflection

It feels like just yesterday we were all feeling the anxiety and uncertainty of a new disease that was spreading quickly around the world that no one truly understood yet. We were facing the first wave of cases, the fear of going outside and being around people and the first round of quarantines and restrictions. It feels like just yesterday, but also so long ago. I, and I am sure many others, am feeling a mix of emotions. Sad for the loss of comfort we once had. Grief for all the lives lost and permanently changed. Thankful for my health and that of my family. Gratitude for the scientists and frontline workers alike, working tirelessly behind the scenes I hope that one day we can return to a new normal. I hope that one day I'll be able to go to work and not feel afraid to get too close to my coworkers and patients. I hope that no one will ever again have to face the end of their lives all alone. I hope that no one has their life cut short because of an insidious virus that

Blogilates Beginner's Calendar 2.0: Review & Final Update

I've officially completed all 28 days of the Blogilates Beginner's Calendar and firstly, I have to say that I'm pretty damn proud of myself, because it was pretty difficult but I stuck with it until the end. And I had fun in the process! So, how much of a difference does this calendar really make? Does it work? Here are my final thoughts. This workout program really works, but you need to work at it too. If you're going to half ass the workouts, eat badly and skip days, you really won't see a huge difference. I really did my best to stick with it and work hard at it and I really have seen a difference. The thing about Blogilates that I enjoyed is that you won't just see a difference in your body, you'll see a difference in your mindset and motivation as well. Physically, since I began the calendar, I lost 10 pounds and I feel so much stronger than I was before. My muscles, especially my legs are so much more defined than they used to be. Cassey als
