Product Review - Focus Hair Building Fibers






"A New Generation of Hair Building Fiber

  New Focus Hair Building Fibers is a unique complex of pure keratin protein. Charged with static electricity, these microscopic fibers blend and bond securely with existing hair to produce dramatic density and volume and provide undetectable all-day coverage to thinning and balding areas.

  Completely natural, safe and effective, Focus Hair Fibers will not fade, even under direct sunlight. Focus is compatible with all hair loss treatments and safe to use after hair transplants. Focus fibers can withstand rain, wind and sweat, and yet can be washed out easily with any shampoo. When your clients apply Focus to their scalp, they will see their thinning areas vanish before their eyes" Focus Website (Nov. 2013). 




The Review 


First...a note: I tried this on my daughters hair, since mine was too dark for the BLONDE color (I chose this color thinking it would be the closest match). The BLONDE powder is in fact too light for my daughters hair as well, and therefor the sample on her hair does not match at all. So, please keep that in mind as you read further....



*Click pictures to enlarge*




The container is small, but the powder is SUPER fine...so this jar of 0.63 fl oz. will last ...forever. The Focus website posts this as its 52 day supply.



The 'fiber' is a super fine powder, weighing nothing...and could be blown off easily. The BLONDE shown here is super blonde...not just a regular blonde, but more of a light blonde/bleached blonde. 

Application process is super easy - shake it on, rub your fingers through your hair, or 'pat down' and poof...done. 


  

Obviously there is a color difference - which is my fault. As you can see, however -- the Focus Fibers do exactly as they promise! Filling in the gap at the hairs natural part, and even though it's a bit yellow (again, my fault), the part is less visible and the fibers have 'filled in' the gap!

Here's another picture of how the fibers 'cling' to hair....I thought it was kinda awesome!

Festive Christmas Nails....too soon?

Yes, it is too soon to bust out the ugly Christmas sweaters and snowman earrings...but, I found it today and I have to share it now - or I will forget. I just think this is cute, it helps that there's a pound of glitter involved.

All Over You - Live


So...here's Live...live. And Gah, this song so rocks. 




Our love is like water
Pinned down and abused for being strange
Our love is no other than me alone, for me all day
Our love is like water, pinned down and abused, hey

All over you, all over me
The sun, the fields, the sky
I've often tried to hold
The sea, the sun, the fields, the tide

Pay me now, lay me down

Oh, yeah

Our love is like water
Pinned down and abused for being strange
Our love is no other, than me alone, for me all day
Our love is like angels, pinned down and abused, hey

All over you, all over me
The sun, the fields, the sky
I've often tried to hold
The sea, the sun, the fields, the tide

Pay me now, lay me down
Pay me now, pay me now
Lay me down, lay me down, lay me down

All over you, all over me
All over you, all over me, yeah

Pay me now, lay me down, down
Pay me now, pay me now
Lay me down, lay me down, lay


Our love is like water
Pinned down and abused for being strange
Our love is no other
Than me alone, hey, hey, hey

Pay me now, lay me down, down
Pay me now, pay me now

Pearl Jam Live: Better Man

Product Review: Bella Sun Luci Sun Dried Tomatoes






Bella Sun Luci Sun Dried Tomatoes


Bruschetta recipe at the end of this post! 

For review are two varieties of Sun Dried Tomatoes (in jars) from Bella Sun Luci @ Moody Farms. On the left in the photo above: Sun Dried Julienne-Cut Tomatoes in Olive Oil and Fine Herbs, and on the right:  Bruschetta with Italian Basil Sun Dried Tomatoes and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. 



So, I (with the aid of three overly enthusiastic kids) made up a bruschetta recipe (which I have included below). It turned out really good! My youngest (age 9) didn't want to try the sun dried tomatoes at first, claiming they are 'yucky'. He not only ate his portion, but wanted more! 

And...the recipe! 


Simple Cheese Bruschetta

French Bread, sliced. 
Parsley (or any fresh herb, chopped).
Provolone Cheese, sliced into strips.
Ricotta Cheese.
Olive Oil. 
Parmesan Cheese (optional). 

Directions. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place sliced bread on baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil LIGHTLY! Spread ricotta cheese on each slice (thicker or thinner layer, depending on taste). For the version above I added about a teaspoon of the Bruschetta with Italian Basil Sun Dried Tomatoes, then a layer of provolone. On top, parsley and the Julienne Sun Dried Tomatoes on top. I also added Parmesan cheese on top! Bake until cheese is melted (about 10 minutes). 

Note: Because both of these versions of Sun Dried tomatoes are in olive oil--adding more olive oil to the bread may make it too oily! Beware!
