Just today, I added the John Frieda Curl Around Shampoo and Conditioner to my hair washing routine.

The Curl Around shampoo is a creamy formula, that creates a lot of suds, without having to use very much of the product.

I shampooed my hair twice, and then applied the Curl Around Conditioner.

After towel drying my hair, I spritzed on the John Frieda Dream Curls.

I let my hair air dry.

My hair feels soft, but not “crispy”. It also appears to have more shine.

On the bottles of the John Frieda Curl Around products, it does state that it is a “curl enhancing complex…frizz fighting…smooth curls…with lasting definition from root to tip” It also “locks in moisture for glossy salon-style spirals that resist frizz in all weather”.

These John Frieda products also state that they are “safe for color treated hair”.

I wasn’t sure if a shampoo and conditioner could enhance naturally wavy or curly hair, but with my naturally wavy hair, it does appear to encourage the waves, while providing a healthy looking, shiny hair.

I would highly recommend these products.

Since I also like the John Frieda Luminous Color Glaze, I will continue to use the glaze, after conditioning, on a bi-weekly basis.

It comes in a pretty lavender capped spray bottle. On the bottle it claims to, “transform wilted waves and curls into sexy swerves, curves, and spirals”.

I had been looking for a new curl/wave reviver. The one I had been using, was too sticky, and I didn’t like the scent.

I tried the John Frieda Dream Curls on my hair, immediately after towel drying my hair. I spritzed some on, scrunched my hair, and let it air dry.

Within a short period of time, my hair dried, and it was full of waves and loose curls. The Dream Curls product worked exceptionally well. I used a pick to loosen the waves and curls. My hair did not feel stiff, crispy, nor was it sticky. The odor of the Dream Curls, is also a light clean scent. I also like the fact that it’s alcohol free.

On the second day after using John Frieda Dream Curls, I didn’t wash my hair. I wanted to revive my wave and curls, so I spritzed a little of the Dream Curls on my dry hair and scrunched it. Although my hair wasn’t quite as “stylish” as the first day (it never is), the Dream Curls product, helped to let me reshape my style. Even though I had used this product for two days in a row, my hair did not feel heavy or “full of product”.

I would highly recommend this product for anyone who has wavy or curly hair. It gives waves and curls definition, shine, and lift.

John Frieda Dream Curls is a product marketed under their Frizz-Ease line.

I purchased a 6.7oz bottle at WalMart, for under $5.00.

Not too many products guarantee help for cracked and split feet and hands, but O’Keeffe’s Working Feet and Working Hands, does. In fact, to quote O’Keeffe’s:

O’Keeffe’s Working Hands and Working Feet Creme are the only guaranteed overnight relief for hands and feet that crack and split.

The original formula was created as a labor of love by a pharmacist for her father whose hands and feet were severely cracked and bleeding. After years of research and testing the result is a skin therapy that finally delivers relief. Thousands of testimonials from ecstatic customers confirm “the stuff really works”

O’Keeffe’s Working Feet is a thick cream. Suggested use is to apply at nighttime, when your skin’s temperature rises, resulting in increased circulation and healing.

I use both the O’Keeffe’s Working Feet, and Working Hands cream, and am very pleased with the results. It leaves your hands and feet feeling smooth, and those tough callouses, soften. These products also work great for rough, dry skin on your elbows.

O’Keeffe’s does not test their products on animals, nor do their products contain any animal byproducts.

O’Keeffe’s products can be purchased online at www.okeeffescompany.com

While on their website, take time to read the inspiring story of how this female entrepreneur started the company, and how it’s grown over the years. Also included are testimonials, and information for people with diabetes.

So…..if you need help healing those rough, dry, cracked hands elbows, and/or feet, here’s a great product.

And, as an added benefit…..these are more great products, made in the USA.

If you answered yes to any of the above questions. I have a great product for you to try.

It’s “Johnson’s Foot Soap”.

I’ve been using Johnson’s Foot Soap for many years now. It leaves my feet soft and refreshed.

I buy Johnson’s Foot Soap at my local Walmart. It is packaged in an orange and white box, and is found in the “foot care” section. Each box contains four packets, which you mix in a foot basin, with warm water. Soak your feet for 15 to 20 minutes. Use a pumice stone for those stubborn calluses.

Remember to read the warning label.

“Keep out of reach of children.” “If you have diabetes or poor circulation, consult a doctor before using this or any other product that involves immersing the feet in hot water.”

Another use for Johnson’s Foot Soap which I haven’t tried yet, is to take a “full body soak”. It clams to leave you feeling energized and relaxed.

To see what the box of Johnson’s Foot Soap looks like, go to www.johnsonsfootsoap.com

And lastly, this is another great product “Made in the USA”.
