First, thank you for all the comments for our anniversary.  It was very lowkey.  We ordered Thai food and watched the hockey game. C got me a pair of Billabong boardshorts for wakeboarding and a  tank top.  He did a good job picking it out even if he went the day of, lol.

If you follow me on twitter I mentioned I was going to do aproduct review of a few items I recently tried.  Just so you know I wasn’t asked to do this review they are just things I picked up at the store that I thought you guys might like to try.

from top: Alba papaya enzyme face mask; Neutrogena Triple Moisture hair mask; Alba Hawaiian Sea Salt body scrub.

I’m not going to lie I try not to spend excessively on beauty products.  We all know that I love anything Hawaiian.  I’m a sucker for tropical smells.  While at Meijer a couple months ago I spotted Alba products but I wasn’t ready to commit to buying any.  It was $12 for the body scrub.  But last week on a whim I decided to JUST BUY IT ALREADY!  I opened it when I got home and the smell is heavenly.  It’s citrusy.  I have really dry skin and this left me feeling smooth and hydrated.  It’s not something I use every day, just once or twice a week.

Again, I’ve been wanting an exfoliating face mask because my cheeks can get flaky from dry skin.  And since I loved the body scrub so much I decided to give the Alba face mask a try.  When I put it on I was surprised that it tingled my skin.  I think it did a decent job of exfoliating my face.  I might try a different Alba kind like the pineapple one when I’m finished with this jar.

Alba also has shampoos and body washes I might try out soon.  You know when I’m finally in a  ‘dude, just buy it already’ kind of mood.

Just a sidenote, the Alba products are Hypo-allergenic, pH balanced, 100% vegetarian ingredients and are not tested on animals

Being the hair virgin I was I didn’t realize that the highlights I got would make my hair feel so dry.   I did what anyone would do, I tweeted asking for suggestions.  Rachel suggested the Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery hair mask.  OMG, it made such a difference.  I use it once a week and my hair feels almost like it did before I got highlights.  If your hair is feeling dry instead of silky try this.

If you try any of these products let me know what you think   And if you start using something new think about reviewing it, I like getting new ideas for beauty products.  There are so many to choose from it’s nice to have a starting point!
