June 2006 HITS/MISSES

[MizaniMami]

Mizani,
I take Omega-3 w/ Flaxseed Oil( by Andrew Lessman) and it has peppermint and spearmint in it so that you can't taste the fishy taste. I buy it from HSN. If you don't want to purchase it maybe you should try putting a few drops of peppermint oil in what you already have to see if that works.

Thank you for those wonderful suggestions. I think I will take a look into the Andrew Lessman pills. No more flaxseed for me.

Sareca, those fishy burps ain't no punk lol!

I started to taste flaxseed oil every time I sipped out of my water bottle. The thought makes me nauseous.

Co Bigelow Protein Shampoo-Hit! Got it from Bath and Bodyworks and I'm loving it.

 

[Spidergul]

Flaxseed oil is nasty. When I finished the bottle, I switched to Fish oil capsules (the kind that don't cause fish burbs). But I'll probably be going back to flaxseed oil 'cause it did wonders for my menstral cycle.

 

[aminata]

Hits:

Conair 1" curling iron with "satin touch"--this is one of the best cheapie curling irons I've used in a long time. It has 30 different temperature settings and no snags. Works great at a medium heat setting.

[BabyImaStarr]

How are you using this? I bought this as a moisturizer for my straight flat ironed hair.

How does it do on your hair?

Which one?

 

[MizaniMami]

Which one?

My bad girl! I was talking about the Dove mist.

 

[BabyImaStarr]

My bad girl! I was talking about the Dove mist.

I don't even know why I purchased it, but since I have it I use it as a leave in on wet hair. I was using and loving my NTM Silk Touch leave-in, but I lost it and the closest thing to me while I was doing my hair was the Dove Mist. So far so good. I have been using it for the past 3 weeks with good results. I think that if I put it on my hair after I flat ironed it I would have a hair full of frizz. How has it been working out for you?

I haven't tried it yet. I was waiting to try it on my straight hair. But I think I may take it back to the store.
