Gorilla Snot Gel Review.

Gorilla Snot Gel Review.


Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have seen so many reviews on the Gorilla Snot Gel and I didn't like the name of the product at all but saw that a lot of you liked this gel and had good things to say about the way it made your hair look and the way it holds.

This was my first time buying this particular brand and when I opened the cap I was actually glad that it was a blue colored gel, not the gel that comes out of your nose. lol. 

I smelled the gel and it had a very strong minty smell and it had the exact smell of toothpaste.  I didn't care for the fragrance at all.


It was a nice size container so what the heck, I was going to try it out and see what this gel was about.

I squeezed some out and rubbed my hands together before I put it on my hair and it was very sticky, I said: " this is not going to well." Don't like products that are overly sticky.

Put it on my hair and my hair didn't feel good but when I looked in the mirror this product worked just like the reviewers said all curls were defined and it held very well.

It made my hair look so pretty but I did see a little build up in the front of my head.  Maybe I should have dampened my hair a little before I applied it.


There were some things that I didn't like about this gel as previously stated but I am going to continue to use the rest of the Gorilla Snot Gel because I do like the way my hair looks and it only cost $2.99 and you are getting 340 grams and I think that is a lot of product for that price.

It made my hair feel hard to the touch once it dried.

I think that they should keep the gel blue but make the gel with no fragrance because it felt like I was putting toothpaste on my hair (Yuck, Yuck)!


Many retailers sell this product and you can also look online to order.

If You Are A Minority Business Do You Expect Only Minorities To Support Your Business.

Let's talk business for a minute, a lot of people think if you are a minority business owner, only minorities should patronize your business.

I think if you are of this thinking you are headed for a downhill spiral.   Walmart doesn't just cater to a certain race of people and all kinds of people shop there.

This is what makes a great business because money is coming from all communities and it is the perfect way to have a successful business.

You will continue to stifle yourself if you want to put pressure on one race to fully support your business because it isn't no one's responsibility to make your business great.  if you sell the right products, you will be able to grow in more successful markets.

Take pride in your business and treat all people fairly, don't take shortcuts because bad reviews will kill your business.

Stop shortchanging your customers and expect them to pay more for an item that they can get somewhere else cheaper.

Update your business to keep it looking new and attractive so people will continue to support your business because they will see that you take pride in it.

Example: I went to a restaurant and the workers were very rude and they served my food on chipped plates. Needless to say, I haven't been back because that is just wrong, wrong, wrong!

Be friendly and inviting when someone visits your business and you will notice that people will feel good about patronizing your place of business.

Bottom line, go to your favorite business and see what makes them popular and successful and follow suit and you will be successful as well.

Ariel Is One, Great, Laundry Detergent.

Ariel Is One, Great, Laundry Detergent.


Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen.  It is almost December and I don't know about you but I am on a budget so I can get Christmas gifts for my family.

A lot of us have to cut corners every way we can and I am a product reviewer and I love, love, love Laundry Detergents.  I try all kinds and there are many that I love and Ariel Laundry Detergent is one of them.

Ariel is made by Proctor & Gamble and they manufacture well known and great household products such as; Dawn dish detergent, Bounty paper towels, Tide laundry detergent, Crest toothpaste, Downy fabric softener and etc.

So you know, Ariel must be a great product.  I love Ariel so much because it is affordable, it only cost me $1.00 for this 250 gr bag of detergent and it is very concentrated.  Ariel smells really good, you can add fabric softener but you really don't have to.

I use half a cup to clean a full load of clothes and you can use less or more depending on whether you have hard water or not.  It can be used successfully in white, lights and dark clothes.

It cleans my clothes very well and keeps me looking good.  I find my Ariel in Family Dollar, Bravo Supermarket, CTown Supermarket and some other retailers.

I have been washing a lot of my delicate items by hand and I love the concentration of Ariel Laundry detergent and I don't have to add a lot to get the results that I need.

Finding a high-quality laundry detergent for a good price is always my goal.  Make sure that you try this detergent and let me know how you like it.

What Is Old Is New Again.

                                           What Is Old Is New Again

I saw these shoes last week and I said "Oh, No!"  These shoes were in style many years ago and I didn't think that they were attractive then.

Not going to revisit this style for me but if you love it, then you can find it at your local, trendy, clothing store.

I have seen these shoes many times at my local thrift store for literally pennies on the dollar and you can learn how to sanitize them yourself.

We don't have to go broke for these old fashions that have made a comeback.

My Nightly Hair Regimen ( Organic Root Stimulator)

My Nightly Hair Regimen (Organic Root Stimulator)

This post contains an affiliate link which means that I will 
receive a small commission if a purchase is made.

Hello, Ladies, I picked up the Organic Root Stimulator Carrot Oil because 
I remember using it a while ago and frankly, don't remember the results that I
had with this product.

My hair has been natural five or six years and my hair is very thin
due to Alopecia.  I decided a few months ago that I was going
to try once more to restore my hair.

  When I saw this Organic Root Stimulator in the Beauty Supply store I
thought that I would give this product a try again.


When I opened the jar it looked a lot like Mayonaise and it smelled
similar.  I know it is supposed to have carrot oil in there but
I didn't smell carrots at all.

I was a little put off by the smell of this product so I said to myself
" I will not waste my money and will try it anyway"  I began to use
a little of this product on my scalp and the ends of my hair nightly,
before I went to bed.

I put my hair in two braids and slept with a stocking cap on 
because I didn't want to get this product on my pillows.


Organic Root Stimulator Carrot Oil can be a bit greasy but
I have to say that I am having some success with this product.

I will not make any false claims but my hair feels very soft and I
have no tangles in my hair.  It makes the texture of my hair look
very nice.

Have not noticed yet whether my hair is getting thicker but this
carrot oil really moisturizes and conditions my hair.

If it is too greasy, you can actually lightly shampoo your hair
or apply less product to your hair.  I still do not like the fragrance
but, all in all, it is a good product.

I will keep using it till it is finished and see if my hair is thicker and whether
I am retaining length.  


You can see in this photo how moisturized my hair is and you can 
see the definition of my curls.


Go to your local Supermarket, Beauty Supply store, Walmart, or order this
product online.  It is a great product!

What I Am Using Right Now For My Eczema.

What I Am Using Right Now For My Eczema.

Last month, I showed you all a picture of my flare up and the picture is below.

My breakouts were really bad and I tried everything that I could get
my hands on.  It was dark and crusty and embarrassing. I have had
Eczema my whole life and it is really difficult to treat this disorder.

My Dermatologist showed me how to bathe and not destroy my skin
because soap and water are our enemies. My Dermatologist told me to use less soap or no soap but I have to bathe, I refused to sponge bath.

Eczema is a lifelong disorder and it can be scarring.

My doctor gave me this cream Triamcinolone Acetonide
Ointment 0.5% and it is helping a little. My rash is much
lighter and it is slowly but surely going away. 

 My doctor told me to use this cream for two weeks off and then 
use it again in two weeks.

You will see the progress made in the next photo.

It is by no means, fully cured but you can see it is working 
and I will have to be patient until it is fully cleared.

* If you have this disorder make sure you use your medicine the way
your doctor asked you to so you can get better results.
