I am a PRODUCT JUNKIE

I have a hard time not rushing out to buy something when I see a good review about a product. I used to try to stay away from blogs and forums because by the end of the day I had a list of stuff I had to get like RIGHT NOW. I've gotten a little bit better and I have a wish list where I just add products that I'm curious about and maybe at a later time buy it. Sometimes I forget about these products which is a good thing financially. A couple months ago most of my must have products were makeup. Now it seems to be hair and skincare products.

Last night, instead of going to the gym, I found my coconut oil. I had found coconut oil last week at the Vitamin Shoppe but, wasn't sure if the cooking type of coconut oil was the same oil I could use for my hair. I was told it was. I even picked the coconut oil that I did - Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil - because it listed cooking, skincare and haircare as some of its uses. Before I got to the Vitamin Shoppe I had actually stopped at Walgreens, Bed Bath & Beyond and Target looking for coconut oil. Somehow I ended up getting two mousses, Herbal Essences Totally Twisted mousse and Giovanni Natural Mousse - Air Turbo Charged, after going through those stores. I wanted to try a mousse because I wanted the hold of a gel without the stiffness and crunchiness. Giovanni mousse was definitely an impulse buy. Or a "surprise" buy. I didn't know that Giovanni made a mousse and was "surprised" to see it so I bought it.

I tried out all three products last night. I used the coconut oil all over my hair, not too much on the roots. Then I used Herbal Essences Totally Twisted mousse on the left side and Giovanni Natural mousse on the right side. There wasn't a real big difference between the two sides. I liked the results right before I went to sleep but, I'll have to see how I truly like it when I can actually get out of the house.
