Monday Product Review - "SENSUALITY IN A CAN" - Nutrimetics Nutri-Rich Moisturising Body Satin

When I was 18, I realised I needed to look after my skin and so I started delving into the world of skin care products.

Nutrimetics was the first skin care range I tried, I think because the local rep would drop a book on our doorstep. I also remember attending friends Nutrimetics parties and even hosting one myself. Now 18 years later, I am still taking care of my skin, however, I mostly use Dermalogica, to cleanse, tone, moisturise & exfoliate.

Over the weekend, though, after so many years, I found myself hosting another Nutrimetics party and wow have their products changed and their range has expanded. Our host Jen, was so well educated and great at selling the products, she made us want them and she was just lovely.

So I have decided to try some and review them. Today I will be reviewing Nutri-Rich Moisturising Body Satin which is a spray on body moisturiser in a can. Nicknamed "SENSUALITY IN A CAN" boy is this product sensual.

Here is my review:

NUTRIMETICS
NUTRI-RICH MOISTURISING BODY SATIN

THE TEXTURE: Light oil spray, silky & smooth, non-greasy

KEY INGREDIENTS: Apricot Kernel Oil / Vitamin E / Lime Blossom Extract

It claims to do this: Nourishes and rehydrates the skin, leaving it looking soft, silky and radiant

It actually does this: Leaves a light oil on my skin, which when massaged in leaves my skin smooth, silky and shiny

RECOMMENDATION: After a shower, spray this on your skin, it smells divine and will leave your skin smooth, silky soft and shiny. For people with dry skin, I would follow with a moisturiser.  I recommend you try it, it definitely leaves you feeling sensual.

RATING: ★★★★★

THE PRICE: 100g / $37.00 ONLINE

JUSTIN BEIBER - A new found respect

I didn't think I would ever write a blog about Justin Beiber, but whilst surfing some skimming through some videos this morning, I came across this....

I learnt so much about this young international star from this interview, with Ryan Seacrest & I had to express my admiration.

This kid is super smart, super charismatic, witty and super special.

He interviewed so well and displayed a maturity way beyond his years.

Then I heard this...

"Boyfriend", Justin Beiber's new single, he wrote this song.. WOW!

This track has a crazy beat, props to the producers and Justin Beiber owns each verse in delivery.


Boy has he grown up, in the clip he has a certain confidence.


It is very Justin Timberlake. but with Beiber's edge.

My favourite part is when he plays the guitar, the kid has major talent and an old soul.


We actually boogied down in the club to Boyfriend and I was excited to hear it. WOW! WOW! 

I actually can't wait to see what he releases next.

Peep the YING YANG REMIX of Boyfriend.  I like this version too.

UH OH! I think I've caught the BEIBER FEVER!!!!

NEW SEGMENT coming up on The Secret Life of Angel

I have a new segment coming up on The Secret Life of Angel it is called "MICROPHONE CHECK".


This segment will focus on and showcase MC's, Microphone Controllers, rappers who have got flow, both locally (Australia) and internationally. 


Look out for it very soon on.......

Monday Product Review - ABBA Pure & Gentle Conditioner

Today I will be reviewing a very good hair product for woman or men with curly hair.

I have the most unruly of hair types - tight curls. If not well maintained and managed it can go craaazzyy!

About 8 years ago, I walked into a salon and saw a girl with similar hair to mine, except it was very long, well groomed, it looked controlled and it was shiny.

I asked her what she used, she told me all about ABBA, NOURISHING CONDITIONER.

I was estatic, I purchased a bottle from the salon, and have been using it ever since.

It is a CONDITIONING TREATMENT which you can use a CONDITIONER & rinse out or you can use it as a LEAVE IN CONDITIONER.

In the last 3 years ABBA NOURISHING, has had a re-brand with new packaging and a name change, it is now called ABBA PURE GENTLE CONDITIONER. Same product, different name, new look.Here is my review:

THE TEXTURE: Silky, Soft & Smooth Conditioner

KEY INGREDIENTS: ALOE VERA & FLOWER EXTRACT

★ABBA PURE GENTLE CONDITIONER has natural ingredients, so it is great for sensitive skin or scalp. 

OTHER INGREDIENTS:
►  Botanical Infusion of: [Water (Aqua) (Eau), Arnica Montana Flower Extract, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Prunus Serotina (Wild Cherry) Bark Extract, Lavanclula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Extract, Cymbopogon Schoenanthus Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Flower Extract, Passiflora Incarnata Extract, Passiflora Incarnata Fruit Extract (*Passion Flower)], Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Glycerin, Lupin Amino Acids (150 mw), Hydrolyzed Soy Protein (1000 mw), Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein (2000 mw), Hydrolyzed Wheat Starch, Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E Acetate), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Algin, Citric Acid, Limonene, Methyl para ben, Propylparaben, Diazolidinyl Urea, ABBA Aromatherapy Fragrance (Parfum).

It claims to do this: Nourishes, locks in moisture and provides protection from environmental stresses.  Helps retain moisture.

In my hair, It actually does this: Tames & defines each and every curl.  Provides my hair with nourishment and conditions it. When it drys my curls are soft, when I rinse it out my hair is smooth and silky.

RECOMMENDATION: My hair drinks ABBA PURE GENTLE CONDITIONER, so I buy the 1 litre.  If you have curly hair, untamed hair, I definitely recommend you use ABBA Pure Gentle Conditioner every day as a leave in and once a week as a conditioner, so after you wash it condition with ABBA Pure & Gentle and rinse with and then  towel dry your hair and re-apply as a leave in. You can use it with a mousse but I don't. PURE GENTLE works best with the ABBA PURE GENTLE SHAMPOO.

RATING: ★★★★★

THE PRICE: 1L / $34.00 ONLINE
200ML / $34.00 ONLINE

THE MAN ON A MISSION - ANTHONY "THE MAN" MUNDINE

ANTHONY THE MAN MUNDINE

In the words of John Singleton, Anthony "THE MAN" Mundine is undoubtedly one of the best athletes Australia has ever produced.

ANTHONY MUNDINE, FOOTBALLER

ANTHONY MUNDINE, FOOTBALLER

From Professional Footballer to Professional Boxer highly skilled, powerful, fast and furious in both arenas, there is no sports person in Australia that comes close to Anthony Mundine.

ANTHONY MUNDINE, BOXER
SAM SOLIMAN BOXER

After playing in 3 football Grand Finals, 1 Premiership and 1 State of Origin, Anthony became frustrated with the lack of support from the Australian NRL, for their failure to place him in the Australian team, and in May 2000, Mundine made the courageous move from football to boxing. 

Following his dream to become just like his dad, Australian boxing Champion, Tony Mundine, Anthony was on a mission to take on the WORLD.

ANTHONY MUNDINE

His stats speak his success:
43 Wins (25 knockouts, 18 decisions)
4 Losses (2 by knockout, 2 by decision)
0 Draws

Titles:
Current Interim WBA Light Middle Weight Champion Boxer
Current WBA Super Welter Weight Champion
Former two-time WBA Super Middle Weight Champion
Former IBO Middle Weight Champion 

You can watch his history here courtesy of "GLOVES OFF" FOX Sports and Balaclava Boxing on YouTube. Featuring boxing great, Johnny Lewis, Radio Announcer Alan Jones, Talk back Host John Laws, NRL great Andrew Johns, Media Mogul, John Singleton, his supportive mother, Lyn Mundine, his number one fan and daughter, Jada Mundine and his mentor, trainer and father, Tony Mundine.

Anthony Mundine talks candidly, about his career in boxing and football, his family, the controversy, his plight for his people and his boxing goals in the next 5 years.

Get to know why he calls himself "THE MAN".

10 years on Anthony Mundine is still going strong and is about to embark on the biggest move in his boxing career to-date, he is on his way to fight in America.

In training and patiently waiting for a date and opponent, Anthony Mundine is on a mission to prove his critics wrong and represent Australia and his people on a WORLD STAGE.

ANTHONY MUNDINE

There is no man in sport in Australia, who has achieved what Anthony Mundine has. 

There is no fighter in Australia with the extraordinary athletical ability as Anthony Mundine.

There is no boxer in Australia, with the determination, heart and soul fighting for what he believes in. like Anthony Mundine.

It is time Australia recognised Mundine's sporting and boxing achievements and rallied behind him in his plight to become a WORLD CHAMPION BOXER.

Stay tuned for my 3 part series VLOG following Anthony Mundine's journey to the top of the BOXING world.

ACT LIKE A WOMAN, THINK LIKE A CAVEMAN

With the release of the feature film version based on Steve Harvey's best seller THINK LIKE A MAN, all of America was talking, tweeting, and facebooking it's release and headed to the cinemas to watching driving it straight to the top making it #1 Movie in America.


Just about every famous African American got behind it and supported even if they did not feature in it.

Think Like a Man follows four interconnected and diverse men whose love lives are shaken up after the ladies they are pursuing buy Harvey’s book and start taking his advice to heart. When the band of brothers realize they have been betrayed by one of their own, they conspire using the book’s insider information to turn the tables and teach the women a lesson of their own. (Taken from their official website).

Starring: Michael Ealy, Jerry Ferrara , Meagan Good, Regina Hall, Kevin Hart, Taraji P. Henson, Terrence J, Jenifer Lewis, Romany Malco,Gary Owen, Gabrielle Union, Chris Brown

Directed By: Tim Story 

Written By: Keith Merryman & David A. Newman 

Produced By: Will Packer 

Think Like a Man is apparently, it is a very funny movie, I really hope it makes it to Australia.  Unfortunately, we never get movies of this type in Australia.


Here's the trailer:

Along with every good movie comes a soundtrack. The title track "Think Like A Man" featuring Jennifer Hudson, Neyo & Rick Ross is a great one.

JENNIFER HUDSON
THINK LIKE A MAN

I just love the clip it features woman shaking it in corporate attire and Jennifer Hudson 
looks radiant. I just love her outfit, the woman is all class.


Her verse:
"Why you call me your dream bed
And foolish of me I believe that
You said every king needs his queen babe
That's why you needed me baby
Right in between lost and love

You go and mess things up
Now there's no we babe
There's just you and there's me baby

There was us, there was trust
There was happen and change, I know
Silly you, silly me, silly us, what a waste"  

NEYO
THINK LIKE A MAN

The song also features one of my favourite artists NEYO.


He ads that Neyo smoothness to  the track.


Neyo's verse:
"Now I'm gonna keep it realer with you now that I ever been
Wish we would never been, girl we was better friends
You didn't had to tell me, what went right and when
Um why I didn't need it,
Cause you wasn't my girlfriend, we had a good thing
You were a combining hitting, ooh give me that good thang
Then after we were finished,
You go your way, I go my way, it was whatever
Tell me what ever happens
Think this wanna gonna be better
And now i'm telling you lies,
All because I hate to see the tears in your eyes
Of course I want my cake, and needed too, i'm a guy
And of course, you don't understand,
But you would if you thought like a man in love"

The BO$$ Rick Ross comes in for the break down:
"Time cost money and it's so expensive
Versace, lenny got these women blowing kisses
Leaning on my auto, she's so photogenic
Can I take a picture, she's my mona lisa
Living like a princess in a fairy tale
You know them people up in barney show and tell

Bentley black and not a ninja see no poney tail 5 karat yellow diamond you don't know me well

Penthouse, set the drunks, it don't call and sell

She called the night at twom I had to call the cab

You don't understand it's altitude i'm balling at

I'm at the game on the wood where the owner at"

I'm not too sure what he is trying to say in this verse. Maybe I have to watch the movie.  I think he's just in the track because it's "Maybach Music".  The BO$$ has flo tho! This song however, does take me back to the old skool format - Singer/s with Rapper in the breakdown.  Kevin Hart is a crack-up!

My favourite part is the bridge:  

"So different but the same,
Boy you taught me everything
Yeah you show me how you think,
You're the only one to blame
It's such a shame,
Yeah you lost the game, but you taught me how to play"

Most men have a caveman mentality and are unevolved, and unfortunately for the most part their thoughts are driven by the appendage that sits between their legs. 


So watch out Ladies! Protect your heart. Go for the intelligent ones.

The message is clear here:

"In love, love, love
You gotta act like a woman, and think like a man
But in love, love, love
You gotta act like a woman and think like a man
Act like a woman, act like a woman
Gotta act like a woman"

I'm preaching don't settle for less than you expect. 

LEAVE the PLAYA! DON'T PLAY the GAME!
