Foxbrim Argon Oil Hair Repair Oil review.





A photo posted by Sara (@shsc82) on



I was sent this product to try out by Foxbrim via Tomoson. I was sent it for free in exchange for my honest opinions on the product. I was excited to try it out and I do like it quite a bit.  I don't really have damaged or dry hair, but it is very thick, and frizzy.

That's my hair, towel dried and how it is, even when I simply brush it or put it up in a pony tail, it doesn't want to behave and flies away all day. Not quite thick and wavy enough to be pretty and curly, just enough to be annoying. I don't like to use too many products though and I even limit my washing of it to 2-3 times a week as it keeps your hair healthy and keeps the natural oils in place. Using traditional products, while they can be effective, also seem to mess with the balance of my hair and throws my scalp into a panic.

So I was excited to use this product, as it is all natural and it isn't just for conditioning and repairing your hair, but can also be used to style it. This was me the first time I used it for styling.




A little greasy, there is a bit of a learning curve here, less is definitely more, I worked it into towel dried hair and didn't even use a brush, that's just working it through my fingers, it got a little better once brushed. The next day at work my boss complimented my hair and asked if I had straightened it or was using a new product, I told her I was trying out a new product called Foxbrim. Now I can't help but wonder if it wouldn't work on her hair too. Is it ideal for Caucasian and African hair?

The next time I washed my hair I just used shampoo and skipped the conditioner, and my hair was still so soft and silky. I skipped a use of Foxbrim and threw my hair into the usual messy bun and battled flyaways at work all day. I am now sold on it. I still haven't quite found the right amount to not look a bit greasy, but am getting better, I am bad at patience.

 The only complaint I have is the smell, it's kind of tea tree oil in nature, but it doesn't linger on the hair, so it is tolerable, you just smell it as you apply your hair. Seeing how well it worked on my hair from just having a little bit, I am sure it is very great for applying as a restorative also. My hair just doesn't have that need at this moment, but I will give it a go next time I dye my hair and give it a bit of damage.

And you can get it from Amazon, for at time of posting, $17.95 and free shipping with Prime, genuinely worth that, because just a few drops does amazing things

Oh my gosh! My first Amazon Echo review.

I got picked by Amazon to be able to purchase an Echo. (you have to request an invite to buy).

I am an Amazon Prime member, so I got a discount on it, it is the coolest toy ever. I will have to post an in depth review with videos of me playing with it when I have a bit more time.

It is basically a pretty decent speaker (has to be plugged into the wall though) that you talk to and it performs a variety of functions, it "learns" and will have more capabilities later on. I am hoping for different voices and wake words. It's wake word is Alexa, after the library of Alexandria. If you have Amazon prime you have access to millions of songs for free (and can play your playlists) if not, you can set up iheart radio to it, you can set iheart radio to it even if you do have Amazon prime though.

So far I have had it; play me music, tell me the news (from NPR!!), give me the weather, add items to my shopping list, spell words, do math problems, define words, tell me facts, set an alarm, and tell me jokes. Oh and I discovered if you say, "Alexa who let the dogs out?" it replies, "who who who who." cracked me up! It also responds when you ask it what the fox says!

Oh and if Echo can't answer a question it will send you a link to a bing search to your companion app. Evan asked it a lot of random things, so I have been getting quite a few links sent to me.
