Are you looking to know how to grow healthy, soft, and shiny hair? 

I was too, and as I did my research I found that ingredients are everything when it comes to hair care. I have always had really straight, fine hair, but a lot of it. However, I noticed that as I get older my hair has started to shed a lot more and as I get more stressed with work I tend to pull on my hair. A pretty bad habit for my hair and it's health. 

So this year I decided it was time to invest in having healthy hair. 
When I saw that my all time favorite skincare brand came out with a hair care line I was ecstatic. 
I immediately had to try it out and I can't wait to share some of my favorites with you guys. 
P.S. I am currently on my 4th set of bottles so you guys can trust that i actually use these products. 

Let's start with Shampoo and Conditioner:
Scalp Relief Set

• Benefits: It is Doctor-Developed and helps to detangle, soothe, and calm a dry, irritated scalp. 
• Both are enriched with Therapeutic Psorzema Herbal Blend ® (Neem, Burdock, and Bearberry), as well as Tea Tree, Menthol, and Salicylic Acid (penetrates to lift away excess flakes and surface buildup). 

Thickening Set

• This set is perfect for those like me who have a lot of hair but it tends to be really fine. 
• Benefits: It is formulated with a unique blend of naturally-derived proteins, vitamins, and oils to create an effective thickening formula that nourishes the scalp and hair. Also the conditioner is enriched with Hydrating Argan Oil and biotin. 

Let's now talk hair care treatments: 

Scalp Relief : Derma E has recently come out with a Scalp Treatment that is infused with Tea Tree Oil, Aloe Vera, and a Herbal Blend. It is the perfect treatment for those who experience flakey, itchy, dry scalp. 
Not to mention that this product smells absolutely incredible, which is super hard to find in most hair care products like this. You can use it after you wash your hair in the shower and it provides an instant relief of itching and a long-term effect as well. No need to apply much, a little goes a long way. 

My second favorite new product that is currently COMING SOON: 
Derma E Keratin Thickening Spray: 
Are you looking to add volume to your hair? This product is perfect for you! It is formulated with Keratin and Biotin and instantly gives you a boost in volume and height to your hair. Not to mention that it has an ingredient called Chanterelle Mushroom and it helps to prevent hair loss. That's a yes from me after the 2020 year. 

My TOP FAVORITE Product COMING SOON From Derma E: 
Bonding Hair Repair Oil
So if you are wondering how to treat your hair with a bonding hair oil, and does hair oil work to grow and nourish your hair? Or why you should use hair oil? Here you go! 

I was so excited about this product because hair oil has been a huge thing this year and there are so many products out there. I have seen them advertised on social media like Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram. The main issue I found with other brands is the price of them. Some of these brands are charging consumers way too much for hair oils. 

Hence why I am in love with Derma E, it works, shows incredible results, and it is budget friendly. Their Bonding Hair Oil is clean, concentrated, and it boosts shine while helping to nourish and repair damaged hair. Minimizing flyaways and hair frizz creating a silky soft finish to your hair. That's a YES from me! It is enriched with: Chaga Mushroom, Jojoba Oil, Amla and Mongongo Oils. 

We are about to be in those deep winter months which means dry skin.
​Dry skin go away, please do not come back another day. Luckily with Derma E Hydrating Line your skin will be hydrated all winter long, and all year long!

If you have followed me for a long time then you know that I love Derma E. It is my holy grail brand that has saved my skin in so many different stages. I don’t share this with you just because. I share this brand and these products because they have proven time and time again improvements in my skin personally.

So let’s talk skin hydration!

With this line from Derma E your skin is plumped and replenished with essential vitamins and botanicals. Vegan Hyaluronic Acid delivers intense moisture for healthy hydration while infused humectants work to reduce dullness, fine lines, and flakiness in this ultra-hydrating and plumping collection.
Does it get better than that? Let’s talk products

My personal favorite: The Ultra Hydrating Alkaline Gel Booster
I love this one because it helps target those dry patches in your skin and it also has Hyaluronic Acid that delivers intense moisture.

The next two are go-to’s that you can’t go wrong with, if you are experiencing dry skin these Day and Night Cream’s will keep your skin hydrated day and night so that you can wake up with moisture and go through your day without the heavy feeling on your skin.

Do you have puffy eyes when you wake up? Are you tired of bags under your eyes?

Lastly, let’s talk Facial’s. Who doesn’t love a good facial am I right?
Now you can get a hydrating facial in your own home with Derma E ultra hydrating alkaline overnight facial. Now you can pamper yourself at home with a luxurious overnight facial. It’s an overnight.
​
Now you can love your skin and wake up feeling hydrated.
I share these products with you because Derma E is skincare I trust and you can trust too! #ad #DermaE #sprouts #Ulta #PROVENCLEANBEAUTY

In my 20's skincare has been a huge aspect of my life. I learned the importance of taking care of your skin and finding brands that truly care about your skin too! 
If you follow me on any of my social media you know that my Holy Grail Skincare Solution leads to the brand Derma E.
Derma E is committed to your skin just as much as you are! They are also committed to your health, well-being, and the natural environment. I have extremely sensitive skin so when choosing what I put on my face the ingredients matter. Another reason why I love this brand is because they make dermatologist recommended products. 
​Anytime Derma E comes out with a new line of skincare my entire day, week, month, is made! I wouldn't be sharing this with you if I didn't love the products and use them everyday. 

Let's talk about their new Anti-Wrinkle line
Two things that stood out to me right away : the products contain Vitamin A & Glycolic Acid 
YES PLEASE!! 
The serum gently exfoliates the skin to help diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dull skin. You are probably wondering what the benefit of these products are? 
The Benefits: 
Fights signs of premature aging. I think we can all agree that it's never too early or late to start taking care of your skin. 
I use the cleanser once a day, I prefer at nighttime after all my makeup is off and then I like to switch it up between the serum and the Night cream depending on how my skin is feeling. If I am feeling oily I prefer the serum because it is lighter than the cream. But if I am feeling dry a cream will rejuvenate and energize my skin back to a healthy glow. The night cream is perfect because it treats your skin overnight and in the morning your skin can feel refreshed. 

If you are looking for a way to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and a youthful looking complexion and glow I highly recommend this line from Derma E. 

I"M ENGAGED!!! 

Ahhh it's crazy how God works in mysterious ways. 
​Neither Nate nor I could have ever imagined the timing and the way the Lord brought us together. We are both here, not because of anything either of us did, but because of God’s faithfulness and kindness toward those who love and serve Him. We serve an amazing God who loves us relentlessly and will stop at nothing to draw us near to Him. I hope you see a glimpse of His love through the way Nate and I love one another.

How We Met: There is a trail for walking, running, and bikes where we live and Nate would ride his bike everyday on it after work and I would run on it everyday as well. 
Little did I know Nate saw me one day, somehow he caught a glimpse of me and according to him and his friend, Nate called his friend right after he noticed me and said, "I just saw the most beautiful girl on the monon, she also had one arm." haha 

A week later we met for coffee. What we thought would be a first date, quickly turned into a business meeting. We talked work for an hour and a half. Not one personal question was asked. We joke about it to this day. 
Nate and I are the exact personality types, according to the 16 personalities test we are "The Executive". 
Both extremely focused in our jobs, extremely stubborn and driven. 

After our business meeting Nate was worried he might've blown it by not asking anything personal so he asked me to dinner the next night. I said yes of course and I was extremely impressed with how much of a gentleman he was. He was unlike any man I had ever met. He opened the car door for me, opened the door, made sure I was safe and was the most kind and genuine person. We sat at that dinner table until the restaurant closed, he took me home and the rest is history. 

28 Days after we met Nate bought the ring. Leading up to that moment Nate and I had moments that only God could had planned. There was no doubt in our minds that God had placed us in each others lives at this time for Great Purpose. We thank God everyday for this incredible blessing and all of the blessings that he has given us and will continue to give. 

September 7th 2019 was the day. 
Nate said we were going to a nice dinner and that he would pick me up at 4:30. So I got dressed and there he was....what I thought was going to be a nice dinner turned into one of the greatest days of my life. On our way to dinner Nate said he made the reservation an hour earlier than he thought so he said we could go to a park that I had been wanting to walk at. We pulled in, parked, and went for a walk before dinner. When we got to a wooden bridge I saw roses, rose petals and a card. My initial thought was OH MY GOODNESS someone just had a moment here and we are walking through it, let's walk faster. Then Nate said hmmmm what does the card say? There was my name... As I opened the letter and read Nate soon was on one knee. Of course I said yes but after I made sure he asked my father haha and there around the corner came my family and Nates. What a wonderful moment and a moment that I will forever hold near and dear in my heart. 

When I was 8 I said a prayer one night before bed. “Lord I pray that my husband holds my little arm just like he would my right hand.” The Lord made sure that prayer was fulfilled. Nate fearlessly loves me for who God created me to be.“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails” 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Love,

​The first time I heard this word was in a personality assessment I took for work. I wondered to myself is this good? It showed that I had a high prudence. According to the assessment I took it meant that I was organized, dependable, and inflexible. It predicted by self-control, conscientiousness, and work ethic. It suggested that I am: hardworking, precise, and planful. I follow rules carefully and expect others to do so as well. I have high standards of performance for myself and others. And I find it difficult to adapt to change / make quick decisions because I analyze what the outcomes could be. To break it down into subcategories:

• Moralistic: I adhere strictly to conventional values
• Mastery: I am extremely hardworking
• Virtuous: I am extremely principled
• Not Autonomous: I am not concerned about others opinions of me
• Not Spontaneous: I prefer predictability
• Impulse Control: I lack impulsivity
• Avoids Trouble: Professed probity

 
The word prudence stuck with me for weeks after I read my results. I couldn’t yet figure out the word PRUDENCE. Until……
Until I turned my bible to Proverbs 11
            It discusses the idea where humility = wisdom. Wealth = worthless. Righteous = Rescued
 
It discusses how a kindhearted woman gains honor but ruthless men only gain wealth.

• When I read this I re-evaluated my heart. I re-evaluated how I go about my day to day. Do I work to make a difference in the lives around me and to help others? Do I bring God’s love wherever I go? Do I spread the message of Christ in all things I do? Or am I focused on the wealth. à this can be work for many.

It talks about how important it is to give.
Proverbs 11:25 “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”

• I asked myself how much am I giving?
• When I think of this I always think back to my parents and grandparents. These are the most giving people I know. They gave to me. They give to others. They give to the church. They have taught me that when you give, God gives to you.

In Proverbs 12:4 it states, “A wife of noble character is her husbands crown.”

• For me I don’t want a crown given to me by the world. I’ve been given that and it does nothing. But a crown earned by God is a crown that everyone can earn and it. For all of us, I think it’s about wearing the crown of God purposefully and proud. As we are princes and princesses of the one true King. Jesus Christ.

 
Finally in Proverbs 12:8 the word PRUDENCE rose about.
            It says: “ A person is praised according to their PRUDENCE.”
So what does it mean for someone to be PRUDENT according to the Bible?

1. The PRUDENT overlook insult
2. The PRUDENT keep their knowledge to themselves
3. The PRUDENT diligent hands will rule
4. The PRUDENT act as a light
5. The PRUDENT take advice
6. All who are PRUDENT act with knowledge
7. The PRUDENT give thought to their steps
8. The PRUDENT are crowned with knowledge
9. The path of life leads upward for the PRUDENT
10. PRUDENCE is a fountain of life for the PRUDENT
11. The hearts of the wise make their mouths PRUDENT and their lips promote instruction.

 
These are just a few ways the Bible explains this.
 
The reason I am writing this is because little did I know the importance of this simple word. I had no idea of the impact it can have. I encourage you all to carry PRUDENCE.
I think Proverbs 11-20 really showcases what this all means and entails, and I think that all of these words are extremely valuable for today’s world.
 
It discusses Patience, Peace, Kindness, Calmness, Wisdom.
 
I encourage you all to act with PRUDENCE this week.
