Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!
I hope all of you are enjoying today with your family and friends 
I plan on spending lots of time with my brand new nephew, who was born on Nov 17th 
, and my other neices and nephew. I may or may not post something beauty related today. It all depends on if I feel like typing after getting stuffed. 
Twilight & Fragrant Body Oilz
Unless you have been living underneath a rock these past several months, you would know that a little movie called TWILIGHT had its opening weekend this past few and the movie that cost $35 million to make, ended up raking in $70.1 million on its opening weekend. I saw the movie three times over the past four days. Once on Friday, Sunday & Monday and I can honestly say that the movie gets better and better with each viewing of it. I honestly have no idea how I am going to be able to last until May when the movie comes out on DVD.
Anyway – last night I was wondering around the mall before the movie and I came across this new store that just opened on Saturday called, Fragrant Body Oilz, and they specialize in fragrance oils and body care. I am CONSTANTLY looking for new fragrance oils, I think I like fragrance oils more than makeup! GASP! Anyway – I wandered into the store and I was surrounded by hundreds of jars of scents. I believe the company makes over 500 different fragances.
It was INCREDIBLE!
I didn’t get a good look at everything in the new store, but I did hit the internet today and I googled for their online store. I was impressed with how much this store offers online. Not only do they have the huge amount of scents, but they offer many, many ways to purchase these scents. They have fragrance oils to burn, body sprays, body butters, body scrubs, hand sanitizers and many other formats. I also got a better look at the different scents that Fragrant Body Oilz offers. When I was in the brick and mortar store, I didn’t take my time to look at every category. But online, I discovered that they offer just about every scent you could ever want. One of the more interesting things to me, was that they offer many Bath & Body Works clones. Several of the ones they offer look to be discontinued scents, so if the quality is there, this would be a great place to stock up on scents that you are missing.
I personally have not used any of Fragrant Body Oilz products, but I plan on picking up some stuff in the new future, whenever I get back over to the mall. Their instore prices are amazing for the amount of the product that they are offering. I believe that for one ounce of oil in store is $4.99 and that if you purchase two of them, you get one free. So I am definitely going to take advantage of that.
Anyway – enough of rambling. Head on over to Fragrant Body Oilz to check out their huge selection and then after that, get your tushy over to the local movie theatre to check out Twilight, cause that movie is AWESOME!

I tried using Aussie products several years ago, and my experience with the brand was less than stellar. I was very happy to let this brand fall into the background while I used other brands, both high end and low end. It wasn’t until this past summer that I was made aware of this brand again. By this time, I was happily using SunSilk Waves of Envy Shampoo and Conditioner, and honestly, the only reason why I tried this combo was because I was able to get both bottles for about $1.50. I had nothing to lose, so I gave it a try.
I fell in love this combo after the first time I used it. My hair was super soft and extremely shiny afterwards. I honestly don’t think my hair had ever felt that soft before, just with shampoo and conditioner. I normally have to use a deep treatment to get my hair that soft. I was extremely surprised at how well my hair repsonded to this product. My hair is normally extremely fussy when it comes to products. Some products will make my hair feel like an oil slick (Ion) or will actually make my hair fall out (Pantene Pro V). Aussie Opposites Attract did none of those things to my hair. In fact my hair behaved better with Aussie than it did even with SunSilk.
Final Thoughts: There really isn’t anything more I can say about these products, other than they worked amazingly well for my very fickle hair. Other members of my family also used these products and my aunt and cousin, who both have extremely dry hair, had a good experience with these products. So, don’t take my word for it. This brand is super cheap, and you will be able to find it on sale, to make it an even better deal. I can honestly say that I have compared this brand to another one, which is extremely high end and this one one comes out on top. I do however plan on reviewing the high end brand soon, so be on the look out for that.
