Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy

I am always game for trying new products, especially when it comes to products for my hair because I'm always looking for ways to improve its condition.  As you all know from previous blog posts I have issues with my hair (nothing serious but bothersome just the same).  Luckily I was offered the opportunity to try out and review the Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy line through Shespeaks.  You all may have seen the commercials coming out lately with Heidi Klume advertising this particular line.  If Clear is what she's using then I'm all for giving it a whirl since her hair is gorgeous!

Until Shespeaks offered enrollment in this program I must admit that I'd never even heard of this line of products and hadn't paid any attention to the advertising on tv, but now I am seeing commercials for it and am more interested than ever.  What is supposed to make Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy products out perform all other hair care products is that it nourishes the scalp and the hair folicles since that is where 99% of hair health starts.  And maybe that is where I've been going wrong.  For years I've been trying to find the best possible hair care products for damage that is already being done to my hair and not concentrating on starting out with healthier hair.

This product line comes in a variety of formulas for specific hair needs such as Total Care, Damage & Color Repair, Volumizing Root Boost,  Strong Lengths, Moisturizing Dry Scalp,  Complete Care, and Ultra Shea.  I believe that I will be trying out the Total Care formula through Shespeaks but I would really be interested in trying out the one for strong hair because its not only supposed to nourish your scalp but correct damage that is already done to the hair shaft and for me that would be the best of both worlds. 

Shespeaks asked each of us to go to our local Walgreens and look at the display they had for Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy and take a quiz there.  I did indeed go to the closest Walgreens around (130 miles away in Missoula) and was a bit disappointed that the products were just in with the rest of the hair care products and that no additional information was provided in their display... meaning no quiz to take either.  I'm sure that the major displays are probably in stores that are in bigger locations but I was hopeful when I drove into town and stopped by that Missoula would be so lucky.  I did find out more about each of the individual formulas though while I was there.  But just so you know, Walgreens isn't the only place you can get these products. Walmart, Target, CVS, and other online retailers also sell Clear products so go check them out!

Heavenly Heels Thanks to Dr. Scholls!

I'm not the kind of person that dresses up very often.  Well to put it plainly I live in a rural town in Northwestern Montana that has two gas stations, two bars, and a post office.  None of which allow for much opportunity to have a night out on the town.  But my dear sweet fiance knows that I love to go dancing but complain about my feet hurting afterwards.  So when my Dr. Scholl's For Her High Heel Insoles arrived a few weeks ago in my Bzzkit from BzzAgent we made plans to go to Sandpoint and have an honest to goodness night out (including dancing). 

We both got gussied up and I found my cutest aka most uncomfortable pair of little black stilettos I own and put the insoles in them.  I figured if I was going to give them a true guns a blazing try this was going to be the make it or break it test run.  Ever since I got the Dr. Scholls insoles I'd be moving them from shoe to shoe to see how they would perform while I was on my feet all day at the local school teaching.  I'd had great experiences with all those shoes and my feet loved these insoles so I was optimistic about trying them out in this situation.  I've only worn these shoes a couple of times for less than two hours because they are so hard on my heels and the balls of my feet.  I've even thought about giving them away to friends because what was the use of having something so cute if you couldn't enjoy them.

So after dinner Mace and I went for a walk along the the boardwalk of Pond Oreille as a "warm up" and my feet still felt fantastic.  So we moved on to the club and got our groove on.  After 3 hours of dancing up a storm and then walking around town to get back to our car I was more than impressed that my feet still felt great.  My legs were tired but it wasn't coming from my feet aching.  So if you gals really want to break out those great shoes you have at the back of your closet GO FOR IT.  Just make sure you get some Dr. Scholls For Her insoles in there. Your feet will thank you!
