Teenage Tester

    As these blogs have been composed, very few have interested my teenage daughter. She’s lived with this avid gardener/birder her entire life (and would deny having any knowledge of bird species, but something’s had to have rubbed off?!). Now blogs on shoes, shopping (she has picked up on the spaver way of shopping) & beauty products are more in her wheel house of interest. It wasn’t until I saw products missing from my bathroom into hers that I decided (with her approval) to bring her into the tester mix.
      The first product that she is sold on is the organix Moroccan argan oil for hair mentioned in previous blogs. I mentioned it to her a few times & she did finally try it & was hooked. She now has her own bottle. And we have since learned that the argan nut from which the oil is harvested, only grows in Morocco. It is only grown & harvested by a co-op of woman there & it supports their entire co-op economy. She, being socially conscious, likes this back story. We are in the process of testing together, the shampoo, conditioner & intense moisturizing treatment. Their cherry blossom ginseng shine finish spray is now her favorite detangler. Actually, organix entire line of hair care smells so yummy to her that I’m sure we’ll have more info on these products in future blogs.
      The second product that disappeared is the Olay Professional advanced cleaning system with the spin brush. Mentioned in blog Beautiful Skin 2, this less expensive version of Clarisonic’s cleansing brush is wonderful. Admittedly, my daughter & I do not share similar skin care needs (except to use sunscreen!). But this works so well to exfoliate the skin that whatever the products we do use, work even better for us. Again, we now each have our own.
      We are now also testing a B.B. cream (blemish balm cream – the phenomenon in Asia). More on this in a future blog when I cover foundations!
