"Just for Me" - My Review of Formulate Shampoo + Conditioner ( AND GIVEAWAY!)

Picture
Do you want to know the best feeling? Knowing something was made just for you!! That's one of the reasons why I LOVE Formulate's custom shampoo and conditioner. Because it's a product made just for me! Well, for my hair…

[Okay, so you might already know you want to enter my GIVEAWAY to win a free custom made shampoo and conditioner set from Formulate. You can do that HERE . For everyone else who needs to know more, keep reading. Xoxo]

So, you probably figured it out but just in case you didn't, Formulate is a custom shampoo and conditioner company. They create a sulfate free, paraben free, dye free, preservative free, and cruelty free product based off of your hair needs that's perfect and JUST FOR YOU! Who doesn't want that?!

What I LOVE about their product is that to get to that perfect formula was super easy. I answered a series of straightforward questions about my hair 'AS IT IS NOW' and where I 'WANT MY HAIR TO GO'. They even let you choose your scent ( I chose "At Dawn" because it smells like roses, green apples and pear. It's the perfect thing to smell first thing in the morning when I'm washing my hair!). 

Let me show you what I mean….
Picture
As you can see I shared exactly how my hair is now. The only thing that was weird for me was my hair texture. I chemically straighten my hair and there was not really an option for that. So I chose to choose kinky because that 'I GUESS' was my closest texture because it's not really that either.

As you can also see, I chose five things for where I wanted my hair to go. Deep Conditioning, Hydration, Glossy Hair, Thermal Protection, and lengthening my hair are very important to me (Yes, I like to keep my hair short but I don't want it to break when it does grow. Why I chose this option). They have other things you can choose though too if you wish!

Now I'm sure you're wondering, how does Formulate actually work?! Well, here's how it worked for me…
Picture
Shampoo #1 -  I didn't notice much of a difference. 
Shampoo #2 -  I started feeling something different happening to my hair. 
Shampoo #3 -  My hair felt SOO GOOD after washing it. 
Shampoo #4 - My hair felt good and looked shiny!!

This was roughly over 2.5 weeks. I started off washing every third day for first three washes then slowed down because I was losing my hairs natural oils. Basically it was feeling SUPER DRIED OUT but I quickly realized that was user error after I stopped washing so frequently.

Sooo moral to the story, if you think it's not working keep going!! One wash isn't going to change what was happening with your hair before you started using Formulate. AND if it's honestly not working, let Formulate know. They will do their best to fix it!

And, now I'm sure you're wondering how much Formulate cost, because custom can often times get expensive right?!

I have to say it's not horrible.

$49 for a 14 oz set or $19.95 for a 4 oz set
Picture
BUT you can totally save a few dollars by trying to win your first set through my giveaway which you can enter HERE. You'll also receive a code for $5 off if you don't win. BUT I'm crossing my fingers for you to win.

I definitely recommend Formulate and hope that after you try it you'll LOVE what it does for your hair like I'm LOVING how my hair feels.

Don't forget to enter the giveaway HERE and even if you don't win. Let me know when you do try it!!

​Xoxo, @kellithinks

BAD@SS WOMEN YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT - 2020 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE SEnator Elizabeth Warren

Picture
Photo Credit ABC News

Senator Elizabeth Warren 2020 Presidential Candidate & Current Massachusetts State Senator
Check Out the "Warren 2020" Campaign Here

Wise Words:

“You have to figure out who you are, and who you are isn’t about what job you have or what kind of car you drive. You have to think hard about what really matters to you.”

Fun Facts:
​
  • Graduated Highschool at 16 with a Full Scholarship to George Washington University 
 
  • In 2012 she became the first female Senator from Massachusetts 
 
  • Was a Professor at Harvard Law School
 
  • Has her very own action figure that you can buy from a company called FCTRY. Yes you read right, how cool is that?? They also make RBG, Hillary Clinton, and soon Kamala Harris. Shop it HERE.
Picture
Some Things She Stands For:

Trade: "Warren is a critic of the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, and blames U.S. trade policy more generally for widening economic inequality in the country.
While she favors renegotiating NAFTA, she argues the deal Trump struck with Canada and Mexico in 2018 will have few benefits for American workers." Source: PBS

Rebuild the Middle Class: "That means putting power back in the hands of workers and unions. It also means transforming large American companies by letting their workers elect at least 40% of the company’s board members to give them a powerful voice in decisions about wages and outsourcing. And it means a new era of strong antitrust enforcement so giant corporations can’t stifle competition, depress wages, and drive up the cost of everything from beef to Internet access." Source (And Please Read More): Warren 2020

Equal Justice Under Law:  "We need criminal justice reform and we need it now. That means ending racial disparities in our justice system. It means banning private prisons. It means embracing community policing and demilitarizing our local police forces. It means comprehensive sentencing reform and rewriting our laws to decriminalize marijuana." Source: Warren 2020

*The above facts were compiled from reading various web sites such as CNN, PBS, U.S. News, and Warren 2020.

BAD@SS WOMEN YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT - 2020 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE representative tulsi gabbard

Picture
Photo from Gabbard.House.Gov

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard
2020 Presidential Candidate &
Current Member of the U.S.House of Representatives from Hawaii's 2nd District

Check Out the "Tulsi 2020" Campaign Here


Wise Words:


“When you love, you care, and when you care, you act.”

Fun Facts:

  • Loves to Surf
 
  • Her Father, Mike Gabbard is Hawaii's U.S. State Senator. 
 
  • She serves in the Hawaii Army National Guard
 
  • Volunteered to deploy to Iraq when her combat team was called to serve. (She wasn't on the mandatory list so she didn't have to.)
 
  • Graduated from Hawaii Pacific University

Some Things She Stands For:
​
  • Climate Change: Stands behind "One of the most aggressive pieces of climate change legislation in Congress, Gabbard’s “OFF Fuels for a Better Future Act” would mandate a dramatic move away from fossil fuels. The plan would require electric utilities to use 80 percent renewable resources by 2027 and 100 percent by 2035."​ Source: PBS 
 
  • Less Military Presence in Foreign Conflicts: "Gabbard believes the U.S. should be less involved in foreign conflicts and have a smaller troop presence in many places around the world. She has specifically called on the U.S. military to pull out of Afghanistan, arguing that American troops completed their mission there andallow the country to chart its own course." Source: PBS
 
  • Free Education: "She backs Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ proposal to cut or eliminate higher education tuition for most Americans. She would make community college tuition-free for all Americans, and four-year public colleges tuition-free for students whose families make $125,000 or less per year. The plan would pay for that tuition by imposing a new tax on stock and bond trades." Source: PBS
