Notes Of Eunoia-Volume lll- New Product Drop, Skincare Finds, Jia turns 13, and a Cirrias Sales Event!

Hello yall!

I hope you are enjoying cooler weather where you are. It's on and off here in Mississippi. The cooler temps usually show around the first weekend in October. I'm so ready!

It has been quite a month for me. After 2 rounds of antibiotics and steroids, I am finally feeling about 96% normal. I have changed several things to my everyday life to hopefully alleviate the issues longterm. No surgery required at the moment.

I know I said on the last blog that The Pumpkin Collection was coming back. But a slight change of plans. I've decided to bring the Pure Scalp Detoxifying Mud Masque back as a regular product. I have been playing with other products and although I love the style results, the end result is a loaded itchy scalp with dry patches that I become obsessed with picking and then that causes sores.

So I needed something that would calm my scalp, and clear the irritation. And this is the product. You layer it on like a relaxer making sure the scalp is covered completely then sit under a hooded dryer with a shower cap for 20 minutes. This allow the product to melt into the scalp and strands drawing toxins and debris out. Rinse thoroughly, shampoo at least twice and proceed with styling! Once a month is all you need to maintain a healthy scalp. This product will be available Oct. 4 at 1 pm CST! The Pumpkin Collection will return late October.

I want to share some skincare finds I am loving for this over 40 skin. I will share a bit of my routine because it is not typical. I don't believe in a ton of steps. 

I usually wash my face with whatever whipped shampoo I have in the shower at the moment. The soap base is extremely gentle and the clay adds a bit of detox and exfoliating. And you only need a TINY bit. Once rinsed, its so soft. At night I use this Cactus Concentrate by Bambu Earth. I LOVE IT but it does have a VERY strong scent profile. Medicinal, but it eventually goes away. Some nights I use The Overnight Mask by Onyx and Rose. Its very nice. Leaves the skin soft. These two together will cure all your dryness woes. 

In the morning, I use a warm towel to wash lightly moisten my face. Usually no cleanser unless its after a work out. I like this Vitamin C Serum by Buttah. It goes on smooth and then I follow with a balmy moisturizer such as this moisture balm one by Oak Essentials. Let me know if you try any of these! 

Jia is about to be a teenager. She is so excited for this number change. This year she chose to do dinner at her favorite restaurant, Golden Corral, and she wants to go to UPDOWN. Its a trampoline park. We haven't been to either of these in years so this should be interesting. 

She isn't begging for a phone, thank GOD, but she does want a computer to play games. I'm leery about it and now I have to do so much research to figure out how to keep her safe on this internet. She is still not mature enough to handle it on her own. We'll see!

So something I have been working on since Cirrias passed, is finally underway. I will be taking a trip to Tampa to her home to get pieces from her personal collection. Her husband, JC has given me the ok to open it up to guys if there are any pieces you would want. This will be the only and final time her pieces will be available. I will not be bringing it all back with me as her collection was MASSIVE! But I am grateful to be able to select some pieces before he sells them to a crystal dealer. So if you are interested in seeing what will be available, I will be doing a LIVE SALES EVENT on Instagram, Saturday October 26, 7 pm CST. If you are in the area and want to meet up, I'd love to!

Thank you for being on the journey with me! See you on the gram! Tell me below what you got planned for the week!
