Do you remember when they used to make Tab?? This was like the the nastiest soda EVER. But there were people who LOVED it!

Qhmet Amla & Olive Oil Heavy Cream

Since I have “gone natural” and over the past few months I have purchased A LOT of products. A LOT. My bathroom looks like the hair care aisle at the drugstore or beauty supply store. There are shampoos, conditioners, lotions, moisturizers, potions, creams, curlers and clips. I have been on the hunt for products that contain natural ingredients, have no or little synthetic ingredients, smell nice and most of all make my hair look good. Most of my inspiration comes from what Youtubers are raving about on their videos.
Last week I went to a local health food store here in GA, Return to Eden. I saw from the Qhmet website that they carry Qhmet hair products. I love this store and go here for my gluten free goodies so this excited me even more. They have an aisle in the front of the store devoted to natural beauty/body products. And I was in luck because they had the Qhmet products and there were testers to try the product!!! I came specifically for the Amla & Olive Oil Heavy Cream, purchased it and I LOVE IT!!!! My hair is soft without feeling weighed down, greasy or sticky. I used it to do a dry twist out with aloe vera gel and it came out really soft, defined and cute. I am so happy and am loving this Qhmet. It is $16.50 a jar but this is worth it to me for a product that works!!

Betty Crocker Gluten Free Mixes

Betty Crocker one of the leaders in the boxed mix game has gotten into the gluten free market. I tried the brownie mix and it was good, tasted like “real” brownies. My son gobbled them up and stated “they taste the same.” The cookie mix, not as good. They had a good taste in terms of flavor but the texture was wrong. It ended up feeling like sand in my mouth. If they could find a way to make this cookie moister it would be pretty decent. To round out the trio, there is a cake mix which I have in my cabinet and will probably try this weekend. We’ll see…I’ll let you know:)

The A-Team

I went to see this with my son this weekend. I grew watching the A-Team tv series. My brother had the action figures. We ran around the house chanting “I pity the fool” the whole bit. The trailer for this movie looked great but this movie was not good. The storyline was silly. Jessica Biehl is a horrible actress in my opinion and was only here for the T&A factor. Rampage as Mr. T failed. He didn’t have the emotion or comic timing of the original Mr. T. I hate to say it but The Game may have been a better choice. Like my son said as we were leaving the theater “we should have gone to see Toy Story 3.”

Grade:D

Shutter Island

I wanted to see this movie really bad when it was in the theater but missed it so I was excited to rent it the day it came out. I think Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the best actors working today and he seldom disappoints. I loved him in The Departed in which he also teamed with Scorsese. Shutter Island was beautifully shot and well directed. Leo did a great job as did Ben Kingsley but the story fell flat and the twist at the end left me disappointed instead of entertained.

Grade:C-
