Knot Genie, the brush I didn't buy for me

Hello Lovelies! Hope these past few days were wonderful!

I would like to introduce a product that I am so totally late on reviewing it is a little bit embarrassing. The Knot Genie as well as its competitor the Tangle Teaser came out a few years back and I just never got around to picking one up. I have medium weight, thick slightly wavy hair and before I started dying my hair more I never really thought about what I was putting on my hair. My hair rarely tangled if at all and anything more than some hand combing was for the luxury of it. But, as I have tortured my hair over the past few years I have found that what I brush my hair with matters more and more. 
Until Next Time,

I purchased the original Knot Genie about a year ago as a gift for my little sister. She has the curliest hair in the world and probably close to being the thickest, when we dyed her hair black it took four ((4)) boxes of hair dye to cover from root to tip!! Well, at some point she became disenchanted with the Knot Genie and I picked up, I have been loving it ever since. The bristles gently massage my scalp, and they rarely have any issues with the tangles in my hair. I love how cute it is in my beauty area , I own the original purple color so its perfect! The ease of use has me picking it up again and again. The bristles do bend a little if stored improperly so keep that in mind. They retail for $19.99 on their website but it is possible to find them discounted on amazon and other e-tailers. I do NOT endorse purchasing knockoffs. 

As per the Knot Genie site: 

Magically gets rid of knots. Not to mention complaining.

The Knot Genie™ Detangling Brush was created for every mom that has endured the foot stomping and screaming matches that come with brushing their child's hair. With the Knot Genie, even the curliest, most knotted up hair practically slips through the unique bristle configuration – gently and painlessly. Try the Knot Genie on your kids (or on yourself) – you'll be amazed by the ease of brushing, as well as how it virtually stops breakage and split ends. You've wished for hair brushing standoffs to end. Wish granted.  

MORE DETAILS

The magic trick behind the Knot Genie™ and Teeny Genie™ is one we are happy to reveal. It all has to do with the different lengths of teeth on the brush. When brushing, they bend just right, to gently untangle the hair. And because of this lack of stress, the hair's cuticle stays unharmed… revealing the smoothest, shiniest hair you've ever seen. The fact that The Knot Genie isn't like traditional hair brushes goes way beyond the bristle side. Its unique cloud-shaped top fits the palm nicely, whether you're right or left handed. Which means it feels more like an extension of your hand than a grooming tool. And also means the brushing process is far more comfortable, gentle, and most importantly, done quickly. Voila!

To wrap things up, I cannot say enough how much I enjoy using this brush. Sometimes if I am really stressed I will brush my hair with it just for the gentle scalp massage to help dissipate some of the tension. I would definitely recommend this brush to anyone with unruly hair or just wants a cute brush that won't torture their already chemically treated, and in some cases mistreated, hair. Check Knot Genie out and let me know what you think of their products if you have tried them before below in the comments. 

Until Next Time,

Aro Black Series Whey Protein Complex Chocolate

Hello EVERYONE :D
I get to review a pretty awesome Protein powder for ya'll today! (ITS FROM VITACOST!!!)

     Aro Black Series Whey Protein Complex Chocolate is the only chocolate flavored protein powder I have ever been able to drink. I hate chocolate protein powders for the most part, but love chocolate protein drinks. This makes it very hard to look at chocolate protein powders with a smile. They make me sad! I do not like the taste or smell of most of them. I know lots of people who think they are the bomb so don't knock it try it!

This one is just so amazing! It reminds me of the Odwala protein drinks in chocolate flavor. I love them! The powder tastes like hot chocolate which is awesome because it could be a really great way to sneak some more protein into a small child's diet through "chocolate Milk". My brother who is 11 loves it and always tries to steal the end of my smoothies made with it because he has figured out how amazing it is as well!

 I personally use one part milk, one part ice and one part water with a scoop of the protein powder. It tastes like a chocolate smoothie or frap type drink. the powder it self is very creamy and rich. the first time I drank it I mixed it with only water and it was like hot chocolate made with milk. That awesome! 

The actual stats of the product are don't mean a lot to me because I don't need a million grams more of protein in my diet. I do appreciate the health benenfits when I don't get time to eat a full meal or I have a meal that does not already have protein in it. 

However, here they are;

In actuality I have a limited background in Nutrition. I love it etc. But I don't have a degree in the subject. I do know that most people do NOT NEED 20 grams of protein a day unless you are doing some hard core workouts and muscle creating activities. 

I do recommend this protein powder to anyone who already includes it in their diet or vegetarians who do not consume meats and feel that they are missing out on protein.

Overall, I think this is an awesome product! I love it and it is the best Chocolate Protein powder I have ever used! 

Until Next Time,

BY THE WAY! There is a super cool thing that VitaCost does called REFER A FRIEND that means that when you click through that link it will give both you and me a free $10 to spend on their website. NOTHING IS COOLER THAN FREE MONEY! (it is valid on $30 or more purchases, but the amount of way too cool stuff makes it easy to hit that amount and then you get about 33% off!)
