August Favorites!!!
I decided to share with you guys some awesome products that I bought in the month of August that I just love!!! So lets get started!!!
1. EOS Sweet Mint Organic Lip Balm -- I absolutely LOVE THIS!!!!! Instead of buying regular old Chapstick this month I decided to purchase this. It's 100% organic, its made of things like shea butter, Vitamin E, and other great stuff.It is extremely moisturizing, and gives my lips a tingly feeling every time I put it on!! It comes in other flavors like, summer fruit, lemon drop, and tangerine. I got mint because I just love anything that minty. [= I love that is shaped like a little egg, making it super easy to apply, and since it bigger it's harder to misplace this compared to Chapstick. This can be purchased at Walgreens for like $4 buck.
2. Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash
I purchased this product because I was having crazy breakouts this summer from the heat and sweating. The product I was using before was not working, I think my skin just got to use to the product. So I decided to try something new!! & I picked this up and since then my face has cleared up a lot. I got this from Walmart for like $6 bucks
3. Benzoyl Peroxide Gel
I combined this product with the oil-free acne wash, and these together work miracles! Since I have add this to my skin-care regimen my face is completely pimple free! The only down side of this product is that it dry your skin out, and can leave white marks on your face, but this problem can be solved as long as you have a good moisturizer. This product can be found at Target for like $3-4 bucks.
4. ECO Styler Gel- Olive Oil
This is a gel that I have been using since I decided to go natural, so I have been using this product for over 6 months now. It's in my August favorites because, in this month I have used this gel more than ever!! Usually a container can last me a couple of months, but I used a whole container in August. I love these gel because it really defines my curls, without making them super hard, and without flakes. This product can be found at Sally's for $4 bucks, and it's a big jar of gel for a good price!
THESE ARE SOME OF MY MANY FAVORITES, BUT THESE ARE THE ONES THAT STOOD OUT IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST. I WILL BE MAKING A SEPTEMBER ON AT THE END OF THE MONTH.
ENJOY,
XOXO, KRISTEN

Skin Care Regimen! (Face only)
So I currently only use 2 product on my face to keep my skin looking good and healthy and acne free!!
1. Shea Moisture African Black Soap
I absolutely love this product I have been using it since November of 2010, and it is a product I plan to continue using for the rest of my life. It is an organic soap that is filled with ingredients form africa.How do I use it? I simple wash my face two times a day (morning and at night) with this soap and that its!! Simply and Easy. It was done wonders for my skin, it has removed all my black head, my skin looks has more even tone, and just simply looks healthy and clean.
Where can you find this product? This product is only sold at Target,and it's under $5 Bucks. Can't be that. One bar can last you about 2 months.
2. Clean & Clear Dual Action Skin Moisturizer
So this is just my everyday moisturizer that I use after clean my face with the Shea Moisture African Black Soap. It works great, it not to thin or to thick of a moisturizer. It's just perfect. Where can you find this product? This product can be found at about any drugstore there is.
I hope this post helps someone that looking for a new skin care regimen. Don't be afraid to try new products.

Honey Mask Review
Honey Mask Review(Organic Honey ONLY!!)
I absolutely love honey mask. I came across an article online about this remedy. I'm so glad to have found it. I feel so silly bringing honey into the restroom, but the results are so worth it.
Check it out, this is all I do: Put enough to coat my entire face, leave it on for 15-30mins (I usually watch tv to pass the time or get internet), and then I rinse it off. That's all! I love how it's so easy to rinse off, too. You'd think it would be a mess but it's not at all. If you put too much on your face then it becomes runny and drips--just apply a thin layer and let it absorb. Works great!! I have only been using it for about 2 weeks now and I can see a difference in my skin already!!

Chilli Talks hair!!
Hype Hair: What are some of your favorite ways to style your hair?
Chilli: I like the wash-and-go the best because it's easy. Just jump in the shower, wash my hair, put some mousse on it, and that's it!
Hype Hair: What are some of your favorite hair products?
Chilli: The best mousse in the whole wide world is by Paul Mitchell, the one that says "with conditioners," so it doesn't dry the hair out. It doesn't flake and all that yucky stuff.
Hype Hair: What about styling tools? Do you have any favorite brands of flatirons or curlers that you like to use?
Chilli: I don't own a flatiron, but I do have those hot rollers. When I get a roller set, I use the hot rollers at home in between my visits to keep it up because that's not stressful to the hair.
Hype Hair: How do you protect your hair from damage?
Chilli: Well, I don't kill it with the hair dryer and flatirons.
Hype Hair: So you stay away from heat pretty much.
Chilli: Yes, I do. The only time I use the heat is when I use the diffuser, but [the heat] is still coming out in a different way. It doesn't agitate the hair that way. And, when I sit under the dryer for a roller set. That's it.
Hype Hair: Do you have any favorite hair-care tips for our readers?
Chilli: What I would recommend is to use a satin pillowcase. Your hair doesn't shed as much when you use a satin pillowcase, which is obviously healthier for the hair. And I use oils. I try all different types of oils because I believe in hydration.
Hype Hair: What kind of oils? Botanical oils?
Chilli: I use coconut oil. You can find that at any Indian grocery store. It's pure coconut oil. I like the oil by Motions called Marula Natural Therapy. It smells so good! When my hair is curly, I use this product by Cantu — Cantu Shea Soft Daily Shea Butter Oil Moisturizer. It's not real thick and heavy, but it really moisturizes.
Hype Hair: What about hair color? I see you still have the auburn color.
Chilli: Forever!
Hype Hair: OK, so you're going to keep it. So you would never go blonde or anything drastic like that?
Chilli: Oh no, no, no, no, no! (Laughs)
Hype Hair: Well, the auburn works for you. It's great with your skin tone!
Chilli: Thank you.
