I always love to read about what products other gals are using & loving, so today I thought I'd fill you in on what essentials I'm using everyday in my shower. Let's get started...
Shampoo & Conditioner
I've been using Pureology products for years, and the Nano Works shampoo & conditioner seem to really work best for my hair. When I was really trying to grow my hair out, using a non sulfate shampoo was essential for me, and I accredit the Nano Works line for helping me get my hair to where it is today. I now purchase the bulk sizes from Ulta because it really is a better value than purchasing the smaller bottles.
I've also been using It's a 10 Miracle Hair Mask regularly for the past couple of years as a once weekly deep conditioner and love it! The smaller blue bottle, Pureology Strength Cure Fabulous Lengths is a newer purchase {about 2 months ago} and I'm almost finished with this bottle. This is a new line from Pureology, and is formulated for long hair, helping to treat & prevent breakage. I really like this conditioner, and will definitely repurchase.
Cleansers & Treatments
Back in this post I talked about the Ahava Time To Clear Purifying Mud Mask, and also the Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser a little more in depth. Well, I'm still not loving the Neutrogena, it tends to be a little drying, so it has since been moved to the shower where I generally don't really use it {I typically wash my face more at nighttime, not really in the shower}. The Ahava mud mask on the other hand, I LOVE! I use it about once a week, and it leaves my face glowing and feeling completely refreshed. I have also recently purchased Clarins One Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser, and it's just alright. It does the job, but irritates my eyes, and doesn't really wow me. Not sure if I will repurchase this.
Body Products
Without getting too in depth about my "hoohaw", I use Summers Eve cleansing wash because I get those dreaded infections that no girl ever wants to get really easily if I use regular soap down there {I'm apparently a sensitive kinda gal}, so I switched a few years back to this wash that is PH balanced, and I've never had an issue since. Problem solved! I've even gotten some of my girlfriends to switch {the things us girls talk about!}, and they are now converts as well :) Ok, moving on.....
I found this pure coconut oil soap from Whole Foods and I really like it! It's really refreshing because it has peppermint oil in it. Would definitely recommend.
Lately, I've also been using Ahava Dead Sea Water Mineral Body Exfoliator. I received a sample of it when we were in Israel earlier this year and liked it so much that I purchased the full size bottle from Nordies. I use this about once per week, generally before I apply self tanner or bronzer. I really, really like this exfoliator and intend on repurchasing once I run out. All of the Ahava products that I've tested out have been great - definitely recommend you girls checking out that line.
Lastly, my razor. I use a mens razor because I think they do the best job. My hubby converted me to his razor, a Gillette Fusion, years ago and I've never used a girly razor ever since. I just think they get a much closer shave....personal opinion.

Boy Stuff
The hubs is a pretty simple guy. We share shampoo {Pureology Nano Works}, and for everyday use he's used Dial Magnetic for as long as I can remember. For special occasions & date nights, he uses Tom Ford Oud Wood Shower Gel. Oud Wood is his favorite Tom Ford scent, so I purchased this shower gel for him as one of his small birthday presents this year and he LOVES it! This makes for a great little luxury present for your guy for birthdays, Christmas, stocking stuffer, etc. Highly recommend it.
Hope you enjoyed this little peek into my shower products that I'm currently using, and please, fill me in, chicas. Any products that you're loving & want to share? Leave a comment below, and tell us about it :)
Have a great weekend!
