REVIEW: Queen Bee Leather Conditioner

 

The Queen Bee Leather Conditioner treatment is really a great alternative to those stinky, messy, and sometimes short-lasting leather polishes that I have used in the past.  I decided to try this conditioner on my daughter’s boots.

 

The conditioner has no strong fragrance or smell; There is a smell but it’s not a wake-up-your-senses type of smell.  It’s a clear liquid and a little goes a LONG way—I found that out the hard way by having to polish a little longer.  There is an enclosed applicator pad—which I think needs a handle to make the circular motions a little bit easier.  It went on very easy and was very easy to use. The instructions were simple and to the point.  It said leave on for 30-60 minutes depending on how old the leather is. I left it on for about 60 minutes to get the full effect. 

Left is BEFORE; Right is AFTER

 

It can be used on any leather surface/items.  I am going to try it on a leather belt and handbag and see how that works out. I will provide an update at a later time.

 

PROS: 

• Clear
• Non-fragrant
• Non-greasy
• A little goes a LONG way
• Easy to use
• Doesn’t stain
• Multiple uses such as boots, shoes, belts, car interior, handbags, etc.

 CONS:

REVIEW: Art Naturals Daily Organic Argan Oil Shampoo

I recently tried this shampoo and I normally wash my hair every morning. In the "before" photo, is a photo of my hair, the next morning using my regular shampoo and conditioner that I am usually loyal to--a brand that can be bought in any major retailer store. The after photo, is the following morning--using NO CONDITIONER!





Upon arrival, the bottle is slimmer but taller than what the photo depicts. It says "organic" but please note that it's *not* USDA-Certified Organic and some of the ingredients are hard to pronounce--doesn't bother me but may make a difference to others.

The smell is light and pleasant--reminds me of being in the salon. It lathers up really, really, well with only a quarter-size amount. I have super long, fine-medium, straight, Asian hair and that quarter-size amount went a LONG way. I followed the instructions completely by lathering from scalp to ends, waiting 2-3 minutes, then rinsed.

It rinses it clean and even starts to feel soft while I am rinsing! Some shampoos rinse clean but still leaves my hair feeling tangled or rough so that is why I use conditioner. I opted not to use conditioner after the Argan so that I can truly assess and review it and surprisingly, I didn't even need it! Even throughout the day, my hair felt soft, didn't get tangled as much, smelled good, and looked good--I usually need a good conditioner to have this long-lasting effect!

I highly recommend this shampoo. It worked for me and could work for you!

Richardson, TX: Shuck N' Jive (REVISITED)

Another visit to Shuck N Jive becaues it was close by. We decided to do take-out instead.

We both ordered the Catfish and Shrimp Dinner for about $30.00 total. Let's just say, NEVER AGAIN and we will only stick with the crablegs and maybe the oysters.

Catfish- One (1) big fillet --we would've let this slide but the breading slid (no pun intended) right off as I was breaking a piece off plus the fish was kind of tough. Epic Fail. I am from the South, home of the catfish (Mississippi) and this was TERRIBLE. I had a catfish-fillet-shaped piece of breading on one side and a rubberry fish fillet on the other side of my plate. The breading wasn't even good...didn't even look like cornmeal to me...

Hushpuppy- that's right, hushpuppy singular. One whole, normal-size hushpuppy and it was mediocre.

Shrimp- Okay, the 6 shrimp were good..not bad but not OMG delicious but good. They had a good crunch and was seasoned well.

Fries- I didn't think french fries could be ruined but it tasted really weird---not like potatoes but like something old.

Slaw- They refer to this as "Cajun Slaw" --nothing was cajun about it and it was bleh. The serving size was small, the slaw dressing was not seasoned very well and it did not taste like "cajun".

Okay, now the Red Beans and Rice were pretty good and I'll give them that.

And that was it. We substituted one RB&Rice for the slaw. All of the above for about $15.00 per plate....NOT WORTH IT!!
