Happy People Only (HPO) Review

http://www.hpospatreatments.com/

Spa hair conditioner:

Very light, lighter consistency than I thought, think sort of like the inside of a lemon meringue pie but a bit lighter. Smells lemony, gives great aid in detangling which is amazing since my hair has been loose all week, then I bent over the tub and used the shower attachment to shampoo my hair with my chagrin valley ayurvedic bar (which is also amazing, I'm noticing much less shedding since using it!).

I used the conditioner with my heating cap for about 15 minutes, rinsed with cool water. It rinsed out easily and left my hair smooth and tangle free. This does contain wheat protein.

Simpy Curly conditioning and styling pudding:

Also has a lemony scent. I style my hair in four quadrants, and applied the pudding to each before parting into smaller sections to twist. This also aids in detangling and you can spritz a little water on top if your hair starts drying before styling. You don't need much and this is also light but made my hair feel feather soft.

Twisty locs:

A hair butter that looks hard but emulsifies easily between your palms. You only need a DAB. You all can see how thick my hair is and I really didn't need to add a bunch to each section. Ingredients include honey, jojoba oil, shea butter and some other essential oils. This also smells lemony.

Butter drops:

You can use this for a hot oil treatment or to oil your scalp. It has the same scent but I haven't tried it yet.

Lemon body bar:

A lemony bar of soap for the sexy body, haven't used it yet.

The owner Debra Small is also a very nice lady! I got a prompt email and my goodies were shipped out within a couple of days.

Keeping in touch with your inner child...

Or teenager. I think everyone needs to do this every once in awhile, for me it really keeps things in perspective. A few weeks ago Poppa and I took my nephew Jordan to the park where I proceeded to chase him around for 30 minutes, going across the monkey bars (where I found out I'm not in the best of shape like I used to be!) swinging on the swings (also found out that once you hit adulthood you can't lie belly down on the swing, nor can you sit on your knees in the damn thing. Only one of my legs would fit in the aforementioned manner). I think I had as much fun as my nephew did.

But sometimes when things get to be a bit much, what the heck, kick back in your pajamas, turn on bugs bunny, the roadrunner, ren and stimpy, or hell even those shows you watched as a teenager. You might surprise yourself by having a bit of fun.
