Hey everyone! Who’s excited that it’s Friday?!? I certainly am, although I’m spending mine getting as much school work done as I can before a very busy weekend…
About… a month ago (?? maybe 6-8 weeks…) I was sent some shampoo and conditioner to try out. Well, I’ve certainly been giving it a solid try since I’ve been using it since then!
Intelligent Nutrients is a certified organic hair and skin care company from the founder of Aveda. They use ingredients that are food-grade organic, which means they are the best for both your body and the planet. They have all different kinds of products, ranging from skin care to hair care, and much more, all of which you can find at www.intelligentnutrients.com.
I was sent their Harmonic Shampoo and Conditioner, which is an antioxidant-rich, volumizing, lightweight shampoo and conditioner for all hair types.
The first thing I noticed? The smell! I absolutely loved the minty/herbal fresh scent (I should not go into perfume advertisement…).
As I mentioned, I’ve been using the products for probably about two months now, and I really, really like them! My hair actually does seem to have more volume and it’s great with keeping my hair from getting frizzy, even in the rainy weather we’ve been having.
They also suggested I check out EWG’s skin deep database to check out all of my products. I haven’t had the chance to do it (my computer loads the site weird so I keep meaning to look at it while I’m at school) but it’s a nonprofit that evaluates the ingredients used in beauty products and then assigns it a grade based on the toxicity. Definitely worth looking at!
Now, I don’t consider myself much of a “fashionista”, however I think on occasion I can be stylish (emphasis on I think), so I thought maybe I’d start sharing some outfits, especially ones like yesterday where I got everything at a bargain!
OOTD (Outfit of the Day):
Top: Old Navy, Skirt: Marshalls, Necklace: GroopDealz, Tights: H&M, Boots: Red Dress Boutique.
Cardigan: Old Navy.
Who doesn’t love a good closet selfie?
Do you try and buy organic or natural beauty products?
Any interest in seeing outfits I put together?
i really love my intelligent nutrients shampoo & condition! i love the tingly feeling, especially in the morning – totally wakes me up!
I agree! I love it!
I can’t wait tell my shampoo finally runs out so I can try mine, I have a habit of filling up my bottles with water and getting every last possible drop out. Katie, love your outfit and especially the fact that you got it all at bargain prices!
Thanks, Nicole!
Cute outfit!!
Thanks, Emily!
I love the outfit–the cardigan really makes the outfit pop and that skirt is really cute! I would love to be able to afford natural haircare products but they can be so expensive. I definitely like the Whole Foods store brand stuff, which to me is more moderately priced.
I haven’t tried anything from Whole Foods, I’ll have to look around next time I’m there!
You look plenty stylish to me! I love hair products. I was using Herbal Essences shampoo for awhile just because it was cheap but I found this amazing line called Desert Essence at Whole Foods and now I’m obsessed. Why does the good stuff have to be so pricey?
I know what you mean, I used to (okay up until they sent this to me) buy the cheapest kind I saw at the drugstore!
I have tried organic hair products in the past and lived them. They can be a but pricey but worth the treat.
I agree, they’re definitely worth it!
Closet selfies FTW! I’m curious about that shampoo now! I’m a product junkie…
Dooooo it.
Yay outfit pics!! Haha.
I am pretty simplistic when it comes to products. Once I find something I like and that works for me, I tend to keep using it.
I’m like that with everything BUT shampoo and conditioner… I usually just buy what’s cheapest!
Super cute outfit! You look so professional, yet young and stylish. I’m nervous about dressing professionally in medical school next year.
lol I dress like a human (aka not workout clothes or jeans) 2 out of 4 days usually at school…
Ohh say no more, I love minty smelling shampoos. Last one I really liked was at a hotel and I forgot to take it with me so I’ve been on the hunt for another. Thanks for the tip! Happy Friday!
Ah that’s too bad! Haha you should call the hotel and ask!
What a cute outfit! Since I lack in the ability to dress myself nicely, I love getting ideas from those that do!
Well I love to help! I love putting together outfits, although I have a pretty simplistic style
Your closet looks enormous. I can barely fit anything in my closet and dresser combined.
well you have to walk through my closet to get to the bathroom… haha so it has to be. But yes, it’s enormous and I absolutely love it.
Very cute! I love a good bargain 🙂 Share more!
I will, thanks Davida!
Love your outfit! 🙂
Thanks, Leah!
LOVE those boots! Riding boots are my fave :).
Thanks, me too!
Definitely check out EWG if you get the chance. So many scary ingredients in our everyday products! I’ve stopped using commercial toothpaste and am hoping to switch over from everything else gradually.
Cute outfit! Love the boots.
oh gosh, that makes me nervous about my toothpaste!
Love the closet selfie 🙂 Cute outfit.
Thanks!
LOVE your outfit! Boots with a skirt is always a win in my book. You look super cute!
Thanks, Annette! And I love boots and skirts, especially with our chilly weather!
I never buy shampoo/conditioners in the Costco size containers, even though they are cheaper, because I always love buying new types to try! Mirror selfies are funny because I always want to look at my phone and not the mirror for some reason!
I’m the same, I rarely stick with one kind!
Love closet selfies! Althought mine are usually bathroom selfies, not quite as classy 🙂
I’m like you in the perfume advertising; things either smell “good” or “not good”. But I’m a fan of minty freshness!
Haha I had to get the full length look!
Lovely outfit 🙂 I have made the switch to natural/ organic beauty products, though, to tell you the truth, I don’t wear makeup, so I’m really only talking about body lotion, shampoo, conditioner, and face washes. They’re definitely a little pricier, but since I don’t buy too many products, I figure I can justify the cost. Plus, they make my skin and hair very happy 🙂
I’ll have to look out for more organic products!
Cute outfit! I also don’t consider myself that fashionable, but I’ve started to blog about my outfits as well. I think everyone has something to offer when it comes to style. I’d love to see more of your outfits!
I really like that outfit, btw. Anything that’s boots w/ a skirt is a winner in my closet.
Thanks, Melissa!
