LEE STAFFORD Grow Strong & Long Stimulating Scalp Serum Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

LEE STAFFORD Grow Strong & Long Stimulating Scalp Serum is my latest discovery from this wonderful UK haircare brand, and if you want to give your hair and scalp a boost, it is a really helpful product to have in your haircare treasure trove of products. They suggest to apply two full pipettes to a wet or dry scalp, but I only use one and it is more than enough. Once applied, you simply come it through your hair and style as you normally would. It has a faint fruity-floral aroma, but it isn't cloying or long-lasting. My scalp and hair feel and look good after use. My scalp is more balanced between washes and it is conditioned and moisturized as well.

According to LEE STAFFORD,

Stimulating Scalp Serum containing a blend of powerful proteins to strengthen hair from within. With a unique blend of plant-based Lupine Seed Protein and Vegetable Protein to support a healthy scalp for stronger hair.

LEE STAFFORD Grow Strong & Long Stimulating Scalp Scrub Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Lee Stafford Grow Strong & Long Stimulating Scalp Scrub is an effective and affordable scalp scrub that gently lifts dead skin cells, removes product build-up and leaves the scalp refreshed, but not dried out. You gently massage the gritty exfoliator into your scalp, which feels wonderful, and then you let it sit for about three minutes ad then rinse. Follow with your favorite shampoo and conditioner, and your hair and scalp with feel revitalized and very clean. I was concerned that it might be a bit stripping on my scalp, but they have included moisturizers that actually leave the scalp moisturized and comfortable. It has a light fruity-floral aroma, but it is neither long-lasting, nor in the least bit cloying.

According to LEE STAFFORD,

Clear the way for stronger, longer hair with the Lee Stafford Grow It Longer Stimulating Scalp Scrub. Gently and effectively exfoliate to remove product build-up and dead skin cells. Massage in for a stimulated, healthier scalp.

Formulated with a unique complex of plant-based Lupine Seed Protein and Vegetable Protein combined with natural exfoliants to improve scalp health and support stronger, longer hair.

Features:

• This exfoliating scalp scrub buffs away the bad stuff, clearing the way for healthy hair growth.
• If you're looking to deeply cleanse your scalp to help promote healthy hair growth.
• We added Superpower Hydrolyzed Lupine extract to improve hair strength.
• It removes product build up and dead skin cells, for a healthy scalp.
• This grainy scrub gently exfoliates for a balanced, moisturized scalp.
• The result? A healthier, happier, fresher scalp and hair that feels healthy.

Directions: Massage Lee Stafford Hair Growth Stimulating Scalp Scrub through wet hair in the shower to exfoliate the scalp. Leave on for three minutes to work its magic before rinsing clean. Follow up with Lee Stafford Hair Growth Activation Shampoo through wet hair, massaging from root to tip to remove any product build up. Rinse well. Squeeze out excess water and apply Lee Stafford Hair Growth Activation Conditioner from roots to ends, massaging with fingertips to coat every single strand before rinsing clean. Towel dry hair and spritz Lee Stafford Hair Growth Leave-In Treatment all over, from root to tip. Blow dry section by section with a big paddle brush to build even more volume and fullness.

Ingredients: Aqua (Water/Eau), Hydrated Silica, Glycerin, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Hydrolyzed Wheat Starch, Hydrolyzed Lupine Protein, Betaine, Saccharum Officinarum/Sugar Cane Extract/Extrait de Canne à Sucre, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein PG-Propyl Silanetriol, Hexapeptide-11, Panthenol, Creatine, Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate, Aminomethyl Propanol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Synthetic Wax, Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer, Coco-Glucoside, Parfum (Fragrance), Tetrasodium EDTA, Disodium EDTA, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Sulfate, Benzophenone-4, Hexylene Glycol, Sodium Chloride, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Hydroxide, Citric Acid, Benzyl Salicylate, CI 73360 (Red 30), CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide), CI 17200 (Red 33).

Overall Assessment: This is such a great way to remove dead skin cells and product build-up. I am such a fan of this affordable UK haircare brand.

Revisiting Renpure Coconut Milk & Vitamin E Moisturizing Body Wash

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

I managed to catch my first nasty head cold of the season, and little offers comfort when one is very congested. However, I wanted to share my reinvigorated interest in the wonderful Renpure Coconut Milk & Vitamin E Moisturizing Body Wash. In fact, when I am in the hot shower, and my nose starts to unclog, its creamy toasted coconut aroma is a visceral pleasure, and it is just so comforting. While I love this body wash all year round, it is perfection this time of year, and it has made my cold a bit more tolerable!

Renpure makes luxurious and yet inherently affordable products, and at a mere $6.61 for 24 oz., their body washes demonstrate this point beautifully. You will be delighted by their wonderful aromas, and the way they pamper and moisturize the skin. You may remember my reviews of the Renpure Lavender & Honey Calming Body Wash and the Renpure Pomegranate & Mango Exfoliating Body Wash (Reviewed HERE), and they are two of my favorite body washes. Renpure Tea Tree & Mint Purifying Body Wash (Reviewed HERE) is another amazing body wash that is ultra-refreshing in that it awakens the senses while it thoroughly cleans the skin.

Renpure Coconut Milk & Vitamin E Moisturizing Body Wash has such a warm and creamy aroma that is calming and delectable. It boasts a rich and satisfying lather that is so pleasing to the senses.

According to Renpure,

At Renpure, we believe that everyone deserves beautiful skin, without compromise. Our naturally inspired body washes cleanse and moisturize skin without the use of harmful ingredients, while caring for our planet.

Our Coconut Milk & Vitamin E Nourishing Body Wash Replenishes skin by hydrating and sealing in moisture to keep skin looking healthy and feeling soft. With subtle sweet notes of creamy coconut.

Features:

• The Benefits: The Renpure Coconut Milk & Vitamin E Nourishing Body Wash gently cleanses to get rid of daily grime without drying out your skin.
• The Formula: We use gentle, plant-based cleansers with carefully chosen ingredients like coconut oil, vitamin E, and hydrolized milk protein to create a nourishing and ultra-moisturizing body wash.
• Made For Everyone: Our Coconut Milk & Vitamin E Nourishing E Body Wash has the perfect unisex scent and was made with gentle ingredients for all skin types.
• 100% Free From: Sulfates, Parabens, Dyes, Gluten, Phthalates, Propylene Glycol.
• Sustainable: Both the bottle and pump are 100% recyclable and made from recycled materials.
• PETA Certified: Animal Testing and Cruelty Free.

Overall Assessment: This is a really wonderful body wash, and the warm and creamy aroma is utter perfection. This is one of my all-time favorite body washes, and I highly recommend trying it. You just can't beat the price, either!

Two of My Best Purchases of 2024: Peugeot Salt & Pepper Mills

Purchased (Affiliate Links)

I kid you not, when I state that purchasing the Peugeot Salt and Pepper Mills were two of my best purchases of 2024. I have had numerous other salt and pepper grinders over the years, but none came even close to these beauties. They are made in France, and the ones that I purchased have elegant turned wood bodies. They are precision instruments that allow you to select the coarseness of your grind, and they are very well made and durable. I purchased the 9" version of both, and I am delighted with my choice. They make salt and pepper grinders out of an assortment of materials, and from several types of wood, and there is something for every aesthetic sensibility. Whether you are looking to treat yourself, or someone on your holiday gift list, this is an excellent idea for anyone who enjoys cooking and entertaining.

Peugeot Paris u'Select Manual 9" Salt Mill in Chocolate ($58.00-$68.95 from Williams Sonoma, Crate & Barrel, Sur La Table and Amazon): This beautiful salt mill, in the chocolate finish, has an exceedingly smooth and effective grind, and it is truly a pleasure to use. It is an elegant piece, crafted from beechwood, and built to last. Be sure to only use dry rock salt, not larger than 4mm, and you will have an excellent experience. Sea Salt, and other oiler types will eventually impact the stainless-steel grinding mechanism, and therefore I have always followed Peugeot's suggestion to use dry rock salt.

According to Peugeot,

These classic wooden mills feature Peugeot’s masterfully engineered grinding mechanisms and the patented u’Select feature, which lets you choose the grind from six settings with a simple turn of the base.

Peugeot’s u’Select feature lets you choose your preferred grind, with six settings from ultrafine to coarse. Salt mill’s stainless-steel grinding mechanism is engineered to resist corrosion. Crafted of certified sustainable beechwood with a chocolate-brown walnut stain and a semigloss finish.

Mills come prefilled with salt crystals and whole peppercorns. Made in France.

Peugeot Paris u'Select Manual 9" Pepper Mill in Beachwood ($38.77-$62.00 from Williams Sonoma, Crate & Barrel, Sur La Table and Amazon): This elegant pepper mill, in a natural beechwood finish, has a very smooth and effective grind, and it is just so satisfying to use. Like the salt mill, it has a setting at the bottom that allows you to select the desired coarseness of the grind, depending upon your needs. 

According to Peugeot,

These classic wooden mills feature Peugeot’s masterfully engineered grinding mechanisms and the patented u’Select feature, which lets you choose the grind from six settings with a simple turn of the base.

Peugeot’s u’Select feature lets you choose your preferred grind, with six settings from ultrafine to coarse. Pepper mill's case-hardened-steel mechanism cracks peppercorns before grinding for an even grind and rich aroma. Crafted of certified sustainable beechwood and a semigloss finish.

Mills come prefilled with salt crystals and whole peppercorns. Made in France.

Overall Assessment: These are fantastic to give to yourself, or to the people who love to cook on your holiday gift list. Plus, if you plan to entertain over the holidays, they are an outstanding addition to your holiday table. A+
