Lol!

Olive oil is very nourishing for the hair as well, in fact it's widely used as an overnight hair treatment here in Greece, but I just can't put it on my hair without washing it off (unlike the rest of the oils), I 'd smell like a freakin salad! Haha! I just think that anything coconut/vanilla/flower scented is not that offensive! xxxxTina A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08114907058931604230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643809796485797684.post-49997723819322467602010-09-03T14:57:16.733+03:002010-09-03T14:57:16.733+03:00hey tina, I use Plain Coconut oil for my hair, as ...hey tina, I use Plain Coconut oil for my hair, as a pre-shampoo treatment. I apply slightly warm oil to my hair at night and then in the morning I gve it a mild steam with HOT towel...like soaking it in hot water and tying around the hair.<br />Then wash as usual.

My friends always order the same apple, coconut and mint mix and that's pretty good :) <br />Wow, cool! I wish they would serve sheesha with traditional coal...or maybe I just have to get myself a waterpipe and do this myself hehe<br />Thank you for sharing Hun!

Hold that order on the scrub juuuuust yet there missy, *cough cough*! Lol!<br />But yeah, I know that there's at least 3 stores selling it in the capital, so now they just have to start stocking it in stores across the country (and make my life easier too, or, I could have my mother ship it to me, hmmm)! <br />Kinda weird that its not largely available in the us, we get it here and u don't???

I 've tried the 3 min miracle in the past and I loved it, especially that gorgeous scent, felt like I had left the salon!<br />Unfortunately I can't find these here and the shipping I have to pay is usually more that the product itself, so I have to explore other options! xxTina A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08114907058931604230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643809796485797684.post-13364739162805241692010-08-29T06:46:45.628+03:002010-08-29T06:46:45.628+03:00@Sam: Thank you dear!

Yeah, it's fairly new, prob about 2 mths old and here to stay too, I think I finally found one that I 'm happy with! :) xxxxx<br /><br /><br />@<b>Annabella</b>: I just had a look at your review and my thoughts are exactly the same abt this product: it doesn't feel as harsh, but it still does an excellent job! :) Definitely an HG body scrub in my eyes! <br /><br /><br />@<b>Pink_Fish</b>: I got both of these products on zuneta.com, as I 'm usually not in Athens for the most part!

Or perhaps a canadian website does, I spose that would be easier for you! Hope u find this product works for u as much as it works for me! :) x<br /><br /><br />@<b>Karen</b>: Yep, I 'm pretty sure that u'd enjoy monoi oil too! What I love about this is that it's pretty much pure monoi oil - I just hate those hair products that are marketed as "pure", when they 're actually anything but!!!<br />Good point about the scrubs, some of them do tend to leave an oily film afterwards, definitely not good if you 're planning on applying some fake tan! However, I can see this one working fine! TBS is great for scrubs and body butters, however these two products feel so much more luxurious on... And they 're very affordable too! You should definitely give them a try if u get the chance! xxxx<br /><br /><br />@<b>Sarah</b>: Yes, I believe it's a sign that it's a really pure oil! It may take a few more minutes to melt, but once its a liquid you know u can use sth that your hair/body will actually benefit from, instead of sth with additives or preservatives! <br />I don't think we get any Elemis products here, I 'll have to check online, although I must say I 'm pretty pleased for the time being!<br />Thx for stopping by! :) xx<br /><br /><br />@<b>Mairyliscious</b>: Kai ta dyo proionta ta phra ap to zuneta.com, omws mporeis na ta vreis k se alla sites, ta grafw sto post.

I rem...Great post - thanks for sharing with us Hun! I remember you had mentioned using monoi oil in your hair for shine/manageability/moisturizing. I haven't tried monoi oil but I have used coconut oil. Monoi oil sounds very appealing to me now since you said it's coconut oil with tiare flower properties :) I will give it a try once I've finished my coconut oil, which is also solid at room temperature at first. <br />Wow, the Hei Poa scrub sounds great too. I like how you pointed out that it suds/lathers a bit when you use it. My current Warm Amber Body Scrub from The Body Shop also lathers up a bit and I like that because I have used scrubs with oil in them and it leaves my skin feeling really oily (which is okay once in a while, but not to mention my bathtub has oil slicked all over!). I agree that it's very effective to exfoliate off dead/peeling skin. This one sounds like an HG scrub to me!Karen Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09242109930764582496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643809796485797684.post-68406930957034618052010-08-24T06:24:36.649+03:002010-08-24T06:24:36.649+03:00Do you think I can get it somewhere in Canada?
