#TBReview et #Giveaway Mara Cruiz Organic Haircare

A few weeks ago, I got some hair products from Mara Cruiz Organics. We even did a giveaway and there's another to come today!

I wanted to however do a quick show and tell of each product in the package I got (and will be giving out).

I have left my hair as is for quite a bit now and love using products best for it. My usual routine is for busy days, some hair cream and brushing the edges. When I have a little more time, I mosturise more thoroughly.
At the weekends, I tend to shampoo (not every weekend as you should never wash your hair more than it needs), condition, cream and mosturise.

Here is where Mara Cruiz comes in handy. The range of products is so varied that there is something for every time frame. Five minutes? Use the hair cream. Bit of time? Use the hair mayonnaise (or growth oil) and hair cream. And of course on a 'spoil your hair day', use them all.

The products come in mainly see-through clear plastic bottles (apart from the cream and mayonnaise). I'd have preferred neater packaging with a different font and branding to make it more attractive.

Mosturising Natural Shampoo
This has a really good smell, probably because of the black soap, and I love it. It also contains olive oil which is a plus for me.

Nourishing Rinse-Out Conditioner
Easy to apply and contains coconut oil (another plus!).

Mosturizing Leave-In Conditioner
Another one that is easy to apply and as suggests, quicker to use since it is leave in.

Hair Mayonnaise
I haven't really used this one, first because I tend to forget, and secondly because having to leave in for twenty minutes before rinsing out needs more scheduling than I can handle.
It will however be great for those of you with really tough hair.

Hair Growth Stimulator Oil
This is my favourite. First because oils are generally my favourite, be they for hair or body, but also because anything that stimulates growth gets a pass!

It can be sprayed unto your hand or directly into the hair which also makes it convenient and easy to apply, and is infused with loads of great herbs like Rosemary and Sage. Lastly, it's easy to carry which means it will be easy to pack!
'Parfait'!

Mosturising Hair Cream
Thick and easy to apply, it may however be too powerful for some noses.

In conclusion, the Mara Cruiz Organics range is broad and therefore provides something for everyone and every schedule. My favourite is still the oil but I would recommend each item for different needs.

TBuzz Review: Mara Cruiz organic hair products

For the last few weeks I have been giving my hair a treat.

 I stumbled on Amara of Mara Cruiz organics during the #ServiceSwap that trended on twitter. (Read about that here Service Swap   ).

She met up with me to personally hand over some of their products (for kids and adults) and that gave me the opportunity to find out a little about why she started this journey.

According to her, it started as a way of helping her child find something that would not irritate her scalp. Since then, she has actually taken courses and continues to develop the brand which turned one last month.

I got the
- Shampoo
- Rinse Out conditioner
- Leave-In conditioner
- Hairgrowth stimulator oil
- Hair Mayonnaise
- Hair cream

and have now been able to use all of them at different times.

On the whole, products with natural components score highly with me. It usually means they have all of the goodness without the chemicals that could damage hair. I especially liked the shampoo because of its smell (black soap) and the rinse out conditioner as well.

The products are easy to apply with instructions clearly written on the bottles / jars.

I have a giveaway bag with all the products above plus an extra one for the kids containing shampoo, rinse out conditioner, leave in conditioner, baby oil for hair and skin and hair butter which can be won via instagram.

#Monday WIN tickets to the Emotional Masterclass

What will you do to move your personal or corporate brand to where you really want it to be?

I'm looking forward to attending the Emotional Masterclass session this Saturday and good news, i can bring YOU along.

But why should you come?

Well, let me ask; have you taken the right steps to enable you achieve your desired outcomes?

Studies have shown that 85% of life's success is dependent on Emotional Intelligence. This event, "The Power of Emotions: Using positive emotions to build your brand” is guaranteed to teach you how taking charge of your emotions can help you maximize your individual or corporate brand.

Human beings are ruled by their emotions and if you can master this for yourself and others, you will always succeed. Often times, people will connect with or patronize your brand based on some type of emotions you can evoke in them.

Nobel Prize winning psychologist, Daniel Kahneman, found that people would rather do business with a person they like and trust rather than someone they don’t, even if the likeable person is offering a lower quality product or service at a higher price.

With this in mind, rather than focus on just IQ (responsible for 15% of life's success), you ought to make an investment in strengthening your Emotional Intelligence, Moral Intelligence and Body Intelligence. These concepts are fresh to the African market but will ultimately position your brand as a pioneer.

Emotional Branding however, requires the right tools and methodologies and this is what the workshop brings to the fore - a holistic approach with Brand Strategist, Charles O'Tudor;  Star Actress, Dakore Akande, Former WIMBIZ Chair, Osayi Alile , Life & Business Design Strategist, Steve Harris  and The Catalyst, Lanre Olusola.

The event will focus on four focal areas; How to Use your Emotions, How to understand The Power of Psychological & Emotional Branding with a perspective on the future of personal and corporate branding, Deadly Emotions and How to Overcome Them and lastly, Women and their Emotions – A Liability or an Asset?

A major part of the event will be a special 2-3 hours of hands-on group and one- on-one therapy sessions handled by a team of Certified Life Coaches and Therapists after every talk. This section is designed to further provide personalised solutions for attendees with emotional challenges.

If you care about your business, career and brand; you ought to be there. VISIT
