My Hair’s Secret Weapon – Must Have Argan Oil!

In my 20s my beauty secret was Clean and Clear Astringent – I kid not, but now that I am in my mid to late 30s, I hate to share this new secret I swear by – Argan Oil.

I use it two ways… 1) face moisturizer at night 2) hair moisturizer. I don’t wash my hair daily but the night before I do, I cover my hair in Argan oil taking focus on dry ends. I swear by it! I use it as a face moisturizer, when there is excess on my skin (you can see my face moisturizer here).

I actually wash my hair once a week. Mostly on Friday. So Thursday, I load up my hair with Argan Oil. In a previous life, I washed my hair every other day, but I also blew it dry every time I washed it an flat ironed it daily. Now I flat iron it maybe 2 to 3 times a week (mostly just the front) and blow dry it never. I swear Argan Oil is my secret weapon for keeping my hair healthy and soft. You can see my hair on Instagram.

I don’t think price really matters, to me the affordable works just as well, but here are two I’ve tried:

  1. PURA D’OR Organic Moroccan Argan Oil $12.99* for 4oz bottle
  2. Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil $45.50* for 1.7oz bottle

Argan Oil restores elasticity, softens wrinkles and fine lines, heals dry scalp, and restores nutrient content to skin cells treating an array of skin conditions.   It is effective to treat all hair, scalp and skin types and gentle enough for daily use.

Right now, Amazon has Kate Blanc Cosmetics Moroccan Argan Oil as a lightning deal. It is an Amazon Choice product with a lot of ratings. I think I am grabbing it as my next bottle (again, I brand to me as not shown a difference, I just read to make sure it doesn’t smell awful!)

Find more Argan Oils on Amazon – grab whichever you prefer. I have liked both!

The Camping Elf Costume: One of my favorite ideas, four props to use for Elf go to camping. From a warm fire pit, a backpack, compass and flash light! Pose with some of your creative Barbie and doll props. Just add rocks to your fire pit!

Staging 3-D Tip: For the campfire (and the reindeer), I created a little perpendicular base by cutting a strip, cutting a tiny slit in the middle of it, cutting a tiny slit in the bottom of the reindeer and the fire cutouts, then fitting the slits together in a perpendicular way. This way I could stand them up and make them more 3D.

Elf on Shelf Photo Booth Props

Christmas Accessories and Props Costume: Two days to get your elf photo booth ready for Christmas. Nine cute accessories to give your North Pole visitor some sparkly this holiday season. (See above, in the camping props, how we got our reindeer to stand!)

3-D Costume Tip: I found the double sided tape for the face masks to worked pretty well across the forehead of the hat.

Elf on the Shelf Ugly Christmas Sweater Printable

Ugly Christmas Sweater Costume: Have an ugly Christmas Sweater? Elf does too. In fact, he/she has two! Everyone get your tacky Christmas sweater came on and celebrate the season. For this Ugly Sweater Costume, we used this My Life As Reversible Background for Use with Dolls, Classroom & Christmas. Adorable for Elf staging ideas.

Elf on the Shelf Printable Costumes

We wanted to give you a quick glimpse into how to attach many of these costumes. There are three ways. Push pins, keep Elf up higher when using them. Velro. Simple, sticks well to the fabric and peels easy. Tape. My favorite, go-to craft supply solution.

I found the best way hands down to secure the paper to the felt fabric of the Elf was using those sticky Velcro squares (similar to these) sold at most Walmart locations and craft stores. The double sided tape didn’t hold very well and became fuzzy too fast wen attaching props to the fabric. The velcro was pretty sticky the entire time and held stronger, yet was easy to remove and did not shred the fabric upon removal. The squares come as 7/8″ – 1″ squares. I cut into 4 little squares to be smaller on the Elf clothes and hands.

Elf on the Shelf Tradition

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.
