Grandma's Cookies

Grandma's Cookies

Chocolate Brownie, Oatmeal Raisin,Vanilla Creme, Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter.

Every once in awhile, I get a big box of goodies from different companies whom in the email state that they will send a few, key word "few" items for me to try out and this is what shows up at my door.  Trust me, I am not complaining. 

Ever just want a soft cookie for snack and end up finding hard or stale cookies? 

Not with Grandma's Cookies, These are freshly baked and sealed in freshness to STAY SOFT.  

I received Oatmeal Raisin, Vanilla Creme, Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chip and Chocolate Brownie.  

My favorites were Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Raisin.  Least favorite: Chocolate brownie, unfortunately, this reminded me of those brownies found in Diet or frozen meals.  Not a fan of those.

These are not really cookies that can be dunked in milk. They kind of fall apart as they are already soft. Though the Vanilla Creme cookies are perfect for milk dunkin!

In about 3 weeks, every last cookie was gone, between myself and my family.  The kids really did enjoy these cookies. My son loved the Vanilla Cremes and ended up taking a pack or two to school for snack. 

In our Opinion, we give this cookie a : B

B, Because we like to dunk our cookies, and these aren't really for that.

But definitely an : A, for Taste. 

If you would like to order Grandma's cookies, you can visit Walmart or Amazon

or you can stop into any 7-Eleven, WaWa or other convenience store to pick up single packs.

L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE System for Oily & Greasy Hair

L'Oreal Elvive Shampoo & Conditioner

Extraordinary Clay Re-Balancing System

Great for Oily and Greasy Hair

(Currently only sold in the UK)

Time and time again, I have been on the search to find a product that truly did what the label said. After trying tons of products meant to re-balance your bodies chemistry to help lessen or stop over oily and greasy hair from appearing. I can Finally say..I HAVE FOUND A WINNER.

L'Oreal came out with Elvive Extraordinary Clay Re-balancing. Meant for people just like me with greasy hair that appears not even a full 24 hours after washing my hair.  

Currently the only down fall, Its only available in the United Kingdom, but you can still order this product if you are prepared to pay the shipping cost.

Normally all of my product reviews are deeply discounted or free of charge, this on the other hand. I paid out of pocket for the Shampoo, Conditioner & the shipping. lol  But in the end. Well worth the price and the shipping. 

About This Product

This is something new to the L'Oreal line.  They came out with this along with some others to pin point the direct problem that you may have. Whether your hairs Oily or you have dry scalp or even want thicker hair... there is a system with L'Oreal for that. There is a long list of products in the Elvive System.  While they all claim to work for each list of problems listed on each label.  I only tested the Re-Balancing system. 

So like normal, the sniff test. I love anything that smells flowery or fruity. This stuff smells amazing. 

I was impressed with the thick formula used.  Some of the other re-balancing products I used where more runny and to me that doesn't seem right.  The product should stick to your hair, not try to run away screaming. lol  So with a product like this, focusing on the roots and scalp is the key.  This is where your body is over producing your bodies natural essential oils.  Your not trying to remove the oils completely, but this system will help balance it all out, so your not over producing, which is what is giving you that "I look like I didn't just wash my hair" look.  

So there is this product in this line that your are to put on your hair BEFORE washing.  Now it came later then the first 2 bottles and I am inpatient. Let me just add here that it makes a HUGE difference when using the whole system, rather then just the Shampoo and Conditioner. 

Get your hands on the pre shampoo treatment & also the dry shampoo. 

The dry shampoo helps keeping everything balanced in between shampoo's. Definitely another plus and good to have on the go. 

I gave it about 2 weeks of using all four products.

After 2 weeks, I was able to wash my hair every 2 days rather than every day.  

I did speak with L'Oreal personally whom stated, depending on how unbalanced the body is will depend how long to use the product for. It could take any where from 3-5 weeks or longer if there is something else wrong.  If it takes longer than 3 weeks and theres no sign of change, stop using and contact a doctor. Also ask your doctor if any medications you may be using may be throwing off your bodies natural balance.

I will give it another week or so. I have noticed some change.  I spent my life just dealing with what I thought was just normal for me to have Oily roots and dead ends.  I never knew there was actual products out there that would help with this, until now. 

I definitely give this product an A!  So far its working for me.
