Selfridges & Co.: Over 100 years of service

6 floors, every designer you can think of and even a hair salon Selfridges & Co. is a store that was built with one thing in mind, the customer. Founded & built in 1909 by an American man named Harry Gordon Selfridge, Selfridges department store changed the way the world (especially women) looked at shopping. While I was visiting London my mom and I took a detour to the well known Oxford Street & scoped out the one of a kind store.

Selfridges & Co.

Selfridges & Co.

Walking around and learning the history of the store I learned that Harry was the first person to ever install public restrooms & was one of the first stores to have & sell premade clothing. As his success grew, the more & more Mr. Selfridge tried to better the shopping experience. Whether you were there just to pick something up or wanted to spend the day, it really had something for everyone. Restaurants, hair salon and hey even a bedding department lol. And the customer service was top notch! Every employee wanted to make sure you got what you wanted, listened and had the best experience possible. This store made some of our department stores look like doll houses.

Inside Selfridges & Co.

Inside Selfridges & Co.

If you found that something’s may be to expensive, Harry solved that problem too by putting in cheaper priced items such as cards, ornaments and more. As I was told there was even something for every occasion such as Christmas, Halloween etc. The store display windows where decked with flowers and every designer had their own little boutique within the store. This place, oh how I wish I could show & share so much more with you but pictures and my words do not do it justice AT ALL!! Now don’t worry, I wont leave you hanging on this but YES you can buy from Selfridges and have them shipped over to the USA. Visit www.selfridges.com for all of the designers, makeup and more. Also check out pictures, & more history on the store by visiting any web browser. You will not believe your eyes and it will have you saying “Thank You Mr. Harry Gordon Selfridge”.

Holistic Care for your Hair from Maple Holistics

argan-shampoo1-250x250

My latest find in Hair Care is from Maple Holistics. Maple Holistics is a homeopathic solution for your hair and it’s wonderful! I love this shampoo; it’s gentle on my hair leaving it soft and bouncy. I especially love knowing that this shampoo offers everything that is healthy and natural for my hair.

Maple Holistics Argan Shampoo contains some extremely effective oils that will help your hair and scalp maintain its health.  Argan Oil, also known as Moroccan Oil is one of the rarest oils in the world. I use many products with Moroccan oil and I don’t ever shy away from a beauty product containing it. Argan Oil contains Vitamin E, Carotene, and essential fatty acids…all good stuff!

Other ingredients include, Peach Kernel (moisturizes, and great for sensitive skin), Avocado (containing vitamins A, B1, B2, D, and E),  Camellia Seed (conditioning and rejuvenating), Almond Oli (moisturizing and soothing), Jojoba and Botanical (Keratin is a family of fibrous structural proteins, which contribute to the composition of hair. As it is essential to hair’s formation, insufficient quantities of keratin may be a contributing factor to having frizzy and unmanageable hair. This naturally derived ingredient helps to replenish the ideal keratin content for strong, durable hair)”. Of course, there are the fragrances of Honey and Vanilla. What’s not to love about this healthy and natural Shampoo.

Unknown

Maple Holistics Silk18 Natural Conditioner is equally beneficial.  It is a great compliment to the Argan Shampoo providing moisture to your hair and the results? Silky bouncy and beautifully shiny hair. I have curly hair, and my curls have definition and bounce and without frizz at all, it’s perfect! Silk18 Natural Conditioner contains Silk Amino Acids, “Eighteen naturally-derived (literally extracted during the silkworms process of creating silk) silk amino acids prompts an assortment of hair and scalp benefits. Some of these benefits include strengthened hair fibers and natural restoration for flawless hair health. Also, the high molecular weight of the silk amino acids results in the formation of a substantive film to increase scalp permeability. Includes L-Alanine, Glycine, L-Serine, L-Valine, L-Threonine, and more.”

Shea Butter, Aloe Vera, and Green Tea are also contained in the conditioner that help promote moisture to dry hair to dry and delicate hair strands. Shea butter contains vitamins A and E, and is aa natural moisturizer. Aloe Vera is the conditioning agent, and Green Tea strengthens hair roots, activating hair follicles promoting hair growth. Other beneficial ingredients include Pomegranate, Hibiscus and Sea Buckthorn. Silk 18 even aids in preventing problems like dandruff,split ends, and premature graying.

Maple Holistics Silk18 Natural Conditioner has an amazing scent of vanilla, after all it does contain 100% natural vanilla, and the scent stays in your hair even after drying. View the complete line of hair, body and skincare at  mapleholistics
