Flat Irons!

Let's talk about hair baby! It's been awhile, right? My sweet cousin Cathy was asking me a question about flat irons, so this post is for you Cathy!  The main goal for flat ironing the hair is to get it sleek and straight right? They make it so complicated with all the different kinds and different prices, then through in words like, Ceramic, tourmaline, titanium, infrared heat, negative ions, say wha? It's not that complicated, I promise. First, start with a shampoo that is SLS free, use a good oil to lube up your hair ( that sounded weird) Like Argan oil, and never flat iron wet hair, that is a no!

Use these guidelines to choose your flat iron:

Ceramic: good for thick to thin hair, frequent use, normal or moderately damaged hair.

Example: Chi flat iron around $90


Tourmaline : Thin to Coarse Hair, normal to Damaged, frequent use


Example:  the GHD flat iron,  around $155 but we are talking semi precious stones people, tourmaline doesn't play. It is crushed and fused together or layered on top of the ceramic to give it that negative ion boost, it is healthy for the hair, and creates less damage, and gives the hair some TLC.  It is worth the extra bucks.

Which one will you choose?

Love you Cathy!

Detangling Spray

Hi Everyone! Do you have issues with tangled hair when you get out of the shower? I always have a spray detangler on hand for myself and my kids. It is not fun when you go to brush you or your kids hair, especially the girls, and hear the complaining because of the knots and tangles. It can be painful!

The first tip to know to avoid tangles and knots in the hair is to apply your shampoo to the scalp and massage it in, let the shampoo coat the rest of the hair and rub into the underside of the hair near the neck. Try not to bring the hair up to the top of your head and rub all around, that will cause knots. No bueno!

In addition, use a good conditioner in the shower and brush it through with a wide tooth comb before rinsing.

After you get out of the shower towel dry the hair and apply a leave on conditioner or detangling spray and comb through.

The detangler that I have been loving is also a heat protectant, so it protects the hair from blow drying as well. It smells so wonderful, very island like, it has a coconut smell that I adore. It is called Beauty Protector and I got it from Birchbox.  However, I also have heard wonderful things about Unite 7 seconds detangler and Its a 10 Miracle leave in.  I plan on buying the Unite after my Beauty Protector is gone so I can compare! Stay tuned!

I also think it is very important to get a good paddle brush to comb through the hair really well to aid in getting out the knots and tangles. Hope this post helps! xxoo

The cutest bracelet and a coupon code!

Hey Everyone!

I hope you all had a beautiful weekend! I wanted to share with you today the cutest bracelet I had gotten for myself and my daughter for Valentine's day. Yes, I bought myself a gift for Valentine's day. I seriously have a habit of buying for myself, while I am buying for others! It happens at Christmas time too! Do you all do that? I tell myself it's okay to treat myself, it's practicing self love :) So, remind yourself of that when you buy something for yourself while buying for others, you deserve it! Be your own best friend!

So, onto the arm candy. I found this adorable shop on Etsy called Tom Design Shop and fell in LOVE.  All the jewelry is adorable, but I chose the gold bangle with a lowercase initial attached. I plan on ordering more. It's so cute layered with your initials or maybe with your kids initials.

Here is the description from Tom Design Shop….

"This charming bangle bracelet is made with a tiny, gold plated, lowercase initial charm, and a gold plated self-closure bangle. Simple enough for everyday wear, and looks great stacked and layered with multiple bangles. Also makes great gifts for bridal parties, birthdays, Valentine’s, graduation or any special event!
