Two-Things-Hair

It’s that time again. I need a haircut. Kind of desperately. I know because even Matt has noticed how often I am checking out my split ends. It’s that bad. I was growing out my hair for the wedding and Matt. He digs my hair long. Which is great, but not if I am taking scissors to my split ends. That is no bueno.

So I am gonna go for a little chop and be on top of it as it grows out (hopefully). I go to the salon 3 or 4 times a year at the most & rarely style or put products in my hair, so it’s condition could be worse. But I happen to be a bit on the OCD spectrum and freak when it’s bugging me.

These two styles 1 {Elin King} & 2 {Elizabeth Olsen} are speaking to me. Both have simliar traits to my hair so it might kind of work out. We will see. It’s not drastic right?

Now it’s a matter of talking Matt into the idea… Which might be more difficult than picking a cut.

Bachelorette Part II ~ The Goodies

I felt so lucky to have all of these wonderful women with me for my bachelorette so I wanted to do just a little something for them. So I started planning the bachelorette goodie bags. Oh dear, did I have a blast picking out all of the little gifts.

It all began with the awesomely colorful options at BAGGU. I knew it would be middle of summer so the girls might appreciate a festive summer bag. I went ahead with some of the essentials which included: a variety of Essie colors, Revlon nail files, hand sanitizer, sofia coppola champagne cans, mimosa lollies by The Groovy Baker, elastic hair ties, nail polish remover pads, a thank you card, some home made tattoos, EOS lip balms, and handmade crepe paper flowers.

They were a hit to say the least. I think the best part was the set up because each girl got to pick out the items they wanted in their bags. And I tried to pick out the colors and items that each girl would not only like, but really get to use. And use we did!

 

p.s. Essie’s California Coral & Fifth Ave were a total hit! xo

Summer Essentials

This summer has been flying by and I thought I would share a couple of summer essentials that I cannot get by without.

 

Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray for calming after beach/pool hair, MAC spf 15 mineral powder foundation for a light summer cover, the ever comfortable turkish bath towel for drying off or covering up, Home Mint’s perfect Santorini tote to pack everything in, Ilia Beauty Balm Lip Conditioner to protect and smooth, and Clinique’s Solar Smart SPF 50 sunscreen to protect.
