This shop has been compensated by Nature Box™. #ShopNatureBox #sponsored What is “minimalist hair” anyways? For some, it may mean shaving it all off, keeping your hair super short, or just letting it do its thing. To me, it means creating a routine that makes taking care of your hair in an easy, quick, and healthy way while still looking neat and put together. In short, hair care for a minimalist is about keeping it simple. Many of us have a fair amount of beauty products stuffed Read More
Back2Blonde Root Touch Up // Demo
I love the look that highlights (and lowlights) give to my hair. But I never seem to have the time to get my roots touched up as often as I should. Normally it doesn't bother me, but if I have to look presentable in public somewhere, it's the first thing I see in the mirror or in photos of me...that weird outgrowth before the blonde starts...awkward! Luckily, there's a product out there to help remedy that. It's called Back2Blonde. It's a temporary root concealer that you just spray at your Read More
That Postpartum Hair…Switch Up Your Routine!
This post is sponsored by TRESemmé, a product of Unilever, as a part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. These days, I have to say that millennials, like myself, are doing things differently than previous generations. Take beauty and hair, for example. I turn to social media and influential bloggers for reviews on products before I buy them. And hairstyles? I’ve pinned tons of images to my hairstyle board and get inspiration from my Instagram feed. It’s a different way of Read More

Fun Finds for New Moms
When I pump, I have a bit of down time to browse the interwebs. That said, I've collected a list of fun finds for new moms: 1) Creative way to display photos--because we all go crazy taking photos of our little ones! 2) Emily McDowell makes the most hilarious greeting cards ever.

Dove Hair Silky Hair Dare | Review
Doing my hair was never my strong suit. Styling an outfit? I’m down with that! But when it comes to doing my hair…I’m not that great. About a year ago, I got a blow dry/auto curling wand (Conair Curl Secret) to take my hair to the next level because I can’t use a regular curling iron to save my life. Pushing the limits, I know. Major hair novice right here. I have been growing my hair out and whenever it gets to a certain length, I get discouraged because I don’t know what to do with it Read More
Head and Shoulders Part of Our Family Sweepstakes
Oh, hair. It has taken me several attempts and various products to get it looking acceptable and “styled.” My hair is super fine and is quite dry at the ends and oily at the roots. But on bad hair days, my hair reminds me of a horses’ tail with the dry, frizzy ends…and if I don’t wash it every day, it gets really oily and stringy-looking. And having oily hair and scalp is a factor that can trigger dandruff. But I have always turned to Head and Shoulders…it clears up dandruff and restores Read More
