DRY SHAMPOO !!

Hi Gorgeous,

Let us talk Dry Shampoos! For me, a gal with naturally oily hair, it is a routine MUST that saves me at least 2x a week.  But, for those of you who might not have ever really messed with it, let me give you the scoop!

Dry shampoo will save your hair when its looking just a little slippery but face it, you don't feel like taking a full on shower.  It will rid your hair of excess oil and odor without the need for water!  Just spray at your roots wait a few seconds, and then fluff in with fingers- VUALA!

Dry shampoo can also help you pump up the volume on any flat-do because of its starchy nature (think adding starch to thicken a stew).  It's also epic in holding that tease all night long!

My favs:
Batiste Dry Shampoo (affordable 'Drugstore')

Dry Bar Detox Dry Shampoo (pricey Prestige brand)

Which is better you ask? Whichever fits your budget! Don't let pricey items fool you into thinking they are always better.  Many Drugstore brands are actually the Parent companies of the high-end brands you love which means ... shared manufacturing space/products etc. (get it?)

In this case both are fantastic - for everyday use I turn to Batiste which I pick up in ULTA, but for that extra 'umf' on date night I reach for drybar Detox.  Its got a better hold and absorbs super fast.  Plus, it comes in an adorable travel size that you can usual find while waiting on the line at Sephora- which comes in handy when needing to bring with you to another location.

Cheers to a beautiful you,

Aztec Indian Healing Clay - Fask Mask

Hi Gorgeous!

If you are into treatments, exfoliators, and face masks then this is the post for you!
Back in November I was watching the oh-so-sweet Kathleen Lights talk about a few of her favs and she mentioned this gem  --->

 

At first I told myself not to buy another product (although only retailing on amazon.com at $7.50 for 1lb) because I have tons of sheet masks, overnight masks, clay masks etc.  But as I was approaching my wedding date, my skin was really acting up with these little bumps under the surface and uneven texture (bridal stress is NO JOKE).  So I turned to my fellow bridal friends on FB and asked what they use to bring out the best in their skin and BAM! first reply was this Indian Healing Clay.  That's all it took for me to go ahead, hop on Amazon and buy this baby.

Needless to say I'm so pleased I did and love how my skin looks and feels after using it.  It's one of the simplest and 'all natural' products I use and requires nothing but itself and one other ingredient ... Apple Cider Vinegar (another health and beauty holy grail).  I apply this every other week and typically on Sundays before bed.

My favorite part is that you can literally feel your face pulsating while the clay mask is drying and when it dries, boy is it DRY!!  After removing you'll notice that face is a bit red (from scrubbing mask off and from acidic vinegar) and so I soothe it with a light ace oil and head to bed! It honestly removes all dead skin cells, dirt, and those stubborn clogged pores!  You will feel like a new, vibrant YOU!

Cheers to a beautiful you!
