Five Favorites

Happy Monday! This is the start to a very busy week, but I don't have class this Saturday so I will be looking forward to the weekend this entire week. To start this week on a positive note I figured I would share a few of my favorites today.

1. Sneakers - I have talked about these shoes before but I am so in love with them that I had to feature them in my favorites post. These are actually from Target and are only 35$ which is such a good deal for a good pair of sneakers. Plus they are super comfortable. 

2. iPhone case I just purchased this phone case off of Amazon, it was only 13$! Why I love it so much it one for the price and two because it feels like the ones that apple sells which are 35$ each so it is a great dupe for those.  

3. Electric Brush Cleaner - I do not clean my makeup brushes as much as I should but using this electric brush cleaner makes it a little more fun. Right now I have a video on my Instagram stories which I will add to my favorite things highlight of using this. 

4. Wine red apple watch - I love getting new Apple watch bands, I wanted a color that was more for the fall and I am obsessed with this color. The next one I think is going to be Navy. 

5. Bare Republic dry shampoo - I received this tiny bottle of dry shampoo in one of my Ipsy bags a while back and was too nervous to try it. But the other day I was desperate for dry shampoo and I found this in my stash and I am so mad at my self for waiting so long before using this. I highly recommend and it smells like fruit loops. 

A few other favorites:

• The Morning Toast- I am loving this podcast and how it is also YouTube. I love these two sisters they always put me in a good mood.
• Below Deck - Now that I finished Southern Charm I needed a new show and I know I am so late to this show also but I am loving this Bravo show it's addictive. I'm starting season two today!

Winter Hair Care Essentials

I recently wrote a post all about my favorite item for winter, you can see that post here. In that post, I didn't focus on hair, but in the winter time, my hair can really feel the effects of the cold air and the big coats that have to be worn. My hair becomes a big ball of static and I don't think I have a bigger pet peeve that static hair. I have a few tips that I have found to fix that so we will get to those later on in this post.

There are a few products that I swear by during the winter months to keep my hair looking healthy. The first is this shampoo by the company maple holistics, it is made with natural tree oil which allows for therapeutic benefits and can improve your scalp health. There is also a conditioner that corresponds to this shampoo which I am dying to try out, but for now, I am using the tresemmé moisture rich conditioner. I am currently loving the combination of this shampoo and this conditioner together. This company is really awesome because they have a free samples program which you can sign up for if you click here.

Other than shampoo and conditioner I don't use much on my hair unless I am using heat on it. If I am going blow dry my hair I like to apply the Pantene BB Cream. It's a cream that I run through my hair while its wet right before I dry it. 

My hair tends to get super oily if I don't wash it every single day which is something that I am currently working on trying to change (not as easy as one would think). So the perfect dry shampoo is something that I am always on the hunt for. To be honest, if you haven't heard about Batiste dry shampoo you're doing life wrong. I also try to try a new one and always resort back to this one. 

Thanks to Maple Holistics for collaborating on today's post!

FabFitFun Box Summer 2017

I recently received my first FabFitFun in the mail the other day and I am so excited about it. I'm sure you may have seen these boxes from many people on the internet such as some of the people from the show The Bachelor. But if you have never seen the box before it is a subscription box that comes out 4 times a year (one for each season). This is the summer box which includes a variety of items ranging from makeup to clothes and even vitamins.

This being my first box I was not disappointed I'm pretty excited about all the items in this box and really excited to dig in and try them all. One item that I am super thrilled about is the bkr bottle which is a glass water bottle and I'm really hoping that it motivates me to drink more water because it is something that I really need to do.  I also love the mystic bar necklace that is made up of stone. The one I received is howlite and it promotes calmness and enhances intuition.

How cute is the ready, set, create art kit?! I can't wait to use my creative skills (which are not pretty) to create something so cute for my room or maybe my living room. I have no idea what to do with it though so if you have any suggestions of any quotes or an idea for what I should put on my canvas let me know in the comments below!!

Have a great weekend!
