Take Your Hair To The Next Level with Nexxus

Disclosure: Post sponsored by Mirum Shopper but all opinions are my own. Spring is almost here which means no more hats, no more hoods and no more excuses. Are you ready to take your hair to the next level with Nexxus? When the weather warms up, my hair frizzes out and acts up. I work in a professional office, so messy buns aren’t always a way to complete the look. I need my hair to behave so it looks just as polishes as my work clothing. Nexxus is a tried and true brand that provides salon-quality hair care that’s worth the cost. Nexxus products use advanced scientific methods to deliver the precise protein blends that replenish hair and bring it back to life. On my last CVS trip – I actually picked up 3 sets for my household, so we’re going to talk about them and why I needed all…

Let Your Style Bloom This Spring

Disclosure: Post sponsored by Mirum Shopper but all opinions are my own. The seasons are changing soon and it’s almost time for Spring! With each new season comes time to refresh my routine when it comes to my skin and hair. Usually when I swap from Winter to Spring, I lighten up on the hydration just a little. I don’t need the thicker moisturizers and hair care like I do in the Winter. I recently stopped by Albertsons to update my Spring lineup, so I wanted to share the items I picked up to get ready for the new season. I’ll show off my haul and talk a little about each one. Spring time means a little more skin showing! Dove Exfoliating Body Polish is whipped, rich and fragrant. I get softer skin with a light fragrance that I adore. This works to buff away dull, dry skin plus it…

Winter Hand & Nail Care With iHerb

Sponsored by iHerb This year marks my 7th year blogging. While I started off as a beauty blogger, I soon found my niche within the beauty blogging community and focused heavily on nails. Over the years I’m asked about products I use to maintain healthy nails with all of the polishing and removal of polish I do. Acetone on nails over and over is no joke. This week alone I’ve already gone through nearly 20 fl oz of acetone. A little over a year ago I discovered iHerb, best described as a ‘one stop shop’ and global leader in bringing the best overall value in natural products. They carry some of my hand and nail essentials, so it’s easy and convenient to restock the items I need to keep my nails and cuticles looking their best. Within this post we’re going to talk about items I use regularly as well…

Throw Your Hands In The Air With Confidence #PersonalCareWin

Disclosure: Post sponsored by Mirum Shopper but all opinions are my own. While everyone is going nuts for pumpkin spice, I’m prepping for football season! What’s better than an afternoon gathering of friends? Even the friends who aren’t into sports look forward to coming over for the fun. Being the only woman in the house, I make it a mission to make sure each guy is throwing their hands in the air with confidence when their team scores. My son is almost 13 and it’s my job to make sure he has all his essentials. From body wash to hair paste – he never goes without. I taught him at a young age that good hygiene is super important, whether you are hanging with your friends or staying at home with your parents. Over the weekend we made our usual Target stop for snacks and drinks, plus took advantage of…

Dove Self Esteem Project

Disclosure: Post sponsored by Mirum Shopper but all opinions are my own. Self esteem is one of those things in life that can feel difficult to hold onto or gain. For some it comes and goes, others have it and flaunt it, and some feel like they’ve never had it. For many of us, our self esteem is reflected by who we surrounded ourselves with at a young age. The smallest words can shatter that self esteem or it can build it up. I’m 36 years old now, but I still remember things people did or said, or even the things I said to myself when I was 15 that shattered my confidence. Some of those things took me years to get over. I remember looking at photos like this (I’m the one on the left) and back then I thought I looked chubby. What? I was around 102 lbs…
