Blonde Haircare

If you follow me on Snapchat and/or Instagram, you might have seen my recent rant(s) about my hair. I know, I know…hair probs = first world problems. But let’s get real: if you’re a woman, you know how it feels to live with a cut/color/style that you hate. It’s the worst. I have a total love/hate relationship with my blonde hair. What I have realized is that 1. I cannot have root to ends blonde color. It just does not work because I feel like I look like I am wearing a wig. 2. The tone needs to be cool and bright. I have been every shade of blonde. Big Bird yellow? Yep. Granny gray? Yep. Mixed with some burnt orange…so lovely!! I see beautiful blondes on Instagram, Pinterest, etc. and while I have been trying to achieve my dream blonde for three years (yes, THREE years), I am routinely unhappy with the tone, application, whatever. I have thought about traveling to get it done as a last ditch effort…I’ve done hours upon hours of research to do it myself, but I’m too much of a wuss for that. So I have an appointment scheduled for next week to do something different. I don’t know what yet.

Back to my point: I hate the way my hair looks in this video. F&*$ing hate it. But these hair products are ah-mazing and have not failed me. Hopefully you can look past the Barbara Walters hair style and not-so-great lighting and pick up some great damaged/blonde hair care tips. 

Thank you for reading (and watching)!

a few ways that getting dressed/fashion is spiritu a few ways that getting dressed/fashion is spiritual:

1. experimenting with what you wear can help you see yourself in a different way & provokes inspiration.
2. Getting dressed in the morning is a way to have fun by expressing your beautiful soul for everyone to see. 
3. when you feel confident in what you’re wearing, you FEEL good.

my style evolution: I used to wear a lot of black & shunned expressing my femininity with the clothes that I wore because I was following trends. NO MORE. now: give me all the feminine LEWKS and colors 🌈

on motherhood & embracing femininity 💖 During on motherhood & embracing femininity 💖

During the first few months of my Z’s life, my body & soul felt burnt out. looking back, it was hard (and still is!) to prioritize just taking a few deep breaths each day. totally not trying to sound dramatic like so many Oprah IG captions 🤣 but it’s the truth.

during a meditation session recently, my intuition called out and invited me to reconnect with my feminine side. I realized I had abandoned much of this ‘side’. this is where the journey of activating my divine feminine energy began for me.  I’ll be sharing bits of my re-discovery here in hopes it will help you overcome the same and step in to your wholeness. 🤍

by wholeness, I mean not DOING IT ALL. being intentional & redefining the feminine experience. 

some of the words I have reclaimed include…

emotional, ease, wild, & healing 

do you have words to describe your feminine energy?

one year ago ✨8 months pregnant & we’d just mo one year ago ✨8 months pregnant & we’d just moved from CA to AZ 🌵…& it was one of the best things we’ve ever done. 

reflecting back on the past year has put into perspective how critical taking the leap and moving to a new place has been for my personal growth and development, and if you’re thinking about moving, this is your sign to do it!

the change of environment has been SO beyond magical for many reasons…it’s taken me out of my comfort zone, given so many new and exciting experiences, and expanded social connections. 

🤍10/10 recommend, even when you’re super pregnant 😜

Even with other clean products, my scalp was not happy and it’s such a relief to find a product that WORKS that isn’t medicated or full of crap ingredients. so excited to share with y’all as I have always shared my scalp/hair journey and finally feel like my scalp is THRIVING 💖

this look is one of my faves as it doesn’t take much time and it shows off my natural hair texture. 

…the sea salt & texturizing spray from @beautybyearth is a game changer - it does exactly what the name says AND it’s a fab clean hair product 💖
