Floral dress date night
Hi loves! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. Honestly, Tom and I had plans to do a bunch of things around the apartment and we ended up catching up on sleep and relaxing most of it instead! Yesterday it was so rainy and I love nothing more then having the windows open and listening to the rain, its SO calming. So overall we had a great weekend even if we didn’t get done the things we wished to do, there is always next weekend 🙂

We did go out Saturday night for a little Mexican dinner in town. I decided to get dressed up in this cute floral sleeveless turtleneck dress I bought that has an open back (pictures above). I decided to wear a cute fitted, strappy, crop top underneath it to complete the look. I also did a fun braid in my hair to change it up from my usual down and wavy look. I got my dress at a little boutique in the city but I found a couple cute ones that have the same sort of style that I found here:
I am wearing gold ones in my picture but I also have the silver ones that I love!

Lilac Festival & New Hair
Hiya Dolls!
I have been slacking big time lately. I just wish I had unlimited amounts of time to really post all the fun things I have planned out! Hopefully that will be changing soon though. I hope you are all having a great week and happy hump day! I thought I would share some fun pictures from this past weekend. I went back home to visit with my family and celebrate Mother’s Day! In Rochester they were having the Lilac festival, lilacs were not really in bloom but I just love all the vendors (and the other flowers) and it was a 70 degree day so why not? I love this denim dress I found at Gap the other day, and every new item in the store was also 40% off so how could I say no?!
Sisters and my bestie ❤
Going blonde!
Finished look!
Selfie to try and capture the blonde outside. I love how it came out!
Just had an amazing Italian dinner to celebrate our Madre ❤
Don’t know what I would do without these two!
Enjoy the rest of your week, we are only 2 and half days away from the weekend (yes I am counting lol)

Snow Day Outfit
Hi loves!
I hope everyone had a great weekend and Happy Monday :). If you were on the east coast I know you were most likely snowed in! I loved having a snowy weekend. Tom and I just stayed in and watched movies and cuddled, my favorite thing to do on the weekends when its nasty outside LOL. We also got a chance to make a bunch of healthy meals and juice a lot. It was crazy on Saturday and then Sunday came around and the snow stopped and it was so sunny and nice out, so we decided to do a little photo shoot. I love nothing more then wearing my giant warm Sorel boots, big comfy sweaters and scarves. Tom got me this scarf in the pictures for Christmas, its made of recycled cashmere from a woman who hand makes them all to order at a cute little shop in Peekskill. These mirrored sunglasses are so great, you must check out ZeroUv.com, they have awesome prices and really cute options. I also thought it would be fun to show off one of my favorite hairstyles. I just love braids (especially fishtails!) and they are such an easy way to add a little something extra to any outfit! I hope you all have a great week and enjoy your Monday!

Bun curls!
Hi dolls! Happy hump day! I love that we are half way through the week, feels like it should be Friday, but hey I’ll take it!
So I am always looking for new hairstyles that are quick and easy ones. I have been using this one super easy method for quick (no heat) curls and thought I would share. My hair is long enough to do this but I would think even with your hair a bit shorter it would be doable if you used bobby pins to keep the buns in place. I LOVE easy hair styles because I never seem to have time in the morning to do anything to labor intensive LOL.
I took some pics of one of my favorite, ever so easy, hair styles. The bun curl. I wash my hair at night, blow dry it, then put it up on a twisted bun on top of my head (right after I finish drying it) and go to bed. You can leave your hair slightly damp but if you leave it wet it will not dry fast enough overnight so you would probably have to put a blow dryer to it in the morning for a bit. You simply just put your hair up like you would if you were putting it into a high ponytail, and then just twist the hair and then turn that twist into a bun. When I wake up I take the bun down, pull apart the curls a bit, tease my hair a little and add some hair spray. Just like that I achieve these curls:
I love how its a messy/beachy look so you don’t need to fuss with it too much. I did the one in my pictures with just one large bun but I have also in the past done a few different smaller twisted buns around my head to achieve a tighter, curlier look which was super cute as well.
Do you have a quick hair style that’s your go to?

My latest go to
I have recently converted over to a person who does not wash their hair every day. I know, some people think that is completely gross, my husband being one of them. I never thought I would be that person, my hair has always been such a greasy mess. I envied my friends who could go days without washing their hair and it would still look perfect on day 4.
I have always read that not washing your hair daily is healthier because of the natural oils that your hair creates in between the washes. Well, I could wash my hair at night and by mid-day the following day it would start to look greasy and stringy. So I would wash it every day.
I have learned that you can totally train your hair and by doing so it doesn’t get greasy nearly as fast. I now go 3-4 days without washing it and it ends up feeling fuller and so manageable for cute braids (which I love!). I looked high and low for a good dry shampoo to make this possible for me and tried so many without feeling satisfied. I bought some of the most expensive ones thinking that they would do the trick but they never did. I finally started using Not Your Mother’s, Clean Freak Dry Shampoo. It is seriously life changing!
Being a brunette I always found that most dry shampoos left a filmy white residue on my hair but this does not. My hair does get greasy in between washes (not nearly as bad as it used to though) and my go to, in between these washes, is Clean Freak. Not only is this a product that works amazingly well but you can’t beat the price. Depending where you buy it, you can get it for around $5-6! The can is pretty big too and even with how often I use it, it lasts me a while.
Here are some pictures I took with my hair on day 3 of not being washed.
Reviews.com has a fun step by step on how to apply dry shampoo and asked it I would mind sharing it with my readers. This can be helpful for those of you that may not have tried it yet! You can check out their review and find other great dry shampoos to try here.
I would love to hear what products you guys use!
What were your favorite dry shampoos and least favorite ones?
