I like to call my Monday's "Manic Monday".
Because I'm normally:
A.) Sleepy
B.) Wishing it were Sunday Funday again
& C.) Realizing I HAVE to wash my hair.
I can help A. by drinking a Zenify and I really can't help B. So I bring to you my next blog post which refers to C. on my list of Monday blues.
WASHING HAIR! I absolutely HATE to wash my hair, it takes FOREVER! I can usually go about 3 days without washing and normally if I curl my hair when it's freshly cleaned, as it gets dirtier the better it looks! You can accomplish that by using products that don't weigh your hair down and cause build up.
I'm not going to lie, I usually don't buy the same products twice so what I'm recommending to you means - it's the best thing since sliced bread... well, fat-free sliced bread!
Shampoo & Conditioner:
L'anza - Healing ColorCare
Let me just start off by saying, "I CANT WAIT for my newly purchased S&C to run out so I can go back and buy this product!". It smells like fruity pebbles and lathers up SOOO well!
How I normally use it is I wash my hair with the shampoo really well, rinse, then repeat the shampoo and let the lather sit on my hair for a good minute. Only use the conditioner once in the shower and let it sit for a few minutes. It leaves your hair silky smooth with a fresh feeling. I highly recomend the ColorCare line, but if you're needing to target something else chances are they have it.
Check out their website to find a salon in your neighborhood that carries their line of products.
Root Lifer:
Brocato - Rootfix
I can't style my hair without this! Most root lifters cause grease and build up, but this baby works like a charm! Spray it on your roots while hair is wet to create amazing volume.

Heat Protectant
Moroccan Oil - Treatment
I am obsessed with this product! It does absolutely everything it says it'll do & then some! I use a pump of the oil and put it on my wet ends before blow drying. It helps protect your lovely locks from the damaging heat and also nourishes your hair leaving it silky smooth. I also sometimes use this as a finishing product. PLEASE note you do not need to submerge your hair in it, you WILL become a greasy mess! Only a little goes a long way.
These are the items I use when primping my hair. I hope you learned a thing or two and are ready to bring on the week!
Happy Monday's!

FIRST blog post!
I wanted to start it off with this weeks beauty obsessions and new buys.
1. NARS - Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Pop Life
What I love about this is the pencil's color goes on buttery smooth but has a matte finish (which I'm very into right now). It stays on pretty well, not the best but is so worth it. You can layer to make it as bright or subtle as you would like. I bought it in Pop Life because it's not a true red, this season is all about the bold bright red lips... I, myself can't sport the red so I opted for this.
This little disco stick (GaGa) of sunshine costs $24 and is in a ton of different colors.
Can be purchased at Sephora or Nordstrom.
2. TOO Faced - Perfect Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner in Perfect Black
I'm not going to lie- I am not a fan of waterproof makeup, normally I find it dull and flaky. BUT this changed my whole point of view! This eyeliner is AMAZING I can not express to you how easily it glides on and the color it gives and does not fade! I was shocked! Go and BUY it! The best $18 you'll ever spend!
Can be purchased at Sephora or ULTA Beauty Stores.
3. Nars - Optimal Brightening Concentrate
This little guy is amazing! The price tag is a tad steep, but if you're like me and don't wake up all bright eyed and bushy tailed.. then this is for you. There are little specks of shimmer that help make your skin look more awake and youthful. Its reminds me more of a serum which is great if you suffer from dry skin.
It's $72 and can be purchased at Saks or Nordstroms.
LAST but not least!
4. Milly - iPhone Case
LOVE my new Milly iPhone case! Received tons of compliments and she has several great designs.
If you would like to pick one up go to Nordstoms or Bloomingdales.
Hope you guys loved my new finds!
Have a great weekend!
