Hair Products Review #1

I GOT A PIXIE! And I love it :)

I just wanted to make a quick post on the products I use to style my new 'do'. I had a pixie before (about 5 years ago) and I'm so glad I got one again! Here's just a quick review of each of the products I use. (All can be purchased at Target as of 5/13/2013)

I bought the Cantu Shea Butter Pomade the day I got my haircut. I used to use D:fi brand pomade and I remembered that it make my hands feel greasy when I would adjust my style. This stuff, however, hardly makes your hands feel greasy, has a low shine (so it doesn't make your hair look greasy) and its extremely moldable. Its super easy to re-style your hair throughout the day, especially if your hair is monster think like mine. I also love the price: I got it for about $5!

This is Pantene Medium-Thick Anti Humidity level 4 hairspray (maximum hold). I'll admit, I absolutely hated this hairspray when I had my long locks because it would make my hair look super greasy when I would use it. But now, I love it because it can hold a sassy style like the photo at the top without looking greasy.

I just barely used this product today and I LOVE IT! Its the Aussie brand Aussome Volume styling mousse. Because my hair is so thick and heavy, a lot of volumizers don't work. I honestly can't think of a single one. This product is amazing at lifting my hair, something I've been looking for for a long time. It's probably the best internet-guided suggestion I've ever had. 


On another matter: I challenge every girl should try a Pixie at least once in your life especially if you've been wanting to do it but you're too afraid. That's the beauty of hair; it grows back. So if you're dying to chop it, do it! If you need a hand to hold while the stylist cuts off your flowing locks, I'll totally hold your hand! I was super nervous about chopping it, even though it was just a few inches, but I haven't regretted it even a little.

Getting ready for the day takes 25 minutes or less with my shorter hair.

7 minutes to shower
5 minutes to dry my hair
3 minutes tops to style
5 minutes to do makeup
5 minutes to pick an outfit and get dressed

Have no fear! Take the plunge! Chop it!!!


Thanks for reading!!!

Week 36 Pregnancy Update

I tried something new with my hair. What do you think? How Far Along? 36 weeks Total Weight Gain: 23 pounds Maternity Clothes? Yep! It's kinda sad though, Josh's shirts can hardly cover my tummy anymore! Stretch Marks? Tons! Although they're already starting to fade quite a bit. Sleep:  My sleep has been pretty good so far this week. Best Moment This Week: Going out to Costa Vida for our date night! Miss Anything? Nothing that I haven't already mentioned. Movement: Lots! He really hasn't slowed down since his peak at 28 weeks. My doc said he should slow down soon but I have a feeling he's just going to keep on kickin'. I think this might mean that I'm going to have a wild child on my hands further down the road. Food Cravings: Chili's bacon ranch quesadillas and their cookie brownie with ice cream on top. Yum yum yum! Anything Making You Queasy or Sick? Fish, eggs, and peppermint Gender: Boy Labor Signs: None yet! I think Lincoln i...

Lincoln 7 Week Update

I just wanted to write a quick update on how my little peanut is doing! Lincoln is getting stronger every day! He held his head up for a whole two minutes a few days ago and his stepping reflex is working like crazy whenever I try to make him bear weight on his legs. I've got a little body builder baby! He's starting to become more aware of what's going on around him. I'll walk around with him and he's always trying to look at everything, especially our bookcases. He just loves it! He's starting to hold onto toys! I put his baby keys in his hand and he held onto them for dear life! He's starting to get interested in different sounds, he's even turning toward them! As you can see, he's smiling now! He'll smile a lot when you talk to him in a baby voice and when you make cooing noises at him. He's making more cooing sounds himself! I think he's realizing that he has a voice.  Lincoln loves his daddy so mu...

Something Terrible Happened

By -
I'm not sure exactly how to start this post, but I know it needs to be written. I don't want to forget this experience even though it feels so painful. Last week, I was a little over 4 weeks along and my prenatal vitamins came in the mail. I was diligently making a pregnancy test chart to compare the darkness of the test lines from the day before. I was feeling so much better than I did before our pregnancy loss last year (the second line was visible for a day and then the line disappeared and my cycle started soon after) since the test line was clearly visible, even from an arms length away. The day after I started my vitamins, I noticed that my nausea had basically gone away, something I was thrilled about since I hate feeling sick like that. My skin started breaking out worse than it had all week and I chalked it up to pregnancy hormones. We had my in-laws over for Mother's Day and just before we started cooking up S'mores, I felt a wave of depression hit me. I ...
