Let’s talk hair!

Last week I was lucky enough to spend the day at Sassoon Salon in Costa Mesa. When it comes to my hair I’m pretty low maintenance, but I was due for a refresh. I’ve had long hair most of my life (aside from a few unfortunate haircuts) and plan on keeping it that way for now, but I’d been feeling blah about it lately. After a day being pampered at Sassoon I’m feeling much better and my hair is looking so much healthier, shinier and more natural.

Every month this year has gone by faster than the last, but I’m totally trippin’ that it’s the last day of November. I wanted to share some of my recent beauty and book favorites to end the month.

A good friend gifted me with a subscription to Bump Boxes and I’ve been loving discovering new pregnancy friendly products over the last few months. Two of those were this face wash and this face and body scrub. There are so many ingredients you have to watch out for in beauty products while pregnant, it’s nice to use these and not have to worry.

I’m excited for today’s gift guide with my favorite skincare line today. I’ve been using TULA all year and just love all their products. When I got pregnant I fell more in love with them because they’re safe to use during pregnancy, but they’re great for all ages and skin types. I have so many friends that have starting using them and say they’ve seen a change in their skin. I only want to share the best with you and TULA is at the top of my list.

I’ve been so lucky and have had a pretty easy pregnancy so far. No first trimester morning sickness or anything other than crazy fatigue and hunger, but it’s still been an adjustment. I was prepared for all the diet modifications and lists of foods and drinks that were off-limits, what I wasn’t prepared for was all the beauty products you can’t use. Obviously anything you put on your skin is absorbed into your blood stream, and you don’t want those things to harm baby. Luckily I’ve found (and already had a few) great pregnancy approved products I wanted to share.

Just a quick post to share some summer beauty favorites. I try to keep it as low maintenance as possible in the summer. Who wants to spend time under a hair dryer/putting a lot of makeup on when it’s so hot out?! I recently tested a few new products that I ended up loving and wanted to share.

Before I received these oval makeup brushes from My Makeup Brush Set, I’d probably been using the same old set for 5 years. This one is a game changer, I’m really able to blend my makeup and have even been experimenting with contouring…. something I was so intimidated by before.
