The Royal Blowout  






I know as a mom, I do not always have time to give myself the "royal" treatment, when it comes to drying my hair. I try very hard not to fall victim to the constant ponytail...but sometimes, I am not going to lie...it happens!! 


Being the "modern mom" that I am, I refused to throw in the towel...so I found a solution!


I was introduced to this amazing hair product by my fabulous hair stylist! It's called "The Royal Blowout". It gives you the look and feel of a salon blowout, with out the salon. It has UV protectant and is color safe!


For the ultimate blowout, this ultra-lightweight mist smoothes even the worst behaved mop and speeds up drying time as well.  It also repairs split ends, nourishes, softens and strengthens the hair, giving it healthy body and shine.


It's a little pricey at $42, but I promise you, it is worth every penny. You do not have to use a lot, so it will last you a long time. 


To use:
Spray on damp hair from mod-shaft to ends, go section by section to blow even straighter.


About the product line:
Oribe, the eponymous product line from one of the most influential hairdressers of all time, defines luxury in hair care.

Dressing for a holiday party...  

Do you have holiday partys to attend in the next few weeks, and you want to look good, but you do not feel like spending tons of money on a new dress??
I have a solution for you. Bring out some of those short sleeved dresses from summer, add some tights, and a cardigan or boyfriend blazer and you are all set! Celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow have been wearing the boyfriend blazer over dresses for a while now, and I love the look!




Want to spice up your ensemble with out spending a lot? Here are a few inexpensive ways to look festive this season without breaking the bank:













1. wear a fabulous nail polish in a sparkling red or metallic



2. throw on a fun headband with some bling (j crew, nordstrom, forever 21)


3. carry a metallic handbag or clutch


4. wear a festive shade of lip gloss (MAC Dazzle Glass)


5. throw on a jeweled scarf (forever 21)
