The Saga Continues

1 day till ECLIPSE!!! Nuff said.

Leave Aluminum to the Cans!

I just bought my first bottle of natural deodorant....EEK! So far it is working quite well, but I've also been in an air conditioned office all day. Most deo's active ingredient is Aluminum Salt which is also proven to cause Alheizmer's and other neurological disorders. People have been wearing it for years, but it is a toxin that is being released into your body (as many other daily products we use do). I have switched to sulfate free shampoo over the past year so I figured why not give this a go. Does this mean I won't ever go back to using regular deodorant? I don't know...ask me after another 97 degree day and I'll let you know my final answer.

Too Cute

Some things are just too stinkin' cute to pass up...right?

Brazilian Blowout

The new celebrity trend in beautiful hair is the Brazilian Blowout. I discovered this amazing product from my little 12 year-old friend. You know you are getting old when you have to find out what's cool from a 12 year-old...Celebs that get blowouts: Nicole Richie, Halley Barrie, Ashley Tisdale, Lindsay Lohan and supposivley my fav...Jennifer Aniston!

The procedure creates a protective protein layer around the hair shaft to leave you with frizz-free, smooth, shiney hair. It takes about an hour and a half to complete the whole process and will last around 10-12 weeks. The only downfall is the cost...it runs between $200-$300 here in Lexington and only a few salons offer it.

Here is a before and after picture:

I am going to give it a whirl two saturdays from now! I'll post before and after pictures. I am hoping to shave 30+ minutes off my daily straightening routine and not be so worried about getting my hair wet because I don't want to spend the time re-straightening it.

Cross you fingers that it's as incredible as everyone says it is!

Check out a youtube video of the procedure:

WICKED Realization!

Okay, so I might be behind, but the light just turned on in the cartoon bubble above my head.

WAKEY!WAKEY!

Kidd Kraddick featured this band on his "Music That Makes You Cooler" and I was instantly in love. WAKEY!WAKEY! features a very musical, dramatic, story telling sound. Check'em out here and let me know what you think. They will be performing at Covington's Mad Hatter on June 18th.

Canvas by Lands End

Okay, I know what you are thinking...Lands End...but check out this adorable new line from Canvas by Lands End. I am smitten with these adorable nautical pieces. I heard that the designer from JCrew went to Lands End so we should start seeing some great new pieces from there! Oh! And check out the Tretorns!

Rompin Around

I am such a fan of this new trend. Some Rompers I have seen are a little on the skanky side and only worthy of being a bathing suit cover-up. These Limited Rompers are so adorable and are on my MUST HAVE list! I think I should break down, give in, and buy myself the little one shoulder one.

Here comes the Bride

The past three weeks have been full of travel, memories, and exhaustion. The end of March started out with my sister-in-laws wedding. Jesse and I were so fortunate to spend a great weekend in Venice, fun-packed full of wedding festivities. From bachelor/bachelorette parties, rehearsal dinner, a beautiful wedding, and a rainy day locked in the house. Crystal was absolutely stunning, her husband to be was radiant, and our nephew Josh, was as studly as he could be as he walked his Mom down the aisle.
