Day 3: What Makes you Happy?

5 Mar

What makes me happy??? Hmmm, at this very moment, I actually have to think of things that make me happy. I’ve been in what we call a funk lately, and this weather is not helping, I need to snap out of it.

Trying to catch up with the March blog challenge, is actually making me stop and reflect on my life. So I must admit, I’m glad that day 3 is making me stop and think about what makes me happy.

After pondering for a couple of minutes, my brain started to come around and I was able to compile this list. I have a feeling that I could’ve kept going, but I’ll give you a sneak peak at my top 10.

~my niece and nephew without a doubt make me happy

~sunshine and warmth

~the ocean (for my Rhode Islanders you’ll appreciate this, the minute my car ‘hits’ the tower on Rt.4, my body becomes at ease)

~ watching Pretty Little Liars on Tuesday night

~ reading my magazines

~ my ‘nephew’ Riley. I miss having a dog so much

~ my kids at school. They truly make me smile

~ having a good workout

~ spending time with my family. They mean the world to me.

~ being healthy

What are some things that make you happy?

Aside

It’s like the ocean in a bottle

8 May

Even after having the Keratin treatment done in the past, I love that I can still get my curls back. This product made my hair almost exactly like it is when I’m at the beach. I really liked how it had that salty, beachy feel and look but yet my strands were still soft and manageable. I did notice that after each day that I used it, I had to make sure I used a little bit more conditioner in my hair to get the knots out. When using this product, I tried it with both wet/damp hair and letting it air dry, as well as using it on my already dried hair. This is when I liked it the best. I actually ended up with a fuller look and bigger curls. I also liked that when I needed to ‘touch up’ my strands for at night, the heat from the curling iron really made them stay in.

This is definitely a product I will continue to use and recommend. I wouldn’t use it every single day, but definitely on the days that are rainy and humid. I have now relearned to love my curls.

Thanks Glamour for allowing me to test out this fabulous product!!!

You can find it at your local Sephora

First day of using the product. I towel dried my hair, sprayed the Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray and then scrunched my hair with a diffuser.

On this day, I sprayed onto my damp hair and used no diffuser. This is just letting it air dry.

This one is my favorite. I blew dried my hair like normal, with a big round brush earlier in the day. I then sprayed the Bumble and Bumble onto my dry hair. After, I scrunched it and added some hair spray. When I got home from work and needed to get ready for later, I took my curling iron, and just grabbed big chunky sections of my already then curly hair and wrapped it around the curling iron. Once you are finished, run your fingers through the curls to loosen them up, add some hair spray and voila! Beachy waves.
