As I stated in my previous post, I am not from Oklahoma. I
am an Oregonian to the core. Ask me if I have webbed feet! ;-)
Anyways – I will be taking a month long trip home, with my
family, and I am starting to stock up on goodies to take with me.
Here’s what I have so far:
Thickening Serum and Thickening Spray.
I just had a beautiful baby girl in April! And in exchange for
her sweetness, I had to loose my hair I guess. My hair has never been this thin
before in my entire life due to these wacky hormones! So over the last month I
have been using the Thickening Serum religiously and I’m actually beginning to
notice my hair feeling a little thicker, a little stronger, and I don’t know if
this is coincidence or the product – but my hair loss has recently decreased greatly.
I use Thickening Spray all over (roots to ends) to give my
hair a thicker, fuller look and feel. It’s safe to say that the Thickening
Spray has been our best selling product for years and it truly helps those of
us who have fine or thinning strands feel better about ourselves.
Also – I’ve packed up some Tonic and Brilliantine.
Tonic is my favorite thing ever. It’s lighter than water so
it doesn’t weigh your hair down at all, yet conditions my hair and prepares it
for any product I will be using. But, really, the main reason why I love it is
the smell. It’s loaded with peppermint and rosemary and tea tree and lemon grass
– BAM! All my favorite scents packed in one little bottle of bliss. Also,
recently, I read an article about how peppermint and rosemary oils are supposed
to boost hair growth – wether you believe that or not it’s worth a try right?
Tonic nurtures the scalp – and a healthy scalp means healthy hair, which
provides potential for lots of hair growth, right?
Brilliantine is my go to for a little shine and a little
frizz control while still maintaining my messy hair looks. I will be using this
every single day while I am home. Fact. On my natural curls, my straight hair looks,
and on my curling iron curls - This is my “security blanket” of a product. I am
madly in love with Brilliantine. Fact.
I’ve also snatched up some Curl Reactivating Mist and a Curl
Conscious Nourishing Masque.
I have recently been experimenting with the Curl products
and I am, again, a big fan. In April, when I had “Baby Sister” I brought Curl
Conscious samples with me to the hospital – and let me tell you, I was feelin’
pretty darn good lookin’ in those new-mom-again photos.
At home, because we will probably be on the go most of the
time, I’m planning on my natural curl being my main look. Partially because I
am expecting (and hoping) it to rain the entire time I am home and I don’t want
to be constantly fighting the rain to keep my hair how I want it (true
Oregonians don’t use umbrellas haha!).
The Curl Reactivating Mist is something
I will be keeping in my purse for a lift me up on my curls. It’s great for a next-day revival or just a touch up on limp
waves. There’s a little hold – not enough to make me feel like I have too many
products in my hair but just enough to provide me some security when my curls
are feeling less that luscious.
The Curl Masque smells devine. And it provides the perfect
moisture I need to maintain my curls. So I am excited for this little
bit of luxury that I’ll be bringing with me.
Texture is my go-to for curl-making! It amplifies my messy
curly hair and helps me achieve the curl I want with no effort – unless you
count applying the product.
My Mom is a Crème De Coco fanatic so I will be using her
supply of shampoo and conditioner while I’m there.
I’m also bringing my La Bella Donna Anti-aging Hydrating
Mineral Mystique. It’s a mineral concealer, allergen-free and perfect for
covering up and enriching my flaws with minerals and vitamins.
And my La Bella Donna Scarlett Lip Pencil. It’s super soft,
and my favorite shade of red.
And now I’m going to see if I can pack all this, and my
clothes, and Lollie’s Accessories, and all the Baby stuff, and all the junk I feel like I have to bring! Wish my
luck! I’m going to need it!
See you soon!
(until I leave for my vacation!)
