    Laced Hair Extensions Review + Tutorial…

    Happy Friday Ya’ll!

    I am BEYOND excited about today’s post because it features my first ever video from my YouTube channel. I have been wanting to create fun video content for a while now + finally took the plunge. This may be a short one but plenty more exciting ones to come!

    ICYMI I have been OBSESSED with Keratin Hair Extensions for over a year now. My hair stylist got me hooked a year ago + I couldn’t imagine life without them ever since. A little back story, I have naturally fine, straight hair…making it nearly impossible for my hair to hold a curl even with a full can of extra hold hairspray (no joke :p it is that bad). Hair extensions have been my saving grace, allowing me to have my hair finally hold a curl + look flawless for events, outfit shoots + beyond.

    Now not all hair extensions are created equal. I first dabbled with clip ins a while back + honestly I couldn’t handle them haha I had the toughest time putting them in (after countless attempts) + they gave me headaches + hurt my scalp. After complaining to my stylist of how uncoordinated I was when it came to using clip ins, she suggested I try the ‘Bentley‘ of hair extensions as she put it, Keratin Hair Extensions. I mean if she compared them to a Bentley she had me in – hook, line + sinker!

    Clip ins are great for those who are beauty savvy in my opinion + like to constantly switch up their look. I was looking for a permanent solution to my fine hair + keratin extensions provided that.

    It’s important to find a great stylist with experience installing these kinds of extensions. They must match your color so they look as natural as possible + also cut and style them to fit with your hair. Your stylist will also place them strategically so they are hidden as much as possible to keep them looking natural. I often have people not even notice I have them.

    The process itself is pain free + easy. Your stylist uses a tool to melt the bond around your hair + over time the bond deteriorates from wash and daily wear so it falls out after 4-6 months. The duration the extensions last is dependent on how you take care of them + how fast your hair grows out. Mine typically last 5-6 months sometimes longer if I only wash my hair 3-4 times a week + brush my hair often to avoid knots + tangles.

    I personally love Laced Hair because the hair is great quality + the bond melts nicely making them flush with my hair. They also are available in a ton of colors to match your natural hair color.

    The keratin extensions allow for everyday wear + are low maintenance since they only need to be replaced 3-4 times a year. They can be pricey dependent on your stylist so just be prepared to invest a bit. I always say invest in your hair, it’s the crown you wear daily hehe :p

    Buxom Beauty

    Happy Monday Babes ♥

    I am always on the hunt for the perfect lipgloss (I am such a lippie addict – lipstick has always intimidated me, plus I have thin lips + am not a huge fan of the whole lining my lips then coloring them in with lipstick process :p) BUT one lip product I can always get behind is a great lipgloss! One brand I have been a fan of for years when it comes to amazing lip products is Buxom Cosmetics. From their unique kits that have everything you need to ‘pucker up’ to individual glosses that my purse is currently filled with…they have great shades, at a fair prize, that are amazing quality – win/win!

    So I know this isn’t the main focus of a beauty review but I have to say I absolutely LOVE their packaging! Their glosses are sleek, chic + a great size to fit in any of my going out bags. My personal favorites are their lip polishes that come in over 90 colors (without a doubt you can find a color that matches your mood or look)!

    They go on smooth + last me all day (and night) so I don’t have to worry about doing multiple touch ups throughout the day. They come in shimmer + metallic finishes and while they look great, they also keep your lips hydrated (my biggest struggle is dry lips because of my skincare regimen to combat acne – my skin gets dry quite often + that sometimes extends to my lips).

    My second favorite gloss? The Buxom Full On Lip Cream! It applies smooth, the color is rich + long lasting AND it comes in 20 different shades. My favorite part? It feels like butter on your lips! Who doesn’t love that?!

    This gloss has no shimmer BUT it helps plump your lips (no fillers required haha :p)

    Embracing My Curls with SheaMoisture

    *This post has been sponsored by SheaMoisture. All thoughts and opinions are my own.*

    #HairGoals for the win! Every gal wants a good hair day, the struggle however…finding the right products to get you there! Being a beauty influencer, I have tried multiple brands of hair care products from high end to drugstore brand + each had traits I liked but none of them had the whole package (as silly as that sounds). Luckily I found my saving grace…SheaMoisture!.

    I’ve discovered that their products work great on my wavy hair! My hair is not coarse but it does get knotty with my keratin extensions AND it is long, color treated + needs a ton of love, care + attention.

    What I love about SheaMoisture is that their products are affordable (I snagged mine at Walmart for under $20!!) but they work as great as some of the prestige brands. I tried the 100% Extra Virgin Coconut Oil Head To Toe Nourishing Hydration, Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Shampoo, Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Conditioner.

    All of the products are readily available at my local Walmart store or you can order online and pickup in store too. I love doing this at Walmart because it’s super convenient when you realize you are running low on product and forget to pick them up.

    The Curl & Shine Shampoo Coconut & Hibiscus + the Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Conditioner (LINK) have become my new go-to when I wash my hair. They help smooth my hair and avoid frizz, make my hair easier to brush through to avoid tangles + knots from my extensions AND they leave my hair with a shine as if I just left the salon. I washed my hair the day before I curled it and look at how shiny my hair looks a day later!

    The 100% Extra Virgin Coconut Oil Head to Toe Nourishing Hydration is great for when my color treated hair needs a little extra attention. It helps restore and hydrate it after a little too much bleach, chlorine or sun. It also smells delicious (don’t you love when your hair smells so good all you want to do is sniff it all day? Haha :P)! This product is also great to use after washing your hair and letting it air dry. I tend to wash my hair a day or so after I use styling tools on it and I feel like my hair is begging for hydration so I usually wash and condition and then follow up with a treatment like this one. I will allow my hair to air dry in order to give it a break from the heat for little while.

    Pampered At Parfaire…

    Happy Friday Babes ♥ 

    Last weekend I had a full on day of pampering at Parfaire Medical Aesthetics in Pasadena (because what better way to spend the weekend than with a little self love at the spa? :p) I have always been an avid believer in treating yourself, taking time to recharge + relax and to keep a healthy skincare routine going. My struggle? Having enough time to do all of that! Between work, blogging, events + travel, making time for pampering + recharging can be a challenge (do ya feel me?)…

    Luckily, my trip to Parfaire was a huge success because they have the perfect treatment for ladies on the go that need a refreshed and rejuvenated look in less than an hour with their ‘Red Carpet Lift‘! Think face lift but one that is non-invasive, feels good + is quick + easy with no down time…amazing, right?! That is how it got the name ‘Red Carpet‘ because you can literally get it the same day you need to head to an event (or even a red carpet perhaps hehe)!

    The results you get in under an hour are truly amazing – just look at one of their testimonials below (next time I am totally taking before and after photos)!!

    The treatment leaves your skin looking and feeling tighter, youthful and more radiant!

    While this can be done anywhere on the face, neck or body, the treatment is incredibly effective on:

    Crow’s feet
    Under eye bags
    Saggy eyelids
    Fine lines around nose, mouth, forehead and jawline
    Lax neck
    Double chins

    This treatment can also tighten and reduce loose skin on other areas of your body caused from liposuction, aging, and/or rapid weight loss. Pretty amazing right?

    See how the treatment works below!!

    Are you ready to get a little lift?
