Miracle in a bottle

After graduating college my amazing parents went “tough love” on me and decided it was time to cut me off. Subsequently all “extras” that I had once thoroughly enjoyed were cut; which included highlighting my hair. To cut cost I darkened my hair, attempted ombre, and then went completely au natural. Until recently I had not touched my hair in almost two years! eek!

Unfortunately, your natural hair has a tendency to get oily faster so by regularly highlighting it you dry it out which subsequently adds body. After two years of limp hair I decided it was time to take the plunge and go back blonde so I could get my volume back. While at the salon I told my colorist to “dry my hair out.” Laughing at this odd request she introduced me to the AMAZING Oribe Dry Texturizing spray.

Oribe is a miracle in a bottle! It is dry shampoo, and texturizing spray. What that means is you get days of non-oily hair but lots and lots of volume! I introduced it to my mom who now uses it daily and has extra bottles for back-up, should one ever run out.

It is a bit pricey but I promise, seriously promise, you will not be disappointed! I am really picky at what I spend my money on and this is definitely worth every penny! What is even better is it comes in a travel size, so you can throw it in your purse for those days you need extra boost or as a sample to try.

I hope you all try it and love it as much as I do! Let me know your thoughts on it!

Another Day in the Park

Yesterday I posted about my adventures in the park, now I want to show you what I wore.
I love having a great pair of skinny black pants. They are slimming, versatile, timeless, and comfortable. Everything a pant should be. If you don’t have a pair I recommend browsing the selection at Nordstrom. They have a wide variety of styles, materials, and price points. You can wear these with heels (like I did here) or with sneakers for a day in the park! They really are such a great piece to add to your wardrobe.

A day in the park

Brice and I have made it a point the past few weeks to enjoy Dallas. We have been exploring parts of the city we have never been, eating at different restaurants, playing various golf courses and discovering new parks. It has been a really fun process as it is easy to get stuck in a routine and forget all of the unique things your city can offer.

Klyde Warren is the new park in Dallas and it is situated perfectly in the middle of Downtown and Uptown. We decided to check it out for lunch since both of us had never been. My favorite part was being surrounded by all of the happy people who were enjoying food from the nearby food trucks, playing mini golf, or running with their dogs. The grounds will eventually have a restaurant, outdoor concert pavilion, and a complete dog park. I have an idea I will be going back a lot in the near future as Brice and I are welcoming a new, furry addition to the family. More details on that later 🙂
