My Top 5 Hair Products

My top 5 favorite hair products! 

As a hairstylist, I'm always playing around with different products and trying out new things. These are my top 5 favorite products of all time that I can't go without. I understand that salon products can be expensive. However, when clients ask me "What should I spend my money on that will really improve my hair?",  These are my top 5 that I show them and that I believe are worth every penny.

1- Pureology Hydrate Shampoo & Conditioner. 

I can't get enough of this duo. As a hairstylist, I'm using all sorts of different shampoo's & conditioners on my clients. And yes, some do work better for others. However this dynamic duo is incredible. I truly feel a difference in the hair after ONE use and so do my clients. Every time I'm washing my clients out, they always say "Whatever you're using smells incredible!". The best part is this products contains Tea Tree Oil in it. So you can feel the tingly sensation on your head as it helps hydrate and condition. It's pure heaven!

2- Loreal Professional Next Day Hair. 
Hello perfect texture! This product I use on every single client. I love this product because it really does add the right texture to the hair and looks great whether you wear your hair straight, wavy, curly, or air dried! It doesn't leave a sticky residue because it's a dry formula, meaning when your spray it into the hair, it's not wet. It feels like nothing and that's honestly the best part! 

3- Bed Head After Party
This product has been around for a while and there is a reason why. This is a smoothing product. It's basically lotion for your hair and smooths down all those baby hairs and split ends that no one wants to see. Plus it smells amazing so who doesn't like that. I love this product for those days that I air dry my hair because it makes my hair look a little more sleek and shiny vs dry and messy.

4- coconut oil
Coconut oil is amazing for just about anything you can think of. I especially love it for hair. It's hydrating and all natural. It's perfect for deep conditioners. Especially when trying to nurse your hair back to health from previous chemical services or if your hair is really dry. The best part is you can buy it anywhere. (:

5- Bed Bead Oh Bee Hive Dry Shampoo

Everyone needs a dry shampoo in their lives. If you're one of those who wash your hair everyday, stop! Dry shampoo will be your new BFF. I love this one in particular because the smell is Devine, and it dries matte!! I hate dry shampoos that leave that powder residue. By far one of the best out on the market. Every client that buys this is literally obsessed!

If you're wondering where you can pick up these products, Ulta Beauty carries all of them (except coconut oil). I would highly recommend just trying one out!

The 3 best products for dry skin.

It's wintertime and we all know what that means: DRY SKIN...

But, have no fear friends I have finally found a solution. Well, technically three!

I am so excited to share with you my three favorite products to use in treating and most importantly preventing dry skin.

Flora Bodycare's Natural Body Scrubs

We have seriously ranted and raved about these body scrubs from Flora Body care and I'm sure we'll continue to because they are the best ever! 

But honestly one of the best ways you can prevent dry skin is by exfoliating. Exfoliating removes the dead skin cells on the surface of your skin making it easier for your moisturizing products to really get in there and take care of your skin. So pretty much if you exfoliate regularly you will have healthy smooth skin! Who doesn't want that?!

One of the things I love most about this product is that it is made with 100% natural ingredients. I also love how gentle it is on my skin. I seriously use it from head to toe. 

TIP: Try and exfoliate your entire body 2 times a week. This will be key in preventing dry skin!

Also, be sure to use the code PUCKERUPSTYLE20 for 20% off your scrubs!

Tubby Todd Dream Cream

If you have not heard of Tubby Todd you simply must check them out. They literally have the best products on the planet! I mostly use their products on my little ones but I have found that they work just as well on me, so why not join in on the fun?!

This dream cream is probably my favorite! It is the smoothest yummiest smelling cream ever! Seriously though, the smell is pure heaven! 

If you are a mom/germ freak like me, you probably wash your hands more times a day than you can count. This of course drys the crap out of your hands. So I have found that this cream is key in helping my hands stay nice and smooth despite the constant hand washing taking place.

TIP: Apply to your hands every time you wash your hands. Or at least as often throughout the day as you can remember! I also like to keep one in my diaper bag to use when I am out and about. I wrote a blogpost a while back with more detail on Tubby Todd's products and how I like to use them on my littles so be sure to check that out HERE. 

HEMPZ lotion

I am absolutely obsessed with this lotion. It is so soft and creamy and there are so many different yummy smells to choose from. Honestly I want to buy them all! One of the things I love most about this product is that a little bit goes a long way. It may seem a bit expensive for just your everyday moisturizer but I promise it's worth it. And it seriously lasts forever. I think I have had this bottle for 7 months and I still have a decent amount left. 

TIP: This is the lotion that I put all over my body after I shower and also just when I need a little refreshing! 

Happy scrubbing and moisturizing!

We'd love to hear about other products that you guys love to help keep your skin silky and smooth, so be sure to comment below!

FabFitFun's Winter Box.

So this was my very first time getting a box from FabFitFun and oh my goodness am I impressed! Before I get into what I love most about the box I'll just give you a little info on what it even is!

At just $50.00 (if you use THIS link you will get $10 off making it only $40.00) you will get a box of amazing beauty, wellness, fashion, and fitness products hand-picked by the FabFitFun team. It will be delivered to you once per season. Each box is limited edition and contains $200 in retail value. You can cancel your subscription at any time as long as it's before that season's billing period, but I have a feeling you won't want to!

Now for my box reveal!

I was beyond excited when my box showed up in the mail. Seriously it was like Christmas all over again!
There are the most amazing things in this box.
A few of my personal favorites are the fingerless gloves. They are going to be so nice this time of year!
The earbuds and the reed diffuser (which smells like sugar cookies) are amazing.
The candlenut body creme is the best smelling body creme ever. No joke! And it makes my hands so very smooth.
Inside the fabfitfun magazine are a few other giftcards and coupons that are super fun!
And I am so excited to try out the cranberry colored nail polish and dermalogica products.
Okay maybe I didn't have any favorites... I love them all!

Besides the actual products the thing I love most about this subscription box is the surprise of each season's box. You never know exactly what you are getting until it comes, you just know everything in it is going to be good! It's something to look forward to and who doesn't love getting a package full of goodies in the mail!

I so hope I've convinced you to give it a try!

Let me start off by saying how incredibly grateful I am to have worked with such talented people! Jessica is one of the most kind, unselfish people you'll ever meet. I've had the opportunity to work with her a couple of times now and when she first told me about the shoot, I was super excited and honored to be apart of it. She is so creative and absolutely wonderful to work with. I had the pleasure of meeting Ashley and Lindsey and can I just say how fabulous these two women are? I can't believe how much ambition Ashley has! She has such a keen eye and knew exactly how to make us look good and achieve a good shot. There was no messing around! :) It amazed me to see Lindsey at work. She had boxes and boxes of these incredible decorations and she put it together in minutes. It takes someone extremely talented and creative to pull something this extravagant off in the little time that she had.  

Thank you to all vendors and creatives that made this shoot possible and allowing me to be a part of something wonderful!  

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Merci.

When I first saw Freshly Picked's moccasins I knew someday one of my little ones would wear a pair of them. 

While my husband's been in law school we literally have had NO money, but I've kept my eye on them, dreaming of buying a pair for my little ones.

A few weeks ago I was able to pick out Clara's very first pair and I was literally jumping up and down with excitement.  I knew that her first pair had to be the Merci ones. They are neutral, yet feminine and sparkly. 

The second I put them on her feet, I died. 

They were perfect!

The quality is amazing. I can tell they are well-made and will last her a long time.

In fact I hope she wears the heck out of them! 
It's also important to note that you can't go wrong supporting a business like Freshly Picked. They are honest, kind and seriously have the best customer service ever. 

Even though my sweet Clara isn't a baby anymore, I still like to dress her like one. I love that these moccasins help me do just that. They are dainty, soft, and comfortable; unlike all those chunky toddler shoes out there.

Let's be real, I could go on and on about how perfect they are but I'll let the pictures do that!

 

 

I have to apologize in advance, most of the pieces from our outfits are at least a few months old and are either not available anymore or they were bought in stores that don't have websites. I tried to link up what I could!
