Buy travel size

A while back on the blog, I talked about how I buy travel size toothpaste for my kids. That is not the only thing I buy in travel sizet. With so many hair products on the market now, I find it difficult to decide what’s right for me. I love trying new products. I love hearing blogger reviews on IG or influencer recommendations… But sometimes it’s difficult to know if you’ll get great results with a new product.

There is nothing I hate more than buying a full-size and it just doesn’t work for you! I either end up giving it away or throwing it out. I decided a while back and I’m done buying regular sized products  unless I absolutely love it. I buy travel size. I Like doing this for a number of reasons.... I think my hair is better when I switch things up regularly, I waste less and overall I spend less.

Full sized products I buy, morracan oil and Sebastian hairspray. Everything else is travel size.

Because I have very thick &  long hair, I really only wash my hair twice a week. That means most of the time the products I use regularly are things like  dry shampoo, texturizer and hairspray. Things like serum or a blowout cream last a long time for me. Travel size are perfect! When I’m in the market for these kinds of products I love to cruise the aisle of Ulta. Ulta has a great selection of smaller size and travel friendly hair products.

Amazon is also a great place to find travel size products.

I have been loving Dry Bar brand travel set. I have bought it two or three times over the past 2 years. It comes with shampoo & conditioner as well as styling products. I almost always buy it for an upcoming trip and then continue to use the styling products at home even after I use up the shampoo & conditioner.

Favorite Everyday Shoes

Favorite Kicks I bought these shoes about a year & a half. I LOVE them. I stalked these shoes at my local DSW, I looked up outfits for these shoes on Pinterest. I did my due diligence.  Needless to say, I have already gotten my money worth and they are still kicking! I bought mine at my local Store. You can find them online HERE . These are Dr. Sholl’s brand. They have memory foam and are terrific for walking all day. Not to mention, they are a pretty reasonable price point, especially when you consider how often I wear them! I wear them with jeans, leggings and shorts. I’ve even paired them with the occasional relaxed dress. What I love most about them is that they are as comfortable as my running shoes, but they take it up a knotch with fashion & style.

Elementary School - - Must Haves

Well, it’s that time again. It’s about to be back to school. This year looks different, but regardless of what your school is doing this fall there are things you are going to need this fall. If your house is like mine, school supplies and craft supplies are running low.  Between finishing school at home and quarantine... we are making due. Here in GA, we are starting back to school as normally as can be anticipated. Masks included, if possible. My elementary age kiddo is pretty good on clothes, but definitely needs somethings to start the year. These are a few things that I have bought or will be buying in addition to the required school supplies. First, as a third grader... she needed a bigger backpack. Lands End is my very favorite place to order back packs and lunch bags! They are wonderfully made and hold up so well. My kids love the prints. The website allows you to filter the size of the backpack based on height. For me, this makes shopping for a backpack SO much easi...

Italian Cheese Ball

I blogged and did a IG live recently and made a cheeseball. You can see the blog post here. Cheeseballs are a fantastic item to serve at a gathering. They are easy, appetizing and unpretentious. You can make them any flavor to fit what you are looking for. This last weekend we were swimming at a friends house and I wanted to bring something for us to snack on. I made a Italian flavored cheeseball. Think of the flavors of an Italian sub, but in a cheeseball! So good. I like to mix my cheeseballs in an electro mixer... but that’s not necessary. It just needs to be well mixed. Ingredients: 2 finely chopped peperocinos 2 finely chopped cherry peppers 1 block of softened cream cheese 1/2 packet of Italian dressing (dry) 1/4 cup Parmesan Coating: 1-2 tablespoons of dried parsley 2-3 pieces of hard salami, chopped finely (blotted w/a paper towel to remove extra oil) 1/4 cup Parmesan Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least one hour before serving.
