Birds of a Feather

I've recently decided that I really like the idea of feather extensions that I have seen on TV and various fashion blogs. Rene on the other hand not so excited about the new trend that I have taken an interest in, feather extensions. They add a little something to your hair, aren't damaging, and aren't permanent. It's far better than me deciding to color my hair just because I am bored with it....and cheaper too!

So today I did a little research and realized that there are plenty of salons on Dallas that will put them in for you (though it takes all of 10 minutes) and they charge you anywhere from $30-$55 per set (3 feathers).

I was not about to pay that, so I kept looking and came across a website that I could by the hook and beads used for putting the extensions in as well as a set of feathers for around $15-$20!

I figured why not give it a try, you are able to put them in easily (small bead, hook and pliers) and then they are able to be washed, dried, and styled just like your own hair!

I figured going the natural colored route is best for the office....

So now I'll just wait for them to arrive, it's summer why not try something new right?

No "Poo"

No it's not what you're thinking....I have taken the "No Shampoo Challenge". I was reading an article the other day about shampoo and hair health, and yes I know that you aren't "supposed" to wash you're hair every day...but I always feel like my hair looks horrible if I don't wash it.

This past weekend I gave it a try, I washed my hair on Thursday night and then didn't again until Sunday....and my hair was really soft! So I figured I would give it a try for the week this week...why not?!

Keep in mind that you can "wash" your hair with conditioner or with just water....so that helps out with the sweatyness from working out.

So I washed my hair Sunday night, curled it Monday morning and it was super soft! Then re-curled it on Tuesday and it just held a nice wave and looked pretty good I was surprised....Wednesday I went slicked back into a bun because the roots were looking a little greasy but I got tons of compliments on my hair being up (which I never do at work!)....this morning when I woke up I had left the bun in overnight so I had lots of volume and waves it looked beachie and great...I did have to add a little dry shampoo just to take away from the super greasy look at the roots and pulled my hair half up....I think that tonight I will break down and wash it though and then just not wash again until Sunday....7 days would just be far too long to go without!

I could easily switch to the 2 days a week shampoo "schedule" unless of course I want that nice blown out look for a special occasion, what about you? How often do you wash your hair??

Recap #6-Getting Ready to Say "I DO"

I woke up bright and early the next morning for the wedding. Rene of course spent the night with the boys and planned to head off the boat for a bit before the wedding (photos from that to follow). I stayed in our beautiful room with the veranda! Who wouldn't want to wake up to such an AMAZING view on their wedding day?
I had arranged for room service to deliver breakfast so that I could lounge around, make sure that I had everything in order for the detail shots for the photographer and take a shower before heading down to get my hair done. After finishing up breakfast and taking my shower, I was greeted by a knock at the door from Mom and Dad just checking in before the ventured off the boat for a bit as well.

With some time to myself, I finally started to write my letter to my wonderful husband to go along with his gift and then rounded out the morning with a bloody mary watching a few Disney movies and it was off to my hair appointment!

Things started off a bit scary...A few bobby pins, twisting, and lots of hairspray to avoid a hair disaster with the wind and things started to come together quite nice!And after about an hour or so I officially had "bridal hair"!

After that I spent some time alone walking around the ship getting some pictures of the paintings, and areas around the ship that we would later be making sure to get photographs.
Then it was time to get some lunch...as I was getting ready to order some room service Kelly and Laura my amazing Maids of Honor showed up! We ventured off to lunch and grab some photos around the ship as well!
Then it was back to my room to have some champagne, a little time to breath and then next thing would be getting into my dress!!
