Let's Talk Hair!!

Remember how I told you I am a lipstick junkie?  Well, I'm also a hair product junkie!!!
I can't seem to help myself.  I love a good hair product.  And boy do I have some good
ones to share with you!  I have thick, course, slightly curly and frizzy hair.  It can definitely
be unruly at times and hard to tame.  Especially when I want it to go straight.  So, over
the years I've had to figure which products work the best on me and what doesn't.  I know, so does
everyone else.  But, what I've learned in Cosmetology school and talking to tons of people
about their hair, is that they start to give up on the hunt of a product that can actually change
the entire look and feel of their hair.  I say, don't give up! Don't ever give up!
Here are just a few that I love, that just might help you



I adore the Pureology hair line!  EVERYTHING!!  My favorite is the
Super Smooth shampoo.  All their products are for color treated hair and have
zero sulfate in them.  Sulfate is a detergent that is loaded with salt and makes
the shampoo lather like crazy.  It also can fade your color quicker!  Gasp!!
Did you know that you were washing that salon color right out of your hair?!
Trust me!  Use zero sulfate!



The Super Smooth conditioner is a must



About once a month I use Pureology's clarifying shampoo.  If you get product build up, problems with
hard water or chemically treat your hair, this shampoo works wonders to strip off all the
nasty stuff and leave your color perfectly in place.




I recently purchased this at a hair show and have fallen in love!  This Hydracure is a masque
for your hair.  If your hair is thirsty for moisture, this does the trick.  Your hair will feel like
silk after this!  Love it!



When I blow dry my hair straight, this is the only product I put on my hair.  I apply
about a dime size when my hair is wet, then blow dry.  After it is dry, I apply another
dime size to dry hair.  This product is amazing to tame frizz.  I have fought frizz all my
life and this stuff is awesome!



When I wear my hair curly, I love Pureology's Real Curl.  It doesn't leave my
hair feeling crunchy and sticky at all.  Remember how we wore it in the 80's? 
The crunchier the better right?  This gives a very natural soft curl that I love.



I've recently discovered the Deva Curl line.  It also works wonders on curly frizzy hair. It
actually gave me a fuller curl, not just a wavy one.



This spray helps with frizz as well.  I just bought a sample of the shampoo and conditioner, so
I'll let you know what I think.



When I want a lot of volume at the crown, I love Pureology's Root lift.  Actually,
any root lift will do.  It really does amp your hair up and sometimes you don't even
have to tease your hair, this product works that well.

There you have it! Everything I love and truly use on my hair.  By the way, Pureology in no way paid me to say all these nice things
about them.  They don't even know my little head exist!  I just love to pass on things that
I love and know works wonders.  Hope you try some of these things and if you have any
questions about hair or products just leave me a comment or email me.  I'd love to help
in any way!  Hope you all are having an awesome week!!

Easter '11

Yes, I'm alive!!!  I have not fallen off the face of the earth, nor have I been kidnapped!
You know how it is?  Sometimes, you just need a little break from things.  I needed one
desperately!  I haven't gotten on my computer for 2 whole weeks!  Shocking, right?
Well, it did me some good. 
So, let's try and play catch up around here!

We had Easter at our house again this year, and we had such a wonderful time with
our family.  My cousins and Aunt and Uncle came, and I would love
to see them all the time!  They are all so much fun and I love every one of them.
So get ready for some pictures!



The dining room table all ready for the family



Sorry for this blurry picture.



Don't you just love this table cloth?  My momma let me borrow this one.






My daddy is the official meat cutter in our family!  It doesn't feel like Easter
without a ham around here.  We buy the butt end and drench it in Dr. Pepper and wrap it
up with foil and put it in the oven for about 2 1/2 hours and voila!  Delish ham!
You can't screw that up.






My man and my brother's youngest, Micah.  She is the cutest and funniest thing ever!



My sister and I making  Southern Livings recipe for Lemonade Sweet Tea.
It was so refreshing and yummy!



My sweet handsome boy, Ethan



My fabulous Aunt LaTrelle, and cousin Natalie

The newlyweds, Maddie and Evan.  They are the sweetest couple

Kailey and my mom making sure we have enough eggs.  Kailey did not participate in the egg hunt.
I guess 12 year olds want to be the helper now.



The troops await the go ahead to hunt!



Why do little ones like to play in dirt?
She had a ball in the mulch.



Sweet cousins Libby and Natalie



Kailey loves her cousins!!!



I love these ladies!  Aunt LaTrelle and cousin Dolores Ray


Everyone was very happy with their loot.  We had a few eggs with some money in it, and the older ones
wanted those eggs in the worst way.  We had such an awesome day!  Hope yours was great too.

Blessings,

He Arose!

This has got to be the cutest thing you have ever seen!!

Happy Easter!!

I say it all the time!  I can't believe how fast this year is going by!  It's Easter!!!
We are having the family at my house this year and I can't wait to see everyone and visit!
Here are some great pictures of some last minute ideas you could do for your table
or just to have fun with the kiddos.




































*************************************************************************
Easter egg hunts, baskets, candy and food are all fun.  However, we are truly celebrating
that Jesus rose from the tomb.  The veil was torn and He gave us the ultimate gift!
He took on your sin and my sin, and if you know this as truth, you are forever
changed!! 









Jesus paid it all.  All to him I owe.  Sin had left a crimson stain.  He washed it white as snow.

Blessings to all,
