HOTD: Breakfast at Tiffany's Inspired

I originally had this look a couple weeks ago but the pictures somehow erased from my phone so the front shot is from the first day I wore this and the back shot is from my second attempt.

I have a "stacked" cut with side-bangs so I can't simply just tie my hair up. To do so, I need pins, clips, and a ton of hairspray.

This look came to be for a few reasons:
1. I wanted my hair out of my face
2. I wanted to have some fun
3. I was inspired from a combo of the last scene of Breakfast at Tiffany's and a tutorial from Eleventh Gorgeous

First, I brushed my hair back and took a handful, gave it a twist to create a small bump (I am a Jersey girl, after all), and kept it back with a couple of pins. Then I split my hair that was still down in half and tied them into pigtails. Finally, I sprayed and sprayed and sprayed...and then I sprayed some more. In fact, I actually posted on Facebook my fear of bursting into flames due to the amount of product in my hair...lol :)

This was a quick and easy way to play around with my short hair...plus, not only did it do it's job of staying out of my face but I also received several compliments on it.

On a sidenote, I want to apologize for my absence over the past few weeks. Things have been (for lack of a better word) crazy, however, I do have ideas for new posts so please stay tuned and as always, thank you for visiting my page.

Review: Organix Moroccan Argan Oil

Organix is an natural brand that is paraben and sulfate free which is what made me want to try this out. I really thought it would help my hair but after a few weeks of use I think it actually harmed it.

Initially, I used both the shampoo and conditioner together and could already tell a difference with the first use. After washing my hair felt unmanageable and stringy. I wasn't able to blow it out and had to straighten it immediately after (something I haven't done in a while). Over time I noticed that my hair started to feel thin and look limp, in fact, it's texture changed all together.

The only thing that I did like about this product was that it smells so good but that's not enough to keep me coming back. I'm glad I started with the smaller sizes because I don't think this is something that I'll be using again.

Note: I purchased these products with my own money. The opinions expressed in this post are those of my own. I have never accepted any kind of compensation in exchage for a review. For mor information, please check out my Disclaimer.

Check In Time!!!! New Haircut

I styled my hair for the first time last night since getting it cut and I think that I actually like it. The problem was when it was blown out you couldn't really see the different layers but now that it's been straightened, it looks a little choppier.

When I go back next month for a trim I'm going to see if she can make the "stacks" stand out a little more.

New Hair!!!!

It's funny, I never liked getting my hair cut which I why it was always long. Now, especially with my two year old, I look forward to it. It's a rare hour that I can sit back and close my eyes.

I honestly have no opinion on the length as of yet. some moments I like it and others I feel it was a mistake to get it this short. Basically it's chin-length in the front, and a little shorter in the back. The stylist "stacked" it, meaning the under part of my hair is longer.
What I do like is how quick and easy it is to style.

Gift Spotlight: Revlon Essential Styler

One of my favorite gifts this year was a new blow dryer. It's not much but it meant the world to me, mainly because my dad picked it out.

A couple weeks ago he and I were out shopping and I mentioned that I had to buy myself a new hair dryer. I had completely forgotten all about that until Christmas morning when I unwrapped my gift. My mom told me he picked it out himself :) To me that was so sweet that he remembered (especially since I did not...lol).

To some people it might just be a basic blow dryer but to me it means the world :)

Oh, and if you're wondering about the quality, it's pretty good. Not only did it dry my hair quickly but the attachment that hooks on made it easy to do a blow out which meant I didn't have to go crazy with my flat iron.

Thanks, Dad :)
