Kevin.Murphy Full.Again Review

I was introduced to the amazing Kevin.Murphy hair product line about two

years ago... And I.Fell.In.Love! I love everything about this product line, from

the delicious smells of plant extracts and essential oils, to the true-to-its-word,

incredible performance. So right now I want to share one of my favorite 

products, Full.Again. 

Full.Again is a weightless, thickening lotion. I have fine textured hair so this is one 

of my hair's best friends! It has rayon particles that attach to your hair and 

create a thicker surface which makes your hair act thicker.

Here's how I use it....

1.) Squeeze out about a quarter size of Full.Again and rub it into your hands. Then

 rub it really well into your towel-dried hair, from mid-lengths to ends, as you
 twist your hair...this helps the product cover all the hair. You'll start to feel 
the product thickening your strands.

2.) Blow dry your hair until it's 100% dry. If I'm working on a client, I will

usually blow it out with a big round brush to get lift and movement for 

that "bombshell" look. For myself, I just rough dry my hair with my hands, flip

 my head over, brush it out, and continue to dry it upside-down. Either 

way works great!

3.) Enjoy your new, thicker texture! You can also curl it for extra fullness. I used 

a 1 1/2" curling iron and curled 1-2" sections. Then, lightly brushed out

 the curls.

Have you ever tried Kevin.Murphy products? Which are your favorites?

So, we built a hovercraft...

I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than building a

 hovercraft! It was a very simple model and just took the guys a couple

 of hours to make. Sadly, the craft only lasted about twenty minutes before the 

street had torn up the bottom. Nonetheless, it was a great first try and 

totally worth it!

Lip Tar Review

I recently bought a lip color by Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics and

I just wanted to share what I think about it and how to use it.

OCC Lip Tar is 100% vegan and gluten-free, and it comes with a little 

applicator brush. The color I bought is "Queen". I'd say it's the perfect pop 

of bright pink! I love it! The wearability is crazy long too... I applied it about 5 hours

ago, ate lunch, applied chapstick over it a few times, ate another snack, 

and it STILL hasn't budged. I have a habit of rubbing my lips together a 

lot and not even that has made it fade. So, to say the least, it's pretty much

my best friend now. I need one in every color!!

Here's how to apply...

Squeeze just a tiny dot onto the brush and dab it on the middle of 

your bottom lip.

Blend the little dot outward toward the lip line. Rub your lips together and

blend on the top lip. Once you have everything in place, let it set for 

a minute and you're good to go!

Buffalo Park Adventure

I have lived in this town [on and off] for about 6 years and have never been to

The Buffalo Park/Zoo. How did I let that happen? I loooove animals... especially

when I can pet and feed them! Now, granted, we were the only

adults there without children but in my opinion, it was well worth 

the 20 bucks we spent. Also, I didn't realize how big giraffes really

 are. I mean, look at the size of his head!

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

...it's good to have every now and then, especially after the crazy 

busy week I just had! By no means am I complaining about being busy.. just

relishing these laid back moments with my little family.

Florida!

You pretty much can't go to a beach town like Destin without playing mini

golf at some point! Unfortunately, I'm really terrible and came in last both 

times we played. Aside from that, it was a lot of fun. I always have a blast 

going on trips with this awesome group of people and get slightly depressed

 when it's all over. It just doesn't get much better than escaping the 

real world for a while with some of your favorite people... Spending the week

laying out on the beach and floating in the waves, grilling awesome food and

playing card games, and even working on a bridal party! If I'm going to work on

vacation, this is a great place to do it!! Sighhh.... Can we go back already?
