Life is the Journey...be the best you x2

It has to be said... Dry Shampoo does NOT leave your hair clean! 😳🤷🏼‍♀️ It simply dries up the excess oil & deodorizes your hair. 💯🤪 If you use it liberally, brush it thoroughly then style your hair...it can Look 👀 like freshly washed hair, But it’s not clean! I’m a new fan of dry shampoo... I fought the trend for way too long for a few reasons... 1. I hated the White/dull cast it left on my dark hair 2. It just made a dirty head, dirtier! When I was extra Sweaty Betty from a workout session or hot flash central... I had to resort to hats. I couldn’t get the wet to dry well enough...it always looked like a greasy clumpy mess. I now have those things under control (turned out my hot flashes & extra sweaty workouts were from a negative reaction to Food!) So...I’ll spray in a little dry shampoo Before my workouts or going to bed, it helps soak up any oil as it’s produced! I also use it for a little Volume! For my fine hair, it needs a little boost...so a little spray spray at the roots during the styling session Helps a ton! Below, I posted my 2 fav kinds! You can find all my fav hair products & tools over at the shop... I pulled it all together for you. Link in bio https://www.instagram.com/p/B5A0aUWBKNa/?igshid=32dklr62ecfm

I worked out, #duh I do that daily! But I don’t always have time to shampoo, condition, apply products, blow dry & style my hair. Today, was no exception. I did the works yesterday to my hair, I had only 30min of strength intervals I got sweaty and gross I applied the dry shampoo before my workout...to soak up the oil/sweat as it was produced. I let the fan do a little work on the style save...after a quick shower, I used the heat to dry the rest. Sprayed a little more dry shampoo, brushed it out thoroughly...making sure none of the hair was clumped. Then I curled it. And of course I sprayed a little finishing spray...I’m a girl from the 80s, I know how to use hairspray!!! As you can see, it looks great! Maybe not as bouncy or shiny as it did yesterday when it was freshly washed, dryer & styled, but not bad for a day in the wind! https://www.instagram.com/p/B329OwgB-mU/?igshid=z0c27j00vue0

I didn’t believe this to be true...until despite all my weight loss efforts, I was bigger & more unhealthy. I thought it was calories in and calories burned. I followed al the rules, but I ignored my body’s rules. My body was exhausted & confused. I thought if I want at the gym for at least 20 hours a week, I was going to die. I ignored the need for sleep, laughter, no inflammation, emotional support, O ignored all the signs and symptoms... Well, I’ve come a long way, I’ve realized what I was doing want working and I had to head on a different direction... I listened to what everyone else said, I started listening to what my body says... I had to lose a few habits that weren’t serving me...emotions eating, over exercising, being a cardio junky, and the wrong people or treatment from others. I had to teach myself putting my health & well being was a service to others. When I feel good, I can serve more people & I can do it with a smile! My focus began to be what I truly could control, sleep, water intake, reducing stress, eating foods that make me feel good, my attitude. It’s changed my life! My focus was weight loss...I became ill & my weight increased. Focusing on me health...weight loss just happened! I’m grateful for the lessons I’ve learned & the people I connected with to help me figure it out!

Back to natural 😉. Achieving a “Natural” blonde look is difficult. It’s bd we just 1 shade. Both clients get 3 different shades to make it look as natural as possible. The first Client got an all over color to lighten the roots (and cover the greys) then we do foils of a beige blonde & a light blonde... 2nd client got a combination of fouls and balayage. For controlled color placement and a more natural summer/fall grow out. Both services take about 2.5hrs, both give similar results, both have me come to their house 1 during nap time, the other between appts! 1st color will need touched up in 5-8weeks. 2nd color, will grow out for 4-6 months. Your color maintenance is based on your goals & your schedule. 🤷🏼‍♀️ https://www.instagram.com/p/B0y9jc-BSO2/?igshid=854hzs9bf78z

Change isn’t easy but it’s worth it! I’ve been at this a really long time, but I never saw the results. Mostly because I didn’t understand my body and I was trying to follow the “rules” I discovered #dietsaredumb #rulesareforfules and that my body has all the answers. I had to adjust my relationship with food. I had to deal with my emotions and find a better way to cope and celebrate. I had to learn exercise was a reward rather than punishment for a bad diet.(I once exercised 2-3hrs a day...now it’s more like 3-4hrs a week!) I started putting myself first. I created habits and rules of my own, based on me and my needs, goals and priorities. And I got results! I followed the #131method and I got #131results I’m proud of myself, but this isn’t the finish line. I’m also intrigued...how much further can I go on this journey now that I have clear directions. Working out makes me a better me...for the next 107 days, I have my workout plan. My journey to my best life is gaining momentum, the next phase is about to begin... And I don’t want l go it alone... I’d love for you to join me. https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Pe3FuhWIW/?igshid=17oxqkj07djlf

This beautiful face! I love #Prom2019... I love doing special styles & working with the girls... especially Prom-age girls. I tell the #truth. I tell them the things no adult says. I’m honest & truthful but not graphic. I tell them the things that I wish someone had told me. I’m not a parent...#notmychallenge I have many purposes & goals buts parenting...wasn’t want of them. But I get to still be an inspiration & confidant to girls & women. Life isn’t easy...you can’t be all things. So, I help by being truthful & lifting women to a higher standard. I am being the example & the change I want to see. If we help each other our burdens seem less. Don’t be afraid to let someone help...even when you Think you don’t need it.
