DevaCurl Hair




I've had a few request on doing a hair product post for my curly hair so here it is....

Have you heard of DevaCurl yet?  This is what I've been turned on to and using lately to define my curls/waves better and yield on the dryness and frizz.   AND I'M LOVING IT! :)

Keep on reading to see how I use each product shown above.  Please be sure to click on the links to get the full info on use and product ingredients. 



First I wash my hair with the No-Poo cleanser, Read HERE.


Second I condition my hair with the One Condition, Read HERE.



Then I apply the amazing Styling Cream which is how I was introduced to DevaCurl, with a sample.  Read HERE.  



Once a week I do an intense moisture treatment with the Heaven In Hair, I leave it in for an hour.  Read HERE


DevaCurl is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates 
- Phthalates

I hope you clicked on the links and learned a little more from the creator of DevaCurl.  It truly has thought me how to better dress my curls.

Oh how I love the Summer weather her in Virginia so far.  It hasn't been too hot but I have a feeling I may be speaking too early.  Here is a look I wore last week while out and about running errands.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Summer so far.  :)

Spring Trend



I must admit I'm not so much the fan of print pants but I've gotten a little bug maybe because the price was a score.  Still no reason to invest in trends (my opinion) but what the heck....it makes me feel like Spring is actually here. :)




How's the weather in your area?  Have you bought anything that screams Spring? ....please do share.

Heart+Soul Wedding Event 2013





This past Wednesday I had the pleasure of attending the 1st annual Heart+Soul wedding event, your one stop shop for all things wedding.  From fashion shows (bridal dresses & Spring trend styles) to dancing, sipping cocktails, indulging in utterly tasteful hors d'oeuvres and chatting with all the incredibly talented vendors.... This is truly an event you don't want to miss while prepping for that big special day.  Most of all the information and inspiration could be found here.
