You’ll smell like lavender, peppermint and tropical flowers from head to toe.
There are so numerous redolent reasons to wander into Aveda, like the teas…

ওহ, আমার প্রভু! — each time I walk in there and someone’s like, “Would you care for some tea?” I’m like Billy the kid with how fast my had whips out for that cup. YUM!

But one of the best reasons to check out Aveda is their Shampure line. If you like lavender, peppermint and essentially anything that smells herbal and earthly, I think you’ll love it. আমি জানি যে আমি করি.

It’s a line of shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, body oil, and they also have a body mist now, all in the same scent, which is a potion of 25 pure plant and flower essences to soothe your senses.

The strongest notes to me are lavender, peppermint and ylang-ylang, which is a white, tropical flower from the Philippines (woo!), and they smell so cozy, calming and wintry together.

This is a terrific time of year for it. আমি এটা ভালোবাসি.

I really like this real-deal body oil for uber-dry legs.
The Shampure Shampoo and Conditioner ($14 each for decent-sized 8.5-oz. bottles) are my favorite things in the line. I use them once every other week as a clarifying set for my roots and my strands because they completely — like, I’m not kidding — get my hair squeaky clean.

Shampoo Ingredients:

Aqueous (Water\Aqua\Eau) Extracts\Extraits Aqueux:Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Extract, Aloe Barbadensis leaf Juice, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) leaf Extract , Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate , Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate , Lauramidopropyl Betaine , PEG-6 Cocamide , Dimethicone PEG-7 Isostearate , Babassuamidopropyl Betaine , Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hydrolyzed Wheat protein , Hydrolyzed Brazil Nut protein , Wheat Amino Acids , Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil , Glycerin , Tocopheryl Acetate , Ascorbyl Palmitate , Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride , PEG-30 Castor Oil , Polyquaternium-7 , Sodium Sulfate , fragrance (Parfum) , Geraniol , Linalool , Citronellol , Limonene , Sodium Chloride , Polysorbate 80 , Sodium Gluconate , Maltodextrin , Potassium Sorbate , Sodium Benzoate , Phenoxyethanol , Annatto (CI 75120)

If I feel my hair starting to get weighed down from deep conditioners and heavy products, I shampoo and condition with Shampure and my scalp and hair feel completely clean and refreshed afterward, and I have volume for days. It won’t weigh your hair down.

I can’t use them all the time because they can be a bit drying, depending on how much moisture your hair craves (mine craves a lot), but if you’re searching for the occasional deep cleanse, this combo gently removes all levels of buildup.

I think it would also work well if you have fine hair.

I also use and love the Shampure composition Oil, which is $30 for a 1.7-oz. bottle. You can use it on your scalp, your hair, in the bath and directly on your skin.

It’s terrific as a body oil on damp skin, and it’s hydrating enough to deal with dry winter season legs (it’s a lot like Clarins Tonic Oil that way).

It’s LE, but you still might be able to find it in stores.

বিজ্ঞাপন

Sometimes after the oil I been spray my skin with Shampure Perfume mist ($30 for 3.4-oz.), which is limited edition and sold out online, but you might still be able to find it in stores. It’s a light body mist in the Shampure scent with a light dose of moisture.

next stop: California great beach waves by Playa
A good friend of mine transferred to Hawaii, to the island of Oahu, where she stayed for a number of years, as well as during all that time — years — whenever she went to the beach, she never went in the water, which just blows my mind!

Then again, I’m a water baby. I might happily paddle around on a surfboard all the time long (assuming it’s in warm water, though, since I don’t do freezing surf!).

বিজ্ঞাপন

One thing I’ve always liked about the beach is the tousled beach hair, as well as new Playa, a new SoCal hair care line, has five products to provide you Cali beach waves without any type of warm styling. So, basically, beach hair without the strike dryer. Or curling iron.

They utilize coconut water as well as sugar beet extract in their products, which variety from $26-32, so around Bumble & Bumble/Ouai as well as R+Co prices.

Most of their components — they state between 96-99% — are naturally derived, too. The dry Shampoo is the only one that doesn’t mention the percentage.

Playa hair!

I evaluated their five-piece system, which includes their everyday Shampoo ($32), very natural Conditioner ($34), Ritual Hair Oil ($38), unlimited summertime Spray ($28) as well as Pure dry Shampoo ($26), on as well as off for a month as well as got some quite excellent hair days, with my naturally wavy mop looking casually untidy as well as cool. It’s a great method to get a loose waves look.

It ought to be noted that the few times I went unintentionally ham on the unlimited summertime Spray, the outer layers felt crunchier than I’m utilized to, however you understand exactly how strange I am about my hair feeling soft. I requirement SOFT HAIR.

I blame everything those bottles of additional hold Depp Gel I went with back in the day…

Speaking of teen flashbacks…I like exactly how these products make my hair smell. It’s like that fresh, bouquet-stem scent from Paul Mitchell’s Awapuhi line, which I lived for in middle school.

My favorites in the line are the Ritual Hair Oil as well as very natural Conditioner, both of which feel light however pack a hydrating punch.

Couple things that have been assisting me in the mornings…

These may noise fundamental (they are), however they’ve been assisting me, so perhaps they can assist you too. First, I prep the coffee in the coffee maker before I go to sleep. I put in the filter, the coffee grounds, as well as fill the device with water, to ensure that when I come down in the morning, all I have to do is press the “On” button (which is just about the most challenging thing I can muster).

I believe my device may even have an automatic timer feature, however I typically keep the coffee maker unplugged many of the time (don’t ask), then plug it in in the morning.

Second, best when I get up — like, actually as my foot touches the floor — I make my bed, since I saw on somebody’s Facebook feed (can’t keep in mind whose), however they published a speech of this man who was speaking about exactly how when you make your bed very first thing in the morning, it provides you something you can cross off your listing best away as well as get your day started on the best foot.

Just two bit accomplishments to propel you with your day.

Yay, spring! ? It’s almost here, as well as the indications are showing. ?? Granted, it truly didn’t feel like spring at all this week since I had to mummify myself in several layers every time I stepped outside, however the world is starting to get up after its slumber.

I hope the weather condition is nice sufficient to spend a bit time outside there today. I’d like to go for a walk with you. I like going for walks on the weekends. Or perhaps we might just sit on a park bench in the sun for a few minutes as well as read.

Which reminds me…

Girl, if you haven’t seen Black Panther yet, go see it. Hands down, my preferred comic book movie ever, however I don’t just believe it’s great for a comic book movie. If you like action-packed stories as well as strong women, stunning sets as well as costumes, complex character arcs as well as authentic dialogue as well as villains that don’t just dislike whatever since “they’re evil,” go see it (and I’m usually not even a fan of marvel movies). I spent half the movie marveling (haha) over the makeup, as well as this in-depth look at the illumination as well as makeup on the set was my preferred article this week.
“Over the past decade, post-production CGI innovation has provided editors seemingly unlimited power to modify scenes that have already been shot. No such luck for illumination as well as makeup: if a scene is dark when it goes into post-production, or someone’s makeup isn’t completely fit to their skin tone, software application can only do so much. even worse, since today’s cameras are so insanely accurate, even the tiniest makeup slip shows up on screen. ‘Some of this stuff you wouldn’t see with the naked eye can be spotted by the camera,’ states Siân Richards, who was Chadwick Boseman’s personal makeup artist on the film.”

While we’re on the topic of Black Panther, this is exactly how Oscar-winning makeup designer Joel Harlow (he won for 2009’s star Trek) produced the scars on huge baddie Killmonger, played by Michael B. Jordan.
It started with a body cast as well as great old-fashioned red pencil!

(Last Black Panther story, I promise.) Michael B. Jordan’s hairstyle in the movie is currently trending.

Speaking of hair, does it truly keep growing after you die? Is it healthier to avoid shampooing? This hair scientist tackles six typical hair myths.

Someone discovered a few of George Washington’s hair in an 18th century almanac. Yup, we have a few of the fabulous Founding Father’s elegant mane. Which leads me to wonder, “Um, why?!”
Apparently, keeping a lock of hair from somebody you admired, like a president, wasn’t weird back in the day. এটা ছিল শান্ত. In the 18th as well as 19th centuries, locks of hair were kept as keepsakes to provide to friends, charming partners as well as the relatives in fee of your family’s hair wreath (yes, this was likewise a thing).

It’s happening… A matte version of MAC Fix+ will be hitting shelves soon. Boom.

These 11 mascaras get mad like from reviewers on Amazon. I wanna try the one called “It’s So Big.” (Side note: get your mind out of the gutter.)

OK, I’m off to go get a drink of water now since I’ve turned into a person who sets alarms on her phone to remind herself to chug H2O every hour.

Basically, the air’s been crisper as well as drier than usual lately, as well as it’s kicking my skin’s butt.

The last one for 2017!

1. wintertime sunrises

They’ve been epic here in NorCal lately. Red, pink, orange and violet-tinged clouds nearly every morning. The other day I ran outside at 6:30 in pajamas, a down coat, wool socks and flip-flops to take this photo because 1) #noshame, and 2) the sky looked like a sci-fi Van Gogh painting.

My world is forever changed.

This one is from Etsy seller JackalopeClothing.

3. The real techniques Contour brush ($8.59 in a four-brush set at Target)

It’s b.o.m.b. for blending under-eye concealer.

I’m normally a “blend with your fingers” gal when it pertains to under-eye concealer because of the whole body heat thing making it a lot more pliable, but I recently found this brush at the bottom of a drawer I was cleaning out (long story, but I lost it a while ago), and now I remember why I was all about it for so long.

Here it is with some bottles of MAC Fix+.

The incredibly soft tapered brush head fabulously feathers out the edges when you use it with under-eye concealer, so it looks like real skin. It’s part of a four-piece set of face brushes for $8.59 at Target ideal now.

4. Homemedics total comfort Ultrasonic Humidifier warm & amazing mist ($79.99)

For years and years I heard that sleeping with (next to, LOL) a humidifier is meant to make it so you catch fewer colds. I poo-poo’d it, but then I got one, and man! – দিন রাতের পার্থক্য.

Well…I got sick first, and then I starting using it, but I used it every night when I was sick this week, and my nose and throat didn’t get sore or dry out, and and I coughed way less than usual, so I slept better and got over my cold quicker.

This is the one I have from Costco.

5. Doing core exercises in the morning

I’d been doing them in my HIIT class for a while (but I generally cheated and half-@ssed them), but now I do them for real in the morning.

If you don’t have any core strength (ME), these feel like torture for the first week — I’m talking absolutely dreadful — but now I’m addicted to how good they make me feel. My back feels so much better than it used to and my hips and hamstrings don’t feel as tight. Also, weirdly enough, I’m a lot more flexible, especially when I rotate my spine and turn left and right.

I’ve only been doing them legit for a few weeks, and even my pants fit a little better. It takes me about 10-15 minutes in the morning.

Here’s one of the videos I use. It’s a 10-minute Pilates core workout with a different core step every minute.

It’s BRUTAL, but it’s over quick, and before you know it, you’re drenched in sweat and done for the day.

When I first did this one I couldn’t do half the moves, and I’m still nowhere near being able to do any of them perfectly yet, but it’s a process…
