Hair Loss Solutions with Keranique

4-Step Hair Regrowth System

Hey friends! If you’ve been following along for awhile, then you may have heard me talk about my jacked up thyroid before. Haha. My thyroid likes to take periodic jumps into BOTH hyper and hypo land (Overactive and underactive). It’s super fun. Along with a whole slew of other fun symptoms, hair loss is just one of them. As a matter of fact, I can often tell when I’m getting a flare up because I start losing more hair than usual (and noticing more falling out in the shower. Ew.) Luckily, my hair isn’t super thin to begin with, but I definitely have areas of my scalp that get scarily thin at times because of this.

I’ve had the opportunity in the last month to try out the Keranique Hair Regrowth System (gifted). After trying this system out for a month, I wanted to share my results with you in case you are in a similar boat and on the hunt for great products!

Soft Glam Date Night Makeup Look

I must admit that hubby and I haven’t made a lot of time for date nights lately! Bummer! Busy life getting in the way! But we just celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary recently which called for a night out! I created a soft glam makeup look with some new products I was trying out, so I wanted to share my faves with you! Here’s my soft glam date night makeup look!

Combat Dark Under Eye Circles with ViiCode Oxygen Eye Masks

I have always had the worst dark under eye circles. As I’ve gotten older, they only have gotten more prominent. And I swear, they’ve gotten so much worse in the last two years. (Probably not a coincidence that my son is two years old, is it?) Ha! He’s probably part of the reason. Good thing he’s cute. Overall though, I’m just getting older and fine lines have been an increasing issue for me as well.

SO what do I do about my dark circles usually? All I really do about them is just conceal, conceal, conceal. I LOVE my concealer. And honestly, I don’t ever go without it. If I do, then I constantly get asked, “Oh honey, are you okay? You look so tired.” Or I will get: “Are you feeling okay? You don’t look so great.” Yeah? Well, thanks. I mean, mom life has taken a toll on me for sure, and at 36 years old, I’m not getting any younger. I also don’t pamper myself the way that I know that I should (and deserve). But I’ve finally found a product that helps with the dark under eye circles and also helps with self care!

My Go-To Hair Routine with Dove Hair Care

It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of hair and makeup products. (Clearly.) But the truth is, during the week I just want to use as few products as necessary to achieve a great natural look. I’m a busy momma who works full time and blogs on the side. I don’t have a lot of time for fuss and getting ready Monday through Friday when I’m dropping kids off, driving an hour to work, working, you get the picture! Whatever I can do to get ready quickly and still look presentable for work is a plus!

Makeup Organization: Inexpensive Ideas for Your Vanity

I spend a lot of time at my makeup table. I get ready there every morning, and I love that I have it in a room with my own space so that I can organize my stuff as I see fit! But whether you have a vanity, a desk or just get ready at your bathroom sink, you probably have a stash somewhere with all of your products. Having a lot of products can make things messy real fast, so makeup organization is key! There are so many cute organizers out there, but rest assured that you don’t have to spend a lot of money on the fancy ones. Some of my faves are from the dollar store!

Daryl Dixon Makeup Tutorial/Transformation

Who loves The Walking Dead as much as I do? I must admit, it’s my guilty pleasure!

Whether you do or you don’t, regardless, you probably know the name “Daryl Dixon”. He is the redneck-turned-hero that is a character favorite on the show, played by the lovely Norman Reedus. I loooooove him!

I’ve been really into trying some fun makeup looks for Halloween, and while all the other ladies are out there dressing up as Kardashians, sexy bananas, or what have you, I thought it would be fun to dress up as a dude – ha! Check out some of my other Halloween looks on Instagram!
