Snow Day!

Two great things happened today.
1. My boss bought us all Pizza for lunch (literally my favorite food) because he didn't want us to have to drive in the rainy/snowy/slushy conditions
2. We got to go home EARLY because it was snowing so incredibly hard!!!!


So here I am on the couch with 2 kitties who think the snow is for the birds. It's still coming down and I'm already one hot chocolate in! There's a chance that I might get some of my thank you notes written with all this free time...but don't hold your breath!

I hope everyone finds some time to relax today...snow day or not!

Dry Shampoo Review

Anyone who knows me knows I'm not big on the whole showering thing. Clarification: In my mind, a 'shower' requires washing your hair, 'bathing' or a 'bath' means washing everything BUT your hair. I am all about being clean and fresh, but when it comes to washing and taming my mane, it's not always high on my priority list.

I learned many life lessons during my two years of living in the sorority house. One of the most important lessons I learned was to not wash your hair everyday. Now there were some times when I took that to an extreme...aka showering on Monday and not seeing the shampoo again until Friday. Whoops! I used PLENTY of baby powder to make it through the week, almost to the point where I was claiming "baby's bottom" as my signature scent. Bless. But then..I was introduced to a new angel friend: Dry Shampoo.

I'll have to admit that at first, I was not a fan. I pretty much stuck with the baby powder for the rest of college. But once I started working and realized that my coworkers (with babies) would most likely recognize my scent, it was time to give the dry shampoo another try!

So that brings me to the point of this post: Dry Shampoo Review! I'm going to give you the low-down on my thoughts and true feelings about the different brands of dry shampoo I've tried so hopefully you can find a love of your own!

 

Okay. So this was what I used when I was first introduced to the  dry shampoo world. And no wonder I didn't stick with it...it made my hair feel extremely gunky and only added more grease. I did try it again at a later date and still walked away unimpressed.

I tried this brand on a whim when I was at CVS one day and could not find one of my go-to's ANYWHERE! I've seen it at a lot of stores and decided I might as well give it a go. DISAPPOINTMENT PEOPLE! I basically sprayed more grease into my already greasy scalp.  I tried it again another day and still had the same result. Needless to say, if this was my only option I would result to washing me hair. THAT BAD.

I'm lumping my review of these two together since they are both Suave products and honestly the only difference is how good the Keratin Infusion smells compared to the regular. Both products got the job done, but it required a little more product than I would like and it was a real battle trying to get the white residue to disappear.  


THIS my friends. THIS is what really spurred my love affair with dry shampoo! A friend of mine was using the NYM hairspray and the bottle immediately caught my eye. The next time I was at the store I saw the dry shampoo and figured I'd give it a try. LOVED IT! Great smell and easily disappears. The only issue I had was that by the 2nd day of dry shampoo, I had some serious build up. But let's be honest people...no one needs to go that long without a shower. This is another one of my favorite products from NYM.



I think the name of this dry shampoo is so funny and fitting. I actually tried it for the first time this morning (because yet again I was out and couldn't find my go-to) and it worked like a charm. The smell wasn't too overwhelming and a little bit really did go a long way. I will definitely purchase this one again.


Last but definitely not least, the DOVE. Aka the MECCA of all Dry Shampoo!! I literally Kim cannot say enough about my love for this product. Props to my sister for introducing it to me. It is so light, yet absorbs any and all oil. The best part... it's only like $3 at Walmart!!! I rarely ever just buy one bottle. It smells SO good too. That just might be my favorite part! Even though my hair isn't technically "clean", it still smells super fresh. Yay!

For anyone who has made it this far, I sure hope you enjoyed this post!
