1 Dress, 2 Different Ways of Wearing It! {My Style}

You might remember this grey dress from one of my Chicago outfits that I wore this past summer. I usually try to wear my clothes in many different ways depending on the season. It is amazing how you can completely changed the look of the outfit with changing a few minor things.

Since it is cooler out I wanted to show you what I did different: For this outfit I added black tights, black leather shoes, a fake black leather jacket with a grey handbag.

I don’t know if any of you know this, but since our wedding Brandon and I have been living at his mom’s house because our new house actually flooded the day we bought it. Since we are in the middle of fixing everything up, I don’t have my usually wardrobe because a lot of it is still boxed away.

Repeating outfits and changing up how they look have been a necessity around here. Although it is hard to imagine, I am beginning to like living a little more simple. It is amazing how much faster I get ready in the morning when I only have a few things to choose from.

Now I must ask, what do you like about the way I changed up this grey dress? Have you ever felt like completely changing a statement peace in your wardrobe?

DIY Detangler / Leave-in-Conditioner (My Most Used Hair Product)

Imagine this: You get out of the shower put a comb through your hair and it actually go though your hair. Then you start to style your hair and it wants to corporate. Better yet, your daughter gets out of bath time and doesn’t scream when you comb through her hair any more. There are not more rats nests and life is simpler. Doesn’t that sound nice? Well… I have the solution, “The Prosante DYI Leave in Conditioner”.

I can’t tell you how many times a week I use this product not only on myself, my family members as well as every single one of my clients. For to many years I was spending a fortune on ready made leave in conditioners and detaglers. I personally think that everyone should use some sort of leave in conditioner everyday. It will truly make a huge difference in your life when it comes to styling your hair and the over all condition of your hair. Our hair really takes a beating from day to day, everything from the blow dryer, curling iron / flat iron to the sun, the wind to the harsh chemicals in the air.

We really have to do everything we can to take care of our hair. Our hair is one of the things we are going to have to live with for the rest of our lives and we should start treating it that way.

Here is a short video showing you just how to I made this detagler!

I love Shaklee’s ProSante Hair Care line and use all of these products everyday.

I used an almost empty Replenishing Conditioner bottle (With 1/8 cup to 1/4 cup of conditioner left in it.) Warm 7 oz. warm water and the top from an empty Long-Lasting Finishing Spray. Any spray bottle with work with all of the same proportions.

I took the top off my empty hair pray bottle, washed it out and put it into the new detagler.

It is truly that easy!

This is defiantly one of my top ten favorite products. You just spray and comb!

*Helpful Hint ~ Start combing from the bottom/ends and work your way up to the top/scalp.

Not only do I love the Replenishing Conditioner as a detagler but I absolutely love it as a regular conditioner as well.

Do you want to have soft and silky hair every single morning? Are you looking to simply your life and make it a little easier?

Sock Bun

When I first saw the sock bun, I must say that I wasn’t that impressed. I didn’t know what the big deal was. To me, it just looked like a big bun on top of your head. Then,, after I learned how to achieve a good sock bun I can see now that it is still a big bun on the top of your head, lol. Although It is very cute and comfortable. You can make it look like a perfect ballerina bun or you can do the opposite and have a more controlled messy look.

With my hair being curly I went with a more messy look today but don’t worry, you can still get the same or a similar look with straight hair.

Here is what you will need:

A old sock

Scissors

Bobby pins

A ponytail holder

Here is the video showing you just how I do my sock bun.

I have to be honest with you, the first time I heard of a sock bun I didn’t know that use used an actual sock. Have you ever tried to wear a sock on your head a sock bun? I have to admit it is a lot of fun to do and even more fun to wear.

Until next time, I am

Cleaning Your Tongue

I talked before about keeping your teeth clean, fresh and white. What I didn’t mention was the the importance of cleaning your tongue as well. We spend so much time brushing and flossing our teeth to help keep our smiles big and bright, but nobody even mentation’s our tongue. Our tongue is kind of like the keeper of our mouth, everything that goes into our mouth has to touch our tongue. It is only natural that we should have to clean it regularly as we do our teeth.

Here is a short video explaining just why it is so important.
