Slightly out of my comfort zone with this outfit but loving it! I don’t wear skirts often, but I loved the print of this one and had to try it on. I’m so pleased I did as it fits really well on my hourglass shape and brings a bit of fun to the overall look. Both pieces linked below for you - they’re currently 25% off. I’m wearing a size 12 in the tshirt and a size 14 in the skirt.

If you need a new setting spray in your life, this is the one for you. It does feel a bit like hairspray for your face but it does an amazing job at keeping your makeup in place, especially in hot weather. It’s L'Oréal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Spray and I’ve linked it below for you.

This Trenery diamond quilted jacket has been the MVP of our trip to London and Scotland. It’s a roomy fit - I’m in a size 12 but could’ve sized down to a 10 - although the extra room allows for layers underneath while still feeling comfortable.

Welcome to day one of my curly hair series, where I’m going to teach you how to love your curls!

We’re starting Day One with wash day. All of the products are listed below.

The night before wash day, I apply Bettyquette hair repair - a super hydrating hair oil - to the ends of my hair. This make an excellent overnight treatment.

Wash day products:
Alfaparf Milano Curl Enhancing Low Shampoo - linked
Genetix Hair repair fix
Alfaparf Milano Curl Enhancing conditioner - linked
Tangle teezer hair brush - linked
Define curls hair brush
Revitafoam
Oribe curl control silkenin cream - linked
Schwarzkopf volume powder and hairspray

My tips for styling curly hair on wash day:
💧Curls need LOTS of moisture. You want your curls to be almost at dripping wet stage when you’re styling them. Add as much water as you can!
👩🏼‍🦱 Flipping your hair upside down and then scrunching your curls will give the most volume from the roots
☀️Air drying your curls will get the best results, but this does take time. If you’re using a hair dryer, make sure you use a diffuser attachment and hold it above your curls, not in your curls, to reduce frizz.
👎🏻Don’t touch your hair at all while it’s in the drying phase. This will help keep your curls looking like curls!
🦀 Use your hands like a claw when you’re scrunching and styling dry curls. This will keep you curls looking fabulous and defined.
