See It.  When I was little, all I wanted was long, thick hair.  Unfortunately, I have fine hair that grows extremely slowly.  That means that I have to work extra hard to keep my hair healthy as I grow it out.  The longer I grow my hair, the more important it becomes to do everything I can to keep it healthy.  Luckily, the Zoe Report complied 10 Tricks Used by All Women Who Have Great Hair.  Some I already do, like avoiding heat styling when possible, but some I’m hoping to incorporate others, like sleeping on a silk pillowcase to avoid breakage.

Love It.  I’ve used Living Proof’s Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo for awhile & love it.  While I was in Ulta picking some up, I noticed the brand’s PHD Fresh Cut Split End Mender.  It promises to quickly seal & heal split ends for visibly smoother hair.  I was instantly interested & I must say, it lives up to the hype!  I apply a small amount to the ends of my hair after a shower, but before any other products.  I love that it’s lightweight & doesn’t make my fine hair look greasy, which is a problem with some leave-in treatments.  After drying, you can apply a little more to problem areas.

Want It.  My hair has never held a curl without lots of product & very high heat, but I still love a good wave.  The T3 Whirl Trio is a favorite styling tool of bloggers & stylists because of its versatility.  It has 3 interchangeable barrels of different sizes so you can create everything from beachy waves to tight curls.  The barrels are tourmaline & ceramic to help prevent damage.  It also comes with a heat resistant glove to protect your hands!  It’s kind of pricey, but is definitely on my wish list.

See It.  I have always struggled with falling & staying asleep.  There is so much going on during the day that my brain just can’t seem to slow down.  If you have trouble getting to sleep, try these 11 Things You Need to Sleep Better at Night from Elle.com.  From noise-canceling earplugs to PJ’s that keep you cool, there is something so help you get some shut-eye.  I seriously need the “smart” earplugs from Hush, available for pre-order now!

Love It.  There’s something so luxurious about sleeping on fresh, quality sheets.  A friend recommended Pure Beech sheets years ago & I was instantly addicted!  They are the softest, smoothest sheets I’ve ever had!!!  They come in jersey, sateen, & flannel, & a ton of neutral colors.  I have animals that love to get in the bed, so I prefer the white, which can be bleached if needed.

Want It.  I have drawers full of comfy, cozy sleepwear.  I obviously enjoy dressing up, but I spend most of my down-time in PJ leggings & a tank.  I love this shorts set from Cozy Zoe for spring.  The lightweight tee & shorts will be perfect for warmer nights!

See It.  Today’s list is all about my favorite meal of the week – brunch!  While I go out for brunch most weekends (I’m not a great chef & would rather relax), it can be fun to cook at home every once in a while.  For some easy & delicious recipes, the Daily Meal has 19 Brunch Recipes That Will Make Your Weekend So Much Better!  With recipes for everything from a pancake bowl to a kale & three cheese quiche, you’re sure to find something improve your weekend.

Love It.  Last weekend I brunched (yes, that is a verb, lol) with some great girlfriends at two different locations.  We started at Wine Country Bistro for the most delicious pancakes & ended up continuing Sunday Funday at Ki Mexico, where we had the most amazing mimosa ever!  I am now hooked on the hibiscus mimosa.  It’s so easy to make – just make a pitcher of hibiscus tea to use instead of orange juice, you can add hibiscus blossoms for a beautiful garnish too.

Want It.  There are plenty of cute brunch themed shirts available, like this one from t+j Designs.  It think that it would be so cute with some distressed jeans & a bright jacket for brunch, or with a pencil skirt for a girls’ night out.  I also love this tank and this tee.

See It.  We all know that you can’t keep makeup forever, but we often don’t realize how quickly makeup can expire.  I know that mascara lasts 3 months, but what about the other products?  Glamour recently gave an “Easy Way to Tell if Your Beauty Products are Expired.”  There is a stamp on each product’s packaging and/or label that tells you how many months you should keep it.  So easy!  I’ll be keeping this in mind when I clean out my makeup drawers this weekend!

Love It.  While I’m tossing out expired makeup this weekend, I’ll take the opportunity to clean my makeup brushes.   I use MAC’s brush cleanser to remove makeup residue, disinfect, & condition my brushes.  It’s always amazing how much gunk can build up on brushes that are used daily.  The cleanser also helps to extend the life of your brushes & shortens drying time.  To dry your brushes, I recommend hanging them upside down using a brush tree like Benjabelle’s.

Want It.  I am a makeup & beauty product hoarder.  I have drawers full of samples, eye shadows, & lipsticks, which can make it difficult to get ready quickly in the morning.  This clear acrylic storage piece would allow me to keep the most used items at hand.  I love the clear acrylic, which allows you to see what’s in each drawer.

See It.  Misty Copeland is arguably the most recognizable ballerina in the world right now.  Edgar Degas spent a large portion of his career painting the dancers of the Paris Opera Ballet.  In a recent Harper’s Bazaar feature, Copeland recreated some of Degas’ most recognizable works.  The results are truly stunning.

Love It.  There’s no question that I live & die for anything pink, so I was tickled pink (ha, ha!) when MAC released the Flamingo Park Collection.  This capsule collection centers on shades of pink eyeshadow, lip colors, nail polish, & more!  Ranging from pale pink glitter to punchy hot pink, there is a shade for everyone!  I can’t wait to get my hands on the “be silly” lipstick, just in time for spring!

Want It.  Chanel’s tweed suit is a classic, but out of price range for most of us.  Storet’s Luxe Sequin Tweed Coco Jacket is an affordable alternative at $158.  It comes in navy & sea-foam green, & would be perfect to dress up some jeans or with a pencil skirt for work.

See It.  Christmas is next week, but I have a ton of holiday events to still attend, each with its own dress code.  Thanks to InStyle, you can let the always on-point Amal Clooney show you How to Decipher Party Dress Codes, from “black-tie” to “festive.”  In Louisiana, Mardi Gras season follows the holiday season, so I’ll be referring to this article for the next few months.

Love It.  Next week, I’ll be sharing some of our favorite holiday traditions.  For now, I’ll just say that I love the holiday season.  Thanksgiving tends to be forgotten now, since stores begin putting Christmas decor out in October, but I love the family atmosphere of Thanksgiving dinner.  After dinner, there is football to watch & we pull out the holiday decor.  It’s my favorite part of the holidays!

Want It.  Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love my animals.  The cat can drive me crazy at times, but he’s a sweetheart underneath the constant destruction.  Silhouette art is a staple in the south, I think everyone here has one from their childhood, but Minted now lets you take that tradition & apply it to your fur-babies too!  You just send them a profile picture of your pet (or child) & they turn it into a custom piece of art.  They come in printed, foil-pressed, or letter-pressed, with or without text, & in a variety of colors.  Now I just need to get the animals to sit still long enough for a profile shot!
