I love getting mail. Recently I subscribed to Ipsy glam bag. If you haven't heard of monthly subscription boxes, they're pretty awesome. It is a fun way to try out new products or give a unique gift to someone. Above, I've listed some of the more popular boxes out there. Not all of them contain just beauty products - some include lifestyle products as well. I received birch box for christmas one year and loved it! Ipsy + Birchbox are both just $10 a month and you can cancel at anytime. They also give coupons and special deals for the products in your box.
Mommy Monday: Toddler Fall/Winter Outerwear
This is the first year a winter jacket is really necessary. This year we will play outside, attend outdoor events, walk to the car, etc. Last year I just covered my daughter with a blanket in her infant carseat!
Some problems I'm coming across with jackets is size and fit of course. I want the size big enough to grow into, but not too big that she is swimming. I had a gift card (thanks to our lovely Belizario friends) for Zara. I had been saving it since her birthday to score an awesome winter jacket! I debated between a dressy coat or a casual parka. As you can see I chose this fur-lined parka for $59.90. It's true to it's size (18-24m) because Kinley is in 18m clothes, but this parka fit a little big. Why did I chose casual over fancy? Well, simply because we are most often dressing casual than we are dressing up!
Here's three other outerwear pieces I am loving:
GapKids $59.99 Old Navy $14
Carter's (4-in-1!!) $31.99
& here's my babe in her new parka!!!
How do I get my Blondes Blonde?
For those of you wondering what I use to get my clients blonde...this post is for you!
I also always used these two different methods on myself until recently when I decided to go "ice platinum" with bleach and a toner. (And now currently I am rocking the roots!)
ONE// [Redken] (30 or) 40 Volume pro-oxide developer & EL-V Color Fusion extralift.
This was always my go to. I've used this for years on myself. The little blue tube used to be called double blondes -- but then Redken discontinued that line and this "Color Fusion extralift" was the alternative. I use the EL-V (or the EL-B) to try to cancel out some gold or orange. This generally is a warm color though, and I always follow up using a purple shampoo to wash (after letting it process for 40 minutes.)
TWO// [Redken] 30 volume Color Gels & 9NA (or 10NA) Color Gels + Highlights
This is a bit more of a dimensional look with color and highlights. Also a bit more work for the hairstylist! This is how I started to get my hair brighter after months of just color. I add highlights to the blondes who just don't think they are blonde enough. I am always wanting to be blonder!!
Disclaimer to my mommy followers: going completely fully blonde is not ideal for a busy mama. It's high maintenance and usually needs to be touched up every 3-4 weeks.
PPS - do not, I repeat...do not try to go platinum blonde on your own.
