1) Prepare washed hair for styling by combiningAngelo David Sea Foam Silk Styling Mousse and Angelo David Premier Volume Spray

2) Begin blow drying sections of hair using a great round brush like theAngelo David Large Round Brush

3) Take a huge section of hair in the front and do a side sweep. Tease the back section of the head to create lift and volume

4) Create loose curls by wrapping sections of hair around a 1 ½ inch barrel curling iron, starting from the midlength going all the way down to the ends

5) Here is the key to get those loose curls: begin running your fingers through your hair, separating them to create a very tousled, piece-y, beachy look

6) Finish the look with L'oreal Tex Infinium Professional hairspray for a strong hold, without the stiffness.

Clear Complexion Skincare by Aveeno

If you've never used an Aveeno product you've been missing out!  If you were to open my medicine cabinet, you'd see at least one Aveeno product on every single shelf.  The stuff is awesome.  My long-time Aveeno favorites include the eye-cream and tinted daily moisturizer and now the new Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser and Daily Moisturizer.  Aveeno is perfect for sensitive skin since it's oil-free, noncomedogenic, soap-free and hypoallergenic. 

The Foaming Cleanser helps improve skins tone and texture and clears up blemishes without over drying, leaving your skin soft, smooth and even-looking.  Aveeno Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser won't clog your pores and is really gentle.  It even removes traces of makeup you didn't realize were still there.


Aveeno's Clear Complexion Daily Moisturizer has a unique formula that includes Total Soy Complex that helps to naturally even out skin tone and smooth texture while moisturizing.  It also contains salicylic acid to help clear up and prevent unwanted blemishes.  This moisturizer is really light and absorbs fast and your makeup will go on flawlessly over the top.  Clear Complexion Daily Moisturizer is also perfect for sensitive skin!  I guarantee you will love these latest Aveeno Clear Complexion products as much as I do!

Your hairs' Summer Savior: Klorane NEW Mango Oil

If your hair is anything like mine, you need protection and treatment from harsh UV rays, humidity and dry frizzy hair year round.  I have thick, naturally wavy hair, so when it gets dry and frizzy it looks enormous!  I tend to stay away from any hair "oils" since all of the oil always seems to end up at my roots within four hours and I look like I haven't washed my hair in days, but when I was given Klorane's new Mango Oil  Spray for dry, damaged and sun exposed hair, I saw that it was a "dry oil" and so lightweight you'd never know it was an oil! 

I've been spritzing in Klorane's Mango Oil Spray after towel drying my hair all week and I have to say, I really do see a difference in the texture of my hair.  My hair isn't nearly as frizzy as normal after I've blown dry and I've even dared to skip the large barrel curling iron before heading out for the day once or twice during the week!  Oh, and it smells great!
 

Here are some of Klorane's Mango Oil benefits:

  • Intensely nourishes & restores moisture to dry hair without weighing it down
  • Lightweight, no-rinse, dry oil formula
  • Protects hair from sun damage with a UV filter
  • Leaves hair supple, silky and beautifully radiant
  • 100% preservative, paraben and silicone free
