Miss America: how to prep hair for a week of heat styling and hot stage lights

Hello Gorgeous,
Tonight is the Miss America pageant where Kira Kazantsev will end her year of service and pass the crown to a new winner.

I will be cheering for Madi Estevez our Arizona contestant competing on the national stage.

I have two product recommendations for these ladies who are busy from early morning to late at night at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

All of that humidity means the ladies sure could use some KMS Hair Stay

 It's perfect for making hair smooth, shiney and keeping pop up fuzzies from happening in humid weather. I use it on my wet hair and then blow dry. Before I flat iron, I give one more spray and comb through my hair before using the iron. Nice and smooth all day! It's so Miss America perfect!

Next, after all of the heat styling and stress of the preparing and event, the KorresAlmond and Linseed  Hair Mask.
I love this product! It smells good, and does a great job of moisturizing tired and overworked hair, then rinses clean and doesn't weigh the hair down afterwards. It's available at Sephora for $22.50.



 What it is:
A nourishing treatment mask that penetrates dry, damaged hair to soften and hydrate for powerful results.

What it is formulated to do:
This ultra-nourishing hair mask deeply penetrates hair to soften and address breakages and split ends. A blend of organic extracts found only on the Greek island of Crete provide antioxidant protection, while hydrating almond and nourishing linseed help prevent future breakage and split ends. Vitamin B3 and provitamin B5 help completely restore the appearance of hair by improving shine, feel, and flexibility. They also protect against mechanical damage due to hot styling or environmental stress. Sea lavender adds an extra dose of hydration and protection for hair that is instantly healthier, softer, smoother, and more manageable.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Phthalates

What else you need to know:
KORRES natural hair care was inspired by naturally beautiful Mediterranean women known for their thick, lustrous hair. Their secret is the natural ingredients found only in Greece. This product is silicone-free and formulated using organic extracts only found on the Greek island of Crete. It is 88.9 percent natural.

Remember September 11th and the lives lost

Gorgeous,
Today is a sad day to be noted in history as it is at this time, on September 11th, 2001 that the Twin Towers in New York City were attacked by terrorists by flying into them.



There is a memorial site in New York City. For those of us who are not able to make it there, please take a moment of silence for those who lost their lives, gave their lives while trying to rescue, and those that survived.

Hey ya Gorgeous,
Fall is beginning to peek out from under the summer here in Arizona!
NYFW is in full swing, football is happening along with tailgates and time to put in your winter garden if you can. I love gardening though the creepy crawlies and mad rabbits tend to eat everything I plant before I have a chance to harvest!

emerginC Scientific Organics: body butter for prepping skin for boot season!

Hello Gorgeous!
Today, the New York Fashion Week officially begins. I'm not attending this year, I'm homeshcooling and then some!

I know that in other parts of the United States, Fall weather and cooler temperatures are beginning.
Nope.
Not here.
Not Arizona.
We are still in our low 100's, to high 90's.

I am dreaming of boot weather! Time to take the pedicure off and prepare my feet for boots! Oh glorious boots!



I want this particular pair, the quilted riding boot, really, really bad! Size 7.5 please! Thank you!

 Ok, so how do you get your dry spots ready for cool weather so they don't get dried out and crusty?
Simple, try emerginC Scientific Organics grape stem cell, white tea + seaweed body butter!



 I have a sample of this for the blog, and possible a ride on the Millenium Falcon if I play my cards right.

What you need to know: 100% natural with a minimum of 70% organic ingredients. It has a light, citrusy scent and combats rough skin and unevern skin tone with aloe, and shea butter with grape stem cells.

There is so much goodness in this tube! Get some!


 The brand emerginC scientific organic products practices a "buy one plant one policy". For every product of theirs you buy, they plan a tree!
I love that!  Learn more about the brand on their website here.
