My top summer hair care tips!




Good morning, lovelies!!!

I know I'm a little late on this post, but I have just got around to doing it! Today I want to share with you some of my best summer hair care tips to help you shield your gorgeous locks from getting damaged in the sun, pool, and heat! :-) As we all know, the sun can be damaging to our skin. Likewise, it can be damaging to our hair. In particular, solar radiation dries out and fades the pigment melanin contained within our hair shaft. Unlike our skin, which can regenerate melanin after UV damage, our hair is dead and therefore cannot. Repeated exposure to the sun's harmful rays will eventually remove all of the pigment from our hair, and it cannot be restored. It is important to cover up, either with a trendy hat, or to take other protective measures to keep our hair in tip-top shape all-year-round!

My pre-birthday weekend!!




Good evening lovelies!

I just got back from a wonderful pre-birthday weekend! Thanks to a special guy in my life (shout out to the gorgeous Vince! :) ), I got to go to Kennywood (Six Flags Great Adventure of Pennsylvania) to ride some roller coasters, Bar Louie and Nakama Japanese steakhouse for two amazing birthday dinners, the Crazy Mocha for a cappuccino & frozen hot chocolate dessert, and to treat myself to a manicure & pedicure! My mother also was kind enough to buy me a 10 hot yoga class pass to the Amazing Yoga studio in Pittsburgh (love you mama!), which will be thoroughly enjoyed by me over the next upcoming weeks! :-)


Here are a few pics from my weekend!
