New Year New Hair.

With the New Year comes lots of changes and for many that may include a fresh hairstyle to kick things off. I too am changing up my hair for 2018, though it's actually going to be with a lack of change. I recently decided I want to grow my hair long, long, long including giving my bangs a rest and growing them out as well. With length is going to come a definite need for strengthening so I've decided to switch up my hair care products from Soapbox to their Bamboo Strength and Body collection. I want my hair to be as low maintenance as possible, meaning less styling and less haircuts but I definitely want it to be healthy, and I think these products will do just the trick. Don't forget for each Soapbox Soap product purchased a bar of soap is donated to someone in need. Just remember soap=hope, and for 10% off you new beauty routine use code newhair_kirby at checkout, valid until the end of the month!

NYE Beauty with Neutrogena.

It's the first weekend of 2018 and I've partnered with Neutrogena to share with you my Holiday Healthy Skin Makeup look for the new year. I recreated one of Eiza Gonzalez's red carpet beauty looks for the perfect holiday look. These are all great Neutrogena products but my absolute favorites would have to be the healthy skin primer. Not only does it help with coverage it also has SPF which I love since I recently switched moisturizers to one that has no SPF in it. This primer is great for before applying your makeup or just wearing on its' own as a sunscreen. I am also a bit obsessed with this moisture smooth color stick, I'm wearing it in Fresh Papaya, and its a great subtle color but so moisturizing it'll be sure to last you til the ball drops! If you're looking to update your healthy skin routine, use code 'Healthyskin25' at checkout at Neutrogena for 25% off your purchase, the countdown begins because this code is good through January 31st. Have a Happy New Year!

Global Handwashing Day with Soapbox.

Happy Friday everyone! I've teamed up with Soapbox in honor of Global Handwashing Day, which is coming up on October 15th, to share the importance of proper handwashing. It may be something we take for granted or don't think about everyday, but we can stop the spreading of major infectious diseases but properly washing our hands, and why not do that with some of the loveliest Soapbox soaps?! Not only do they offer some fabulous scented soaps like the Vanilla & Lily Blossom, or Citrus & Peach Rose, they are also completely vegan, cruelty free and made with the best ingredients AND they are a rad one for one brand that for every soap purchased they donate a bar of soap to someone in need. For being such beautifully made products they are also surprisingly affordable and would also make for a great holiday gift, gifting someone who is then even gifting someone else, because who doesn't love some great hand soap?! You can shop their products at 10% off with code GHD17kirbymorris and help spread their message that Soap=Hope, happy handwashing!

My Clear Skin Journey with Neutrogena.

Most of you have been following along on my journey to clearer skin for a couple of months now as I've made tweaks and tried new things in the beauty and skincare departments. It's always scary to try new products especially in the acne realm and also can be expensive to invest in a new regime without knowing what results you may end up with. I was lucky enough to be able to try the Neutrogena Skin Clearing collection all at once including the Mineral Powder, Oil-Free Foundation, and Blemish Concealer. I've been using this line everyday for about a week now and am honestly very happy with it. Of course my acne hasn't magically cleared up in a week, but I feel the salicylic acid in the foundation is actually helping to stop breakouts and I get good coverage without feeling like I have anything caked on my face. It feels lightweight and goes on comfortably over my daily moisturizer. I am excited to see where I end up on my journey to clearer skin but am happy to have Neutrogena along for the ride.

Oil Me Up // With Hask Hair.

I love working with Hask hair and being able to try out new and amazing products; unlike clothes, hair and beauty regimes are not second nature to me. I never know what products to by or what will work or what a lot of them even do! I was a little nervous to try this new Argan Oil Spray, because I have such fine hair that has a tendency to get greasy if I don't wash it everyday. Adding an oil to my hair seemed like a bit of a red flag, but I was pleasantly surprised with the effects this had on my hair. Even though my hair is fine and needs to be washed pretty regularly, I have noticed since we moved to this coast that it's a little dry. This Argan Oil seems to give it just a little extra moisture, like a leave-in conditioner without my hair being too oily. All you have to do is spray it on wet or dry hair and brush it through and voila, it works as a conditioner and detangler - great for on the go!

Summer Hair Don't Care.

As we step into Fall I couldn't think of a more perfect time to start a new hair care regime with the new Hask Hawaiian Sea Salt collection. It may be time to say goodbye to beach days but that doesn't mean you have to say goodbye to those beach waves. A couple weeks ago I started using the shampoo, conditioner and sea salt spray from this collection and I am loving them. I have honestly been using the shampoo and conditioner every time I wash which is about every other day, and on days when I curl my hair, which is most days, I finish off my curls with the sea salt spray giving them the perfect texture for a long day! These products also smell so amazing and have me dreaming of the ocean every time I use any of them. Added bonus, Andrew is actually loving them too, he has been using the shampoo and conditioner about as long as I have and he washes everyday. With his thick, voluminous hair (that is about shoulder length) he loves that the sea salt gives his hair a little texture and helps weigh it down some. Definitely a win for me if we can get away with only needing one kind of shampoo at a time!

Home Spa with Exuviance.

If most of you are like me then it's also hard for you to find the time and the money to regularly indulge in spa treatments. I'm very busy between my full time job and blogging and of course on my days off I want to spend my time outdoors with Andrew and our dog or visiting family. And not that you can't treat yourself to a spa visit once in a while it's just typically not in my routine. I was so excited to get to try the Exuviance Bionic Oxygen Facial, because it the treatment of a trip to the spa right in the comfort of your own home, and it works super quick! For the past week I've been using it every couple days and it's so easy; after cleansing your face, apply the oxygen facial to your damp skin and let it sit, after a couple of minutes you will feel it start to foam, which is the most soothing and refreshing feeling, once it finishes foaming it will basically evaporate and then you can give your face a quick rinse and voila! Five minutes tops and you will feel totally refreshed! Regular, repeat spa treatments at home for $65 total.

Summer Beauty Essentials.

We are headed to the beach tonight, to spend the weekend with Andrew's family at Hilton Head. I'm bringing along some of my favorite Summer beauty products some are new updates to my beachy beauty routine others I have been using for quite some time! I recently started using this Sheer Hydration moisturizer from Neostrata as my face sunscreen on a daily basis but especially on our outdoor days hiking or hanging out at a swimming hole. I am still using my Puristry seaberry moisturizer as well but it doesn't have sunscreen in it so this one from Neostrata is perfect for layering over and getting the protection I need. It's so lightweight I don't feel oily even when I'm applying makeup on top of it. This will probably be a makeup free weekend in the sun so Neostrata will be my go to everyday!

Behind the Hair.

With a lot of big life changes I figured why not also change up my hair routine? With a new city, new house and new job I have had a lot going on and definitely have not had time to find a hair stylist here in Asheville, which a cut is long overdue. My hair has been a little in distress, and with major climate changes was feeling dry and damaged. This is the second time I've used a Hask hair care product and am absolutely loving the Orchid & White Truffle Moisture Rich collection, not only does it smell amazing, after treatment my hair feels totally rejuvenated. The Deep Conditioning treatment completely restored my hair! With all these changes going on with my everyday routine I'm glad I have a product like this to rely on.

Healthy Hair with Hask.

We all know hair and beauty regimens aren't really my strong suit, I've basically been an all clothes all the time kind of girl and have kept my beauty routine as simple and low maintenance as possible. Though this may leave me with extra time to style my outfits in the morning it has also left my hair a little neglected - with my fine, relatively straight hair, feeling dry and damaged. I was so eager to try these Hask superfruit hair products; they compare using these products to feeding your hair the same vitamins and nutrients you feed your body, so put like that, why wouldn't you want to use them?! I am so glad I did, after only a few days of using the shampoo and conditioner every other day and using my deep conditioner once, my hair is already starting to feel healthier and restored and it has so much more shine! I am so happy to finally be updating my daily hair routine with Hask, and giving my hair the attention and love it needs!
