Now that school is in full swing, I am constantly on the lookout for products to keep my hair "fresh" in between shampoos. I love trying new things. And anything that promises longer lasting blow outs is alright by me!
I was recently introduced to Oribe Thick Dry Finishing Spray and I have used it everyday since. I was a little nervous about trying something with the word "thick" in the title because usually volume fillers and thickeners weigh my hair down. This is the complete opposite. It's so lightweight...you almost wonder if it's even in your hair.
One trick that helps me get a little volume and "refresh" my hair, is using the blow dryer (review coming soon on this dryer!) on low heat to set the spray. I know "set" makes it sound sticky or crunchy, but I promise it's not! I lift a layer of my hair around the root, flip it to the other side, and spray close to the root. I hold the blow dryer there for maybe 5 seconds and then do the same thing on the other side. I use my Spornette "Little Wonder" teasing comb to brush through my roots and sometimes even do a soft back comb to add some lift. It's the best little trick for a quick touch up!

5 Self Care Tips I’m Taking Into the New Year
I don't know about you, but I always love consuming intentional content in January. I love reading what everyone is working on for the new year and there always seems to be a focus on self-care. It's easy for the year to ramp up and us all to forget about what we wanted to focus on, but I'm hopeful that between my goal-setting sheets, finding my word for 2023, and setting myself up for small wins, it's a really good year. ...
My Lily and Bean Mini Hettie Bag Review
Since this is the most popular thing in my DM's right now, it only feels right to put together a detailed review.

My Word for 2023
I started doing a "word of the year" back in 2019 and it's something I've loved starting the year with. So much so that I plan to keep this going for as long as it's working—4 years later, it's still helpful. As cliche as it sounds, it really does set my year up with intention as I plan goals for my work, family, and personal life. ...
