Shampoo and Conditioner.

It's a dreary feeling Monday today.

The goal is to try to stay in bed as long as absolutely possible. However, I did want to discuss my new shower routine for my hair. I have two new products, and a rediscovered product that I am very happy to have started using again.

I decided about a month ago, that I should purchase the mane n' tail shampoo and conditioner. The first couple times I used it I thought meh, it's alright. It makes my hair clean and that's pretty much it. I won't be repurchasing them after I use them up. However, for the time being I did find a perfect combination. Way back when, I was obsessed with the Macadamia Oil shampoo and masque. I brought out the mask again  because my hair has been much tougher to comb through due to the blonde highlights in my hair.

I use the Mane n' Tail shampoo (Sometimes even twice) Once I rinse that out, I but the macadamia oil repair masque through my crown and ends. Whatever is left on my hands, I massage into my scalp. I put my hair up and do all of my other shower needs. Shaving, body washing, face washing, whatever all you do in the shower. On the container it say to leave it in your hair for 3 - 5 minutes. Hopefully these things takes you about this long. If not, dance in the shower? I rinse it out, and it makes my hair comb out (with a wide-tooth comb) like a dream.

I forgot how much I really liked this product.

Now on to a little hair growth info. I quit taking prenatals. I felt like they weren't doing anything to my hair, and the fact that they melted together in my car made it an issue. I started taking biotin about a week ago. I'm not sure if it's actually working, but I'll try it for a few months and see what's happening. On the plus side, highlights have made it so that I can actually see the hair growth, It's been 6 weeks since I have had my hair done and it looks as though it has grown a half of an inch to an inch. Too bad I still feel like it's not growing fast enough even though I can now physically see the hair growth.

I need to call soon to get my roots done and add a bit more blonde to it.

Hi beauty lovers!

Today I was planning on doing like an outfits of the week thing, but unfortunately, I only took pictures of two outfits. But they were pretty cute, so I am going to show them anyways!

Well I'm not too sure about my pose... or my scrunchie face, apparently at the exact moment, I thought it was cute. Whatever, Bye.

 Leopard print loafers from JCP.
Dark blue jeans from Silver
Black t-shirt from Old Navy
Green Army Jacket from Target
Necklace from Zales.

I seriously always wear black, and I LOVE these shoes. So naturally I wear some form of this combination all the time..Clearly, I was not feeling summer-like this day.

 I don't have a full length mirror at my house, so I thought it was normal to use Target's...?

Gold/Tan flats from Target
Blue Jeans from Silver
Muscle Tee from Forever 21
Bandeau from.. I have no clue...?

Pretty simple outfit. But I liked the easy grungy feel to it. It's kind of my favorite style.

Now What?

Happy Monday!!

I have big news everyone! Are you ready? I AM A COLLEGE GRADUATE!! Well... now what? I literally have no clue what I'm going to do with my life now. Tomorrow I am starting my internship at a boutique an hour away from my house. I am way too nervous for words. Legit, so nervous that I drove down there today to make sure I could get there on my own, and to buy new clothes for the job.

Here I am, 21 years old, with a bachelors degree in Fashion Merchandising, working as a server and an intern. Now I'm all panicky that I will never find my big girl job. Why didn't I just go to school for hair 3 years ago when I thought that's what I would want to do. I'd already have my big girl job then. Now what do I do? I'm just so nervous it's ridiculous.

On to different news, I have purchased a new shampoo and conditioner. Be judgmental, I'll understand. I bought the Mane n' Tail products that are supposed to make your hair grow. I've read and watched a lot of blogs/vlogs on this brand and it's very split. Some people rave about it making their hair grow, while others see no difference. I have only used it like 4 times, so clearly I see nothing, but maybe I will notice something when/if I use it all up. We all know it's a freaking miracle if I use up my hair care products. My first washes with it so far, I can tell you the shampoo lathers up well and makes my hair feel clean, and I really enjoy the way the conditioner makes my hair feel. There isn't really any smell to it. Maybe just a soapy smell, but it's nothing crazy.

I feel like my hair just won't grow. I can see that it's growing because of the roots of my highlights, but I can't tell a difference at all. I'm pretty sure no one can. That's annoying... why won't you grow hair?! I'm doing another "line test" at the end of this month to see if there is anything happening..

Anybody have anything new to report on growing your hair?
