Everyone has a hair story. For some hair is a shield; for others it’s a beacon. Our relationship to our hair evolves as we do, but beauty companies ask us to focus on what goes wrong rather than right, adding fuel to our self-loathing. What if we could learn to love what we’ve been taught to hate? Hairstory products help liberate us from negative norms that limit the expression of innate beauty.
We asked some provocative questions about hair care and came up with some surprising answers: Is shampoo the best way to wash? (No. It’s the worst.) Why are there so many shampoos for every type imaginable? (More stuff = more revenue.) How many hair products do the best hairdressers in the world actually need? (About 6, tops.)
Read MoreI can’t always jet off to Paris whenever I would like. Really, such a shame! But now, I, and you other French lovers, can have the next best thing, Oui Please – a carefully curated box full of items from France. I have shared OuiPlease before and will continue sharing them because it’s a brand I love!! Find those past posts here.
Each delivery is a different experience from various regions in France. So you don’t only get the best from Paris but from all over France. The holiday box was one of my very favorites thus far! The boxes just keep getting better and better!! Everything from my Maradji scarf, hand and body wash from Rose et Marius, a toiletry bag from Rive Droite , candies from Maison Boissier , and so, so much more! Each box is valued at over $400 (but you pay far less) – which is much cheaper than that $1500 plane ticket you were just looking at! While there is no replacing the actual experience of visiting France, Oui Please is definitely the next best option! Consider it for yourself or as a gift for that person in your life who can never get enough of travel or France!
Read MoreWe are all almost to the finish line. We are getting ready to make it through Christmas, and New Year's is on the horizon. However, are you ready for the festivities of New Year's Eve?! New Year’s usually comes with much more champagne in our home and the needed ability to stay up past midnight-which I must admit is very hard for me in my old age! LOL!
With 2019 well underway, the time for change is ever present. Not only is this a new year, but it’s the start of a brand new decade! And I don’t know about you but I am feeling the shift. I am feeling the need to make some changes even with my vanity. My makeup bags are stuffed with six similar red lipsticks and four mascara’s..two of which are most likely about to expire. I am going a little nuts with it all and am just ready to simplify and purge, purge, purge!!!! I even started going through some of my fragrances and then that really made me reflect on my relationship with one of my very favorite brands-Skylar. They are such a special part of my daily life as I wear perfume everyday. And when I wear Skylar fragrances I cannot help nut put a smile on my face, even when the world around me seems to be falling apart. There is something about a good fragrance that makes me feel confident, positive, and beautiful. Yet there is also something about a good fragrance that makes me feel relaxed and/or recharged. A burst of fragrance just refreshes my body and mind.

Read MoreWhen it comes to hair, it seems that we often want what we don’t have. Straight-haired girls pump up their locks with dry shampoo, while those with natural curls are always looking for ways to fight the frizz. The one constant is that our hair is undoubtedly a reflection of our identity, and a bad hair day can equal an overall bad day. It’s seriously true. Since the foundational step (washing) is actually key to achieving our best hair ever and today I am sharing a shampoo and conditioner that never lets me down. Sharing a few styling products too!!! Christophe Robin might be a hair god!!!! His products even helped me with my never ending dandruff.
Read MoreA few weeks ago I was so happy to kickstart the holidays at Braum’s An Affair Of The Heart in Tulsa. If you haven’t heard of An Affair Of The Heart, it’s a truly unique event that happens several times a year in Oklahoma and a few surrounding areas. And if you have been following me for a while, I featured some amazing gift items in a holiday gift guide for you to discover at the show in this post and also this post. An Affair Of The Heart brings together the creators of the world who have an especially strong sense of community, creativity, and soul, and all of the exhibitors I got to talk to were incredibly friendly and talented. While I was there I spotted some amazing entrepreneurs that I thought I’d share with you today of course with some emphasis on some of the vendors I have already included-but really tried to showcase new ones that I discovered! (thanks for the suggestions on that) I hope you enjoy the pics from the event too as well as pics from the blogger event I co-hosted with Lisa and Kristin! I feel confident your other favorite Tulsa bloggers will be working with An Affair Of The Heart in 2020 too! (Thank you so much to Jenna for helping me with photos this year as I was taking so much video content for Insta Stories which you can find on my hi-lights ! There is quite a bit of my photography included too though…#teamwork)
Read MoreThink certain outdoor shopping areas are mostly all chain stores lately?!
Yeah me too! Yawn. Yawn. Yawn.
Want more of a unique shopping experience? Want to discover one-of-a-kind buys? Most of us have our usual shopping spots, so why not break the routine and experience some of Tulsa’s quaint and historic gems?! I personally love uncovering hidden treasures and I love the seeing more and more of the local movement!
Read MoreI just wanted to feel confident with or without makeup and not look so darn tired and old.
After determining there was no magical concealer, cream, or over-the-counter treatment to address my under eye problems, I decided to start researching fillers and reached out to Fig Medical Spa here in Tulsa to learn more about the entire process. I had always seen amazing under eye filler before and afters, and I was really curious to see if I could get good results!
After chatting with Fig Medical Spa, they set up an appointment for me with Cristie Lehr-Hawkins, M.D. She is a certified Radiologist with special interest and additional training in aesthetics, regenerative medicine, and Phlebology.
Read MoreOil is definitely the new moisturizer!!!!
I have been using the Oil Cleanser from Wonder Valley this past week as my facial cleanser and I am beyond happy with the results. This cleanser has an opulent golden hue and the warm scent of honeysuckle and this gentle antioxidant-rich facial cleanser leaves skin feeling luminous. Apply the gel-like cleanser to dry skin and massage, a deep pore cleansing and beautiful daily ritual. When mixed with water, this oil cleanser transforms into a velvety milky emulsion and sweeps away impurities, without stripping any beneficial natural oils or affecting skins natural microbiome. The natural antimicrobial properties of Egyptian geranium oil combined with the nutrients of avocado, olive and grape seed oils work to brighten, tone, and enhance elasticity.
Read MoreBut after eyeing the clips I saw everywhere for the past few months, I finally decided I was ready to take the plunge and take this trend for a spin this fall. After all, it’s a pretty low commitment experiment, with super affordable options out there. And it’s looking like it’ll stick around for a minute!!!
If you’re asking yourself “Uh, can I pull this off?” rest assured, there’s a way to wear barrettes without looking like you’re in middle school…thanks to MACHETE!!

One week ago today I launched my holiday gift guide with my top 14 gift items I was most excited about from the upcoming Braum’s An Affair of a Heart show in Tulsa! If you missed that post find it here. It’s such a beautiful curated selection of one-of-a-kind gifts just in time for the holidays to fit anyone’s taste and budgets! If you ask me, a great gift checks two boxes: first, it adds either joy or function (or both!) to the life of the recipient, and second, adds zero stress to that of the gift giver. I make a habit of keeping both points in mind as I work through the holiday season, and not only does it guarantee gifting success for our nearest and dearest, but it also keeps us sane through the frenzy. So when I think of streamlining the gifting process, and it starts with AAOTH.
Read MoreCarried along these perfect little travel companions to Bentonville this weekend that Acqua di Parma gifted me! I can’t live without body lotion, hand cream, and lip balm. And their ‘s products never disappoint. Kinda feel like they created this bundle just for me!

Its a lightweight and ultrafine hydrating body mist to vaporize generously on your skin for a pleasant feeling of freshness and well-being.
