Product Review - All About My {Hurr}



Girls I do not know about you, but I put my poor hair through a lot....from washing and drying it pretty much ever day, as well as curling, ratting and hair spray...I am surprised I have the hair that I do!

I had been looking for something that would give my hair some nutrients and condition it at the same time, when I came across a blog post from Style Me Swanky.

She posted a whole blog about becoming more beautiful over night...read it here.

That is when I found this miracle worker!!

 
This deep repair is like putting lotion on your hair. I was a little freaked out the first time I put it on my hair just because of the way it feels, however it works really well.

I put it on my hair every Sunday before bed. I normally just wet my hair, brush it, apply the Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque, comb it through my hair and then wrap my hair in a bun on top of my head.

In the morning I wake up and wash my hair like normal.

This has really helped my hair tremendously....it says you can use it two times a week, my hair is not that dry so I just apply on Sundays.

For a pretty big size tub is only $30 at Ulta, and I just saw this yesterday at Target for $29.99.

I have used this now for a little over a month and have not made a dent in it. I know $30 is a lot to spend on something you only use once a week, however it will last you a while.

Do you girls have anything that is a miracle worker for your hair?? Do share!

Our {Weekend}

***Warning this post contains a lot of pictures***

Friday after a very busy day at work and having the worst sinus headache, I caught up on my Cooking Light magazine while Z went to hit golf balls.



 Normally I find that I want to cook every recipe in the Cooking Light magazines, however this last issue only had a couple. I will be making the below french toast very soon for Z and me!

My mouth is watering just looking at the picture!



Saturday morning after dropping our little fur babies off at Petsmart, I decided to make homemade chocolate chip cookies!

I had not used my Kitchen aid mixer in a while, so it needed some attention.

This picture really does not do the cookies justice....they were as big as my hand and really yummy! The recipe came from the back of the chocolate chip bag!



$200 later after leaving Petsmart, our fur babies are super clean and have matching hounds tooth harnesses.

Louie could care less about the harness, but Ace (our difficult child) is trying to boycott it by not walking at.all.


We went to my parents house Saturday afternoon and my mom surprised me with my favorite little fatty treat...Cherry Mash and a Big Red! Seriously if you have not had these two things together you are missing out!


Saturday was a very busy day for me! I also had a Stella and Dot trunk show at my friend Abby's house! It was so good getting to catch up with her and see her adorable house! 


Sunday after church and getting a nap in, Z and I headed to Target for our weekly grocery shopping. We are leaving Friday for New Orleans, so I was on the hunt for a crossbody!

I got this fringe one at Target I was so excited to find this one! And it was only $24!! Holla!!!


Z told me the fringe looks like something Miley Cyrus would wear...but I like her so I will take it!

 

After eating the horrible below on Sunday...Z and I did our Insanity workout...I about died! I guess it does go to show that you need to put healthy stuff in your body or you will almost (key work "almost) throw up when working out!


And lastly...Last night before heading to bed we started the count down to New Orleans!!! I am so excited to go to New Orleans with Z and my co-workers! I plan on gaining back the 2.9 pounds I have lost so far....



Hope everyone had a great weekend and has a even better Monday!!
