5 Must Dos
Spring is well on it's way.... FINALLY, Yay! I think everyone is with me in feeling like it was a loooong winter. Well we can only get warmer and sunnier from this point on. Here are 5 things to do this month to start getting ready for the more radiant days ahead.
1.) Get a pedicure! Pamper yourself and get your feet sandal ready at the same time. This will be a great motivator to go home and weed through last years sandals, cause it might be time for some new ones. After a pedicure is also a good time to get fitted for some new walking shoes.
2.) Get an airbrush tan. I just got one and what a great way to pull me out of the winter drags. The other bennie is as I go through my closet of spring clothes it's easier to decide what to keep and what to donate because one I don't feel so washed out and two everything looks better with a TAN!
3.) Get some highlights. Brighten up your face with a few framing locks. This will give you a fresh look and will help you update your makeup collection with spring to summer colors. Put aside all of your plums and burgundy to make room for corals and pinks. This includes cheek colors as well and don't forget to darken your foundation and pick up a bronzer!
4.) Take your winter coats to the cleaners. Every year I say I am going to do this so that I won't be left with a dirty coat at the first frost in October. I made sure I did it this year and what a better way to pack away your coat when it's already wrapped in a bag for you. Just one bit of advice on this....don't forget to pick your coat up from the cleaners!
5.) Buy some seeds. Yes it's time to start your seeds growing. Digging in a little dirt always sparks those spring time feelings. I am going to try a couple of herb pots this year with a few of my favorites, how about you???
Whatever you decide to do this month have a Happy Spring!

Monthly Beauty Tip...........
6 Ways to
Preserve your Hair Color
Avoid Shampooing Daily - It is not necessary to wash your hair this often. If need be try just wetting your hair down and using conditioner. This will help to remove product build up and refresh your hair.
Use the correct products - Hair care products make all the difference in the longevity of your hair color. Shampoos especially, many of them have harsh detergents that are stripping agents in them. It is important to use a shampoo that is both sulfate free and propylene glycol free.
Don't Swim with Dry Hair - Your hair acts like a sponge soaking up chlorine which bleaches your hair. By wetting your hair down first with tap water and running a conditioner through it, it will act as a barrier and dilute the amount of chlorine your hair soaks up.
Be aware of excessive heat - High heats can pull the color out of your hair. That is why heat protectant are so important.
Seal in your color with conditioners - Conditioners help fill in the "pot holes" of porosity, keeping your hair hydrated and strong. Sealing that outer cuticle layer of your hair thus sealing in your hair color.
Do a glossing treatment - A clear gloss can help seal in your color and it creates great shine.
Use SPF - Your skin is not the only thing that suffers from sun damage. The sun bleaches out color and dries out your hair making it porous.
