Made in America Monday: Bumble and Bumble

I have a confession:  Up until this spring I used cheap shampoo.  I'm not talking Pantene cheap, I'm talking VO5 cheap.  Granted, I've been known to drop $20 on hairspray, but that's another story for another day.  

It wasn't until my stylist explained that my greasy hair (that I always complain about) was being exacerbated by my crappy shampoo, that I decided to buck up for the good stuff.  Apparently the cheap stuff strips your hair and then your oil glands work overtime to get the moisture back.  Who knew?!

Since I tend to go big or go home, I didn't leave the salon with one high-end bottle of shampoo and conditioner;  I purchased two.  One set for when I wear my hair wavy, and another for the days I actually blow dry it straight (those are RARE).

On the days I just let my hair air dry (read:  every.  single.  day.) I use Bumble and Bumble Surf Foam Wash Shampoo, Surf Creme Rinse Conditioner, and Surf Spray.

Result = Beachy Waves

When I want a sleek, styled look, I use Bumble and Bumble Gentle Shampoo and Super Rich Conditioner.

Result:  Smooth Locks 

Last week, I was thrilled to discovered that my beloved (expensive) shampoo was made in the USA.  For some reason, it makes me feel better to be bucking up for the good stuff since it's American-made.  Plus, my bad hair days are fewer and farther between and the grease factor has dissipated immensely.  Win-Win.

Way to go Bumble and Bumble, keep up the good work.

What is your favorite made in the USA hair product?  I'd love to know!

Want Easy Summer Style?

Slap on a sundress!

It's one piece, therefore a no-brainer.

It's cool.  (Feel the breeze baby!)

And it can be dressed up or down:  think flip flops/flats vs. wedges/heels.

Take exhibit A: (actually it's the only exhibit - but just go with it)

Note:  If you follow me on instagram, you'll know that this outfit is SOOOOO 2 1/2 weeks ago.  Deal.

Styling is pretty much non existent here...

Dress + sunnies + wedges + jewelry = easy summer style.

I didn't even do my hair!  Although I should thank the Bumble and Bumble Surf Collection for my beachy waves - well, them and the actual beach - that whole salty sea air definitely helps the cause...

When I run out of poses, I just start looking random places - like a crack in the boardwalk...

Or no where in particular...

Ah blogger problems.

The details:  Dress is Old Navy.  Wedges from Target.  Madewell sunnies.  Miscellaneous jewelry.

What about you?  What's your idea of easy, summer style?

If you don't check back here tomorrow (which you totally should - I'll be wearing something a tad ridiculous) have a great 4th of July weekend and be safe!

My Home Away from Home

I blogged over at my other home today (my local Flower City Fashion blog).  I don't want you to feel left out.  Even if you don't live in my neck of the woods you can get the scoop on Fashion Week of Rochester here.

In other news, I had this thought as I was getting ready for the fashion show Saturday night:

So what if I wash my hair with on-sale Suave?  My Bumble and Bumble hairspray keeps my 'do on point ALL NIGHT LONG.

May your joys be many, your sorrows be few, and your hair be large. ;)

Hope your week is off to a great start!

xoxo
