I have never been one to have an involved, lengthy, or costly beauty regimen. Even as a single woman, I rarely spent more than 10 minutes on make-up, and my evening ritual consisted of washing my face. My hair is thick and curly, so every other day, I'd spend the 30-45 minutes required to straighten my hair.
As you can imagine, I don't have the time I once did.... Read More »

Despite what it may look like to most, I have thick, curly hair. I thank the inventor of flat irons and moroccan oil for my sleek and smooth, yet artificially straightened hair. I used to spend a lot of money on hair care products in hopes of smoothing the curls and taming the fr... Read More »

For two months, I've been anxiously waiting to tell you about Disney's modern-day take on Rapunzel. After several years in the making, Tangled premiered in theaters nationwide earlier this week. Disney's 50th animated feature, presented in Disney Digital 3D, follows the adventurous tale of a girl taken hostage as a baby for her magical hair.
Two months ago, I a... Read More »

The number of days I dress up, apply makeup, and actually do something with my hair each week is rare and inconsistent. I call it success when I get in 5 minutes of interrupted shower and dress time. Most days I let my curly hair dry naturally, often without anything in it. I thus rely heavily on effective shampoo and conditioning products to keep my hair mana... Read More »

Have you seen my hair? It's super thick and curly. And up until I became pregnant with my daughter, it was highlighted (all that remains are some roots in desperate need of a touch up). So now that I'm 4 months post partum, I'm starting to shed all of that excess hair that accumulated during my pregnancy. Which leaves me wondering...should I purchase hair care... Read More »

If you've seen my hair in pictures, you most likely have seen it straight. What you may not know is that I have curly hair....really curly hair! So how do I get it straight? With a flat iron! For many, many years, I assumed that the health of my hair was related to the products I use, the treatments I get done (i.e. highlights), and how often I cut it. Howev... Read More »

Last night we got back from being away for almost two weeks. It's been quite a whirwind between the blog events I attended and then our family vacation without a break in between. I've barely had two seconds to process it all. Why is it that coming home from a vacation ... Read More »

About 90% of the products I use are organic, natural, and otherwise "green." If there is an eco-friendly alternative to a product, I'll opt for that one over something conventional. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm even more vigilant about ensuring that whatever goes in or on my body is free from harmful chemicals.
I've tried a TON of natural shampoos, conditioners, ... Read More »

Well it's the middle of my week of beauty reviews and I've got another fabulous mommy must-have! There are a lot of products I can't justify spending money on...self-tanners come to mind (keep in mind I'm exotic Puerto Rican with olive-toned skin). But when it comes to my hair...I'm so there (I know...cheesy!). Seriously...if you can see it...I want it looki... Read More »
