One of the styles I gravitate to is Boho Chic. This shawl was perfect to complete my white tee and jeans. Shawl Dawls is the designer and they are a great company – love them. They have a fun assortment of shawls and poncho’s that are fabulous for layering and adding a punch of color to a basic outfit. Versatility is also super important to me. Being a stylist, I am all about comfy, fun pieces that are quality and affordable. Shawl Dawls fit the bill.
I love this boho meets tribal pattern. It creates immediate style to a white tee and jeans. It effortless style. I layered a statement necklace, some bracelets and gold wedges to complete the look.
And the best part? These shawls can be worn in different ways! Below are 3 of my favorite ways.
1. Scarf
2. Poncho
3. Vest
Check out Shawl Dawls for fun, versatile, quality pieces that are uber affordable!

Scheduling a regular date night is mandatory when you are married with kids! I love a white tee, jeans and leopard pumps as a casual date night! It’s a simple and classic look. The leopard pumps add a fun pop. The key to pulling off this type of look is to have pieces that fit you well. A white tee sounds basic, but the fit is key! I love this tee. It is a high-low tee and I love how it skims my figure without being too clingy. I am obsessed with my jeans. They are comfy and I feel like a million bucks in them!
I layered a long necklace over a few dainty ones to add visual interest to the white tee.

Over the years, I have gotten very good at doing my own nails. Trying to find the time is not easy. And a manicure 2/month adds up!
,
Here are my go to products that gives me minimum 7 days of gorgeous nails. I can stretch it to 10 days if needed!
1. OPI Base Coat: Base coat is key. It allows the polish to adhere and last. I swipe a thin layer on my nails and move on.
Here is a set on Amazon that is cheaper than the retail stores and is both the base and top coat.
2. OPI or ESSIE Nail Polish: I am bourgeois when it comes to polish. I have tried other brands and keep coming back to these 2 brands. I love the colors, quality and the names of the polish colors make me smile.
When I apply coats, I make sure there is enough polish on both sides of the brush, but not too much. I apply 2 thin coats and let the polish dry for a minute in between coats.
This is the color I am wearing. This color looks good on all skin tones. I love it for the fall/winter and whenever I want to rock it out.
3. OPI Top Coat: This is key. It keeps the polish shiny and nick free. After a few minutes I run my nails under cold water to help dry them faster.
If I get a smudge, I go over it with the top coat and it takes care of it! If it is a nick, I will apply a thin coat of polish over the spot, then paint the nail again. Or – add a sparkle polish to the nicked nail and roll with it!
To maximize the shine, apply a top coat every few days to keep your nails looking ah-mazing.

My hair is the one thing that I love changing. (Better than changing men I suppose…)
I WAS blessed to have easy, healthy hair. Read on.
I had the stylist do a take on the ombre style, which is darker roots which gradually gets lighter at the ends. I love it, but some of my strands was over-processed. You know, the frizzes? And when I would wash my hair, it was not as soft as before. The damaged ends was driving me crazy. I was not happy about the idea of cutting it shorter, so I went on a mission to find another way.
After a ton of research, I ordered a few hair products. I used 2 of the new products today and … HELLO lover! My hair is already making a comeback. It feels silkier, the processed parts are not as frizzy. I am over the moon that I will not have to cut my hair! I had to do a post and share with others.
Product Breakdown:
Current Shampoo: Pureology Hydrating Shampoo. I get the largest size and it literally lasts a year. It is sulfate free and my go to:
New conditioner: This is a deep conditioner and I loved the smell and how moisturizing it felt. I bought it based on the reviews and natural components.
New Shine Boost: It had me at “Free of paraben, gluten, mineral oil and phthalates”. This is great to have for color treated hair.
