My Favorite Hair Products.

♥ Philosophy Shear Splendor: "an age-defying hair marinating oil"

This stuff is amazing! I try to use it once a week as recommended or on special occasions because I'm hoarding it (I bought this awhile ago at a Marshalls so I'm sure this has been discontinued). You apply "a palm full amount" on dry hair, working from ends to scalp, and then leave on for 20 minutes and shampoo out in the shower. After using this my hair is super soft and shiny. If you know of a similar product you like, please let me know in the comments. I'm almost out! 

♥ Moroccan Oil/Macadamia Oil Treatment:

Although I have been using Moroccan Oil for over a year now, I decided to put both products up. I just received the Macadamia Oil as an Ulta reward and have been using it the last few days. I'm liking it a lot so far but want to continue testing it. I'll be doing a comparison post between the two soon because there are some differences. I apply a dime-sized amount of either oil (not both!) to the ends of my damp hair and work it about half way up towards the roots. Both treatments make the (damaged) ends of my hair softer, appear healthier and helps my wet hair dry faster.

♥ John Frieda Frizz-Ease Leave-In Conditioning Spray

This conditioning spray is not simply a leave-in conditioner but also detangles and has a heat protectant built in.  On top of needing this spray to condition my chemically-treated (and sometimes heat styled hair), my hair has been tangling very easily when I get out of the shower. This stuff really helps detangle and makes my hair soft. I really notice a difference in my hair when I use it vs. don't use it.  For whatever reason, I hadn't repurchased this for a couple months (this is probably my 8th bottle) but I'm not making that mistake again. I now have a back up on hand (it was buy one, get one 50% off). Oh, and did I mention it's affordable at $5.99?

♥ CHI 44 Iron Guard 

I love this product to protect my hair from heat damage from flat ironing and curling. The only downside is you can only spray it on dry hair, so it won't protect your hair from blow drying. I've heard some complain about the smell of the product but I actually like the smell.

Rings and Pretty Things

One of my favorite things to shop for on Etsy is jewelry. Every time I wear a piece of jewelry from Etsy I get several compliments on that piece and people asking me where I bought it. Compliments don't happen nearly as often when I wear a piece from a chain store. With so many talented jewelry sellers on Etsy, it can be hard to choose. Here are some of my favorite Etsy jewelers (check back for part 2 including necklaces and bracelets). Enjoy & let me know your favorites!

Queen of Hearts Earrings.

Who says you can't mix gold and silver? I love these earrings from 3RexesJewelry for exactly that reason. They look medieval yet are still very girly with a pretty pink stone set in a heart. I'm not sure if 3rexes still makes my particular earring, however, she has plenty of other really pretty sets up for sale.

Satin Bow and Pearl Earrings $10

I get so many compliments on these bow and pearl earrings when I wear them. I purchased these earrings in turquoise and I loved them so much, I went back and bought them in black too. Everything in MademoiselleMermaid is so bright and colorful- perfect for the upcoming spring and summer seasons! She just added pink (and black) polka dotted bow earrings to her shop. So cute- not sure how long I'm going to be able to resist...

Blue Drusy with Hearts Ring $92

I used to collect rocks when I was little. My favorites were the ones that sparkled. When I saw this ring from luckyduct, it reminded me of my sparkly rock collection. I had to buy it and decided it would be a "celebration" ring for my one year Etsy anniversary. Believe me, it's even sparklier (is that even a word?) in person!

Pink Topaz Pink Rock Fetish Ring $168

With so many pretty rings in onegarnetgirl's shop, I had such a hard time choosing what ring to put on my Christmas list. Then I saw this ring- as soon as I saw the *hot pink* stone I was sold. I love this ring! (Here it is pictured sitting on my glass heart ring holder ($32) from providenceartglass.)
