It may be the beginning of September but the fall season has already made its way into our home. This time of year can never arrive sooner and once the iconic pumpkin spiced latte is released, that’s a green light to get the decorations out. Fall is the feel-good season because it opens the door for festive activities, hay rides, colorful leaves, homemade baked goodies that leave the house smelling delicious, crisp cool air, and the excuse to eat all things made with pumpkin! While these are all reasons to get excited, there is one big change this time of year that I can always do without- dry skin. One would think that living in Florida would solve this dilemma since it’s hot and sticky the majority of the time. The truth is, dry skin creeps up on your regardless of the weather conditions. You can keep your skin soft and hydrated by exfoliating and moisturizing daily.

Have you ever had one of those days where you find yourself hovering anxiously by your front door because a package is due to be delivered? It’s not any package either, but a FABULOUS one. You look like a creeper peeping out of your own window but can’t help yourself because every car that drives by may be holding your precious cargo. That was me a few weeks ago when I found out my first FabFitFun subscription box was on its way. To say I was excited would be an understatement. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the FabFitFun Summer Edition box which is packed with over $275 in goodies! Once it finally reached my doorstep I understood why so many ladies adore this unique subscription service. Fabulous, fun, and how did they fit so much stuff in there?

Growing up I had my fair share of insecurities and awkward moments. Until middle school I was always the tallest child in my class, had an unruly frizzy perm accompanied by the biggest bangs you could fit on a human forehead, pale skin, huge round glasses with thick frames, crooked pinkies (which I share with my mom and daughter), and a shy personality to hide behind. Even though most of this was the norm in the 90’s it still took a lot of time for me to embrace my beauty, goofiness and all. Today I feel beautiful because I am mother and I think we can all agree each of us has a special glow inside of us.

I have a confession. I strongly dislike HATE doing my daughter’s hair. I try, I really do… but I’m just not very good at it. You would think after spending many years doing my own hair I would have somehow mastered the common pony tail and maybe even a braid here and there. When I found out I was having a little girl I couldn’t wait for the frilly dresses, embellished shoes, and adorable hairstyles with coordinating accessories. Well here we are five years later and the adorable hairstyle fantasy just isn’t happening. I am lucky if I get a comb through it without a loud scream of terror.

For over a year now I have been doing everything in my power to grow my hair out. I love the look of long, beautiful, flowy locks but it’s been a tough road. The process alone drives me completely crazy. I stopped getting my hair colored as often, reduced the frequency of trims, and taken vitamins to speed up the results. You would think my hair would be healthier with these changes but my ends are still dry, brittle, and screaming for help.

Split ends are one of the most common hair care issues that many woman have. No matter how healthy your hair is or how many miracle products you invest in, everyone has suffered from this dreadful enemy. I have spent the past year doing everything I can to improve the appearance and overall quality of my hair. This includes reducing the heat on my blow dryer, taking vitamins, using protective sprays, passing up the daily use of my favorite straightener, and even sticking to a dark hair style so I could grow out the bleach from previous highlighting. The condition of my hair has improved drastically but there are times that those annoying split ends need a little TLC and Suave Professionals Split End Rescue duo does just that.

Tomorrow night the anticipated 2014 MTV Video Music Awards are being held in Inglewood, California. It’s hard to believe that this will be their 31st annual show. I have been watching the VMA’s since I was in middle school and always look forward to the performances. This year artists like Beyoncé, Eminem, Katy Perry, and Miley Cyrus will be facing off for a “moonman” to call their own. I really enjoy watching the pre-show. This is the first time you get to see all of the stars walk the red carpet with their beautiful dresses, flawless makeup, and rockin’ hair. I’m no celebrity but TRESemmé has all of the products needed to amp up my hair and make me feel like a star!

My hair has its good day and it has its bad days. Then it has those days where I look in the mirror and think to myself, “Is this REALLY what I have to work with right now?” I’ve been coloring, cutting, and altering my hair for over 10 years. You can imagine the stress my little hair follicles have been under! Sometimes they scream for a little extra TLC and if they don’t get it I can expect to have quite a few horrific hair days ahead of me.
