Achieving stronger and healthier hair

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of L’Oréal® Paris Elvive. The opinions and text are all mine.

I don’t know about you guys… but winter has definitely taken a toll on my hair this year! I’ve noticed more split ends and I’ve been wearing my hair in more buns than ever because of static electricity. Plus, I’ve been too nervous to put any added stress on my hair with heat styling, so most days lately, I haven’t been styling my hair in fear of making matters worse. So I’m trying out the L’Oréal® Paris Elvive’s line to help my hair feel stronger and healthier, and provide my hair some support against heat damage. I saw results (especially with dryness) after 1 use… and I feel more confident now curling my hair knowing this product protects up to 450-degree heat!

All-Natural Food for Winny

In an attempt to prepare healthy meals every night for Eric and I… I realized Winny should be part of that! Winny is a super healthy pup, but we’ve never been super picky on her food. When I learned more about Freshpet and their all-natural, real, pet food, I knew we had to give it a try! So far, she loves it, and we’ve had no issues with switching over! (We’ve had issues in the past with trying to switch to other foods, so this is a win.) She gets more excited about dinnertime than ever (I would too vs. the hard kibble!) and I’m excited about giving her a natural option.

Winter blahs

Why am I standing in front of a dirty snow pile? Why has my hair lost its curls? Why is this outfit just "ok"? I'm going to blame all of it on the winter blahs. I know, I know... I do love winter. But when it gets to this part of the year... where it's just so gross, gray and dirty outside,  and it's dragged on for too long, that's when I'm ready to see a change. I know us Michiganders can't expect to see hints of spring until the end of March, but man I am ready! February, you were cool and all, and thanks for going by relatively quickly... but let's just speed this last week up, okay? I'm ready for March, and spring!

Winter pathway

Are you hanging in there? Surviving winter?! I'm definitely trying my best! February at least provides some relief here in Michigan with slightly longer days, prettier sunsets, and we've been blessed with a fresh blanket of white snow... which never hurts! February to me is... small hints of spring, ignoring that silly groundhog, filing our taxes, and celebrating Valentine's Day. Eric and I have grand plans tomorrow of homemade cauliflower crust heart-shaped pizzas with ice-cream sundaes. I already celebrated with my gals for Galentine's Day with fancy drinks and dinner out on Saturday, which was so much fun! What are you doing to celebrate?

jb and me x Free People

Hi friends! Happy February! I'm teaming up with local boutique, jb and me, to showcase their latest Free People Spring Collection which launches today in their Grand Rapids location! They are also offering 15% off in store all day long, so if you're local, be sure to pop over there! I loved styling some of these pieces! Some of the items aren't ones I would have picked up myself, but it's always fun to step outside the box and try something new! The ivory cardigan + jeans were my favorite though. So fun for spring/summer transitional looks... which are coming soon!

Stay cozy

Starry nights, peeling paint, vintage keepsakes, imperfections, labors of love, and early mornings. Doesn't that just sound like a brand you want to shop from?! I recently fell in love with Kin Ship Goods after getting the opportunity to collaborate with them on styling three different outfits for this post! Their brand to me instantly felt like something you'd wear on an adventure... or if you love adventures, and you guys know, I'm all about adventures. Read on to see how I styled a few of my favorite pieces from their shop!
