Need to cut down you drying time??? Try Microfiber!!!

Hello Lovlies,

I hope you are enjoying your weekend, where ever you may be.

Now, I try to limit the amount of heat I use on my hair, and to lessen the time I spend blow drying, I air dry.  The down side to air dying, is I have very thick dense hair. Air drying can literally take days lol. I wanted to try a microfiber towel, to see if it would really cut down my drying time.

A microfiber hair towel can be indispensable when it comes to drying your hair. They offer several advantages over regular hair towels. The first advantage they have is that they dry faster. This means that when you’re busy in the morning and have a million things to do, your hair will be dried quickly and efficiently leaving you more time to other things done (like getting the kids breakfast and out the door!) The second great thing about a microfiber hair wrap is that you can put your hair up in one of these towels and leave it there for half an hour and when you finally get time to do your hair it’s almost dry but it’s still manageable. This cuts way down on the time it takes to dry your hair not to mention your hair will be healthier, you’ll have fewer split ends and your hair will look better too! And because of the properties of microfiber the hair turban will dry off quicker meaning that you can take a couple of showers or wash your hair later in the day and the towel will be dry and ready to use. The only reason you would need another one is for when the first hair towel is in the wash. And speaking of wash, microfiber hair towels are extremely easy to take care of. All you have to do is throw it in the wash with all your other clothes. That’s it! It cleans just like a regular towel. The only thing you have to be careful of is not to add any fabric softeners. The microfiber materials will absorb the fabric softener and it takes forever to come out. If this happens you’re better off getting another one.

THE PROBLEM:  I couldn't find one that was reasonably priced.  I went to bed, bath and beyond and was shocked when I saw the aquis towel for about $20.  That may not sound expensive to some, but I'm a girl on a budget.  This brand towel is supposed to be the best but I wanted to try a cheaper version before making the investment.  I knew I could possibly find it cheaper online. 

It just so happened that I was in the drugstore one day, and stumbled upon the Twisted Turban.  This towel has been out for years but recently came out with a new one made of Microfiber....and for only $4.95. SCORE!!!!!!  This towel is less than the aquis towel because it has slightly less microfiber properties but for the price, is GREAT!!!  It is still super absorbant and dried my hair in a few hours, without having a soaking wet towel on my head.  NEW STAPLE!!!!

Stay Beautiful,
XOXO

Spring Cleaning...

I never know when it is the right to time for spring cleaning, but today I did a little shopping and thought I better get rid of the old to make room for the new.  While cleaning, I thought maybe I should try this with everything in my life.  As I recylce clothes that I once adorned, but for one reason or another, no longer suit me...I decided to do the same with some relationships, activities, etc.  I plan to purge my life of anything that does not suit me, now nor in my future.  

This is a really random post, but as my life changes  I thought it only right for me to share.

I'm not sure how many people actually read the blog, but if you do please follow.  I would love to know how I can keep your interest.  If the topic suits me of course lol.  But all in all, I would like to get to know my readers, if I have any!!!!

On another note, I am starting an assistant position next week.  I am excited about this opportunity!! I have tried a few other salons in the past, but it didn't work out.  I'm excited about my future in general.  I'm really loving life and trusting the God will take care of me.  Believe me when I say, it is a heavy load off my shoulders.  If you haven't tried it, honey...."LET GO, AND LET GOD".  There ain't any other way!!! Just smile because you can. 
I Love my smile, and love to share it with everyone around me.  I try not to let anyone turn my frown upside down...and if I don't feel upbeat, I fake it until I do lol!

Smooches babies!!!
