hi! i can't tell you how exciting it has been since we started swimming. i just can't. it has been really good for my soul and i look forward to it when we go. since chlorine isn't hairs best friend, i have been putting conditioner on my ends before the plunge. i don't really use the dryer much, just for my bangs and the crown of my head to get a little volume, but since swimming i have put curlers in my hair so that i am not using any heat at all.

| i love the soft blurriness of this picture! |
the other reason why i love the curlers is usually when i sleep my curls they kinda die the next day but going this route they are fresh and springy in the morning. these pictures are the day after my hair was in curlers so they aren't as crisp but i still love it.
it is funny, 28 years old and still figuring out what works for my hair and how to keep it happy. at the moment i need a hair cut to make the curls happier but i just can't spend the $70 at the moment so this is the perfect fix.

Your hair looks so so pretty!! I love the color and the curls. In fact, I think the curls should stay forever. :)
ReplyDeletei wish they could stay like that forever..i guess that is wigs are for! hehe
Deletei want to go swimming!
ReplyDeletei want you to come swimming with me!!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteYour hair looks amazing! Also the colour is so awesome:) I love the criss cross at the back of your top as well.
ReplyDeleteThat skirt is awesome, the fabric is vaguely similar to a dress I just bought for my little niece. So pretty! $70 for a haircut? You need to move to a hick town, lady. I have an awesome stylist and it's only $20 usually for a cut, rinse, blowout. My sister gets her hair cut when she comes up to visit. Come visit, I'll take you to get your hair did. :)
ReplyDeletei know haircuts in california are expensive unless you want to go to california cuts and have them kinda mess up on your hair..i had a guy once cut my hair and one side was longer then the other...and i didn't ask for that kind of hair cut. i'll come visit you and get a $20 hair cut! that sounds like a great deal! hair cut and i get to meet you!
DeleteYour hair looks gorgeous! And I love the bike necklace - nice touch!
ReplyDeletethe curls look awesome cb!
ReplyDeleteI love your style! THAT SHIRT is awesome! I am all about creative open designs on the back of shirts, I feel like its a nice surprise when people don't expect it :)
ReplyDeleteyour hair looks fabulous too! The curlers are working wonderfully, I have been a lazy butt to use my curlers... but wanna start doing that more cause' of the damage curling irons cause.
hooray for swimming!
xoxo.

i agree that an open back is a nice surprise. i am a bit obsessed with them right now. yea irons are not hairs friends either...so hard to be a lady sometimes. i am always so envious of the men who have GORGEOUS curly long hair....their hair has problem never need a chemical product or hot iron in its life, so healthy and pretty! uh, men.
DeleteLovely! I've been meaning to try curlers soon too. I'm 26 and still trying new hair things all the time because I spent my teens too lazy to do my hair and my early 20s with super short hair.
ReplyDeleteha i spent my early 20's with short hair too, NEVER AGAIN! not a good look for me and it was kinda more work then long hair.
DeleteLove the surprise of the back of the top :) I know what you mean - I'm now 37 & still have a battle with my hair everyday, ha ha. I used to use curlers pretty much everyday but haven't in years, you've made me want to get out there & get some new ones :D xox
ReplyDeletethey can be more work then letting my hair air dry but worth it if it helps my hair stay a bit more healthy!
Deletei love these pictures, and your hair looks SO pretty! i can't wait until my uncle opens his pool because i LOVE swimming; it's such good exercise, plus it's so refreshing on a hot day!
ReplyDeleteit is always so GREAT to know someone with a pool! i grew up having a pool and i miss it to much! the gym does kinda suck because the other day some lady was paddling horizontal across the lane so i couldn't swim bay her....O_O oh well at least it is FREE! ahahahahahah
DeleteCute outfit! You always look so chic and pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteYou look like Spring!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous that you get to swim every day. I miss the gym.
first, this is my first visit to your blog so mind me, but i LOVE your tattoos. like absolutely adore everything about them and i'm sure you hear that a lot, but i have to say it. they are downright amazing - i love linework like that (all my tattoos currently have really no coloring to them - except a heart that happens to be shaded a solid red - so i'm biased here!)
ReplyDeletei love this outfit as well. your hair is gorgeous and it looks like you have it down to me - i still have trouble finding time to brush my hair let alone curl/roll it. hence why i have a boy hair cut now.
and i'm more than jealous of your cute bike necklace
thanks for finding me! i design all my tattoos so i am very proud of them and never get tired of people complementing, so thank you! i love line work too as you can tell and mostly do line work for others, i am waiting for someone to ask me to do color! i can't wait till that day comes!
DeleteI adore this outfit! It is so Spring-like and fun. Loving the adorable bike necklace. I bought some bike earrings recently :)
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks gorgeous! Quick question about the curlers: do you have them in when you sleep, then? Isn't it uncomfortable? Just something I've always wondered about!
thanks suki!!! yes i sleep with them in and put a headband/scarf around my curlers to keep them in place and it helps but it isnt super comfortable sleeping in them...oh the things we do for beauty and to keep my hair for getting further split ends!
Deletewow this is the day after the curlers? Your hair still looks cute. I need to try this out. I use way too much heat on my hair. (ps you are bringing sexyback...get it..get it..cause your top has a sexy back..yeah okay)
ReplyDeleteStop by & enter my Vedette giveaway!
haha thanks amber! i do like to bring sexy BACK!
Deletealready signed up to get my boobies a nice perk. dude if i dont win, something is totally up.
flawless goddess forever!
ReplyDeletecan't wait to do some rump shaking with you this weekend! :D
can't wait either! we are gonna dance up a storm!
DeleteYou look so pretty in pink! I love how your hair is lighter at the bottom. Glad you're getting to swim! It's so relaxing.
ReplyDeletethanks kristi! i hope the next few months don't fly by! i want to cherish swimming as much as i can!
DeleteI love that shade of pink on you! Your bicycle necklace is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGood job on treating your hair well! I just had 3 inches cut off because I was starting to look like a brunette rapunzel! I'll have to try your leave-in conditioner trick so I can be better to the ends of my hair!
I am so excited to be heading back to AZ in a few weeks, because there is a pool I can use! I love swimming, too!
thanks! i normally dont buy this pink but goes with so many things i own that it worked out perfectly! i really need to get the deads off my hair..just gotta save that $$
Deletehaving your own pool is the best! i miss my old house for that very reason!
I just recently starting going to pool classes at the gym, but the pool there is salt water. Its interesting jumping around in the pool to disco music, but it gets me moving. I love your hair/outfit here.
ReplyDeleteoh wow really salt water? i wonder why they do that? it must be cool though! i would love to do a water class, i should look into that! sounds like fun!
DeleteGAh! Everything about this outfit is wonderful. The racerback was such a nice little surprise :) :) and the bike necklace with the actual bike... love it!
ReplyDeletethanks melissa! the bike necklace is my favorite!
DeleteI LOVE this skirt!! I'm so exciting that it's finally springtime and everybody's cracking out the florals =)
ReplyDeleteyou look so pretty in bright colors!!! and i am way jealous of your curly hair! my hair is straight as a pin and won't hold curl for anything. i'm glad you have been able to enjoy swimming so much lately..being able to spend time doing something you love AND with the man you love...i'd call that bliss! :)
ReplyDeletethanks cayce! when i was younger i wanted stick straight hair and would blow out my hair straight...i have come to terms with my hair and love it for what it is. swimming has been great except for the old dudes that keep staring at me and making me feel uncomfortable. i am glad tom goes for that reason too other then it is super fun to go together
Deletehope you tattoo is healing well sweetie! xoxox
that skirt is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love your skirt and shoes! And that necklace is super adorable, what a great present!
ReplyDeletexo, Megan
gingerly
love that you're rocking the floral prints lately! if only the weather was more appropriate for us to go skipping around in them!
ReplyDeletefor your curly hair you MUST try this new trick its amazing takes no time at all and makes your hair look awesome
ReplyDeleteyou get a stretchy fabric headband and wrap the hair around it, sleep on it or just do it in the morning while you get ready and it will make your hair look so gooooood
