Happy Haloween

Every year since J and I started dating we've taken a night and 

carved pumpkins (somewhat competitively).. but this year I think J won.

Here are a few pictures from our fun family night.

What I'm Loving Wednesday (the hair edition)

I'm kinda crazy about my hair (thanks mom).  I didn't color my hair for a long time, like 8 years, because in high school I went a little crazy and before I knew it I was a platinum blond and my hair was fried.  But because I did start highlighting again, I probably go over board on trying to keep my hair healthy. 

I have alot of very fine hair but I hate product

so a good shampoo is critical for me.
I know I'm crazy but I like to rotate shampoos every week or so

$30 at Amazon.com

$27 from Trade Secrets

I rarely use hair spray but when I do it's bumble and bumble

It smells great and they make a travel size perfect for your purse

$22 from Sephora ($10 for travel size)

I love that bumble and bumble make their dry shampoo hair color specific

$35 from Sephora

And my long standing staple items are by Aveda.  

Some people don't like the strong smell of Aveda products 

but as an Aveda salon regular I love it..

It makes me feel like I just left the salon when I use it.

$16 from Aveda

$24 from Aveda

1.  Sorry I've been so bad about posting.  I've pretty much spent every free moment I have looking for ideas for the new house.  {Thank goodness for Pinterest or I would have killed a small tree printing all the cute stuff I've found} ..Other than that it's just been Gamecock football, Gamecock drama, and work of course.

2.  I went to visit my parents last weekend and finally met their new puppy, Uryk.  He is a 12 week old, Bernese Mountain Dog, and he's already almost as big as Miller.  He looks like a little teddy bear... I'm inlove!!

 

3.  Also, I finally found flat brown boots that I love  

(and they actually fit my little toothpick legs).

These are the grey ones I have my eye on.. but I'm afraid Frye maybe a little too butch for me??  I feel like I look like I should be on a farm, yet for some reason I keep going back to them.

These are the other pair I liked, but I'm not sure how I feel about suede??
