Styling a mid length hair can be tricky but it needn’t be. Today I am going to show you my own personal hair tricks using TRESemmé. All you will need is a paddle brush, tail comb brush, TRESemmé Compressed Micro Mist Level 3 Hairspray and TRESemmé Compressed Micro-Mist Hair Spray Smooth Hold Level 2. Working in fashion and in makeup allows me to be free and more creative with my hair. New York Fashion Week is just around the corner and I wanted to show you a couple of hair tricks to keep you looking updated and put together.

1) Switch up your part – by doing this you get to show off certain face features and ear or clothing accessories. Spray your tail comb with TRESemmé Compressed Micro-Mist Hair Spray Smooth Hold Level 2 and voila, your are already looking different. I do this all the time, especially for photos and selfies.

2) Add some texture/ smoothness with heat – everyone wants texture and the best way to do this is using a heated styling tool with TRESemmé Compressed Micro Mist Level 3 Hairspray to seal your locks once you are done.

I also wanted to let all my readers know that you have until Aug 11th to enter the #ShopriteTRESsweepstakes. This is your chance to WIN a trip for you plus ONE (2) invitations to attend a sponsor-selected fashion show at New York Fashion Week,

As a makeup artist and a blogger, I keep a large amount of makeup, hairstyling tools, and skincare in my shelves for various purposes. Getting clutter under control is a challenge for me always, I am known to be a bit messy. I’ve had professional help with the organizing aspect of my makeup room (and it was great). But the ongoing task of keeping my space clutter free is something I have to do myself. To keep your clutter in check, you need good trash bags! Enter the Glad Advanced Protection trash bags. These bags have been instrumental in getting rid of my piles. All the Glad Advanced Protection trash bags used during my declutter, pass a torture test with the amount of stuff I have to get rid of, on a regular basis. (SEE BELOW).

Glad Advanced Protection trash bags are a must have for your heavy items and out of date products (eww the smell). Glad Advanced Protection trash bags come in packs of as many as 56 bags. One of my favorite features of this product is the Reinforced Bottom and Leakguard Protection. I deal with a lot of liquid, heavy packaging, some I recycle and some has to be tossed. Glad Advanced Protection trash bags are tough and can handle the most heavy of loads.

I put together a list of my How-To’s for getting your clutter under control using Glad Advanced Protection trash bags.

#1 Create piles (I learned this secret from my professional organizer).

#2 Once your piles are created put your Glad Advanced Protection trash bags to work and label them (recyclable vs trash).

#3 Schedule weekly or bi-weekly maintenance (I get a lot of mail and go through things fast, having a system in place helps tremendously).

I found this product at Walmart and it is my go-to tool for my weekly makeup room clutter maintenance. Another fun fact is that these Glad Advanced Protection trash bags come in different scents to soothe your preference, how cool is that? Tell me in the comments sections, what’s your favorite way to keep clutter free?

Hairstyles On The Go With Dove Hair Care

Summer is finally here and hairstyles on the go are on my mind as I get ready for short trips and watch World Cup games. Today I wanted to introduce Dove Thickening Ritual Shampoo and Conditioner as well as the new Dove Volume and Fullness Dry Shampoo and Dove Compressed Micro Mist Flexible Hold Hairspray. The Dove Thickening Ritual Shampoo and Conditioner has a lovely scent and it leaves my hair feeling very soft and clean. PS. I don’t wash my hair everyday! One of my secrets to shiny hair is not using shampoo daily as it is better for people with color processed hair.

How do I get my hair ready on the go without shampooing daily? First of all, a good dry shampoo is your best friend. Dove Volume and Fullness Dry Shampoo is the perfect tool for in between shampoos, it leaves my hair smelling great without much buildup. The value for money on these Dove products is excellent! I found all my Dove hair care products at Walmart.

My routine consists of washing twice a week using Dove Thickening Ritual Shampoo and Conditioner. If the days are humid, I will blow-dry my hair and seal the ends with Dove Compressed Micro Mist Flexible Hold Hairspray. A tip I learned from doing hair on my model clients, is to spray your tail comb with hairspray and this avoids product build up. I definitely want my hair to look as textured as possible without putting on a lot of hairspray. This seems to do the trick.

Finally, sometimes I like to play with volume and the best to achieve volume at the crown, is to use Dove Volume and Fullness Dry Shampoo. I let the dry shampoo do its thing for a minute and then using a paddle brush, I brush it out. This leaves my hair feeling fuller AND smelling amazing. The best part of using dry shampoo is this will extend any blowout and hairstyling on the go.

The best part? All these hairstyles are easy to manage and definitely work. Product is the best thing for keeping your hairstyling intact and looking good.
