PREPPING MY HAIR TO SURVIVE NEW YORK FASHION WEEK

New York Fashion Week hairstyle

New York Fashion Week is a total whirlwind! After two years of attending under my belt, I knew what things were important and what things I could spend less energy on while there. One of the main lessons I learned this year: I will not want to wash and style my hair everyday because sleep is a rarity and a necessity during the craziness of NYFW. And let’s be honest – sleep is a priority when getting up and ready any day, let alone during the week of NYFW!

PACKING THE ESSENTIAL PRODUCTS

For packing for my trip to NYFW this year, I wanted to focus on the products that would minimize my styling time, hold my style, and help me speed up my getting ready routine. I’ve been a long-time fan of Living Proof and their Full Dry Volume Blast because it gives my hair a little extra oopmh of volume and texture that I can only seem to get from a salon visit. I knew I would be packing this product in my bag but also wanted to try some of the new Living Proof Style Lab products because they recently re-launched. I took the new T.B.D. Multi-Tasking Styler and Blowout spray through a trial-run a few days before leaving for my trip.

I love the way effortless waves look but wanted to focus on getting some extra volume and sleekness (that only my stylists can seem to achieve), so I started with damp hair and applied about a quarter-sized amount of the T.B.D. Multi-Tasking Styler to my hair with my hands and then brushed it through.  I can’t place a finger on the scent of the Living Proof products but I looove it. It kind of reminds me of a Marni perfume I love! The Multi-Tasking Styler really does it all – you can use it on wet and dry hair and it tames, it smoothes + polishes, it helps you get those piece-y waves… Done!

PREPPING YOUR HAIR

I don’t typically do blowouts on my hair anymore, as I find that the extra heat can be damaging. I have a lot of hair and unless I’m going for a super sleek look I try not to give extra heat to my hair with a blow dryer (but now on the days that I DO want a sleek look, I can use Living Proof’s Blowout for a faster salon-worthy blowout knowing my hair is protected because it has built-in heat protection). But for this effortless waves look, I air dried my hair until it was about 80% dry and then used my hairdryer on the cool setting to get it all the way dry. My focus on the last 20% of drying time was to get the extra smoothing benefit of the T.B.D. Multi-Tasking Styler and to tame my ends.

My next step was to create some loose, effortless waves with a curling iron – but first, I wanted to give my hair a bit of heat protection prior so I used a few spritzes of the Living Proof Style Lab Blowout spray since it offers heat protection up to 450º and can help lock in your style. I focused my spritzes mid-way through my hair since that’s where I would be doing the styling and wrapped small sections of hair once or twice around the curling iron. I like switching up the number of times I wrap my hair around the barrel and curling both towards my face and away from my face for a mixture of different wave patterns.

Once I’m done adding piece-y waves throughout my hair, I use my ol’ favorite: Living Proof Full Dry Volume Blast! Give it a good shake, spray and tousle for some volume, and I’m all set with that New York Fashion Week ‘effortless waves’ hair!

    I need to try this brand. As we age, we not only get fine lines and wrinkles but our hair gets dry and brittle as well. I will ave to try those Living Proof products. They do look like they are high quality products that would help bring my hair back to life.

Finally tried @dintaifungusa and wow! So good! Her Finally tried @dintaifungusa and wow! So good! Here’s what we ordered:

🌟Cucumber Salad - a bright and light starter I’d love to make these at home (and @glucosegoddess would be proud!)
🌟String Beans with Garlic - I would have eaten 3 more orders of this had they not been $16/each. I’ve already been searching for copy cat recipes because they are just SO DAMN GOOD
🌟Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao - these are their classic soup dumpling and very yummy and chewy and I loved the soy-vinegar sauce pairing with it
🌟 Sticky Rice & Kurobuta Pork Shao Mai - these were recommended in a TikTok video but they weren’t my favorite. The rice plus the dough was just too much IMO
🌟 Chicken Spicy Wontons - these were very good! I would drink the bowl of sauce if no one was watching…
🌟 Chocolate & Mochi Xiao Long Bao - wow, what a great to end the meal! We don’t order dessert often but this really good. Love the melty creamy chocolate!

Can’t wait to go back! Have you been? You’ve got to try it!
I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board tog I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board together until late January because there it’s so much buzz around the new year and goal setting around the start of the new year…but how about waiting until the buzz around it starts to fade? I’ve been committed since 12/31/2022 but if you need some fresh inspiration for 2023…here you go!

Last year I made a digital vision board in Canva with about 8 vague photos and I never looked at it. This year, I got a huge poster board and nearly 100 very specific images of the things I want. VERY specific. In the short 3 weeks having this propped up in my office and seeing it each day, I’m already seeing the needle moving on these items! 

Have you created a vision board or set goals for 2023? What doe is mean to you? How are you achieving your goals this year? #goalsetting #visionboard

#AirbnbPartner One of the things that gives me the #AirbnbPartner One of the things that gives me the most joy is creating beautiful spaces that I get to share with others! SWIPE for before and afters!

I love the design process of coming up with a design in my mind and working to make it a reality for a beautiful escape to share. One question we get a lot is “how can I find a place of my own and get started hosting?” Thanks to @airbnb I’m excited to share that @airbnb is introducing opportunities for renters through Airbnb-friendly apartments. You can break into hosting by renting an Airbnb-friendly apartment where you can live full-time and host part-time. I love how this creates financial opportunity for those who rent to start their hosting journey in an easy-to-start way!
