You Deserve It

Summer is such a great season, and I always think it’s my favorite until fall arrives!  I’ve been creating music, content, new material, and all sorts of things all summer.

Sometimes it’s important to look at the work you’ve been doing, where it’s gotten you and to appreciate your own effort.  Especially if you’re a motivated individual, it can be easy to overlook the progress you’ve made and focus only on what you still have to accomplish.

Perspective is important, so take time acknowledge yourself, you deserve it!  Have a great Tuesday!

BlogHer2017

Last month we went to BlogHer2017!  It was the first time I’d gone to a blogging conference and I had such a good time I’m already planning to attend another one. Most of the panels were very interesting and I loved meeting all the other bloggers from all over.

We also loved that it was in Orlando, because Florida is such a great spot!  We got to explore Disneyworld, Disney Springs and Orlando in general.  It was great to be able to learn more about blogging because it’s great to make friends in a new sphere.

I love making music, touring, releasing new music, and sharing it with you, and blogging is still new for me, so being able to learn how others do it will help me share the best of my musical life with you!

Canada Day and Garnier

On this Canada150 weekend I had the chance to get out on the boat.  It was such a great weekend but as always my hair was blowing like crazy in the wind!  But this time I noticed that my hair smelled amazing, and it’s because I used the new Moisture Lock Shampoo and Conditioner that arrived in my Garnier gift box!

My favorite thing about being a partner with Garnier is getting to have hair that smells incredible all the time.  I never would have thought that Cactus would be so moisturizing and add such shine and health to my hair.  I still love the Clean and Pure shampoo and conditioner, but the smell of the Moisture Lock collection is really winning me over!

Even a few days ago a friend of mine commented on how healthy my hair has been looking lately and I can’t help but think it’s in part because of this shampoo and conditioner!

Garnier’s New Triple Nutrition

I recently started working with Garnier to talk about their new super fruits super hair collection.  At first I wasn’t sure what to expect, obviously I know who Garnier is, but I’d only tried their products a handful of times over my years of haircare.

I loved the samples they sent me as a preview of the new collection, which you can read about here.  When this new shampoo they unveiled arrived, I loved the consideration of hair health, not just pretty packaging.  However, what the product does and how it performs is more important than anything else.  The first thing I loved about the new Triple Nutrition shampoo and conditioner set is the smell!  I’ve always loved a really delicious shampoo scent, but it never seems to stay in my hair past the shower, that is not the case with Triple Nutrition. I smell it on my hair and catch the scent when I’m going about my day and it smells fantastic; a combination of fruity goodness with a warm vanilla-esque finish.

The best part is how it makes my hair feel and look, I have long hair with body and this doesn’t weigh it down but it does give it a look of thickness that I love.

I’ve been adding the serum that goes with the line in before I style my hair and it gives my hair quite a bit of shine and adds to the lasting power of the scent.  So far I’m really loving partnering with Garnier on this new super fruits collection!

Brown Thomas and Dublin Castle

After spending time in Belfast I was almost sad to leave because I found it so charming, but Dublin did not disappoint! It had a lively music scene in the pubs at night and a lot of history throughout the city, I’ll be talking about that aspect in a later post, but there were two things in Dublin that I found made for a nice contrasting afternoon.

First we explored Dublin Castle in the heart of the city. Full of so much history, from the time that Dublin was invaded by England, up to it’s present day existence.  The entire building was very imposing and the fact that it’s now sandwiched in the middle of everything else in thriving downtown Dublin makes me a perfect stop to soak in some history.

In the afternoon we found ourselves in Brown Thomas, a luxurious department store with it’s main entrance on Grafton Street, having high tea. The experience was decadent, especially when coupled with a visit to Dublin Castle.  We were surrounded by locals, which elevated the experience for me, and felt as though we’d stumbled into a locals spot.  The fare was light and refreshing with beautiful design touches throughout the experience.  Also, it was a champagne high tea…what could possibly be more fun?!

Garnier Super Fruit Super Hair

I love hair products and I love trying new things on my hair that make it softer, shinier, and most importantly, healthier.  That’s why when Garnier reached out to ask if I wanted to partner with them to try out there new Super Fruit Super Hair line of hair care products I was so excited! So far I’m loving the Amli shampoo and Amli leave-in conditioner.

It smells divine and made my hair feel SO soft but still full of body.  It was great to get home from playing a show over the weekend and indulge in this healthy hair treat that made my hair so manageable.

This whole collection focuses on products designed around the benefits of natural oils and super fruit ingredients.  I can’t wait to try the other shampoos, especially the coconut one, so stay tuned!
