Last "Homestretch" Thoughts

Hello again, everyone!

I cannot believe just how fast this school year has gone by. (let alone the past four years) In a  lot of ways it feels like I just arrived at college. I suppose that's a good thing because as some say, "Time flies when you're having fun." The past four years have been amazing. I've had so many new opportunities to make new friends, get involved with extracurriculars, and learn how to be an independent woman. I've learned so much from professors and many of them have been wise mentors. I realized they care about me more than just academics. Sure, getting good grades is important, but it's even more important to be a person of integrity, resilience, kindness, and humility.

To be honest, this past semester has been a time of anxiety and a bit of fear. It's hard to know exactly what you want to do for the rest of your life when you're only 22 years old. Yes, I'm aware careers can always change and there's always time to learn a new trade, but I firmly believe in being committed to what I say I'm going to do. If you say you're going to do something, it's best to follow through all the way. At the same time, I'm excited to see how the next phase of life pans out for me. I'm sure there's many more adventures ahead and I'm ready to contribute to the real working world and be able to fully support myself.

I'm determined to do my very best to enjoy the little bit of time left in college. It's time to thank everyone who has helped me get to this point and support me along my journey. I know there's a lot to look forward to and get ready for. I'm ready to embrace whatever gets presented to me.

XOXO

Sea Salt Spray For Hair

Hello again, everyone!

Today I wanted to discuss my absolute favorite product for my hair...sea salt spray! I love how my hair looks after I go swimming in the ocean. Sadly, I don't live next to a beach, so the next best thing is sea salt spay.

It's only been somewhat recently that I discovered the beauty of this product but I am so glad I finally started using it. Sea salt spray is amazing for almost all hair types. I have thick and curly hair, and my scalp tends to get a bit oily. I find that spraying my hair with sea salt gives my curls some texture and definition while controlling my scalp.

You can use any brand (there a a bunch to choose from!), but I especially love the Not-Your-Mother's Beach Babe. It's very affordable and you can get it at stores like Target. I just spray in into damp hair, and then use my fingers to add definition to my hair.

If you have fine hair, sea salt spray can give you a more volume and fluff. It'll fill in any bald or patchy spots. It'll also give you additional lift, which is always nice to have.

Just spray it into damp hair and then use your fingers to give texture and volume to your hair. You'll look and feel like a beach goddess. Hello, gorgeous!

Have a great week!

XOXO
