As much as I loved sporting my sassy and chic bob, I realize my heart belongs to those long and lush locks.  Yes, I'm craving that long and loose wavy style now and am so excited to go back there. These looks are some of my favorites and they provide the perfect bit of inspo right now.  With that I'm on the road to growing my hair to that crowning glory length I've always adored.  Whether growing out an older cut or enjoying your fresh crop, it's always important to keep your tresses into tip top shape.  This dryer is one of my favorites, perfect for all those days in between professional blowouts. I always start with the heat protection of a good shine boosting oil.  The soft and silky difference it makes on my hair is amazing.  More length means greater versatility.  Long, loose waves are easy with the perfect curling wand.  It gives my hair the perfect amount of bend and bounce.  Also love this one too.  Keeping hair healthy is a must no matter the length.  At least once a week, I like to treat myself to my favorite conditioner wrapped up in a hot towel.  

Hope your Monday is merry and bright….Merry almost Christmas!!

Bobbi Brown Eye Palette // Creme de la Mer // Sultra // NARS // MAC Look in a Box // Julep Nail Trio // Volupsa Candles // T3 'The Party Couple' // Beauty Blender // Kate Somerville

One of my favorite daily treats is reaching into my makeup bag and pulling out something fun and new to play with.  Great colors, fun kits and new products are always so enticing!  Of course, I have come to love certain products and brands that have become my favorites because of the incredible job they do.  Some of my tried and true must-haves include the iconic Bobbi Brown and her gorgeous palettes.  What I love about Bobbi is the way she makes it so simple for everyone to achieve that natural beauty look.  Her colors are always flattering and the pigments hold true.  Every palette is so well-crafted that even the make-up shy novice can achieve pro-looking results without looking made up.  That being so, I am beyond excited to use her latest Nude on Nude kit made exclusively for Nordstrom.  The twelve mix and match shades can give you everything from a fresh-faced at the beach to a smokey eye that meets him for drinks look.  In order for any make-up line to look its best, you really want your skin to be its healthiest too.  In order to make that happen, proper hydration is a must.  Few creams work more miracles than Creme de la Mer.  Worth every penny.  Other top contenders in my skincare routine are these three pieces from Kate Somerville.  I use the trio whenever I want a vibrant healthy glow.  Naturally, no beauty roundup would be complete without a few results-oriented haircare tools.  I'm personally head over heels for my T3 hairdryer.  Light, quiet and quick, my only regret is that I didn't get it in this lovely shade of pink.  Once my hair is dry, a few quick passes with this single pass compact iron are all my (newly short! more on that another day) hair needs to be styled with sass.   If you're really ready to fall in love, then I recommend getting both pieces with The Party Couple.

Shop more of my beauty favorites below and at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this weekend.  Sale starts on Friday with early access for Nordstrom card holders happening now.  Enjoy!
