New Favorite Hair Product: Heaven in Hair

If you've been reading this blog for awhile you know that one of my New Year's resolutions this year to start embracing my curls. It's been quite the adventure and learning curve at times but overall I'm so happy that I took the plunge! My hair is healthier then it's been in a long time and I just feel more "me" if that makes any sense. Something that has made the transition so much easier has been the Devacurl line of products. Made especially for curly hair Devacurl is hands down the best haircare line I've ever used! Lately, my curls have been pretty dry, probably because of all the sun and salt water I've been exposing them to lately. I decided to pick up Heaven In Hair, Devacurl's deep moisturizing treatment, to see if that would help.

 Oh my goodness, it has been so great! It smells awesome and makes my hair feel so hydrated! Also all that added moisture makes my curls extra bouncy with no frizz, a definite plus on these hot, humid summer days! So far I've just been putting around a quarter to half-dollar size amount in my hair and leaving it in for around thirty minutes before washing out. I'm planning on trying leaving it on overnight to see if it makes any big difference. Either way though Heaven in Hair is definitely turning into one of my new favorite products!

Things I'm Excited About: January Edition

I wanted to start a new monthly series about things I'm excited about every month. I'm hoping it'll be a good way to look back and recap the year and I think it'll be a pretty fun series! Anyway here's this month's list!

1) Jay and Allie's Birthdays!

Both my boyfriend and my little sister have birthdays this month. Jay's turning 24 on the 17th and my little Allie is turning 16(!!!) on the 23rd. Can't believe she's grown up so fast and will be able to start driving. Also, since Allie and I are exactly 6 1/2 years apart our birthdays are also each other's half birthdays! I'm really excited to help them both celebrate how absolutely wonderful they are.

2) More LocalLevo Meetups!
I unfortunately was sick during the first Boston LocalLevo meetup so I can't wait for the next one! Looks like it might be trivia night or some ice skating, either way I'm so excited to meet everyone!

3)Devacurl
Part of my new year's resolutions was to embrace my naturally curly hair. Part of doing that has been to try out the DevaCurl system. Have you heard of it? It was created in part by Lorraine Massey the author of the book Curly Girl. It's really helping me on my journey towards my healthiest, best curls. 

4)Knitting
I've wanted to learn how to knit for a while now and after seeing a post on College Prep about the Learn to Knit Kit from Purl Soho I decided to order one and try it. It just came on Monday and I'm loving it so far!

5) Yoga
I recently got back into yoga after a year long break and I'm loving it so much. Those two classes a week are the perfect "me" time and I leave class feeling so much better than when I go in!

Those are the top 5 things I'm excited about this month! What are you looking forward to in January?
