30th Birthday Countdown: Makeover Reveal

Did y'all see the Super Bowl last night? The most entertaining thing about it was Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The game was a total blowout. I'm not a Broncos or Seahawks fan but I at least wanted to see a good game. Didn't happen.

Anyway.

In much bigger and voluminous news. I had my hair appointment on Saturday. Remember the Vinuss hair I told you about a couple weeks ago? Well I finally got it installed. I couldn't be happier with the results.

Here is a selfie I took during the process.

And a close up of the ends that I showed you on Instagram…I am in love with the ombre color my stylist created for me.

A view from the back. Again. The color is exactly what I wanted. I love it when a plan comes together...

And here is a screen shot of all the different angels that I kind of stole from the instagram account of my stylist… Hope she doesn't mind!

If you want to see some hair get slayed and laid follow my girl Yama on IG here...

Saturday night before bed I rolled the hair on flexi rods. Below are the results. It was super curly and my hair had so much volume the next morning. Dare I say it… I was gone with the wind fabulous, LOL! Literally. Cause it was pretty windy here on Sunday...

Getting my hair done made me that much more excited for our trip and my birthday. I feel like a new woman. I probably look like one too. My hair appointment went smoothly. Yama is my stylist here in San Antonio. If you are in this area I would suggest calling her for your weave install. She has great customer service and is so polite. I emailed and texted her a bunch and she always responded in a timely manner. Very professional. Yama can be reached on her Style Seat site. I can't say enough about my experience. Not only did I get a new look but I also got some girl talk in too. Great way to spend my afternoon.

As for the hair, I'll be doing a video review as well but let me just say first impressions are everything and so far I am impressed. This Peruvian hair is so full and pretty. I have three bundles installed and it doesn't feel heavy at all. Even after coloring my hair is still super soft and tangle free. It was pretty windy on Sunday and I still didn't experience any tangles or ratchet hair behavior. Love. Love. Love.

So what do you think of my new look? Am I ready for my Flirty30 and trip to Vegas?

Mommy Makeover Hair Inspiration

We have been stuck inside for the past two days due to the frigid temps. I feel so bad for all of the people in Atlanta and Birmingham that were literally stuck in their cars, work or school over night. My Dad was one of the people out there sitting somewhere on 285 and I-75. So glad he made it home okay. It only took him 12 hours to get home. Someone needs to do better planning for the next winter storm.

Anyway.

Being at home has given me a little time to think about what type of hair color I'm going for. Remember I have three bundles of Peruvian loose wave hair that I'll be getting installed on Saturday. I'm so excited for a new look.

I initially fell in love with Cynthia Bailey's hair color on RHOA…

But then as I searched the wonderful world wide web I started to see more versions of the ombre trend that were pretty…

So what do you think? Is the ombre trend had its moment or is it good to go for another season?

30th Birthday Countdown: Mommy Makeover

I'm not going to say that I have been looking slightly beat down lately. But…

Let's just say I am in need of a new look. Badly. That's where Vinuss Hair Extensions comes in to play.

I pulled a Britney in 2010 when I was pregnant with Savannah and cut all my hair off. Love that look. Then it grew out. Love love love my curls and natural hair. However. I was not prepared for the maintenance that's involved with natural hair. I found a hair regimen that worked well for my hair and it's grown out a lot.

Enter BabyM.

Now that I have two little crumb snatchers (whom I love dearly) vying for my attention I have less time to wash/co-wash, detangle, trim, twist, roll, blow out or straighten all this hair. I have tried to make time, but if you read this blog then you know these kids keep me very busy.

I promised myself that for my 30s (and especially my Flirty30) I was going to pull myself all the way together. So. In an effort to give myself a break from feeling bad about not having time to do my hair I will be getting a sew-in.

The nice people over at Vinuss were nice enough to send me three lovely bundles (16, 18, 20 inches) of 100% unprocessed virgin Peruvian loose wave hair. Their customer service is excellent and their prices are even better.

My hair arrived individually bagged and labeled. Each bundle was packaged in a hair net. The first two bundles in the pic below are still in their net. I removed the net from the last bundle so that you could see the difference.

Here is an up close pic of the ends of the 20 inch bundle. Super smooth. Very shiny. 

Here is a picture showing the wave pattern. The hair is so soft. I'm beyond excited for my install in a couple weeks. I plan to have it dyed a golden blond. I'll be going for the color that Cynthia is currently wearing on RHOA. I am obsessed with her ombre color.

I'll be posting my new look very soon. Thinking about changing up your look using hair extensions? Do yourself a favor and visit Vinuss.  Their prices are perfect for a Mommy on a budget. You can thank me later.

When was the last time you changed your look?
