Mid-week pick me up

Happy Wednesday, babes! 

I know my blog is about everyday fashion and beauty but this quote really spoke to me and I wanted to share. There are no rules here right?

As I was scrolling through Pinterest last night, I saw this picture and a million thoughts ran through my head. Most importantly, I want to be successful and productive every single day. I want to be that person that wakes up at 5 am and runs 3 miles everyday... haha maybe not 3. Maybe 1...or none. We will start by eating a decent breakfast in the morning instead of just iced coffee and then once I can handle that, I'll work on the other stuff. Anyways, I want you guys to read that quote again and visualize yourself as your BEST self then get out in the world and be that person. If you don't do it for yourself then it's not going to happen. If everyone else disappeared at the end of the day, the only things you would have left are what you created for yourself. This is why you can't worry about what others think. YOU do YOU, babe! 

Work on being present every. single. day. Don't just go through the motions anymore. Say hi to someone new, eat something different for lunch, anything to just change it up a little. I think this is my biggest issue, being present. I just go through the motions but I want to push myself to be better. Sometimes I think, if I do something different will others judge me? Just like you, I understand the pressure to conform to society but if you branch out, so many great opportunities will come from it. Anything you set your mind to is achievable. If you choose to push yourself out of your comfort zone, you will feel so empowered because you showed up as your highest self that day.  

Thanks for reading this post, babes. Make sure to comment or shoot me an email if you have any thoughts or advice on this topic!

Get out there and be the best version of you, always!

XOXO, Demi

My hair transformation- SCARY!

I know we have all struggled with dry hair before...and if you say you haven't, well, then you are BLESSED GIRL. I constantly struggle with keeping moisture in my hair when I am trying to grow it out. I bleach it (no, I'm not a natural blonde... hehehe), I blow dry it and put heat on it very frequently. I'm gonna keep it real with y'all, my hair was BAD. Like way bad and I had no idea what to do to mend it back to a healthy state so, I cut it off. This was probably the best decision ever until I couldn't figure out how to style it on my own. I ended up having to go to target, a.k.a the holy grail of all things amazing, and bought some new products and a new (and smaller barrel) curling iron. I ended up getting the Conair Infinity Pro (1-inch barrel) for $19.99. Let me say that again...$19.99. A STEAL. It doesn't only work wonders for my shorter hair, it's rose gold and very aesthetically pleasing. 

      

 I also did some research so I didn't get the wrong products and redamage my hair. I found that you want a sulfate free product and if your hair is super dry, like mine, plant-based is probably the way to go. I ended up snagging the Renpure coconut and vitamin E leave-in conditioner. This stuff smells amazing along with having so many benefits for your hair and it's only $5.99.
