AN AFTERNOON OF PAMPERING WITH LIVING PROOF

With the holidays in full swing, I've really been focusing on amping up my beauty routine.  I've been to a few Christmas parties and I have another one tonight to attend, so I've wanted to make sure that my hair, makeup, and nails are consistently "holiday party ready". But let's face it, I'm busy with three kids and work as it is - throw the holidays into the mix and I have zero time left for pampering!

I was so excited when Kelly from Studio K convinced me to put my busy schedule on pause for an afternoon of pampering at her salon earlier this week and to tell me about a hair product line that would help carry me through the rest of this crazy month. She is absolutely the sweetest, and even held Eli while I got my hair washed! I'm so glad I carved out some "me" time for an hour. I got a much needed trim, an amazing blow out, and talked with Kyle, my stylist, and Kelly, about how to maintain salon quality hair when I'm constantly on the go. Kelly told me all about the Living Proof products that they use in their salon.

Living Proof products use a special molecule that creates a thin invisible shield around every strand of hair. This shield protects hair from damaging heat from styling and repels oil and dirt so that it stays cleaner longer.  Cleaner hair for a longer amount of time means my favorite thing- less washing. I've made it my personal mission to perfect the art of the 'once a week wash', so I'm really excited to put these products to the test and see if they really can keep my hair cleaner longer.

I left Studio K with a bag full of all the Living Proof products that they used on my hair and I can't wait to test them all out myself. I'm most excited about the dry shampoo. I've tried so many that work ok, but have yet to be blown away by one. I'm putting Living Proof to the test through the rest of the party season. I will let you know how they hold up to my dirty hair when I only have 10 minutes to make it look fresh and amazing before a party or shoot!
