Thursday Things to Love

I haven't done a Thursday Things To Love post in a long while so I thought I should get right on that! Here are some things that I am loving on this rainy Thursday.
 
Baby Powder - A dirty haired girl's dream! People ask me what my secret is with not washing my hair for days on end...and here you have it. The old baby powder trick. I just learned this trick this year, so don't feel bad if you are in the dark about it too. I have enough blonde in my hair to make it work and I take full advantage of it. I've used dry shampoo before too, but baby powder really works the best (on my  hair) and it's so cheap!
 
Pinterest - Let's face it, we all love Pinterest. I particularly love the Humor section. It never fails when I need a little giggle I can always count on Pinterest Humor to save the day.

 
iHeart Radio - I have converted from Pandora to iHeart Radio. Who's with me?? Pandora was killing me with alllllll the commercials. So far, I like it!
 
Alcohol - Yeah I said. I am loving some alcohol lately. Being a newly single girl, isn't always an easy transition. Enter my friend mr. alcohol. I'm going to have to reign this hobby in soon though before a) I become a full blown alcoholic or b) I get chubby from all the calories. For now, a glass of wine or a cold beer after a long day is just what I need.

I use super cheapo Pssst brand dry shampoo. I only wash my hair every other to every three days. When I'm feeling really gross I push it to four. But with highlights, your hair gets brittle and damaged so easily if you wash and style it daily.

we could be the best of friends, i'm sure of it: )

I have tried to jump on the "dirty hair" trend I just can't!! I feel like a dirty dirty whore - wait maybe that is because of something else...hmmm. Seriously, though I have tried baby poweder and dry shampoo - hate them both. I shall contiue to wash my hair daily :(
I pay for a yearly subscription to Pandora (it's commercial free) and I love it!! You must find some Monte Maria Moscato - You can thank me later!!
Peace lover!

My hair stylist freaked a bit when I told her I wash my hair everyday. That was when she told me to use baby powder. I can do the baby powder thing for one day, but by the end of that second day of not washing my hair I feel gross!

TheTinyHeart said...

I HAVE to wash my hair every day...otherwise I can't stand it! Nothing wrong with having a little drinky drink!

Unknown said...

I didn't know about the baby powder trick and I have TONS lying around the house (because I used to have a baby) this is soooo good too know. And a glass or bottle a day will fix everything.

Unknown said...

I so want to give the baby powder trick a try!

Ashlyn said...

I always use baby powder in my hair too! It works wonders haha. And I have been thinking of using iHeart radio...maybe I will take that plunge soon

CALLIE said...

Girl!! There's nothing better than a cold beer at the end of the day!!

P.S. I nearly fell out when I reached the unibrow.

Girls Love Fried Pickles said...

Oh that Pinterest had grabbed a hold of me. It's spell binding and I will probably set and browse all weekend because I have no life! Love ya!

DSR said...

Love the good old baby powder trick. Except I got paranoid when I had a baby because apparently there are particles in baby powder that can be dangerous if the little ones ingest it. (Um, strange since it's a product FOR babies.) But I started using Dove's dry shampoo and I love it!

Taylor @ Pink Heels Pink Truck said...

If I used baby powder, it'd look like I'd prematurely gone gray....soooo ummm, I shall find something else. LOL ;) I'm going to scout some sweet reds tonight I think....I think I need it!

lori said...

my hair is too dark to get away with baby powder... but i had friends in college who used it, too.

and i totally had margarita monday. no shame in my game, it was a tough day at work.

My-cliffnotes said...

I need to try the baby powder

C Mae said...

I completely agree w/ you about the baby powder!!! I have tried dry shampoo's before and NOTHING works like the powder does! :)

Because Shanna Said So said...

What would we do without some booze in our life??? Does that make me sound like a drunk? ;) And I still love Pandora, but also listen to iHeart Radio too. And baby powder is magical for the hair...especially being blonde. :)

Jordan said...

Beer just tastes better after a long day at work. I've proven this theory but sometimes more research is ok. Have a great weekend!

Kristin said...

Moscato nightly is a good thing :)

Amanda* said...

EYE BROWS. That's HILARIOUS!! hahaha
