The Power Within

Today is a very special post where i'm partnering with T3 and their #powerwithin campaign. What gives me my strength and has ultimately molded and defined me as the person I am today is my family. From a young age my parents were always the biggest influences in my life. I wouldn't be where I am today, or who I am, without them. They were always my biggest supporters too. Anything I dreamt, they both believed in me and would tell me that I could achieve it and make it possible. To have that support and know they truly believed it, is an amazing feeling to have.

Whenever I need a little pep talk or reassurance, I talk to my dad. There is no one who has been there for me and helped more than my dad. He has been my rock from day one. When my mom passed away in 2013, my brother, my dad, and I all became even closer than we already were. We were shattered at her loss and had to somehow put the pieces back together again. While it was difficult, we all helped one another and found strength in being together. This blog was actually born in that time period. My very first post was a remembrance of my mom and what an amazing woman she was. Remembering her and what a strong woman she was gives me a drive to achieve all that I can. She never gave up and always had a positive attitude despite the circumstances with her illness.

I feel very blessed to have my family. Even with my mom passing, I know she is looking down and proud of all that I have achieved, especially thebirth of my daughter Ava. Being a mother myself now also gives me all the inspiration I need to be my best and most successful self. I now have my daughter looking to me, as i looked and still look to my parents for inspiration and confidence. My family has always been my number one source of empowerment and I cannot thank them enough for providing me with that.

T3 Volumizing Hot Rollers LUXE

in

Hello all and happy Wednesday! If you're like me, then time is of the essence and something I seem to never have enough of! I try to make my morning routine as quick and efficient as possible so I can get my day started with little Ava. When I was in college, I used hot rollers every day. I loved the big bouncy curls they created and how I could keep them in while I was getting other things done like my makeup, brushing my teeth, and so on. I always felt they saved me time while doing my hair. Typically, I don't do very much to my hair so whenever I want a polished look, it has to be with a tool that will be quick and easy.

T3 is quickly becoming a go-to brand for all types of hair styling tools. Their quality and price point cannot be beat! Their newly enhanced hot rollers deliver shiny hair with lots of volume and curl. I was amazed at the amount of volume I had. Powered by advanced T3 HeatCore Technology, equipped with dual temperature settings for all hair types, each roller ensures optimal heat transfer for lasting volume, body and shine. The velvet flocking on each roller boosts shine and grips with no tangles, a huge plus for me! Having long hair, tangles do happen so this is a nice feature to have. Their insulated rim makes handling and wrapping your hair a breeze. 8 crease-free clips are included to hold the rollers firmly in place. These hot rollers are great for shoulder length or longer hair.

T3 SinglePass Luxe

in

You may have noticed in a few recent posts that my hair was straight. I always wear it wavy or curl it, but wanted to try something different instead of my go-to looks. T3 is a company that I've heard quite a good deal about. I can't help but love the white and rose gold detailing too! Their SinglePass Luxe features their digital SinglePass technology delivering consistent heat without over exposure. This ingenious tool will style your hair in one effortless pass. The ceramic plates create long lasting results. You can create waves, flips, add volume, straighten,  and even curl. This tool really is too good to be true!

I like to air dry my hair, which helps create my natural waves, but also because I feel it keeps my hair healthier. Once my hair was mostly dry, I used the Featherweight Light Hair Dryer. After that, I used the SinglePass Luxe to straighten my hair into a silky finish. I added little flips at the ends of my face framing layers. That's about it! It's a super easy style created with luxurious tools that are versatile and leading in technology.
