My days usually start an hour before my alarm rings, when I’m dreaming about the million things I have to do that day. It does stress me out every now and then, but over the past four years I’ve tried to prioritize my work and that helps. Obviously my day evolves a lot around fashion and beauty, since that’s “what I do”, but there’s always time for coffee, buying flowers, and shooting for my blog…
I have a little beauty routine in the morning – which I’ve shared with you before – and I can proudly say I’m still sticking to it, and that’s big, for me as a beauty-rookie. So first I wash my hair with Nexxus New York Salon Care Hydra-Light Rebalancing Shampoo, followed by their Hydra-Light Restoring Conditioner. It makes my hair feel light, fluid, and clean, and it’s the perfect base for the products I use during the day.
Because I blow-dry my hair every day, I started using Nexxus Heat Protecting Mist. It gives my hair an extra layer of protection against the heat of the blowdryer – which can be quite invasive and damaging when you use it every day. When my hair is almost dry, I part my hair in the middle, spray Nexxus Root Lifting Mist, and repeat this parting to the sides. This gives my hair more body and structure, which makes it look fuller.
I go off to get my morning coffee, or in this case iced-tea since it’s so hot in New York, and iced-coffee still isn’t something I’m used to. From there I go to a cafe to work on a blog post and check my emails. When it’s still early in the morning, and quiet around the Village, I like to sit outside. Though these days it warms up so fast, that I maybe make it to an hour outside before running back to a nice air-conditioned place.
Since I never know when my hair decides to go “flat” again, I don’t leave the house without my Nexxus Root Lifting Mist anymore. When I’m out of the house, I use it by parting my hair casually with my hands, and spraying it on. It’s simple yet effective, and a good on-the-go solution for me and gives my hair immediate bounce and volume.
Then it’s time to meet the kids for lunch. On my way home I often pass my favorite flower stall, and I can’t ever can never resist buying fresh flowers once a week. After lunch I quickly change and go out to shoot photos for my blog. I love the New York, and especially downtown, backdrops so much, I think I will never get bored with those.
