Product Review: Hair Signs

Phew, we made it through Monday.
And, just in case you guys were wondering, I took my new kicks out for a spin.
Verdict: they are awesome, lightweight, bright and all around fabulous.
I foresee us spending many, many miles together.

A few weeks ago I had a 20% coupon to Ulta and I was running out of shampoo and conditioner.
I took it as a sign that I needed to get to Ulta promptly.
Luckily for me (not for my wallet) there is Ulta basically across the street from my house. 

As I perusing the aisles I came across the newly designed packaging of the Ulta shampoo/conditioner.
Now, I am usually a loyal big brand girl but I thought this was worth a shot.
And! As if I needed more signs, all of their products were buy 2 get 2 free.
How could I pass that up?!
Again, more signs. 

(Lucky for you all of these products are buy 1 get 1 50% off- I'd say that's a sign for you!)

Verdict: I love them all!
The shampoo and conditioner are dong really well with my hair and I do think they are giving it more volume (my favorite).  It does not make my hair too oily and I have been able to rock second day hair more often (also my favorite. Less blow drying, yes please).
I use the primer spray before I blow dry my hair.  I was sold on it as soon as I read what all it does: conditions hair, heat protector and helps other products bind and adhere to your hair better.  Sold.
The beach spray is also great.  I'm not sure if it's as magical as the Bumble and Bumble one but for this price I think it's great.  My hair is stick straight and it can get some beachy waves into my mane which is a feat in itself so it's a winner to me!

Per usual, Ulta has no idea who I am, these are just my thoughts, I was not compensated for this review.  However, if Ulta does know who I am and wants to send me some new products I wouldn't be mad about it.

Come back tomorrow put in your two cents on a hair decision I am making this weekend!

Weekend Wrap Up: Summa Summa Time

Once again we crammed a LOT into one weekend and I loved every minute of it.
I mean, that is what summer weekends are for, right?!
Here's what went down via photos.
1. Friday night we ventured to Lowes to pick up a few items for a DIY that is in the works.
2. We then hopped over to Ulta and I picked up a few goodies.  This is my first adventure in bright pink lipstick...wish me luck.  I am quickly falling in love with that mascara.
3. I then had THE best ice cream cone from a (new to us) place, The Cone.
It was vanilla ice cream dipped in CAKE BATTER. Heaven. In. My. Mouth. It was huge and fabulous and the reason I'll be working out for the next 469 days.
4. Saturday morning Floyd and I had a mini photo shoot in the yard (more of those shots later).
5. My lilies are finally blooming!
6. Saturday afternoon we headed home and Floyd was loving life at Gmas.
7. My mom taught me everything I know about my ice cream love.  We had to try out DQ's new S'more blizzard. Also absolutely delicious. see: more running but it was worth it.
8. Sunday- Floyd's Happy Father's Day to Mister. Kisses, kisses and more kisses.
9. Mister surprised me with new runners!  He went out to run errands and came home with them-those are the type of errands I can get used to ;) 
They are pink and orange and fabulous and I can not wait to hit the pavement in them!

And that's a wrap.

How was your weekend?

Linking up with Sami!
