Aveda botanical products- my "therapy" go-to's

As a blogger, I want to share with my readers about the products I use to keep my hair healthy, my skin healthy, and my mind free from stress. I have realized in the last couple years that I am very driven by scents. Ask anyone that knows me they can tell you.. One of my personal favorites is Irish spring soap ( shhh.. Don't judge me.) However, just recently I linked up with an aveda expert who taught me all about their products for the skin,hair, and aroma therapy for stress relief. I sat down with Teresa for about an hour as she went through every ingredient and every support the products gives  I grew more and more in love with the brand and what it stands for. Imagine using our earth, our nature in your hair, face,and body! It's something magical, truly. It's an investment for sure, but all worth it. As women (and men) we must take care of our inside as well as our outside. Our reflection of ourselves in the mirror should be a wonderful feeling, not a disappointed one. As a person who struggles with insecurities amongst other things, I am learning to take care of me! 

No matter what it takes. I suggest you do the same!

 I've also started yoga therapy at Warrior power yoga.

As well as starting this fall taking the teacher training program to become a yoga instructor myself to help people dealing with depression, stressful lives, health issues, etc. Along with my spiritual faith in God, I believe in the yoga practice and recommend it to everyone. 

• Aveda products to try:

For Hair- Color conserve shampoo (for my recent color change) Damage Remedy conditioner ( to bring back the natural protein your hair needs)

For skin- botanical kinetics purifying gel cleanser ( feels incredible, so clean and pure!) Botanical Kinetics hydrating lotion (again, amazing product so far. My skin has been going through a dull season because of everything and this lotion makes my face feel baby soft and clean!!!)

For stress relief and lotions- They provided me with some awesome samples of their amazing stress-fix lotion infused with lavender oils and scents. 

Hand relief and repair lotions to keep your hands soft and youthful. 

Now remember, as transparent as I can be, I want you to keep in mind that all this is therapeutical for me and I am looking forward to some great results!

I hope this information is helpful for everyone like me, give them a good try and give me some feedback:-) go to aveda.com or your local aveda salon for your purchases! Thanks for reading! 

Change

This past weekend I was treated to a hair makeover. It was time for a change and I decided to "go big or go home!" I've been wanting to try the "Balayage technique ombré" so I asked the hairstylist to cut off a few inches to bring my hair back to health and I decided to go blonde! Yes blonde! I am in love with my new hair. As I've been experiencing a few rough months, it was time for a change, something new, something sun kissed Just in time for the summer! And my lovely family decided to treat me to some pampering:-)

Today my guy and I had a few errands to run to get back into the swing of things.. So we decided to do a mini shoot at the laundry mat to show off my new and exciting hair. I am ready for summer, are you??

Take a peak at some of these pics taken at our local laundry mat. I'll do a more official photo diary sometime soon.

I am currently trying out the Aveda products- color conserve shampoo and the damage remedy conditioner.

"Give peace a chance"

Life is very unexpected. And I have been experiencing a lot of changes in my life for a long time now but it seems like the last 6 months have been the most trying ones. SO, today I chose ( and had the energy ) to go outside and take a walk. The Florida weather was beautiful and I saw it as a perfect opportunity to take advantage of a good day. Here are some pics taken by my Guy, as he tried to capture the moment and tried to capture me experiencing some happy time. Enjoy!
