  I have legit tried so many hair ties. I have thin hair and I never can seem to find one that lasts or that doesn't leave horrible creases in my hair.  I had most recent been using the plastic springy ones.  I'm not really sure what they're called.  But they always stretched out so easily.  I saw these on @ darylanndenner Instagram story and decided to give them a shot.  I'm hooked and I've gotten my sister hooked as well.  I got a 50 pack on Amazon for $6.99.  The only downside I will say is they only come in black.  I would have preffered brown or a blonde color.  But they last, I've only used like 2 in a couple months and it leaves a slight crease only if I put my hair in a tight ponytail.

  Get that expensive look for less!  I love the look of under counter lights.  I however am not very electrically inclined and I honestly didn't want to hire someone to come wire lights in.  I found these on Amazon with great reviews.  This is the 6 pack, but I believe you can get different sized packs depending on what works for you.  They simply adhere with a sticky adhesive included and Boom!  You're done.  You can either tap them to turn them on or they come with a remote.  They remote also allows you to dim them and put them on a timer.  Each light takes 3 AAA batteries and mine came with a set of batteries to start.  They are currently $34.99 on Amazon with a coupon for $10 off!

I have really fine hair and am constantly switching between shampoo and conditioner brands because so many make my hair oily and weigh it down.  This is the first shampoo and conditioner that doesn’t!  I love the smell.  It is a light cherry blossom, but not too perfume smelling.  And their website advertises their products are free of Parabens, Sulfates, Phthalates, Animal Testing, Animal Cruelty, Animal Derived Ingredients.   Count me in!  Once you get the bottles they also sell convenient refill bags.  You can find it at Ulta , Amazon , or NatureLab 's website.

  I bought these to try as I don’t drink nearly enough water even on days I work out.  I’ve seen them advertised all over and you can buy them on their direct site, amazon, etc.  I went with the passion fruit flavor, but the acai berry also sounded good.  It’s simple.  Mix one packet into 16 oz of water.  It doesn’t change the color of your water, but instead makes it sort of cloudy.  My one surprise was how salty it was.  I understand the science behind it and that there needs to be sodium, but I expected it to be more sweet than salty.  Next time I am going to try diluting it more and see if that helps.

Lets all plan some trips finally!  I have never owned packing cubes and never thought I needed them.  But this set was only $17.99.  I took it on a recent weekend trip and it made functioning with a duffel bag so much easier.  It’s 3 cubes, 3 different sized laundry pouches, and a shoe bag.  The cubes expand much larger than I thought they would and it definitely kept me more organized.  You can get them here .

 Hey all! Looking to start posting some lifestyle content, but mostly reviews on things I purchase.  I realized I love hearing reviews on what other people buy before I purchase things.  I often see people post things though saying they would never purchase something a blogger or influencer advertises.  And I hear that.  But I have before and I've found some cool things that way.  So I'll be posting what I buy and whether I like it or not.   And if you have something you've been hesitant to buy because you saw someone advertise it, send it my way.  I'll try it and be honest!
