In spirit of flower power

All i have been thinking about since last week is the long weekend ahead! for some of us might be just a short little day to enjoy with family and for others just a chance to fill your bellys of wine which in my case i ideally would like to do both!

I am preparing my home for visits and friends to come hang. 

Since theres no better way to get your organic, flower power than at my local Trader Joe's i bought 

some flowers and even found some fresh and pretty Lavender!

Ever since i have been obsessing on the different things that can be done with fresh organic lavender. 

1. First of all it smells amazing so just have it everywhere while its fresh.

( i hung mine on top of my record player on my living room )

 You can hang it around your house as decoration to dry. It looks pretty. 

2. Make several bouquets, be very careful while doing this because flowers may crumble all over.

They say that lavender is for good luck, but i also believe that lavender has mega flower powers that help us from the inside out. From making relaxing teas, lemonades and cookies to just letting it dry and store it in little bags around your drawers. This little flower is guaranteed to turn any frowns upside down and give your home some great vibes and a nice touch.

who doesn't love the lavender pastel colors?!

I have made a PINTREST board with ideas to make the most out of your Lavender. 

Follow some of my boards and lets brainstorm together. 

I wish you all a great weekend and a 4th of july full of fireworks, good times and  laughter. 

What is your favorite flower power? 

Hiatus? maybe a little. + THURSDAY FAB FIVE! + PLAYLIST !

Hi ladies! 

i did i think in fact went on a little hiatus for a while there, really not intentional but somehow it happened. I can't tell YOU that my life is any more hectic than any of you but you know what i mean right? 

On top of it all i have been sick not in a nasty kind of way but i think its been the kind of sick that comes from mental and physical exhaustion. However no big deal, i been shaking it off quite well and taking a million vitamins, tea and  TONS of water. 

So in this break i have realized one must just have one day dedicated to awesome and what better day than THURSDAY we all need an extra little push to finish the week and that is why today

i am doing a summary of all the things that get me through my week!

the THURSDAY FAB

begins now!

1. I have this book my boyfriend gave me about LOVING YOURSELF 

its definitely a good mid week push!

2. It is VERY rainy and ugly outside today so why focus on that when you can be thinking of summer.  Ive been looking for the perfect pool float for this summer. so far..THIS 

3. Think of your happy place for me is my new reading area from where I'm currently blogging. 

4. Pick a DIY project ! Last weekend i bought a tea cup like this and i just found how to make at lauren conrads  blog! 

5. I have been so into playlists that I'm now making mine too!

Dry HAIR NO MORE!

My favorite item of the month is definitely Dry Remedy oil

Its made out of buriti which is a fruit found in water it adds moisture to the hair from the inside out. It is the next level to any oil you can imagine because the difference between any silicon based finishing oil which has silicon to coat the hair and make it "appear" smooth or shiny with this dry remedy oil its a pure essential oil 99% naturally derived it has no toxins, no silicons, no nonsense! 

It will improve the condition of your hair by 41% and its a softness you can feel as soon as you put it on. Its so light that won't weight down your style or make your scalp feel greasy. In the contrary i have dry scalp due to the cold weather and this oil has helped control it too!

I actually love the fact that aveda always has a mission on protecting the planet and helping the people by doing ethical product helping communities get water and buying the actual BURITI plant from villages of people that collect them proving means of survival to many families that work picking out the plant. Isn't it awesome?

It's always a relief when you can buy a product and know that you are not feeding a greedy monster but helping sustain hard work and life in third world countries. 

You can get your hands on this beauty at any AVEDA experience centers or At your Nearest AVEDA salon. 

If you are in the Austin area get it at Jackson Ruiz Salon !

I found a video of how this oil is made. Its so rad. Cruelty free and products with conscience rock!

What do you think? have you used dry remedy?
