Holiday Hairstyles

Holiday Hairstyles

 

There is not a day that goes by that I don’t have serious hair envy as I browse through Pinterest. So many beautiful, gorgeous, and shiny styles! Having an angled bob I find it unusually hard to do anything with my hair other then teasing it and wearing it straight (and I’m totally cool with that because I LOVE) but sometimes a gal wants a little curl in her life! With the holidays coming up I am on the lookout for a holiday hairstyle that will be easy to recreate and I of course ran over to Pinterest to grab some inspiration.

 

Cute, right? I am loving the cute waves on the angled bob but it’s not something that this baby fine, no volume in years, stick straight haired gal can just jump out of bed and have happen. I need a little help from my friends at Pantene to create this look! Pantene, the World’s #1 Hair Care Brand, is dedicated to keeping every woman’s hair healthy, shiny and beautiful so they are just who I need! I’m a planner, so to get this style I came up with a plan of attack, ha. You would think this was doomsday or something, I know it’s just hair but as a girl, we want our holiday hairstyles to be perfect, yes? So what is my plan… I’m going to use Pantene’s variety of products to recreate my most coveted holiday hairstyle.

Some will tell you that curls and waves stay better on dirty hair but ladies, they’re lying. I’m a huge fan of day four hair but when I need to get a wavy look to stay in my hair if I’m not doing it on freshly washed hair, it’s just not gonna happen so I’ve got to prep it!

  • Pantene Pro-V Heat Shield Shampoo – Full of conditioning ingredients within it’s formula that are providing a barrier around the hair strands while cleansing and protecting hair against further breakage.
  • Pantene Pro-V Heat Shield Conditioner – Provides moisture, shine, and protection for a healthy looking finish.

Since I plan on using hot rollers to achieve one of these perfect holiday hairstyles my hair is definitely going to need some bonus protection against the heat product so I have a few more products that I’ll be adding to my wet hair.

  • Pantene Pro-V ADVANCED+ Keratin Repair KERAGLOSS OIL MIST – Mist wraps hair, which is made mostly of keratin, with a protective layer to help restore its surface to a healthy looking smooth condition. Spraying sparingly onto fine hair focusing on the ends.
  • Pantene Pro-V Silky Moisture Whip – A leave-in moisturizer + styler designed with a precise blend of “super moisturizers” transforming dry hair into silky hair.
  • Pantene Pro-V Stylers Heat Protectant Spray – Providing lustrous shine while protecting strands from heat.

I’m going to blow dry my hair until it’s about half way dry and add in this spray gel, dry it all the way and then turn to my hot rollers and finish it off with a smooth serum & hairspray!

  • Pantene Pro-V Volume Root Lifting Spray Gel – Lightweight formula delivers shine and long lasting volume from the root.
  • Pantene Pro-V Smooth – Fights frizz and makes hair silky soft.
  • Pantene Pro-V Stylers Hairspray – Provides flexible hold and touchable hair for 24 hours.

See? A plan!! Stay tuned for next week because I’ll be doing another post to show you the results and how Pantene helped get me my holiday hairstyle! Now, it’s your turn you can enter below for a chance to win these products and create your own holiday hairstyles.

The last few days I’ve been feeling off. Down? Maybe.. Anxious? Absolutely. Stressed? Yep. Work drained me. Jim got sick so our schedule is out of whack. I’ve felt like there’s not enough time in the day to do everything I think I should be doing. Deadlines. My cats knocked over a full glass of soda onto my just cleaned floor. I slept on the couch to try to stay away from Jims cold and woke up miserable. I thought all day it was a day earlier then it was. I hated my dinner. All tiny little things that trigger my anxiety when happening all at once. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Here’s a strange way my anxiety and depression presents. Whenever I even feel it starting to creep in a tiny bit I get SO ANGRY at myself. Like I’ve done something wrong even when I know I haven’t. I get angry at myself for not having a plan to turn it around. Full on rage that I can’t even figure out why it’s happening. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Usually when that happens I’ll force myself to figure it out. Plan it out. Make a list. But right now? Right now I’m choosing to just sit with myself. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
We all deal with the shit that comes with life. Big or small. Life is sometimes a bitch. And that’s fine. We get to do it all again tomorrow. Just a gentle reminder that it’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to just stop and let your body rest. It’ll all be there in the morning. Give yourself permission to just be still if you must. ■ ⠀

HAPPY. Someone asked me the other day how I was doing and without even thinking about it, for the first time in over a year I answered “I’m happy” and it was the truth. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
For so much of 2019 I was still swimming in a pond of trying to figure out how to navigate everything that was thrown at me the day I found out about Jim’s addiction in late 2018. There were moments when I didn’t know if I would be here the next day. Moments when I wanted to end it all. Moments when I wasn’t sure we’d survive this financially. Moments when I wasn’t sure if I could eat that week. Times when I was sure our marriage wouldn’t survive his addiction or my overwhelming feeling of betrayal. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
I had struggled with anxiety and depression long before Jim picked up heroin. But I spiraled once I was faced with the fact that everything I had known for so long was just not what I thought. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
He has handled recovery with so much strength that I can’t help but be inspired by him. In a few days he will have been clean for 15 months. I’m proud of him and I’m happy for us. And while it wasn’t our finest hour. I don’t know that I’d change it. Which might sound crazy. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
The truth is it brought us closer. It made our marriage stronger. It forced me to pull strength from places I didn’t know I had. It showed me what actually mattered in this world. It showed me who my friends were.⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Do I still have bad days? YEP. Do I still struggle? YEP. Are there weeks when I wish our bank account would be a little more flush? YEP. But at the end of each and every day I finally lay my head down proud, grateful, and happy. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
If you love an addict, if you stay or you go, I want you to know that it will get better. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. <3 ⠀
