It’s festival time so I am bringing in the season with this fun hair style! Because festivals come with creative hair styles and wardrobes, reparation is essential. I had this special hair style in mind for my first festival of the year, but I wanted to make sure that I had the right tools to revive my hair post-festival.

Being outdoors in warm temperatures means that my hair has to be repaired and moisturized once all the festival fun is over! Since I also plan to use hot tools on my hair, it’s even more important to make sure my hair is in the best shape. The Pantene Pro-V Intense Rescue Shots are the perfect reviving solution for hair damage. Pantene is the official haircare sponsor for Coachella, Stagecoach and Firefly this year and with their Pantene Pro-V Intense Rescue Shots being the #1 selling new treatment in the haircare category, I wanted to give it a try! I started by washing my hair with the Pantene Gold Series Moisture Boost Shampoo. This infuses moisture into my hair from the very beginning of my wash day regimen. After shampooing, I followed up with these amazing Pantene Pro-V Intense Rescue Shots. These single-dose tubes contain a deep absorbing blend of Pro-Vitamin B5, strengthening lipids, and natural glycerin that targets the damaged areas to give hair the flexibility and resilience it needs to endure styling and environmental stresses. Perfect for festivals, right?!?! Application is super simple as you use these shots in place of your conditioner once a week! Just leave in for 30 seconds and then rinse for 30 seconds! It’s that simple!

I can move on to styling from there, but my hair care doesn’t stop there! Caring for your hair after styling and manipulating is important too so after the festivities I repeat this super moisturizing process to keep my hair at its best! Get your hands on these Pantene Pro-V Intense Rescue Shots at Kroger for amazing post-festival hair damage control!

Enjoy, Color Bees!

Thank you Ann Taylor for sponsoring this spring look!

Adding a new and interesting piece to your wardrobe can be one of the best ways to spruce it up for spring. Along with beautiful spring colors, I like to add classic pieces with a twist! This short trench coat checks all of the boxes for a wonderful new addition to your current wardrobe.

The styling possibilities are infinite but I’m showing you one really classic way to style a short trench coat. What makes it simple is that for this look you only need one other piece, a classic dress! This dress comes in a pretty spring yellow and has a lovely scalloped square neck for added interest. What’s even more exciting is the color of the trench. We can all appreciate the neutral tones that trench coats typically come in but this pink really pops!

Last but certainly not least is these color blocked suede sling back heels to really add pizazz to an already fun look! This look is perfect for Easter Sunday but best believe, each piece can be styled in a totally different way too! I can’t wait to see how you style it.

Enjoy Color Bees!

I’m always on the hunt for beauty products that make a lasting impact. It’s no secret that Japanese beauty products have been the rave for quite some time. I’m betting that this idea is so popular because j-beauty products have some of the best results.

I’m always open to trying new things so when I found out about this DHC Japanese skincare regimen called double cleansing I had to learn all about it and try it ASAP!

So far I love it!! You start the process by massaging emollient oils into your skin and then rinsing them away. Starting with oil could remove sebum, dirt, sunscreen and other things that our skin encounters during the day. All the grime is gone from your skin but it won’t leave your skin dry! Once that’s rinsed off you follow up with a foaming cleanser. Work up a light lather between your hands with the foaming cleanser. It will gently lift an impurities while maintaining your skins natural moisture.

This double cleansing ritual comes from an older Japanese regimen of removing makeup but it does more than just remove makeup—it also nourishes and hydrates the skin.

After this regimen my skin is truly prepared for toner, serums, and to be moisturized. Let me know how this DHC double cleansing method works for you! Enjoy Color Bees!
