I've been extending by blow out! Here's my secret.


This is a magical product. No. Really. I am a busy mom, and I also do not like to wash my hair daily. There's no need to. But there are days like let's say after the gym my hair needs to be freshened up. I don't have all the time in the world just for me. So if I fit in a work out, that's my one mommy thing for the day. It's the gross truth. OK calm down, I shower if its a total sweat fest lol. 
I have found a nice little trick for my hair that has kept my hair big and bouncy, full of big waves and volume. 

After a blow out I like to sleep in a bun to try to maintain it, but not always  successfuly. Now all I do is I incorporate 'Not Your Mothers Clean Freak Refreshing Dry Shampoo'. 
 At the end of the day I spray my roots, brush with a bristle brush and bun it! (Use pins, I use the Spin Pin.) Generally its off to the gym in the morning. So the bun stays. (But if you're not off to the gym you are ready to flip your hair and tousle your roots. There you go, FAB hair!) 

OK back to the gym. You had a moderate work out. An hour of the elliptical, and some weights. Not a huge sweat fest. But the roots of your hair are a bit damp. No worries, keep your bun in let your hair dry, and spray your roots. Hop in the shower (non hair wash day). All done, flip tousle and  there you go: HAIR!


"Good Morning!"
The other night I didn't sleep in my bun. Had one of those days, mommies hair was wound a bit tight. Major headache, isn't that the greatest. I still sprayed a bit and brushed out. 

When I woke up I thought I had lost the volume. So I thought I would put it to a different test. No over night bun just gym, and a shower... the results were AWESOME.
All I did was flip and tousle at the roots with my fingers.
No heavy perfume smell.

So, yeah, will be buying this again! The best thing... price. I had no idea how much it was because I received mine from Influenster for testing purposes. when it worked so well I was a little nervous. I was really thinking THIS had to be  pricey. Um NO! Check it out:

It's So Swaggable!

I love testing new products, I would actually rank it as a favorite hobby. But there are not that many sites out there that really come through. I have been lucky to be apart of some great sites and have been blessed with the honor of testing, and reviewing products. One of the newest networks I have been happy to be apart of is Swaggable.

You can find reboot
 at Vitamin World! 

And get MyPoints!




Swaggable is apart of the growing trend of WOM (word of mouth) sites utilizing reviewers for their reviews on social networks. On the scale of WOM to social Swaggable is more on the social side. Mostly relying on YOUR reviews with an option to share to your networks. On Swaggable you have a separate friends network built in! On Swaggable you make friends share and vote on reviews. This is an important factor, as  participation is key ;-) 

Companies have found this one of the most valuable tool. Because every one likes something for free, including companies.  You get a free product, and the company gets valuable feed back, and maybe a new customer or two. Win Win! Another great feature of the site you can also learn about the product, go to the company site and purchase too. You can also see what friends are tying them too!

My favorite place to share products, and share in the excitement is on Instagram. This is an invaluable tool for companies, and some of the funnest interactions! While I was sick I was lucky to receive a few products that were key in my recovery. As I tried products from my "Death Bed" (it was the flu, I can so say that because YOU know how bad it can get) I would post on Instagram. None of me this time, lol there were not enough filters in the world to make the flu look 'good'.  

Swaggable is definitely one of the more unique sites because of the types of products they have. There is a diverse selection of 'not so main stream' and awesome 'green' and 'eco' products. I love to browse through the unique selection and 'WANT' them. Clicking want is similar to a wish list. And if you're lucky you might be invited to try the product. So if you want it, you better get those reviews done, and make those friends. Because two lines won't cut it, it's not going to get you the next product, because you're not going to get voted up by your peers. 
Swaggable so far has been a great experience. If you would like to give it a shot come on over. Because you might just find your next favorite product.
