My All Time Favorite Product for Fine Hair

Hi lovelies! This post in particular is one that I have wanted to do ever since I started blogging. Being the beauty lover I am you better believe I have tons of holy grail products and this is the one that started it all.

Back in my early years of high school I came across the 'new' Sunsilk line at my local grocery store. I can't remember why I gravitated towards this product but thank goodness I did because I can't picture my life without it. The Sunsilk Hydra TLC 24/7 Creme has become my most used product EVER and for good reason.

Sunsilk Hydra TLC 24/7 Creme
Price: $24.41 on Amazon (link here)
Size: 7 oz.
Marketed As: "Put those messy, bothersome hairs back in their place with Sunsilk Hydra TLC 24/7 Creme with Nutri-Keratin. It's not a conditioner, not a gel- it combines the best of both. So it tames unruly flyways for softer, more manageable hair that flows together".
Directions: "It's easy- just smooth 1 or 2 dollops through damp hair and style as usual. If needed, re-apply on dry hair for extra TLC during the day".



First of all this stuff smells INCREDIBLE! I use it every now and then after getting out of the shower to help make my hair 100% manageable and unbelievably soft. The only reason I don't use this every single day is because I am rationing it haha. It is super hard to come by now that Sunsilk has been put on the back burner which is one of the only down sides and a huge bummer!

I have pretty thin, naturally curly hair and I like it to be as soft as can be. I've noticed that when I apply this my hair feels instantly smoother and once I air dry OR blow dry it's completely frizz free and easy to work with. Since it makes the hair so soft it does exactly what it says it will do by smoothing all the flyways and making it flow together flawlessly. It by no means makes my hair greasy which can be an issue with other products and I use about a nickel size amount on my medium length hair.


Out of the entire arsenal of products I have blown through in the past 5-7 years this has always remained my constant favorite and no matter how hard it is to find I promise you I will track it down! Thankfully a bottle will last you forever and I believe I've only repurchased once in that time frame leaving me with about 1/4 of the bottle left.

PLEASE let me know if any stores near you sell this brand because I am looking to try the other Hydra TLC products as well (esp. the shampoo and conditioner) to see if they live up to this wonderful item.

What is your favorite hair product that you can't life without?
Love, Lacey

The 'What's On My iPhone' Tag + My Favorite Social Media Accounts!

Hi lovelies! Sorry it's been a few weeks since the last time I blogged! I've recently had a lot on my plate keeping up with my YouTube videos, painting my room, and taking Bogey to puppy class. Luckily, things are settling down now and I've been overwhelmed with ideas so stay tuned for more posts especially on Sunday afternoons!

As for today's topic I'll be showing you what I keep on my beloved iPhone! I am a very nosy person and find myself watching these videos all the time so after a few of you requested it I couldn't resist. Caution: This video is almost 15 minutes long! I was feeling super chatty and was really excited about my background change. I'd love if you still gave it a look though because I talk about some really cool apps that I couldn't live without!


As I was editing the video I realized how much I have fallen in love with social media. It's how I get my videos (and posts) out to the beauty community, stay up to date on issues, and get to talk to you guys! So, since I talk about so many platforms in this video I thought it was only fitting to share some of my favorite accounts with you! Here's the run down...

Instagram
Recently, my Instagram has been getting a lot of attention and I couldn't be more excited! I adore sharing my thoughts and opinions in simple, straight to the point first impressions and reviews. What I didn't realize right off the bat was that there were so many great beauty accounts that contain beautiful photos, looks, and swatches. I love me a good beauty account but I also love personal photos too. Here are my favorites beauty and non beauty included.

YouTube
I think we all know that this category could get a little out of control if I let it! I mean heck, there are so many wonderful people who inspired me to start my channel but here are a select few I especially love watching.

1. EmilyNoel83 (also her BBExpress channel)
4. Grav3yardgirl (esp. her 'Does This Thing Really Work' videos)

Vine
I don't think I could love this app more than I do right now. To see it go from 0-100 in a matter of months was truly mind boggling but also inspiring! From cover songs to comedy sketches in an extremely short 6 seconds you'd be amazed with what these people can pull off. Here are the Viners that I have to catch up on every night before bed.

I hope you enjoyed today's video and post!
