Wavy wand wonders

Okay, I've tried every possible way to curl my hair. Every product, every tool, everything!
 It's not that it doesn't curl, it's that I always look like I have ringlets or perfectly spiraled hair. The curls are never soft and pretty. Its too perfect/child-ish looking.

So recently I heard about these new wands. No clamp? how great, it creases my thin hair easily anyways.

I went to check them out at Ulta.. so many decisions. Size, shape, length..
 [we are talking about curling wands don't forget ;)] 



 I debated back and forth between the barrel roller or the tapered one, but honestly had know clue what to do and was so unsure since my curling irons are all 1". I knew I didn't want smaller because it would make a tighter curl, but would bigger just produce the same result as my curling iron?

Just as I was confused as ever, this bad boy caught my eye. It didn't have the inch description and I found this odd.. As I continued to read it proclaimed it was for WAVES. hm, a tool I don't have. You'll notice its square shaped w rounded edges, how it works.. I don't know.
it does come with the glove pictured above, which helps out tremendously with the heat.

 Here is a result of the wave wand. It is amazing how quickly it "curls" and how well it holds throughout the day. when you create the waves you'll noticed they are smaller and sort of tight. Once I have completely "waved" I left cool completely and run my fingers through each piece. It seems to create more volume and a less perfect look.





If you have questions or know of a secret I am unaware of, let me know :)

30x30 by four

This is starting to get tricky. I have too many clothes for this and I'm ready to explore again. Did I miss the whole point of the exercise...? Maybe.

But really I just have too many clothes to pick 30. Let's switch to 50by50?

obsessed with dresses this week apparently.

Weekend in review

Phew! Weekends go to fast, especially when you do something every single night. And Monday's aren't fun after Sunday night country concerts.

Despite my bitching, this weekend was fantastic! So much fun with so many people I love.
Life is good.

Be sure to keep an eye out for a product review/hair tutorial sometime this week. You'll notice my hair is "wavy" or "loosely curled" in these pics. I got a new toy!

Going out is Chapel Hill is a hard thing for a State fan to admit. Having fun: even tougher. Regardless: a fun night!
One of the best places to eat in CH. + a coffee = recovery mode at its finest!
Toby Keith/Brantley Gilbert concert with some of my faves!

#mountainweekend

I've recently become obsessed with everything social media. Twitter, instagram, blogging, obviously.
Thanks, iPhone.

Spent the weekend at our condo in the mountains. Here's the weekend in review.

My BFF came along for the weekend. We celebrated her birthday nature style!
White water rafting down the Watagua River!
Nothing like a Pre-4th celebration on the slopes!
Hiking + ice cream = the good life.
Did I mention I'm working from home for a few days, up here. This is the life.
Honestly.
