Hair Tea Shower

And those things have nothing to do with each other…

So far I am in LOVE with my hair :)  I went back Saturday morning to get it washed out, and blown out and its soooo soft and shiny!  I just keep running my hands through it.  I used dry shampoo yesterday morning so I could get 1 more day out of the blow out…but I definitely have a ways to go on my blow drying skills!  I bought a round brush and went at it last night but I’m such a newbie!  It still looked pretty good today but not NEARLY as sleek and shiny as my hairdresser got it!

Anyone have any good tips for blow drying???

I also can’t wait to see what it does when I let it air dry…it should still have some curl/wave to it, but a lot looser.

Recently I was lucky enough to win an awesome tea prize package through a giveaway on One Healthy Apple!  I almost forgot I had even entered when she sent me an email letting me know I won!!

I received the package a couple days ago and was in Tea heaven!

The rest of my weekend was filled with Bridal-y things!

Saturday night was my future cousin-in-laws bachelorette party!

We were out in Boston, but first some delicious Sushi.  My friend and I split this lovely plate:

In sadder news, my gym is cancelling Body Combat!!  (for now at least).  So sad :(  At least all the Combat classes will still be Kickboxing classes, but they just can’t use the Body Combat music/name anymore.  They are still keeping Body Pump thank god! 

At least I had 1 good last Body Combat class last night!
