Daily Beauty: Tangle Teezer

Janey has baby fine hair that tangles up in the messiest knots. Brushing her hair each morning has become such a nightmare that one of us usually ends up crying.

Thankfully, Santa Claus is a kind and thoughtful (and jolly!) old man and he treated Janey to a Tangle Teezer in her stocking this year.

It seems like such a simple concept, with finely placed teeth and a clean design—but it totally works. The Tangle Teezer easily slips through Janey’s tangles and leaves her hair silky soft. She actually likes brushing her hair now!

Santa bought Janey’s Tangle Teezer at Regis, but it’s also available at Sally Beauty for $9.99.

Philosophy Pineapple Coconut Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath

philosophy pineapple coconut

I have been on the hunt for that perfect Pina Colada scent reminiscent of my very favorite beachy cocktail. Can this one perfectly replicate the frosty, frothy scent of creamy coconut milk and fresh, juicy pineapple, sans calories?

The scent is “infused with the essence of pure, refreshing coconut juice and a hint of pineapple.” Perfect to pack for a weekend at the beach as it’s a shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath all in one! It certainly sounds like my holy grail, no?

Philosophy Pineapple Coconut Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath is available from Philosophy for $16.

What’s in My Shower: November Edition

whats in my shower november

So technically it’s not November anymore. Can you believe?

How does time slip away from me like so? As I’m lying in bed, battling my cold, I realized I didn’t share what’s in my shower for the month of November.

L’Occitane Amande Shower Oil

Every winter I bust out this shower oil because it’s so moisturizing and smells delicious. Funny thing is, I haven’t bought this since 2007 when I stocked up during a Sephora Friends & Family sale. Come to my house and I won’t have any back stock of canned goods or paper towels, but I have enough L’Occitane Amande Shower Oil to last me until 2013.

Molton Brown Celestial Maracuja Sugar Polish ($60)

I received a sample of this scrub during an event at Fashion Week a few seasons ago and I’ve repurchased it twice since (mainly because Janey won’t keep her paws off it!). The sugar is coarse so be sure to stir well with your finger as it tends to settle at the bottom of the jar. I absolutely adore how this makes my skin feel and smell.

Nexxus Diametress Shampoo & Sublime Volume Conditioner

I picked up this shampoo & conditioner at Walmart last month. Many times I choose my shampoo much like I choose my football teams—based on looks and looks alone. These sleek bottles caught my eye and they’ve been working great on my fine hair.

I know I have a new face wash in there, too, but I’m feeling feverish and weak and just can’t get off my butt to go see what it is. Next time, I promise!
