WHEN TOO MUCH, GETS TO BE TOO MUCH.

woah, life could use a slow down.

I'm busy, busy, busy fullfilling etsy orders & working 

(you know that real job that i have?)

but once these orders go out in the mail soon

 i'm taking a little etsy shop vacation, so bear with me

im going to refocus a little time & energy back on our house

& the hubs & I time & before he starts school & is gone day & night,

I created this mood board because i'm loving these salmon pink accessories.
i'm thinking my future-to-be-done-studio may need some of these items!

THE BEST EVER!

so usually, ok never, do i write product reviews,

but people i'm telling you this dry shampoo is the absolute best!

I just so happen to use the blonde, and since i'm not a natural blonde, 

I get some killer dark roots this not only covers my dark roots but also keeps my hair fresh!

it smells good, it works good, AND it hides those terrible roots!

My hubby joking(ly) said to me 

"so does this mean you'll only wash your hair once a week?"

haha some how he is completely weirded out by this, but
I just so happen to think it's wonderful!
