Beauty: Shoppers Drug Mart To ‘Do List

Summer is almost here, and if you have long hair, you’ll need an up-do or two to keep your locks looking good even on the most humid of days. For a few years now, my go-to has been a braided crown – not only is it super easy to achieve, you can wear it for any occasion – from summer weddings, to music festivals, to brunch. And thanks to Shoppers Drug Mart, Nexxus, and Dove, I’m going to share The To ‘Do List for achieving this perfect summer hairstyle with you. As I mentioned, this is a pretty easy look to create. It works best on dirty-ish hair, so it’s a great hairstyle for those bad hair days.

To start, spray Dove Invigorating Dry Shampoo (must-have product for the summer!) on the roots to refresh, absorb oil, and add a bit of texture to your locks. Next, part your hair in the middle and split it in two sections. Braid each section (I prefer the fishtail braid, but any braid style would work), pulling hair away from your face. Once you’re done braiding, loosen the braids a bit to create more volume. This look works best when it’s a little messy, so don’t worry if a few locks are out of place. Grab one braid and wrap it over the top of your head, pinning until it’s secure. Take the other braid and do the same thing, tucking the end under the first braid and pinning in place. Spray Nexxus Comb Thru Touchable Hold Finishing Mist to secure the hairstyle. This hairspray is amazing because it doesn’t leave my hair feeling stiff or looking flaky, but still holds all of my favourite hairstyles in place. Once the braids are secure, you’re all done and ready for anything summer throws your way!

If you follow me on Snapchat (styleblogca), you already know that I have a bit of a Shoppers Drug Mart addiction. I probably end up stopping in at least 5 times a week for most of my household, beauty, and grocery shopping. It doesn’t help that the Shoppers App is so good at personalizing my coupons, and helping me rack up those Shoppers Optimum Points. If you’re not using the app, I can’t recommend it highly enough – it’ll help you save a ton of money while keeping your hair looking great. So tell me, do you have a go-to summer hairstyle? Share in the comments!

TRESemmé, Nexxus and Dove, all available at your local Shoppers Drug Mart, have all the right products to help me get all the latest summer trends. Whether it’s a braided up-do for the local patio or loose tousled waves for that effortless beach look, they have everything I need.

What I Wore: On Top Of The World

20 April, 2010 Nelia 4 Comments

I absolutely LOVE weekend brunch! Which could be one of the reasons why I’m in such a dire need of hitting the gym lately. Last Saturday, my girlfriends and I checked out a new brunch spot on Church St. that served yummy Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast…ahhh…so good (Foodie post is coming soon)! And after the gluttonous, but oh-so-delicious get-together, shopping was in order. So Al and I hit up a few shops for some shoes and office clothing (yeah, we like to live on the edge!). I’d say that shopping was a success, with 2 pairs of Aldo shoes in the bag, some Sephora goodies, a Jacob dress, and a couple of small canvases to paint something for my newborn nephew – probably a baby Tigger!

The weather was somewhat cool, and that was probably why I kept getting hot and cold throughout the day, having to take off my coat, only to put it back on in a few minutes. And now, I am rewarded with a major pain in the butt cold! Well, not literally pain in the butt…more like pain in the throat, head, eyeballs, chest, and everywhere else, including hair! I love spring as much as the next person, but this flip-floping has got to stop! Sounding like a man really doesn’t work well for me. Happy Tuesday, from my couch!

Hair Love

16 April, 2010 Nelia 1 Comment

Today, I decided to put my hair up and wear it in a milk-maid braid, sort of like this Oscar de la Renta model, except more messy and without a scarf tied in. I really want to learn how to incorporate a ribbon into my braid without ripping out all of my hair in frustration. Perhaps I’ll do it this weekend and will post later on. Any tips would be appreciated. Happy Friday, lovelies!
