the bomb

Behold.  My favorite hair spray in the whole wide world.  Found this product wayyyy back in the 90′s.  Gosh, am I that old?

aerogel

Since moving to the beach, I haven’t been able to find this anywhere.  I tried several other types of hairspray but nothing compared.  So I’ve literally been “off” hairspray for five years.  Not pretty.  Was complaining to my friend Carole about not being able to find it and she was like, “oh I have a great resource for it online.”  Duh.  So I bought some today.  I ordered it over here.

Happy camper.

If you try this stuff for yourself, be aware that it only takes a LITTLE to hold a style.  Lightly spray this eight inches from your head.  Don’t go all spray happy or you’ll end up looking like you’re wearing a helmet or you’re husband’s running for office.  One other thing:  I always get the small container because the larger one seems to get clogged.  Maybe because it’s liquid concrete in a bottle?

I feel like I should apologize to the environment.  Maybe I’ll earn a get-out-of-jail free card for using it because I was born with frizzy, thin, completely awkward hair and this product helps my hair seem halfway normal.

Coral must be the color of the day, as also seen in tonight’s fiery sunset.  It took my breath away.  And look how calm our water was tonight…no waves!  Here are Peter and the kids frolicking in the water during the last magical moments of daylight.

We’ll sleep well tonight.

I love the look of putting a statement necklace with a simple outfit.  It takes casual to a whole new level…yet looks so sharp.
