For more photos and up to the minute news on the launch of Ouidad’s brand new Climate Control Frizz & Flyaway Fighter follow us @Ouidad and search #FrizzFighters.

You don’t need to make it harder to refresh those delicate tresses by stretching and pulling them into a ponytail, or smothering them beneath a hot head wrap at the gym. You don’t have to sport a braided style or beg your stylist to cut it short just to keep your curls looking cute.  Do it the Ouidad way and toss those ponytail holders and head wraps – give way to the curls!

Quick Workout Tips for Curls:

1) Give your curls a post workout boost with Ouidad’s Botanical Boost. Designed to soften, moisturize, detangle and fight frizz, this is the perfect pick me up! Our 2.5 ounce travel size is great to leave in your gym bag.

2) To maximize your gym time, you can also multitask by conditioning your hair while you workout.  As you exercise, the heat from your scalp can help some conditioners, like Ouidad’s 12 Minute Deep Treatment, penetrate the hair shaft.  And the best part is the time you’ll save by getting your hair and body healthy at the same time!

Well, I wish I was showing you what’s in my Louis Vuitton or my Chanel bag…..but it’s just my trusty Target purse!  I have a nice camel colored cross bodied bag that I bought from Target when I was out of town and the purse I had brought broke. Well the good thing is, I got a purse that I love and have been wearing it for about the past 3 months.

So what’s in my bag?

A Kiss of Milk & Honey from Nivea (photo via Niveausa.com)

I HATE having dry lips, so anytime they feel a little dry, I put some of this on which happens to have natural Milk Protein and Honey in it.

2.5 oz. Botanical Boost Moisture Infusing and Refreshing Spray

I keep a sample sized Ouidad Botanical Boost on me for days when I need to spruce up my curls. This is definitely a must have for me to keep a refreshing spray on me.

bareMinerals is the EASIEST makeup to use. I love the fact that it is quick and easy. I keep a travel kabuki brush me and I am good to go.

MAC “Queen Bee” lipglass from the Naked Honey line from 2009. (photo via maccosmetics.com)

I just recently was at a CCO where they sell several discontinued makeup from several major brands such as MAC, Bobbi Brown, etc.. I found this perfect peachy shade called “Queen Bee” which is described as a mid-tone apricot with multidimensional pearl. I feel in love and I just found it in 2011…Where was I in 2009 when this came out?

Palladio Beauty Eye Ink in Black (photo via palladiobeauty.com)

I received this from a beauty blog giveaway and I have been in love ever since.  It has a felt tip pen and is super convenient so someone who isn’t that great at eye liner.  The Eye Ink glides on so smoothly AND it stays put throughout the day. Best thing is, it’s only $5.49!

Essential Earring Set from Forever 21 (photo via forever21.com)

My mother always gets on me about not wearing any earrings. A lot of times I rush out the house and forget earrings…and if my mother and I are together….she will pull into the mall or somewhere and stop and buy me earrings. I get the packs of 3 or 4 earrings from Forever 21 that has various colors like black, gold, pearl and silver so that way one of them will match with my outfit. The perfect solution…

Hair Elastics (photo via sallybeautysupply.com)

I always, always keep hair elastics (only the ones with the protective covering) at all times. I never want to be caught out in the rain, or maybe just a good hair day gone bad without them. It makes it easy and simple and I just throw my hair in a ponytail or bun.
