I have the worst hair ever.  It goes flat by 10am.  And ... I've never been able to find a product to help me get some volume, and keep it.  Until now.

My hair stylist, Kelly Sesi from Utopia Salon & Spa in Northville, was beyond excited when I showed up for my haircut on Saturday morning, because she knew that I was going to flip over this new product.  It's called Redken Powder Grip 03.  This stuff is a powder that you shake into the roots of your hair, and it instantly gives you a boost!  No teasing, no hairspray.  Bonus, it adds a bunch of texture to your hair, too!

If you're in desperate need of volume, run to your salon and get this stuff.  I'm obsessed!

Live in the Downriver area and need an updo?  Cassandra at The Red Collection is your girl!

She was my go-to in high school for proms, homecomings, etc., and she'll be working her magic on my mom for my upcoming wedding, too!

And her prices?  Ridiculously affordable.

That's me in the pic above!

I love jewelry.  Not expensive, fancy-schmancy jewelry, but fun, costume-type jewelry.  And I seem to collect a lot of it somehow!

So one of "things" that I've been doing this week while the show's on vacation is ORGANIZING!  I'm trying to get all of my stuff in neat places and spaces, and The Container Store is helping me do it. 

Now, we don't have a Container Store in the Metro-Detroit area, but shopping online is easy.  One of my fave purchases from there this week is this Canvas Necklace & Bracelet organizer.  It has little tabs on both sides that allow you to hang all of your necklaces & bracelets.  Then, the entire organizer hangs from a space in your closet ... It has a built-in hanger!

Cost: $19.99

I have so many weddings coming up (including my own!), not to mention events where I'll need to dress up and look somewhat nice.  Quite honestly, I love shopping, but I simply can't go out and spend a ridiculous amount of money on dresses and "going-out" clothes.

My friend Kelly introduced me to asos, the BEST online clothing, shoes & accessories store (for men AND women) with price tags that aren't outrageous.

Think: Designer-looking clothing at affordable prices.  It's the best. 

I'm even thinking about ordering my bridesmaids dresses from asos!
