Everyday Looks – Quick, Easy Curls for Long Hair

Let’s be honest, this post title should really be Everyday Looks – Quick and Easy Curls Tutorial for Long Hair that is VERY thick. My main problem with my thick hair is that everything takes forever. Drying my hair takes ages and I absolutely love curling my hair, however, it takes a century to section it all out. On top of that, I normally end up burning my fingers a few times in the process. Its a real struggle. I am constantly searching for hair dryers that shorten my dry time while not damaging my hair too much in the process. It is hard trade off, because normally a dryer that will dry my hair quickly produces a ton of heat, which damages my hair more. However, I heard great things about some new Conair products, so I set off to Walmart on a mission.

IMG_4219Tools I grabbed:

  • Infiniti Pro by Conair® 3Q™ Brushless Motor Dryer
  • Infiniti Pro by Conair® Curl Secret®
  • Conair 90 pack Bobby Pins
  • Conair Velvet Paddle Brush

IMG_3848 Step One. I used the Infiniti Pro by Conair® 3Q™ Brushless Motor Dryer to dry my hair. This hairstyling tool dried my hair in about the same amount of my time as my current high-powered dryer. This really shocked me, because when I turned on the dryer the lower temperature had me questioning if it was really going to work well on my hair. I was so wrong, not only did it dry my hair in a quick fashion, but the lower temperature minimized heat damage leaving my hair feeling smooth without as much frizz as normal. IMG_4167Step Two. I am also extremely picky about my brush. I have had the same brush since high school (sorry I know that is gross, I clean it I swear). I just haven’t been able to find another paddle brush I like as much. But, I decided to try the Conair Velvet Paddle brush because it looked so appealing. After my hair was dry, I brushed through my hair and started my first inch section of hair. IMG_4171

Step Three. I used the Infiniti Pro by Conair® Curl Secret® to curl my hair. The idea behind the product is genius. It is virtually impossible to burn yourself! All you have to do is place a half-inch to an inch strand of hair into the chamber and the tool draws your hair in the chamber, curls it for a few seconds and then beeps consecutively when it is finished. I opened the chamber after I heard two beeps (this seemed to be the perfect timing for my hair) and out came a perfect curl!

Step Four. Enjoy all the extra time on your hands, because the Infiniti Pro by Conair® Curl Secret® leaves you with effortless curls in no time at all! It reduced my curling time by over 50%. That is so huge in the morning when I am rushing to work.

    I’ve wanted to try that curler for awhile but I’ve been gawking at the price tag on it!!! The dryer looks wonderful too. It may be time to replace my old reliable that I’ve had since either high school or middle school lol!

If you’re looking for a relaxing Galveston, Texas resort with a little luxury, put The San Luis Resort on your list. 

From the gorgeous Texas coast views and poolside cabana (the fruit + champagne were such a nice touch 🥂) to an amazing poolside lunch, it was the perfect way to slow down and enjoy some time together.

We spent the evening at Grotto + grabbed gelato, started the next morning with an incredible breakfast buffet at Blake’s Bistro, and finished our getaway with a couples massage at the spa. 🧖‍♀️✨

A beautiful resort, good food, time to unwind, and quality time together… honestly, what more could you ask for? ❤️

  • If you’re heading to @homedepot anytime soon… SAVE THIS! 👀🧡 I found SO many good home finds on my trip to Atlanta for Home Depot Unmatched, and these made the list!

✨ My favorite: this fan! Our old one was putting out basically ZERO air, and this one has completely changed the game. It’s functional AND so chic… now I want to replace every bedroom fan in our house 😂

🔥 Kevin’s favorite: the grill — and yes, it has a SEAR ZONE!

The RYOBI detail scrubber kit is another must-have (seriously, cleaning just got a whole lot easier), plus the clamp fan kit and so many other smart home finds you’ll want to see.

🧡 Comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links!

  • #ad Back-to-school is here, and my food stash is ready! 📚🎒 From quick breakfasts and grab and go options to snack breaks, after school treats and an easier cleanup, I’m keeping these favorites on hand to help make busy school days a little easier.

🥞 quick breakfast: @belgianboys Bite Sized Waffles and Pumpkin Spice Bite Sized Pancakes are easy to warm up for busy mornings, and pro tip - the waffles are delicious warmed up in the air fryer for a little crisp.

🎒 on-the-go: @katefarms Kids Nutrition Shakes are one of those things I like having ready for the mornings when we’re rushing out the door. They come in Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry, so there are a few options to choose from.

🍑 snack breaks: @sunsweetgrowersinc PlumGood Digestive & Defense Plum Juice is a crisp, refreshing option with fiber, zinc and vitamin C, plus the individually wrapped Sunsweet Ones are easy to grab for snacking or lunches. And right now, you can get $2 off your next purchase!

🍩 after-school treat: @bakeful_eats Pink Sprinkle Mini Donuts and Confetti Mini Brownies are soft, fun and made with simple, quality ingredients. They’re also 25% less sugar than traditional mini donuts/brownies, and there’s currently a BOGO offer at Target!

🍦 after-dinner favorite: @bubbies Churro, Strawberry and Cookies & Cream Mochi make the perfect little sweet treat. I think the hardest part is deciding which flavor to pick!

🍽️ less cleanup: @solocup AnyDay Plates + Cups are strong, convenient and grease-proof, making them an easy addition to busy days when I’d rather spend less time cleaning up and more time with the family.

Breakfast, snacks, treats and everything in between… We’re totally prepared for back-to-school! 🙌
