I almost didn’t come up with a Friday post today because of two things 1) we were without AC for two whole days and all I could manage to do was sit completely still yet sweat profusely (it’s fixed now, thank the Lord) and 2) we were out late last night at a concert, on a school night. But I am no quitter, so here you go.
ONE.
I shared this on Instagram yesterday, but I just love this sassy little top from Cuteheads. My friend Esther has the most darling, handmade pieces, and I love this fabric. This was a custom piece, but you can find similar items in her shop. You might want to check her Instagram page to see if she still has this fabric available.
TWO.
I took this picture right after I got my hair cut and colored two weeks ago. A fresh blow-out is something I have no idea how to master, but I’m all ears if you have any tips. My hair has yet to look like this again.
While I was at the salon that day I was talking to my hair stylist about how much my hair has changed and how I needed to find a new shampoo and conditioner. She suggested to me a new Aveda product, and I liked it for a whole three days. My hair started getting super oily after using it, so I called it quits. It could have been total user error, but it was looking like I had left conditioner in my hair. Gross.
My hair is weird ever since having Charlotte. It’s super dry, is prone to so much dandruff, is frizzy, and is now wavy, too. Do you know where my straight, silky hair went? Anyway, I saw this Bed Head combo at the grocery store, and snagged it after reading about it. I have really been loving it ever since. My hair is soft, manageable, and without dandruff. And I really like the way this smells.
THREE.
My sister gave me some of her old jewels last week (She’s a super fancy wholesale account exec for Kendra Scott. Yep, I’m a super proud sister.), and I will take her hand-me-downs forever. Isn’t that necklace that Charlotte is wearing beautiful? Char should definitely be the new face of Kendra Scott, but I guess I’m a tad bit bias.
I am LOVING their new Mystic Bazaar collection, and here is just a sampling of a few of my faves. Did you know that Kendra Scott is also sold on Amazon? Hello, free two-day shipping!
FOUR.
I am still loving our chimichurri recipe. We had this last weekend, and it was so good. I shared the recipe last summer, but you can find it here. This makes any Paleo dish extra yummy, and I have my hubs to thank for this beautiful culinary creation. You can also find out more about our Paleo ways in this post.
FIVE.
The Outcry Tour was amazing last night. To be in a sold-out arena with thousands of hands up worshiping and praising Jesus was awesome. It’s just what my tired soul needed. Hillsong United, Kari Jobe, and Lauren Daigle were my favorite, by far. If you love Contempary Christian music, you would have loved this. I’m still singing all the songs in my head.
And lastly, thank you so much for your all of your sweet comments and messages regarding my last post about not having it all together. I’m telling you, it must be in the air or we must all be going through the same season together, because so many of you are right where I am. If there is one thing I know for sure, it’s that we are not alone.
So that’s it for me. Anything new and exciting going on with you?
As always, be blessed, friend! Have an amazing weekend, and I’ll talk to you soon!
Let’s keep in touch, shall we?
You can see where I’m linking up on this page.
I use Bed hair shampoo and conditioner my hairdresser sells it and it works wonders for my hair! My hair is always shiny and less dry whenever I use it.
Whenever my hairdresser blow dries my hair I feel like a different person and I go home and do it and my hair is a hot mess. I don’t do anything different to her either, I copy carefully. So annoying!
I have really been loving it! I can’t recreate the salon look to save my life, but I guess that’s normal. :)
Hope you have a great week, Courtney!
I love the new mystic bazaar line!! The colors are beautiful!

Which Aveda product was it? Typically I LOVE their things. And yeah- even as a hair stylist myself, getting the fresh blow out look basically only happens if someone does your hair for you. You can’t hold your arms/brush at the angle the stylist can, so yeah, basically impossible ;)
It’s a new Aveda product called Be Curly co-wash. It was a shampoo/conditioner combo, and my hair just started revolting against it. I don’t know why. I usually love Aveda products, especially the way they smell. I didn’t know you were a hair stylist?! How did I miss that piece of info.
Hope you’re having a good week!
Oh my gosh she is so so so cute.
And that jewelry is gorgeous! Stay cool in this scorching weather!
Thanks, Daisy! :) We’re trying to stay as cool as we can. Hope you have a great week!
I love Moroccan Oil for my super dry, wavy, and frizzy hair :) Surprisingly, it doesn’t make it oily at all and really helps down down the frizz! I put it on my damp, towel-dried hair, and then I use Aveda smoothing before blow drying.
I’ve been using that, but it doesn’t seem to do very much for me. Maybe I just have way too high of expectations. Haha. Maybe that Aveda smoothing is something to look into, too. Thanks, girlfriend!
Gonna need that shampoo and conditioner STAT! And I am obsessed with all the new Kendra…good thing next month is my Birthday month and I get my 50% item!! Can’t wait to hug your face Monday!!
It’s been working so well. I’m loving it. Next to try is Living Proof thanks to a rec from Veronika and Meg. ;) And oh yes, the Kendra is lovely. So happy we finally got to meet up! It was fun, and I can’t wait for next time.
Yum! Pinning your chimichurri recipe!
Woohoo! Thanks, Colleen! Hope you like it as much as we do. Hope you’re feeling great!
Oh man – that concert looked epic!!! What a boost for the spirit. And had no idea Kendra Scott was on Amazon. Duh! How did I miss this?? Hope you had a wonderful weekend!!
It was a great time! And yes, of course KS is on Amazon. :) Have a great week, Katie!
That concert looked great! I would love to go to one. Charlotte is just so beautiful. She should totally be a rep for Kendra Scott. Oh and I’m loving your hair.
Thanks for linking up to H54F!

Thanks, Della! Charlotte is on the waiting list for that. Lol. Hope you had a great weekend!
That flamingo top! SO cute. And Charlotte’s new necklace is perfect, love it. I’d vote for her to be a rep =)
We love it! Cuteheads is the best. :) We’re working on the KS thing. Lol. Hope y’all had a wonderful weekend, Courtney!
Post-baby hair is no joke! Mine is still a mess and Jude is 16 months old!
Haha. Yes, it is. Hair loss, hair regrowth, and different texture…all things I experienced and am still dealing with 30 months later! Oh well. She’s worth it. ;)
