HAIR 

 Of class my pilus was the most hard matter for me to plan. I seriously have got some of the hardest pilus to mode in addition to await decent ever. For real. Luckily, I was able to have got a stylist come upward over to mode my pilus for me thence it would await ameliorate than usual!

The black earlier the party, I cleansed my pilus amongst Rahua Beauty Hydration Shampoo in addition to applied a rattling generous total of Olaplex No 3 handling all over. I allow it dry out in addition to went to bed. I haven't done an Olaplex No iii handling inward a few weeks in addition to was overdue. I uncovering amongst Olaplex, every 2 to iii weeks instantly is ideal for my hair.

The morn of the party, I woke upward early, rinsed out the Olaplex No 3 in addition to applied Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair Mask with a footling of the Rahua Beauty Hydration Conditioner. I used my Thermal Hot Head Cap (not pictured) to add together oestrus inward in addition to left this on for an hr patch I waited for Sage to larn to my house.

Since the weather condition was crappy, humid in addition to misting pelting (of course) I told my stylist to become heavy handed amongst all styling products to give my pilus a fighting peril against the elements. I also told her non to worry close intense, super bouncy wrap definition. I wanted my waves to elongated thence they would await longer.

Once my stylist got here, nosotros rinsed out the mask amongst cool H2O in addition to got to styling. She applied Jessicurl Too Shea! Extra Moisturizing Conditioner using her "seaweed method" technique pushing it inward in pocket-sized sections adding inward to a greater extent than in addition to to a greater extent than H2O until it looked in addition to felt similar moisture seaweed.  We did this amongst my caput correct side up. I in addition to thence flipped my caput in addition to she was extra generous amongst applying Raw Curls Anti-Frizz Spray. She followed that upward with Jessicurl Oil Blend in addition to Spiralicious Styling Gel and scrunched a bit, but non equally much equally park since I didn't desire a ton of wrap definition. I in addition to thence applied my clips thence my hairline would dry out a flake nicer. I sat nether Sage's tabular array move past times dryer but for whatever argue (I blame my pure luck inward life), her dryer decided to halt working. Luckily, I have got several blow dryers of my ain thence she took the DevaFuser since she likes the manus diffuser on that one. Once she finished diffusing close 85% dry, she used Ouidad Curl Last Flexible-Hold Hairspray to handgrip everything inward identify in addition to Raw Curls Pomade on my front end sections, ends, in addition to parts of my pilus that were withal misbehaving in addition to acting a flake frizzy. (side note: I wishing I knew why my pilus hates me thence much when I've been treating it thence good.)

Jessicurl's Too Shea! Conditioner in addition to Oil Blend both have got ingredients within to protect against diffusing heat. Also, I exercise non believe Ouidad's Hairspray is Curly Girl Method approved, but at this fourth dimension I don't have got whatever Curl Girl Method Approved Hairsprays similar it on hand.

Sage left in addition to my roots were withal *slightly* moisture because nosotros both agreed it would live ameliorate to non diffuse my pilus all the way. About a one-half hr subsequently she left I used a flake to a greater extent than Raw Curls Pomade in addition to Ouidad Hairspray. I may have got used a tad flake also much, but I only didn't desire my pilus to start poufing out also much or frizzing means also much. I was really happy amongst how she styled my hair! My pilus also lasted for quite a few days, fifty-fifty through move outs!



FASHION AND ACCESSORIES
My apparel was past times Lilly Pulitzer inward a impress called "Ocean Waves". I had a feeling my shower was going to live beach themed thence I wanted to match, summation I dear bluish in addition to turquoise prints! I really ordered this apparel on sale from a signature store months ago. It arrived also large in addition to flowy for me thence I brought it to the cleaner some the block to larn taken in. Some people country Bridal Shower Brides should article of apparel white, but I don't really similar wearing white in addition to wanted to experience to a greater extent than similar me! That beingness said, I did become traditional for my actual marriage in addition to that apparel is white.

My sandals are from Aerosoles. They're a few years one-time now. I wore these to my Engagement Party, too! I'm thence bad amongst shoes. My necklace in addition to earrings were a gift from Tommie. This necklace was the showtime slice of jewelry he ever got me, on a trip to Georgia inward 2012!




We took these pictures inward my yard earlier the party. My roots were withal slightly, slightly moisture because I wanted to have got the pictures in addition to and thence relax a flake (because I was thence nervous I was shaking!!) earlier I left! Though it was super humid, the pelting stopped a flake to have got pictures.
