Inspiration Monday Haircut and Style





Hi all! It's been a while! I thought I'd post today and assure you I am after all, alive. I know, I know, you're relieved (or not). I realize I didn't post AT ALL last week, although it wasn't on purpose. Life just got....hectic. It was a well-needed break and I feel refreshed and full of new ideas! Inspiration Monday this week was just the thing to get me back on track! A beautiful Eva Mendes in a simple, feminine look.
When I saw this look I immediately knew what belt I would wear, and that my usual bag was the perfect fit! The rest, however took some thinking. This skirt is the closest to brown I own (I don't wear a lot of brown) and since the bank has a no-t-shirt policy I threw on this lace top before heading to work. As for the shoes, I couldn't resist a little color so I broke away from Eva's neutral-colored ones opting for a pretty blue.
So what has everyone been up to the last week?! I desperately need to catch up! I feel like I've missed so much. My week was spent mostly soaking up quality time with my Hubby and trying to find peace in all the chaos. We went to the state fair Saturday and filled up on cinnamon almonds and corn on the cob then finished the night at the opening of a new haunted attraction. (I wouldn't recommend it if you have a severe irrational fear of werewolves like me....)
Hope your week is off to a good start! Be sure to check out what other's came up with for Inspiration Monday over at Two Birds and expect me to be making the rounds to catch up with everyone!!

Hello, my name is Megan- I'm a hair salon owner and beauty blogger over at TheBeautySnoop.com I am excited to be a guest today, plus I get to talk to you about one of my favorite topics; Warm Weather Beauty. If you are gearing up for Spring Break or just planning a summer trip to your local pool, don't forget to take along my must-have beauty items so that you always feel and look your best.





1. Evian Mineral Water Spray The only time I have ever really splurged on a hotel was on my honeymoon in Maui. We stayed at the Four Seasons and one of the best parts of the trip was the poolside amenities. Handsome young men would walk around the pool offering patrons cold towels and spritzes of Evian Spray. It made me feel like a celebrity, but it also made my skin feel ahhhmazing. The mineral spray refreshes warm skin and helps remove sweat and salt water. Now I never go to the pool without a travel can in my beach bag. *Paparazzi optional


2. Buxom Lip Gloss You'll find at least three tubes of this stuff in my purse at any given time. I have almost every color- but I find that when I am not wearing much makeup (say at the pool for instance) wearing a darker berry shade makes me look as though I am still wearing enough color to feel confident. The tingly plumping action is just an added bonus to the great shades.


3. Nerd Glasses My best Spring Break memories all involve 'alternative ID' games that I played with my girl friends. Whenever we would meet a new group of guys, we would introduce ourselves as a different name and identity. (I rock a really great English accent) The fun part would be trying to remember which name we were currently using without exposing the game. It always ends in laugh-attacks and confused boys... highly recommended!


4. Sun Shade Hat Everyone knows the damage that sun can cause to your beautiful skin. So look great while protecting yourself in a stylish fedora. This one is a great size, offering a large enough brim to protect your face, but it's not too floppy that you can't see out from underneath of it. Tres Chic.


5. Image Matte Sun Block My favorite skin care line is Image Skin Care I use it daily and have had great results with it for my own acne-prone skin. Their oil-free sunscreen smells amazing (citrus flavor) and doesn't leave skin shiny or slippery. I use it year round, but I never go to the pool without it either.


6. Color Block Swim Suit I kind of loathe swim suit shopping, especially only six months after having baby number two... but there are more cute one piece suits out this season than I have ever seen. I love this color block option from TopShop, especially since the color combo is so unique. Red and Pink can be friends after all, who knew?


7. Goody Spin Pins If you love a casual updo like I do, you'll love the possibilities with Spin Pins. These pins are great for tying up a loose bun of curls when you are going from beach-day to date-night. Just loosely wrap your tousled hair into a low bun, then spin the pins in at the base of the bun for a secure hold that screams 'easy and breezy'.


I hope you have a fabulous Spring Break and summer season. I know I can't wait to get a little sunshine on my face and spend time with friends. What are your summer essential beauty products? Let us know in the comments below. And be sure and stop by my blog and say hello too!



Want to win one of Megan's must-haves? And a Spiral Wand so you can get those perfect Spring Break waves? You're in luck! Megan is giving away a Buxom lipgloss and a Spiral Wand to one lucky person! Enter using the Rafflecoptor below.

 Cutting the curly hair into similar version of Faux hairstyle is great idea. Though these hairstyles 2013 usually apply for men with straight hair but it still looks nice for curly hair.

 For more classic look, cutting the hair in medium length is one great option. The basic style has to be medium-length bob which is then combined with layers for nicer hair ends. Deep layers will do great. Make sure the hair is below the ears so that the face will appear longer. Try to get medium-length side bangs as well to the hair will look thicker and frame the face more symmetrical. The curls itself can be in small to medium size, depends on how you want them to be. You'd better not use hairspray so that the curls will stay natural.


After all, curly hairstyles 2013 for men are doing as great as straight hairstyles and this is one great offer that men can get once in their lives.
