Happy almost MLB game day opening, don't ask me why I know this. Baby Fox has recently started playing baseball and he was put on the Dodgers. Which really works out for us, because Mr. is a hardcore Dodger fan, so we already had all of the gear! Lucky us because Mr. said if he would have been put on the Giants that he would not/could not wear/buy/support that paraphernalia, see die hard fan right there.

I think nothing completes a baseball watching game outfit better that some great chucks.
I bought my t-shirt at Old Navy, which has a lot of the MLB teams available right now. They don't have my exact one, but this one they are selling is pretty close. These jeans are no longer available but these are a close second.
I decided I wanted a side ponytail, but it looks so boring just pulling it to the side, so I added a little twist in it with my favorite bobby pins and tied it up and it was super easy hair style.
This works out well being a dodger fan in that Baby Fox was put on the Dodgers. Mr. said under no circumstances would he ever wear Giants gear, even for his son, so let's hope he never gets on the Giants team.
Another week of my Hair 101 series, last week I showed you how to do a small pancake braid, this is the start to many hair styles actually. This week I'm going to show you two different ways I curl my hair. One is a uniform curl and the other is used for a more messy curly look. I even show you how it loosens throughout the day and what it looks like the next morning.
Any suggestions on other hair styles you want to see? Let me know, I'm starting to run out of ideas.
Happy Hump Day Foxy Friends! It's the second week of The Blended Blog's Spring Fever. I know some of you are still in the thick of cold weather, but we can dream about Spring right?

I thought this week I would show you one of my favorite maxi dresses. I actually wore it for our family photos a few years ago, but it's definitely something that can be styled in so many ways. What's more Spring than a white jean jacket?
For my hair I decided to go with something super easy, get it's out of my face and looks like a tried just a little bit.
As always, my silly picture...surprisingly this didn't take long to do. Can I tell you how hard it is to get a jumping show when you are using a self timer? I think I almost have the timing down...
We're in the second week of my Hair 101 series, and today I thought I would talk about how to tease your hair. Something that sounds easy, but it's how I get a lot of volume for some of my more complicated hair styles. This hair style I pretty much do on the daily. It's easy, quick and makes you look way more put together then I actually am.
If you have any suggestions on what you would like to see, let me know in the comments down below. I'm working on trying to get Mr. do a hair tutorial on Mini Fox...so far no luck!
Happy Wednesday Foxy Friends! It's hump day, and I have tomorrow and Friday off, so technically this is my "Friday" woo hoo! Although I'm traveling for work on Sunday, so really I'm just replacing Thursday for Sunday, did that make sense? Anyway...we're onto the last week of the New Year Styled, and I thought it was be appropriate to try something I've never done before, a monochromatic look. Although my shoes aren't...but we'll just glance over that.

So remember last year when I challenged myself to intentionally do my hair? Well I decided I thought it would be helpful to start a YouTube series on hair 101. My How To French Braid Your Own Hair has gotten over 17K views, so I figured people are wondering about the basics. My first one is going to be how to use a bobby pin, starting next week! Let me know down in the comments if you would like me to do something specific.
How to pancake a braid to get this full looking braid is going to be next in the series.
What have you done with your hair lately? I've pretty much done nothing since I ended my challenge, haha. Maybe I need to bring the challenge back one month.
Thank you to all of you who continue to make this link up a success! Keep posting those outfits, we love all of them!
Happy Wednesday. Yesterday I had off, it was a nice break in the week, and I have Friday off, so basically I worked 4 days last week, 3 days this week, next week is 5 days, I might die, haha (dramatic I know). Anyway, I know you got a peek at what I wore for Christmas, but thought I would show you the whole outfit. It's actually a skirt and top, the skirt also comes in maroon, which I contemplated getting instead, but thought I would get more use out of a long black skirt.

In case you are wondering, I'm wearing this adhesive bra. I love it way more than a regular strapless bra, mostly because I'm not having to tug it up all night long, me and regular strapless bras do not get along! If you are bigger chested then this one will work better for you.
Random fact: The lady in the picture wearing this skirt looks like a midi...haha, not on this shorty.
I actually did my hair as well, I was watching the second season of Fuller House and Stephanie had this really cool hair do, but when I tried to figure it out I couldn't so it morphed into this. Which I think is actually pretty perfect for this outfit.
What are you wearing in your closet? Next week I'm taking the style prompt to heart and wearing something I previously never would have put together, but ended up totally loving it. Now go check out your closets and put together a completely new outfit and post it down below or next week!
Hi Foxy Friends! I decided since I am almost half way through my hair challenge that I would give you my tips and tricks on how I can now go 3-5 days between hair washings. Let me tell you it was a longish road, but totally worth it!
Let me first start off by saying that I was a wash your hair every night because if I don't my hair is a big greasy mess on day 2. So if this is you, there is hope! For reference I typically will wash my hair 2 times a week. Usually on Monday nights (because I workout that day) and then again on Friday night or Saturday morning after working out.
Be patient. This is just like anything else, it's going to take time to train your hair. You've been washing your hair everyday for how long? You can't just one day tell your hair, hey I'm going to wash you every 4 days and have it be happy with you. You are going to have to go into this know that you're going to have some crappy greasy hair days ahead of you. Seriously, like there were times when I just wanted to wash my hair! But it was for the greater good, so I continued on. I bought some of these oil wipes for my face, and used those to help bridge the uncomfortable gap between washings.

Dry shampoo is your friends, I repeat again dry shampoo is your friend. Once you get it wrapped around your mind that you're going to have a couple of months of uncomfortable days, you can move onto the next step. Which is find a great dry shampoo. You are not going to get through this without it! Seriously, you might have to try several, but it's out there, I promise. I can tell you that I've tried 4 different ones and this one works the best for me. I've tried some of the popular ones, and they just didn't work for my hair...so there is one out there, you just have to find it. Note: I've never tried the non aerosol kind of dry shampoo...not because I don't want to, just that I keep forgetting to look, so if any of you have one that you love, pass it on my way!
Tip: If you want to try this out and don't want to pay the $20ish that it is, Sephora has it for $10, you can find it in those little bins that stand next to while waiting in line. You get to try and new dry shampoo and it's travel size so you can take it anywhere.
I did a quick video for those that have never used dry shampoo, how I apply my dry shampoo. I use it liberally. I think it works best that way, especially after a workout.
I didn't realize this either, and I have NO idea if this helps or not, but I switch up my shampoo every single time I wash my hair. I do tend to use my Target Hair Food Shampoo and conditioner for when I know I'm going to go longer between washings, cause it seems to work the best on my hair. Then the other days I wash with whatever shampoo I'm trying get to get to the end of the bottle.
It takes time to build up how long to go between washings. Start with every other day, until you feel comfortable, then go to every second day, etc. Typically I try to just wash my hair twice a week. I like to try and wash it on a hard work out day, so I will wash it on a Monday night and Saturday morning...it just works out that way right now. But do what works best for you. I try to do my hair that doesn't involve heat on the first day or two, and then on the second or third day I'll add some curls so by the third or fourth day I can throw it up and have the curls help with the up style.
This was done on Day 4 hair.
You are going to need to do your hair on day 3ish to 5, sometimes I can get away with just throwing up my bangs with some bobby pins on day 3, but days 4 and 5 I need to do something with it. It's going to sometimes feel a little limp and flat, I like using a texturizing spray to help with volume, I absolutely love the Amika Un.Done Texture Spray. It gives you volume you didn't even know you had! When I first started using it I was convinced it was magic in a bottle...it's amazing stuff, especially if you have fine hair, give this a try!
This is the bobby pins keeping my bangs away (even though I don't have bangs, you get it), I do this on day 2 or 3 hair
A simple braid, I do this on day 3 and 4 hair
I also like doin the braided crown for day 4 and 5 hair.
There you have it, 5 tips on how I trained my hair to go 3-5 days between washings. Trust me girls, if I can do it anyone can. I thought, eww gross, going that long between washes, but dry shampoo really does the trick to get rid of the grease and make your hair feel fresh again.
I've been really bad and didn't take an outfit post this week, but found this on my computer and realized I never posted it. So it seems silly to be wearing this outfit when it's hot and humid outside, but hey, if I don't do it now, it will never get on the blog.
I love how the scarf just ties everything together and makes it a bit more dressed up, when in reality I'm wearing jeans and a t-shirt.
I feel like such a model in this one, the wind blowing through my hair, lol.
*I was not compensated or asked to write this review, I'm just sharing something that I really like, no one knows who I am.
Speaking of hair, I bought the Nume curling wand set. Ever heard of it? No? Well I first heard of it from Jen at From Head To Toe in her Top 10 Must Have Hair Products. I had been thinking I wanted a curling wand for a while, but couldn't justify the price, but she had a coupon code for $151 off! So what was $250 was only $99, I figured hey I get 5 curling wands in one, why not?! Guess what? I just checked and her coupon code still works, enter jensummer at checkout.**I tried googling youtube coupon codes for this and a bunch came up, so there's always a coupon code out there to use, just need to find it!
So I ordered it and anxiously waited for it to get here. I was so excited when it showed up!
What it looks like fresh out of the box.
It's like Christmas, I'm so exited!
There are 5 interchangeable wands that comes in this handy case
Even comes with a heat protectant glove, must have, this thing is HOT, my first use I barely brushed the wand against my shoulder and it bubbled up and left a nice little mark.
Here is everything laid out. You get a 32mm, 25mm, 19mm barrel, reverse barrel, which starts from 13mm from the tip to 25mm at the base, and last but not least the pearl (you can guess what Mr. said about this one).
So far I am LOVING them. Granted I have only tried the 3 barrels and not the reverse or pearl. What I like to do is use the 19mm and then the next day I get a more wavy look. This is actually after I've just used it a few hours ago.
This is I've just washed my hair, let it dry and then I section my hair into 6 pieces, curl with the 19mm and go to bed. When I wake up I comb my fingers through my hair for an awesome look. Here's what it looks like after night 1:
And then I slept on it again and here it is the next day. Still slightly wavy, but totally perfect for a casual day out and about.
So if you are thinking about a curling wand get this one, it's only $99, plus you get a free bottle of Argan Oil. I use that usually on day two when my hair is slightly frizzy, it tames those wild hairs. Not sure if that's how you're supposed to use it, but it works for me!
Let me know if you have a curling wand or are going to get and how it works out for you! I'd love to know.
When I use the other two wands I'll let you know how it works for me.
In case you were wondering why there are wet mark on the pavers next to me...this is why:
oil wipes for my face, and used those to help bridge the uncomfortable gap between washings. 
works the best for me. I've tried some of the popular ones, and they just didn't work for my hair...so there is one out there, you just have to find it. Note: I've never tried the non aerosol kind of dry shampoo...not because I don't want to, just that I keep forgetting to look, so if any of you have one that you love, pass it on my way!
. It gives you volume you didn't even know you had! When I first started using it I was convinced it was magic in a bottle...it's amazing stuff, especially if you have fine hair, give this a try!
