I’d be fine with this

 I tried the Dry Bar shower cap and the Blow Pro shower cap, and the Blow Pro one is FAR superior! I felt like the Dry Bar shower cap was too shallow and loose. But the Blow Pro one fit snuggly and was deep enough that I could really pull it over my ears so no moisture got trapped underneath! Believe it or not, I found the Blow Pro cap at Costco for $10.00! If you are a Costco shopper (ahem Grace), snag one next time you are there. It’s totally worth it.

I’ve mentioned a few times that I’m a huge fan of the Pink Innocencia fragrance from Sonia Kashuk (at Target). I’ve seen a lot of it on sale in stores–so keep your eyes out for it!

I made these sugar cookies recently and they are pretty much heaven.

So this is a bit intriguing to me–it’s an overnight hair perfector to help you go a few days between shampoo’s. I’m guessing it’s a bit like a nourishing dry shampoo?

This is a great idea for organizing your clutches or zip pouches!

My mom turned me onto the show Fixer Upper with Chip + Joanna Gaines on HGTV. I’ve nearly developed a crush on that couple I like them so much.

OMG doesn’t everyone have a crush on Chip & Joanna?! HA! They are adorable, their designs are amazing and they have they cutest family…and now I sound like a creepy stalker lol ; ) Love them.

Genevieve says · 03.06.15

I feel the same way! I love that Chip has a thing about his hair & is so silly. It helps that my husband likes him too so we can watch new episodes together (and the weekend marathons because we all know the only other thing on TV during weekends is Indiana Jones or Star Wars)

I’m intrigued by that Living Proof product now too…might have to pick it up to see if it makes a difference between shampoos. And yes, I too have a crush on Chip and Joanna Gaines! I just love their banter and her style is exactly what I would want for my home. If you want to indulge a little more, check out her blog: magnoliahomes.net/blog/
She’s got some diys and pictures of the houses they’ve done on the show.

I second your near crush on the Gaines! Sometimes when I’m talking to my husband, I’ll refer to Chip or Joanna (as if we’re friends and on a first name basis…ha!). And the bad (good) part is my husband knows exactly to whom I’m referring!

The overnight protector peaks my interest. I’ve tried Living Proof’s Perfect Hair Day Shampoo and Conditioner and it wasn’t for me (I use Pureology Hydrate and I’ve just not found any other shampoo/conditioner to suit my hair as well as that does) but the promise of extending the wear of my hair between shampoos may have me trying another of LP’s products. I’ll keep my eyes open for your review should you decide to try it!
I agree with you on the Gaines! The are so much fun to watch; not only talented, but seem like wholesome, down-to-earth people!

Yes, please give us a review on the Living Proof Overnight Perfector! I trust if you think it’s worthwhile. Oh my, I do love Chip and Joanna! They are so cute together…an adorable family!! I’ve loved the beautiful pictures of your “family of four”…..you, too, are an adorable family!

Thanks for all the tips, love these types of articles. It’s funny you mention (along with some of your other comments above) having a “crush” on people on that HGTV show. I will check them out…..but at my house I am such a fan of your blog and following you and your family on here and on Instagram that when I show my husband pictures or videos of your family he now knows exactly who I am referring to so you are also a celebrity Kate, At least at my house. And no I am not a creepy stalker, simply a fan. Have a great day and weekend !!

Chip and Joanna Gaines are on my tv all the time. My husband is a bit concerned. I told him that if we won the lotto I would fly them to Washington to design a farm house for us. Love their style!

I’m from Texas and went to Baylor while Joanna was there! Love Fixer Upper and them! My 4 year old son likes to watch it with me and will ask when it will be fixer upper night. He also totally heard the “theme” song on spotify the other day and while I couldn’t place it, he knew right away. He likes demo day!

Perfect timing on the Living Proof suggestion. Could go two days between washes while pregnant, but my good fortune has run out 2 mos postpartum! Online reviews look good, can’t wait to try.

My husband and I love watching Fixer Upper too! Their chemistry is great! They seem like such genuinely nice people…people you could really love in real life too. 🙂 We DVR them all so we don’t miss a single episode.

Plus, I love Joanna’s designs…her houses all look so comfortable and “lived in” instead of looking like showrooms.

This post made my day! I’ve been looking for a good shower cap as the ones I “borrow” from hotels never last. And Fixer Upper is my not-so-gulity pleasure. I would move to Waco in a heartbeat to have them do a house for me.

The perfect hair day night also peeked my interested. I went to go check it out and it looks like its not a dry shampoo based on what I am reading on how to use it.

What it is:
An easy-to-use solution that provides up to one week of more shiny, vibrant, manageable hair overnight, with benefits that last through five shampoos.

Suggested Usage:
-Use before bed.
-Apply to damp or dry hair.
-Start with two to three pumps.
-Spread product between hands.
-Evenly distribute from root to tip, focusing on ends.
-Comb through.
-Leave on overnight.
-Style or wash out in the morning.
-Use as often as needed.

Yes, this. I didn’t see anything in the product info or reviews that would indicate its purpose is to help you go longer between shampoos. Seems more like a deep conditioner that works on your hair overnight and its effects LAST even through several shampoos.

Agree, its not a dry shampoo at all.

Ah! I’ve been on the hunt for a good shower cap. I got a crappy one for $2 from CVS and it failed me. It failed really hard. I’m glad you linked this one to Ulta, because I actually have one of those where I live. We don’t have Costco.. and I feel like I’m missing out! I’ve never been in one. The Perfect Hair Day Night Cap sounds great! The longer I can go without washing my hair the better, thank you for bringing this to my attention!

So excited to try the new Living Proof product! I have a gift card to Sephora and have been trying to figure out what to use it on = bingo! I’m a huge fan of the line and have really enjoyed most of the stuff I’ve tried. The Perfect Hair Day 5-in-1 treatment is great and I’m totally obsessed with the Style Extender. It makes my stick straight, fine hair hold a curl for 3 days when I use a curling wand AND NO HAIRSPRAY! Can’t wait to see how this one works… the reviews make it sound really promising.
