Holiday Skin-Mind-Body & Hair Savers

There’s no denying the ho-ho-holidays are here! Is it just me or does it feel like Thanksgiving ended and, BAM, we were too quickly thrown fast-forward into the hustle and bustle of December? No pause button in sight until January 2nd!

This busy time of year filled with holiday parties, travel schedules, work commitments, and more blow-drys than usual can take a toll on how our hair and skin looks, leaving us feeling pretty BAH HUMBUG! Oh… and pooped out!

To get you through this festive season, I’m sharing some of my favorite beauty & mind savers that will brighten your face and help rescue your hair your skin and your mind- parched from too many sweets, non-stop days, over-thinking and late nights. These are my on rotation, go-to products that will bring you back to looking and feeling FALALALALA for the rest of the month and into the new year!

There’s something in the Ayr and it’s Ayr Skincare - This clean beauty brand is at the top of my list for results. Created here in Southern California by a mother and daughter duo who are passionate about healthy skincare.

Let’s talk healthy hair with Bogavia & here’s a super powerful Serum from Instytutum

I’ve tried sooo many clean deodorants and Nala is my #1 choice. For me personally- it works! Hot off the press is the new Olie Golden Ray Glow Drops from my friend Melissa Meyers - It’s a #musthave for face oils!

Out the door and looking fresh - Try Iris & Romeo - Best Skin Days for a beautiful glow and coverage. Dr.Perricone - Tried and true, powerful Growth Factor Firming & Lifting Serum.

This lipgloss has the fragrance that feels like you’re strolling through a garden of roses, it’s an instant calming of the mind with a swipe of the wand. Never…yes never have I used a highlighter so great as this one from Westman Atelier.

Two of the most beautiful products I have tried are from Soma Ayurvedic - Made in India -Their jars and serum bottles are made from recycled glass, that is stamped directly with a press. They do not use paper stickers and made in small batches. Super clean, super consciences. A wonderful gift for your clean beauty, earth lover.

What better way to roll than with this Opal roller - Opal is a highly protective stone, it shields you from negative energies. It also has the ability to take your desires and putting them out into the universe. Sign me up!

Are you familiar with Cowshed? A British spa brand from Soho House. Proudly made in England, their products contain pure essential oils and wildcrafted plant extracts to nourish mind and body while always remaining honest and natural. I personally fell in love with the fragrance.

BOGAVIA CLEAN BEAUTY HAIRCARE - RADIANT RESULTS

My Bogavia Experience

Lately, everywhere I go someone seems to comment on my hair. “OOH, your hair looks so pretty and healthy!” “Wow, your hair is so shiny!”  and “who does your color?” (thank you Kacey Welch) I recently made a change to my wash and go routine, so I can confidently attribute this flood of compliments to one specific thing….I introduced Bogavia Hair Care products to my mane. 

Created by Alison Ragusa, and based on her love of self-care rituals and interest in plant-based, all-natural products, she created the Bogavia hair and skincare lines: made of all-natural ingredients that give real results! Last month my friend Melissa Meyers and I attended FounderMade - where they connect consumer brands with active retailers, investors, and influencers. This year there were several brands that stood out to me personally and Bogavia was one of them. Meeting founder Alison was one of the best moments, her passion was like lightning in a bottle. When you meet founders like Alison who believe in their products 200% you feel it and you can’t wait to try it, so I couldn’t race home fast enough to wash my hair.

Is it just me, or do you also have to gear up and mentally prepare for the hair-washing and drying process? My hair is actually super easy to manage, it’s mostly a time issue, but seeing the results of my hair looking and feeling shiny and healthy these past few weeks are worth jumping in the shower for! Bogavia products have a light fragrance, very fresh and clean. Using the Bogavia products make this whole non-negotiable routine more satisfying.

Hair Towel

The Strengthening Shampoo is power-packed with a mix of plant-based ingredients. I have used all-natural products before and one thing I always miss is that satisfying lather that makes you feel like your hair is getting really clean…. I know, I know…that can be smoke and mirrors, but it is satisfying nonetheless…Bogavia feeds my need for lather, naturally. It’s consistent; not too much so it feels like it won’t rinse out and not too little so you feel like it’s just not doing the job. 

After shampooing, I follow with the Strengthening Conditioner. In addition to hydrating my dry locks, it smooths and detangles too, giving my hair the perfect foundation to enter the blow-dry and styling phase. 

The grande finale is the Weightless Hair Serum. This super light-weight, leave-in serum fights frizz and can be used on wet or dry hair. This bottle will definitely last a long time because a little goes a long way. 

And another reason to love the Bogavia brand, her products are cruelty-free, hypoallergenic, organic and vegan. They are also free of silicons, mineral oils, parabens, and a bunch of other things that you definitely don’t want touching your luscious locks. So basically your hair is free to be fabulous!

My hair is feeling so much softer and I can see the shine beginning to return from my roots to my ends! Try Bogavia hair care products and see how it can bring life and love back to your hair.

Thank you Alison for your generous gifting and for your passion behind Bogavia!
