Searching Google on Sunday brought me to an amazing video blog by TheLipstickDiaries. I always like to research new and inventive ways to creatively do my hair in the morning. So, after watching the tutorial, I decided to try it out! The best part is that you don’t have to use a curling iron or flat iron to complete this Vintage Curls look.

Here’s what you need in order to try it yourself:

1. A Hairband. One that isn’t too tight on your head. You don’t want it to cut off circulation at night.
2. For fine hair: A spray-in volumizer. I recommend Pureology Pure Volume.
3. For thick hair: A gloss. Run it through the ends of your hair to prevent frizz.

You’ll want to begin by showering. Then, I dried my hair about 80-90% dry. After that, I sprayed a few spritzes ofPureology Pure Volume at the scalp, and I would recommend a texturizer on the ends. Then, you take the hairband and tuck tufts of hair into the band, wrapping it around and under the band. With each section of hair, you will be creating curls all around your head. You’ll want to grab smaller sections of hair if you want tight curls, and large sections to create waves.

In the morning, your hair will look like a crazy mess, but I promise it will turn out okay once you style your hair.

So….Hopefully yours will look better than mind turned out, but here’s the jist of what your hair should look like in the morning…

The final outcome of your hair will completely depend on your creativity. You can get ideas from the original tutorial on thelipstickdiaries web blog on Youtube.

The first thing you’ll want to do if you have fine hair is to spray your hair while still put up in the hair band. Spray it well.

Then, gently take the hair band out, and you’ll end up with some crazy curls, some tight, some loose. You might think that you didn’t do it correctly, but once you put some more product in it and comb out the curls it will turn out looking something like this..

My final ‘do looked like this today:

The greatest thing about tanning is that you don’t have to be at the beach to do it…

Tanning has options...and we, as Indulge Full Throttle Lifers, Love Options. Suppose you don’t like tanning in a tanning bed, you can lay out in your backyard instead. Perhaps you hate being hot, you can go have an airbrush tan service. Or, maybe you love tanning at the beach but can’t get away for a weekend trip. Like I said, many options. The option we are focusing on today, however, is the Driveway Diva Tan.

The Driveway Diva Tan is quite possibly one of the best ways to tan. Personally, when I am outside enjoying a beautiful day, I want to feel all warm inside from the heat. That way, I know I’m getting those UVA and UVB rays that turn me into a sandy tan superstar. There are a few steps to take in order to get the luscious brown tan we all want. First, shower.. Then, immediately out of the shower use the Indulge Body Cocoa Butter Bar. Using it all over your body right after you get out of the shower will lock in moisture which is what you always need when tanning. Next, you’ll want to lather yourself with a suntan lotion that has SPF 15 or higher in it. Let it dry. Then,pop the Indulge Body Butter Cocoa Butter Bar in a microwaveable container, put it in the microwave for about 10 sections until the bar is completely melted. Here’s the amazing part–slather yourself with the melted Body Butter Bar before you settle onto your towel. Not only will it give you enough moisture to keep your skin supple while tanning, but it will also give you a glistening, glowing tan.

Don’t forget to pair your Driveway Diva Tanning session with an icy cool beverage, enough towels to keep you comfortable on the driveway, and some tunes. Also, you should be flipping every 20-30 minutes to keep your tan even on both your front and your rear!
