How’s it going, babe? How is your afternoon coming along? I just got back from the salon (got my roots touched up).
Today I took sort of a mini “meow time” half-day, and I really needed it. I’ve been feeling a little run down lately because I’m just not sleeping well, and my allergies are in full effect.
And then after the salon, I swung by Blue Barn, my favorite salad place in Corte Madera.
It was a relaxing few hours… I almost feel like a normal girl again.
Almost. 🙂
While I was at the salon, I picked up the cute little travel-sized bottle of Kerastase Spray a Porter up there at the top.
Cute, yah?
I saw it sitting on a shelf next to the full-sized Spray a Porter, and I couldn’t resist.
I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned/gushed about this stuff before, but basically it’s a potion of glittering unicorn tears, powdered rainbows and fluffy blue-eyed kittens that comes in a spray bottle.
I’m sure those are the ingredients. 🙂
It’s kind of magical. I use it almost daily for beachy waves — think messy, but not too messy. Like Victoria’s Secret runway model hair with lots of volume.
So, so good.
If you don’t feel like springing for the big bottle (which is $35 for 150ML), maybe try the smaller travel one first ($18 for 50ML). I bet you’ll like it. On my way out of the salon, my friend who cuts and colors my hair, Alis, pointed at the bottle and said, “Aren’t you obsessed?”
Yes, Alis. Yes, I am.
She said she keeps one of the travel bottles at her boyfriend’s house because she can’t live without it.
Yup, you know that when hair stylists are raving about a product you’re also using, you’re doing OK, LOL!
You should be able to find the mini Spray a Porter bottles (50ML) now at salons and online at kerastase-usa.com . It’s listed at $18.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. It’s weird that it’s already almost Friday. I don’t feel like I ever really got into the swing of things this week. Sometimes it’s like that, I guess. I hope you’re chugging along. Your nephew says hi.
Hi Karen, I had my hair cut and colored by Alis a few weeks ago 🙂 she is mazing Thank you for the referral !!!! next time I will go to blue barn too!!
Hi Tere!!
When I was there today Alis and a couple of the girls mentioned that you came in. 😀 I’m so glad that you like your hair cut and color. When you come up here next time maybe we can have lunch or coffee or something. Oh, and send me a pic of your hair…I want to see.
Hey Karen! Hi to Tabs from India 🙂
Do you know if the Keratase spray is available in India? I have been looking for something that gives the effect you’re talking about.
Glad you got to take some time off! I’m overworked lately and could use a half-day. Hopefully Mr. M’s work load will lighten up soon and I can get some time to myself. I’m still working on my big hair product concoction. I have tons of hair, but it’s really fine. I’ll keep this one in mind.
Your salad definitely makes me wish I could still eat shrimp without dying. 🙂
Happy Friday, btw! Sometimes it’s nice when the week flies by – I hope you have a chance to recharge this weekend. Maybe you’re missing all that construction noise. HAHA!
I have a Bumble & Bumble spray that sounds similar – I typically use it in the summer. Which will be here eventually, I’m told. 🙂
Oooh this sounds really nice. I love travel sized haircare so that i can try something out before committing to a full bottle of something that makes my hair look awful. Does this dry your hair out at all? I need all the moisture i can get right now due to the blonde ombre I recently put my locks through: )
THAT SALAD.
Seriously, Karen, the temptation on this website… 😛
🙂 I would love it!!! all the girls at the salon were so nice and helpful (I’m sure i was driving them crazy trying to schedule my appt :P) I am recovering from a cold as soon as I am feeling better I will send you a pic on Instagram!! Thank you for replying you are the best!
The salad does in fact look pretty awesome. I’m also interested in this hair product, seems like a good fit for my hair!
