Labor Day Must Haves

Dress/ Sneakers/ Sunglasses/ Bracelets/ Purse/ Sweatshirt/ Shorts/ Sandals

I have a love/ hate relationship with Labor Day. I love having a three-day weekend in the warm weather, but I hate that it means that summer is ending. But now that I am back in Reno, I am reminded of all of the great things there are to do around town during the long weekend. There is the Rib Cookoff, the first college football game of the year, cookouts, trips to Tahoe and more. I am pretty excited about the long weekend ahead and even more excited about all the exciting things to come next week. Cough, launch of the Southwest Blog Society, cough. I hope that you have a great long weekend and pack as much as you can in to the last few days of summer before it ends, unofficially of course.

Top Knot

Although the weather this past weekend was relatively perfect, the humidity last week was terrible. I am starting to learn to check the humidity percentage before getting out of bed and this past Friday was definitely a top knot kind of a day.

I wasn't a huge fan of top knots until recently when I tried this new Osis powder. There is something about the powder that I love and hate all at the same time. I hate the way it makes my hands feel while applying it, yet I LOVE the results with my hair. It makes my hair feel like I just got out of the ocean, only cleaner. I plan on buying more of this powder when it runs out because I have started using it on a daily basis to give my hair more texture. 

Have you ever tried texturizing hair powders? What are some of your favorites?

Ninety Percent Off

As you probably know by now, scoring a great deal is one of my favorite pastimes. When my mom was here a few weeks ago, we hit the mall for a day of shopping and I came across this gorgeous necklace. I loved the sparkle (duh) and thought it was so great with the mixed metals as well as the ribbon. I knew I had to have it. I took a look at the price tag and could not believe that it was marked down from $100 to $10! Ninety percent off-- who knew that was such a thing? I quickly ran up to the cash register because I knew I'd struck gold with this find. 

Have you ever heard of something marked down so low? What are some amazing deals you've scored recently?
