HOW TO KEEP YOUR HIGHLIGHTS HEALTHY!

Hello everyone,

Let's Talk Hair! 👑 

Whether you've got curls or straight locks, I think it's safe to say that both deserve some needed care. That's even more true if you dye your hair often or have highlights. 

For a few years I used to dye my own hair, but for the longest time I wanted to change up my look by trying out highlights. When I came across a professional who I trusted to help transform my curls into something more fun and bright, I went for it. 

A Big Tip: Definitely get someone who knows what they're doing to make your hair vision a reality. You'll be so HAPPY afterwards! I honestly never loved my hair as much as I do now. My hairdresser hit a home run from the start!!!

My dream was to get dark blonde highlights all over my dark locks to add texture. Also, I find that highlights sit so well with curls as if they get bouncier and more alive. After getting them done, I wanted to start taking better care of my hair. Before, I've never been one to shower it with lots of products or use any heat on it. However, now that I have found the BEST hair products, I can't get enough! These products completely improved the health of my crown and are still keeping my blonde highlights shiny and nourished. I'm talking about Carol's Daughter amazing hair styling products!!! Have you tried them?           

You can easily start out your collection by getting the main two products (the shampoo and conditioner), which will do your hair wonders. Both are blended with castor oil, black seed oil and ginger, which makes for one strengthening combination. Use them in the shower one after the other. Once I get out with my hair still damp, I like to add the Carol's daughter hair oil to the scalp and the ends of my hair. Softly massage it in and once that's done finish it off with the divine strength leave-in cream to help keep your hair nourished as it gets longer. You don't need to rinse it off afterwards!  Finally, I give my hair a final brush, before using the blow-dryer to make my curls bouncier and happier. Literally, afterwards my curls form the perfect spirals and my hair gets softer, bigger and thicker. Super simple right? 

In the middle of the week, as a little pamper I like to use the hair mask. I usually do it on Wednesdays. This one takes a few more minutes because you're supposed to damp your hair. Once you get out or you can even do in the shower while you shave; you apply the mask and then leave it in for 5 minutes. After that give it a quick rinse and you'll feel your hair glossy and very moisturized from this amazing product. Also, I have noticed that with using a hair mask once a week, my hair grows faster. It's a good thing for those of you looking to grow-out your hair for the summer...😉

Have you tried any of these products?

 

I LOVE using them because now I'm taking proper care of my highlights and it feels so GOOOOD!

HOBBY LOBBY CHRISTMAS HAUL!

Hello everyone,

Here it is again... the season of giving, sparkling, laughing and decorating! 🎄

It's so EXCITING especially when you have close family and friends to share the holidays with. I know for a fact I will be spending Christmas with my family just like I always do. This year I've been very productive with decorating a bit earlier and already having bought half of the presents. Call it a miracle because I usually end up doing things last minute. How are you spending the holidays this year? Do you feel the excitement in the air?

This time of year, the picture of the city covered in a white blanket of snow is missing, but the beauty and joy of holiday cheer is present at home. Wherever you turn, there is twinkling lights, cute Santa decorations, lovely candle smells and lots to be thankful for. To turn our house into a home that you would find on the front cover of a Christmas card, we went shopping at Hobby Lobby. Call me crazy, but I didn't even know about this magical store until I walked in. Well, a friend of mine always kept telling me she buys everything on sale there. I finally decided to check it out! Now I'm hooked! I dream of Hobby Lobby non-stop!😁 This is the main reason for this post to show you the awesome holiday stuff they have there and hopefully to get you inspired to decorate. You can never have enough snowmen staring at you!😂  

Where do you do most of your Christmas shopping?

As you can see I'm most definitely really into Santa!😂Who isn't? There's two of them. Without a Santa it wouldn't be Christmas, right?🎅 The bigger white one I placed under the tree is there to protect the presents, and of course, to add a nice décor to the whole tree. It looks really magical when the tree is lit up. Santa is most happy in his natural habitat!😁 

When it comes to decorating for any holiday, to me it's all about the small touches. You don't need to spend lots of money to add a festive feel to your home. I really like any adorable decorations like snow globes, cute snowmen...anything that you can easily display around the house. That's what I went for and I think it looks pretty good. Next year, I can add more bits and pieces, as each year the excitement for Christmas shopping builds up. 

My new obsession Hobby Lobby is so great because all the home décor items are 50% off, so you can really go for it. Plus, it's really easy to fill up your cart within seconds. You'll see what I mean once you step through the door!!!

How are you spending the holidays this year? Any exciting plans?

3 WINTER OUTFIT IDEAS!

Hello everyone,

It's officially the season for hot peppermint coffee, big knit beanies, lots of layers and holiday cheer. Who's EXCITED? 

Okay, so Vegas isn't considered a winter destination, but we still have a few short months which we call "WINTER".😂 It really isn't even close to the harsh winters other countries get, however we still add a few layers and change up our color palette. 

As you're reading this post, keep in mind, these three winter looks may not be so ideal if you live somewhere it snows and is very cold. To me they're the perfect winter choices because they express my style. Also, I'm so happy Las Vegas winters allow me to still wear dresses or even crop tops... #LuckyGirl!

What does your winter wardrobe look like? 

For me, it mostly consists of summer styles, which paired with the right accessories and shoes I can turn into something...well, you'll see soon. I've come up with three different styles!!! Which one would YOU choose to wear? 

This first look is a total dream because it's dressy, yet edgy with these combat boots. It can't get any better than this, right? 

Also, it's the season for sweater dresses, which I love especially ones in festive red and greens for the upcoming holidays. I'll for sure be wearing this exact sweater dress for Christmas dinner with the family. Yep, I plan my outfits ahead of time!😉 I don't want to disappoint Santa! hahahah

While sweater dresses are fun to wear during the colder season, I always like to combine mine with some kind of cute tights whether that's fishnets or ones with a unique design. How about you? 

Since temperatures do drop once the sun goes down, the big coats come into play. It's nice to take them out of the closet, so they feel some fresh air too. I'm really into BIG fluffy, warm coats- ones that make me look like a teddy bear!🐻

What do you think of this first look? Wait, don't say anything yet, before checking out these next two.

      

Ohh la la...Let's get the PARTY started!!! 🎉 

This look is more of a party starter because of the exciting feathers.

What a cool staple for NYE or any party you might be going to! You can dress it down with a blazer and a pair of high-waisted jeans or fancy it up with  sequin pants (bring out your inner disco, let's boogie!) 

Do any of you already have your New Year's Eve outfit ready? So crazy, 2023 is only 47 days away! 😱 Got to make it a memorable one! Enjoy the good times, don't worry too much about the rest!

  

Continuing on with the fluffy theme, my third look has a handful of playful fringe all over it. It's the warmest sweater ever! Good thing sweater weather exists because every year I'm so drawn to buying new styles. I like huge chunky knits in different bright colors that will keep me not only looking stylish, but cozy too. What's you favorite sweater that you own and can't wait to wear every year?     

Any sweater, I like pairing with jeans or leggings. They're just so easy to style. It doesn't take having a degree in fashion to know how to style one. In the end it all comes to what makes you most comfortable and most YOU.

This outfit would be good for Thanksgiving dinner. It's definitely breathable. The last thing you want to wear is something tight, which will feel even worst after having a rich Thanksgiving dinner. You've got to think two steps ahead!!!😁

Which winter look do you LOVE the most?

FUN FALL ACTIVITIES: MAKE YOUR OWN CANDLES!

 Hello everyone,

With autumn here there is nothing like spending more time at home, right? The only thing is sometimes we run out of things to do. Once we have rearranged our wardrobe, carved pumpkins, set up fall decorations and checked-off everything on our list, we can enjoy some quality time with friends and family. A fun activity to do all together is to make your own candles!!!

This is the season to get cozy and creative! Candle making is something I haven't done before, but always had the desire to try. Well, I finally did! It's very therapeutic and so interesting learning about the process of candle making. It actually takes some time and some accuracy to get the wax and oil to the right temperature, so the candle turns out just right. Also, this gave me an insight on how candles are made...I was curious to find out ever since my sister started working for a candle company. Well, now I know all the secrets! 😂 

Are you ready to get cozy and add some aroma to your home? 

I got this Ash & Harry candle making kit and am ready to show you my new skills!😉

This is such a fun fall activity to do with your kids. They can choose the smells or help with the small tasks like pouring in the finished mixture. Cute little helpers are always needed!😁

One of the BEST things about this candle making kit is that it contains everything you need inside...you don't have to go out of your way and purchase things. It contains wicks, pretty decorative pods, a thermometer, a measuring cup, a few choices of essential oils and coloring blocks. Literally, all of the fun bits and necessities. It's as wonderful as it sounds! 💕

I won't bore you with the steps to candle making because the instructions were very clear and easy to follow. I'll just tell you that there's something so nice about burning a candle later, which you know you made yourself. That feeling of creating something yourself is so empowering. It feels extra satisfying because nowadays you can just buy things already made.

Have you tried making your own candles? 

If you're in the search for something to do, I highly recommend trying out this kit. Get your closest friends/family and enjoy a day of creativity!!! 

~ This kit was send to me by Ash & Harry. All opinions are my own.

FALL SHOPPING HAUL!

Hello everyone,

Ayyyy summer is slipping away, but one thing is for sure - nothing is more exciting than doing a little shopping for the NEW season. 

Exactly what I did recently! I added some new pieces, which I can start wearing as the summer days slowly fade away and fall starts creeping up on us. What have you been up to lately? 

A single glance at my closet, you'll be able to see that I'm a summer soul. That's not bad, but this year I decided I should stock-up on some cozy bits. You know, I need to balance things out!😉Plus, it's fun having more of an option when dressing for the colder days instead of just wearing the same jeans and a sweater. Variety is nice and cute at the same time!!!

Along with clothing, new skincare comes into play with the arrival of autumn. Don't be surprised if I drop a fall shopping haul part 2 because as you can see I'm taking this VERY seriously. Also, I always enjoy sharing new finds or gorgeous brands that maybe you would love as well. Let's share the love and let me show you the start of me getting my closet ready for the upcoming season. 

1. Two-Piece Workout Set

I do love a soft matching two-piece set in which I can workout and continue wearing even outside the gym. For this one, I had to go for the toffee fall color. It's so nice because the top bra is breathable, great for getting sweaty and the bottoms are not only comfortable, but also good for the numerous chilly days coming our way. 

Also, whether you feel confident enough to wear a tight two-piece set like this or not, you definitely should go for it because it will give you the boost to perform better and gradually help you build your confidence. Even if you don't care what you wear when working-out, you should treat yourself to nice, comfortable apparel. It makes ALL the difference inside and out! What do you usually wear to the gym?  

I've had these leggings and bra top for a week now and I'm so obsessed!😍 Feels so good to get active in them. Throw in a few punches, kicks or even spinning backfists! hahaha

         

2. Travelon Crossbody Bag

This isn't just a bag...it's an anti-theft bag! 

Super smart, takes away the worry of someone stealing your personal information like cards or keys. It's so amazing for traveling because there is no way anyone can even cut off the strap. Not only that, but it's so stylish! A WINNER for sure!

I wish I had it for the New York trip, but you know, it will be coming along on all future trips. The security is top notch. You can also fit all your must-have essentials- even a small camera and your phone. It's a must-have! This crossbody bag goes great with everything, so you can wear it everyday. You don't need to wait until you book a trip somewhere. 

It's one of those purchases, which I don't know how I have lived without before. You know what I mean?

       

3. Honest Beauty Facial Oil 

For awhile I have wanted to try the Honest Company! I have read and heard about it, but I never really knew just how affordable it is until I checked it out myself. Surprise...it's more affordable than you can imagine! Totally love this and the fact that this company is based around organic products, made for all skin types with truly nourishing ingredients. 

I'm so impressed by this facial oil!🔝 I've got it on right now...all over my neck and face. It's a good starter for me; a pleasant introduction to the brand and a great first choice that will lead me to building a whole Honest Beauty collection. Yep, I'm definitely getting everything else with the Honest logo on it! 

I have already got my eyes on the mascara, the shampoo, the lightweight moisturizer, the face cream, and ohhh, I can keep going on and on. Have you tried this brand yet?

     

4. Off the Shoulder Crop Top

Right now, it's still a bit too hot for sweaters, so I think the perfect piece to go for is an off-the-shoulder top with long sleeves. Super cute in bright orange! It can bring me back to the summers once autumn makes its entrance. I know we tend to go for darker colors during the fall/winter, but it's always a good idea to bring color back here and there, especially if it makes you smile.😁 

Of course, this top would be perfect with denim bottoms, but I think it can also be dressed down with high rise leggings. Why not? Especially on days you don't want to get super dressed up, but still want to put in an effort.

  

5. Denim Joggers

Denim is universal!💙 

No matter what type of denim clothing item it is, it goes amazing with everything. So the more denim, the merrier your wardrobe will be!😉

I had to add new denim joggers for this season. These are so cool and remind me of my childhood because of the side pockets. I used to wear that kind of style a lot when I was younger. Here I am bringing "wild side pockets Radi back" hahaha!

Usually, skinny denim jeans are my go-to. However, these ones are a little more casual which I like. Really good for everyday activities like doing errands and such. Also, let's not exclude brunch outings and other fun activities. What's your favorite style of denim jeans?

      

6. Inspire Me Bracelet

We all LOVE being inspired, whether that's a message we read or a song we hear, it's one of the BEST feelings ever. Right? 

Inspiration can cause a powerful ripple effect through the clothing or accessories you wear. That's why I enjoy finding/supporting brands that tell a story like the INSPIRATION. CO brand. Every message on their bracelets (made from genuine earth stones) is meaningful. You can choose one that you feel a connection to. Mine says "Enjoy the Journey" because many times the journey feels like a speedway (chasing things) meanwhile I want to have that reminder to really be in the present moment. Which jewelry piece is your favorite?   

To help spread their mission to "Inspire the World to Love" you can use code "RADOSTINA25" to receive 25% OFF your purchase. Enjoy!        

7. Pom-Pom Knit Sweater

Fall is more FUN with pom-poms!🥳 

I've wanted to get a sweater like this for awhile now, so this year I'm going to have all the fun. It's so nice because you can pair it with anything and everything on the bottom...leggings, jeans, shorts or a skirt. Very versatile and a good partner in crime to have when hopping from one season to the next. 

I like how cozy and pink it is! Imagine how great it would be to cozy up with it by the Christmas tree with a hot cup of coffee (caramel macchiato).😁 A dream come true!!!!

You can never go wrong with a cute, warm sweater. I look forward to shopping for new ones every year when autumn hits. Otherwise, I get cranky and you don't want to know what happens next...😂

Did you already do your autumn shopping? What fall inspired content do you want to see next?

WEEKEND SUMMER LOOKS!

Hello everyone,

With summer at its peak, there is always something fun to do (especially in Vegas) or always something cute to wear. Won't you agree? 

While my week is busy and basically sometimes feels like it repeats itself, weekends are my days off to change things up. That's when I get to put up some make-up, dress up a bit and do things I enjoy like going out dancing or checking out a new hotspot in the city. It's these moments that recharge me and get me ready for the new upcoming week! 

Saying all this, I decided it would be a great idea to show you the outfits I wore this past weekend starting from Friday night and ending with Sunday. Of course, they're colorful, summery and totally me. What has your summer style been like this year? 

Let's get started because there's lots to talk about!!! Plus, a few outfit changes happening a day. 😂  

FRIDAY NIGHT LOOK

 

Friday nights feel more than alright when heading out to dinner for a fun time! 💃

That's when I love to dress-up like I'm about to strut down the red carpet...😉In this case, we're talking about this vibrant flounce red dress. It's oh-la-la and more!!! And you know what? Fridays are my favorite day, so from time to time I like to get extra glammed up. An outfit that you feel amazing in always brings along a memorable time.  

What's your go-to Friday night look?

Summer season makes it so easy to find dresses to love. There's everything from flowy to maxi to exotic. You can find one which has everything that you in a single dress. Yep, the internet is that goooood! 😂 It can read your mind! ( Careful what you're thinking about right now!)        

SATURDAY DAY LOOK

Often during the weekend, I like being outside in the sun. You know, there is a reason summer is my favorite season! 😉 That reason is sunshine, wearing a yellow dress and day drinking. hahaha!

A few weeks ago I was craving (yessss, I get hungry for clothes) getting a new summer dress, so I decided to check out one of my favorite brands...SCOOP at Walmart! I came across this midi dress with fluttery sleeves and guess what? Yep, I bought it immediately! It also comes in adorable polka dots print, which is another beautiful summery daydreaming choice. 

Being out and about on Saturday, I though this is the perfect dress to wear with a pair of white sneakers. I got to go to one of the cutest coffee shops in town (a blog post is coming in the near future). 

What do you think of the bright yellow?💛 Makes you smile, doesn't it? I love it because you can effortlessly style this dress with a pair of wedges, which I have done as well.

      

SATURDAY NIGHT LOOK

Later on it was time to paint the town and of course change my look! 😁

I went to the Eiffel Tower Deck Viewing (ticket per person is $25) from which you can see every angle of not only The Strip, but the whole Vegas! Really Stunning! 😍 This is something I did way back, a few years ago. It felt like the first time revisiting this spectacular view...Las Vegas always seems to AMAZE me!!!

Since it was a special day, I decided to dress-up for it. A bit of nude tones, a bit of sheer zebra print and lots of curls. hahaha There were definitely tiny moments during which I regretted wearing these wedges because we walked from Bellagio to Paris. It's not a crazy walk, but once again, walking the Strip in high platforms is something I would never recommend, yet I do it every time. Ayyyyy! 🙉

What do you think of this outfit? I love it...fun to wear! One that can easily become a favorite night-out look.

    

SUNDAY LOOK

Sundays are for what? Lounging, eating and long bath spas...👌

It's my day to rest up, prepare for the upcoming work week and happily lounge around in my comfy, most favorite two-piece set. What do your Sundays look like? 

I'm so happy days like these exist! How about the fact that there are so many cute sets online? I can't get over it!!! This outfit can become a staple literally any day of the week. I got mine from Amazon. It's so easy to get into the habit of wearing loungewear all the time. The BEST feeling, right?!

 

How many outfit changes did you go through this past weekend? hahaha

If you enjoyed this type of post...I can definitely do more! Just let me know!!! 💕

HOW TO WEAR YOUR LINGERIE AS OUTERWEAR!

Hello everyone,

When you think of lingerie probably the first thing that pops-up in your head is bedroom. Nothing wrong with that, but guess what? You can definitely wear it as outerwear too! It's all in the way you layer...keeping it appropriate yet sexy! 😍

I really like lace lingerie pieces, which can work as bodysuits when styled just right. Wearing one for date night or happy hour is so perfect. Plus, they're great for spring time, very breathable and a lovely staple. 

While I wouldn't have worn lingerie as outerwear in my 20s, now it's a different story.😂 I'm here for it because it adds to that confidence that sexy lingerie tends to shower us with. Every woman loves and adores pieces that makes her feel this way! Am I right? 

What's your take on wearing your favorite lingerie outside the bedroom? Thumbs up or down for you? It might not be for everyone, but I think I can convince you to give it a try or at least go outside of your comfort zone a bit. Let me show you some tips and tricks!😉

First and most importantly when styling your lingerie - you've got to OWN IT! Don't be afraid to go for it 110 percent! Style can be bought, but confidence can't. And remember no one can rule your world the way lingerie can!😆

Here, I wanted to go for a spring look. Since my bodysuit is a deep green, I decided to work around it by sticking with the same hue throughout. Something fresh, light and great for day/night time. 

Not everyday in spring is meant for dresses and skirts. The weather can be unpredictable, so a light pair of jeans is a top option. I prefer the high-waisted style because I can add crop tees whenever I want.

You want a little bit of lingerie to show, so it's seductive but tasteful. It will keep people on their toes, hahaha. It's safe to say that if you throw on a cardigan, a blazer or a jacket you'll be making history. They should write that in your kids history book!!! 😂 It will be one to remember! Keep your choice of outerwear open (not zipped up), so part of your lingerie makes an appearance. 

Finally, with the blossom of roses, it's sandals time. No more cold feet and closed toe shoes! 😁 It's a blessing here in Vegas while I know many counties are still trying to get through the cold winter. Yep, this is your sign to move to Las Vegas!!!

What do you think of lingerie being more than a sexy bed piece?

 

I'm all about SUMMER (my favorite season!) What kind of sunny posts do you want to see soon on here?
