Favorite Hair Products

I'm the type of person that if my hair isn't done, I feel worthless. Silly, I know. So to try and save my hair and keep it healthy longer, I've tried to wash my hair every other day. Its been a learning curve, and lots of dry shampoo and sock buns, but I'm sticking to it. Here is a list of my go to hair products.

Argan Magic Intensive Hair Oil- I absolutely love this hair oil. It makes my hair soft and manageable. It speeds up my blow drying time, and protects my hair from the heat styling products. *I put this on freshly washed hair from my ears down concentrating it on the ends.*

Suave Professionals Heat Protective Spray- If I am using my hot rollers, I will use this in addition to the Argan Magic. I use this just as additional protection to heat styling. I like using this with my hot rollers because it doesn't "gunk up" the flocking on my rollers. *I spray this on wet hair after using the Argan Magic, blow dry, and use my heat products.*

Redken Spray Starch- This I use on dry hair. It is a nice alternative to spraying on hairspray before you curl. It's not too sticky but definitely holds your curl. I will use this when I know I need my curls to stay. I definitely don't use this every day. *After I dry my hair I will section it off and spray this on each individual section that I am going to curl with a curling iron.*

Redken Forceful 23 Hairspray- This is a great hairspray. I don't like my hair to be crunchy or stiff when I'm done, and this holds my style without making it stiff. *Spray this when you are all done with you hair for perfect hold!*

Suave Professionals Dry Shampoo-Remember when I said I was trying to go every other day with washing my hair? This has been essential to my second day hair. Without it, my scalp would be like an Exxon Valdez oil spill. There doesn't seem to be to much white powder residue. *It is important that you section off your hair and spray between the sections. Then using the warmth of your hands rub it in. This removes any powder and adds volume to your hair.*

These are just a few of my tricks for my hair. What works for me, may not work for you. You just have to give it some trial and error. Are there any go to products that you have and love? Leave me a comment and let me know! To many happy hair days!

Cooking for a Crowd: Spaghetti Sauce

My family likes to save money when we have parties. One way to do so is to cook everything ourselves, instead of hiring a caterer. Today, I wanted to give you a recipe for spaghetti sauce that will feed a crowd. This recipe is best made in an 18 quart roast pan. We bought most of our sauces and tomato paste at Costco. Ingredients: 2 onions 3 cans diced tomatoes 2 #10 cans of tomato sauce 1 #10 can on spaghetti sauce 1 heaping tsp of garlic minced 2 (28 oz) cans of crushed tomatoes 4 (6 oz) cans of tomato paste 1 tsp sugar Onion and garlic salt, italian seasoning, parsley, oregano to taste 1 pound of each: ground meat, hot and sweet sausage Look at the deliciousness! In a skillet brown your meat and sausage in a little oil. Once browned place off to the side. Combine your onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, and crushed tomatoes. *Sweat your onions down first, then add the garlic. Then your tomatoes.* Open your tomato sauces and spaghetti sauces (we li

Hi! Do you remember me and this little blog? I've been thinking about starting this blog back up again, and I am just going to jump in with both feet and go for it! In the past what, 4 years since the last post, I have learned a lot, and have a lot to share! So if you'll bear with me, I'd love to share some fun tips and tricks and recipes with you here on this little space on the internet. I will give you a little reintroduction of myself. I'm Mandii. I'm a small town girl full of random information. Sports facts, check. Fashion tips, oh yeah, I've got those a plenty! Recipes? You're speaking my language. I love all things faith, family, fashion, sports, and food related. Which is exactly what you will find on this space. I love to travel even though I don't do it nearly enough.

*Warning: this will be a long post, and picture heavy!* :) Strictly based on the title alone I should have caught your attention! Sunday was the Alex Goot concert. It was at bar in Pittsburgh, and there were about 5 acts to the show! You definitely got your money's worth! I went with my cousin, Allie (you can find her blog here! ) and it was just a fun girls night! The show was in a bar which used to be an old church, so it was very pretty inside. We got there around 6, parked, and only had to stand in line for 10 minutes before we got to go inside. When we went in, we got our tickets scanned and BAM , there was Landon Austin and Luke Conard at their merchandise table. So, because I somehow gained oodles of confidence*, Allie and I went over and I said "Hi Landon!" He said "hi" back and asked me my name. I had a card for him so I handed it to him and he asked if he should open it now or later. I said that it was up to him. We moved on to Luke Conar
