I've discovered my new favorite thing, professional blowouts! Before becoming a mom I wouldn't mind spending 2 hours doing my hair before an event or party (washing, drying, straightening and then curling). These days I do NOT have time to spare, so having my hair done at Vent Blotique in less than an hour and it look AMAZING is totally worth the price in my book! I enjoy getting my hair done on Monday and not having to do it for the rest of the week.  My blowouts will last 4 days thanks to dry shampoo! Kids, work, cooking dinner and cleaning are all things on my to-do list, so not having to spend time doing my hair saves me time and sanity. PLUS I feel better about myself because my hair actually looks good which makes me feel like a million bucks.

I wanted to make sure my hair looked good for the ATX Blogger Mixer a few weeks ago, but I did not have time to do my hair with my first week back at work. So, what did I do? Had my hair done at Vent Blotique during my lunch hour! It took less time and my hair looked much better than if I tried to do it myself. I also used that time to write some emails and relax! Here I am feeling good : )

Head over to my Instagram to enter to win a Luxury Blowout. It includes a shampoo, luxurious moisture treatment for the hair, scalp massage, steamed hot towel wrap, and your choice of any of our blowout styles. A mini Mom-Break!

I was super excited to get a few free nights last week to attend Austin Fashion Week (thanks to Alex and my Mom for watching the kiddos)! I had just gone back to work so I didn't have a lot of extra time to get my hair done so I had a blowout at Vent Blotique and it lasted both nights I attended. What's funny is that unintentionally before each show I had burgers. The last thing I wanted to be was hungry at a fashion show. Who cares about the food baby ruining my figure anyway.

Both nights I saw amazing collections by project runway stars and local designers. Some of my favorites were Lindsey Creel and Katie Kime. I sipped on prosecco from the event sponsor, Chloe Wine Collection, and I couldn't stop staring at all the beautiful and unique outfits the attendees were wearing. It was a people watcher's dream! Night one I chatted with a lot of my fellow Austin bloggers, and night two my beautiful neighbor, Olivia, joined me. It was a great Mom's night out, and a few people were in shock when we told them how many kids we have. We still got it girl!

Thank you to Fashion X Austin and Pom PR for another great event! Here's to next year!

The man of the night. I'm not kidding you when I say EVERY woman in the place was cheering when this guy walked down the runway. Hello silver fox!
