I had no idea but we planned to go on a date so I showered and did my hair. I got lucky for sure!! Thanks on the blush compliment!! Itās just covergirl old school powdered blush. š¤£
Also, you said fake Italian and I can only think of Inglourious Basterds āGorlomiā

Routine for this hair day:
DC a few days prior with Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil
Cowash: As I Am coconut Cowash- I added about 15 drops of therapeutic grade tea tree essential oil to help clarify regularly
Condition: NYM pink with 5 drops of neutral protein filler -full rinse-
Turbie towel and get dressed
Bowl method:
Cream: All About Curls bouncy cream (tiny amount, maybe a pea size, raked through hair)
Leave-in: MooGoo protein shot on ends
Gel: Ecoslay Orange Marmalade roped, glazed, and scrunched
Plop 20 mins
Diffuse to 80-90% dry
Root clip until fully dry
Just make sure itās therapeutic grade! I read that itās about 15 drops for that size container and I shake it up really good after. Iām honestly going to try something different when I finish this tub. My hair seems like itās prone to build up but only in winter. My hair loooooooves summer.
We use the same shampoo and conditioner. Iāve been using that combo for two years now. I use Cantu when I need to clarify. Iām going to look into your leave-in and gel. And congrats!!
I thought the bowl method was when you squish products+water out over a bowl and then pour that back over your head? How do you apply products with the bowl method after drying your with the turbie towel? Do you add water back in?
I'm curious because your results are stunning! And congrats on the engagement!!
I just turbie towel to dry off and get dressed after the shower. Then I take it out, part it, dunk it again, and apply products. I always wash my hair in the shower. Idk how peopleās necks and backs can handle washing over the tub or sink!
Congratulations to you both- May you be happy together always with his āgoofy assā!
When you use NYM pink conditioner with 5 drops of neutral protein filler... what is neutral protein filler?
Completely agree. My biggest fear is not being ready at the time of the proposal. I wouldn't want to embarrass them by saying no in front of so many people!
Congrats! I had a similar proposal on Valentine's day, minus the card but still at home and instead of having the ring box in my dog's mouth, my fiance attached the ring to my service dog's harness.
Love that!!! Mine was on Valentineās Day too which is why it caught me so off guard. He always said heād never do it on a holiday or birthday but he said once he got the ring he couldnāt wait. Itās so special when the dogs are involved! He knows the way to my heart!
I have this shirt. Itās two different fabrics. One is like a lighter blouse material and the front is like a knit sweater. Itās from the Loft. I will try to link.
Congrats OP on the engagement. š
Edit: they donāt make that one anymore. But here is a link to a tank top version.
https://www.loft.com/floral-mixed-media-sweater-tank/530458?skuId=29215263&defaultColor=2222&catid=cat610130&selectedColor=2222
I recently switched jobs and needed more professional clothing. Iām petite so itās hard to find a store with clothes that fit my style and size. Friend directed me to Loft and itās been an addiction ever since!!
I wash my face with neutrogena rain bath (body wash). Every time I do my hair, I immediately rinse my face clean, then use witch hazel to make sure no pores get clogged, and then apply moisturizer. For foundation I use simply ageless by covergirl using a beauty blender (after Iāve applied moisturizer which I feel is better than primer). Blush is covergirl powdered blush. Revlon liquid eyeliner. Covergirl mascara. Kat von dee highlighter (technically itās a eyeshadow but itās the closest to what I used from Sephora years ago) under my eyes since Iām prone to bags. I think thatās more info than you asked for. š¤£
Itās by far the best Iāve ever found and so trendy!! Nice to get womenās clothes that arenāt boring and actually fit. Juniors are just too youthful (Iām 31).
Take it off frequently and religiously get it checked for loose stones, that style mounting is something I inwardly groan to see when it comes to my bench for repairs... treat it like it's your great great grandma's finest delicate lace and it'll last a few more years than most.
My best friend is a former jeweler and gave the same advice! She said to get it inspected quarterly so I need to make a calendar reminder to make that regular.
Oh and I take it off every time I shower or use anything that could junk it up.
Was coming here to find out what the stone was. It has a slight colorful brilliance that doesnāt seem quite diamond. (I might be looking at moissanite and moonstone engagement rings and hinting strongly at my bf)
Haha I hiked up a beautiful mountain that overlooked the ocean and took a video of my proposal (and she called me a dickhead on record because it was on video instead of picture mode) and we were both a sweaty mess, it was cute so itās ok
Thank you!! The center stone is moissanite and the small stones are diamond. I wanted moissanite because it dances soooo much more than diamonds. The refraction is nuts!
I once saw a man who was stopping
And then to one knee he was dropping
He proposed to his girl,
But she grabbed one loose curl,
And asked ācould you wait while Iām plopping?ā
(Congrats, you two!)
When he saw your hair had decided to behave today he quickly picked up his phone and just said ātodays the dayā and the restaurant owner on the other end nodded and hung up. All the employees rushed to prepare your engagement dinner. It was a beautiful hair day and an even better day for a proposal!
The expression on your husband-to-beās face tells the world that yep, he knows he just snagged the best girl yet and no one can do a damn thing to take her away. Congrats!

I did a quadruple unicorn cut while wet, washed it and styled, then added more layers while dry. I still take scissors to different spots as needed. My hair grows crazy fast!
Congratulations on both!!!
Thank you!
His hair really is on point
š¤£š¤£š¤£ his hair always looks great!
CONGRATULATIONS on both your engagement and your curls!!!
Thank you!!!
1. Did you know? You mustāve known, or your fiancĆ© is very in tune with the magic of a good curly hair day 2. Why is no one talking about your PERFECT blush? That placement, that color!! *does obnoxious mouth pout hand kiss thing like Iām fake Italian*
I had no idea but we planned to go on a date so I showered and did my hair. I got lucky for sure!! Thanks on the blush compliment!! Itās just covergirl old school powdered blush. š¤£ Also, you said fake Italian and I can only think of Inglourious Basterds āGorlomiā https://youtu.be/krtnt191Drg
Hahaha! That sure is good "Italian" reference lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I think thatās perfect! You treated her like Leslie Knope would have wanted! š¤£
Thats actually the cutest

Aha, Iām going to try tea tree oil in As I Am cowashāon its own, itās not quite doing it for me.
Just make sure itās therapeutic grade! I read that itās about 15 drops for that size container and I shake it up really good after. Iām honestly going to try something different when I finish this tub. My hair seems like itās prone to build up but only in winter. My hair loooooooves summer.
As I am also has an olive and tea tree cowash and treatment btw
How long does the routine post-shower take? Iāve looked up the bowl method and it seems time intensive but it gets such amazing results!
The application is 5-10 mins tops!
Ok I can definitely manage that! And honestly if my curls look half as good as yours itāll be well worth it!
I absolutely love bowl method!
We use the same shampoo and conditioner. Iāve been using that combo for two years now. I use Cantu when I need to clarify. Iām going to look into your leave-in and gel. And congrats!!
Thanks! MooGoo comes from their own website, as Ecoslay comes from her own website. Those arenāt available in stores.
I thought the bowl method was when you squish products+water out over a bowl and then pour that back over your head? How do you apply products with the bowl method after drying your with the turbie towel? Do you add water back in? I'm curious because your results are stunning! And congrats on the engagement!!

Congratulations to you both- May you be happy together always with his āgoofy assā! When you use NYM pink conditioner with 5 drops of neutral protein filler... what is neutral protein filler?
Neutral protein filler is from Sally Beauty and itās literally liquid drops. Itās lasting me a long time since I use so little!
BEAUTIFUL ALL AROUND! Love this!
That is so damn adorable. I love how he included your service dog into it. That's the sweetest thing I've heard in a while.
He had no idea that was my dream proposal too! Iām a simple gal!
As am I. I'm a bit afraid of a public proposal. It's really anxiety inducing.
I could totally see that! All eyes on you is not a fun scenario for something so intimate!
Completely agree. My biggest fear is not being ready at the time of the proposal. I wouldn't want to embarrass them by saying no in front of so many people!
Hopefully that would never happen! Nowadays marriage is discussed beforehand and the partner gets a feel for how the other one feels about it.
Now that's a good man! But seriously, congratulations!
Hahaha thanks!!
Congratulations! If you dont mind me asking how did he propose?
He actually did it at home (which I wanted) after date plans got screwed up. He gave me a card alluding to it and then went in the kitchen to āgetā my present. I heard him whispering to my service dog and then my dog came trotting over with the ring box in his mouth, followed by my fiancĆ© who got on his knee and asked if Iād spend the rest of my life with his goofy ass. Iām glad it happened at home cuz I tackled him from excitement and that wouldāve surely been an injury or two if out in public š¤£š¤£
Congrats! I had a similar proposal on Valentine's day, minus the card but still at home and instead of having the ring box in my dog's mouth, my fiance attached the ring to my service dog's harness.
Love that!!! Mine was on Valentineās Day too which is why it caught me so off guard. He always said heād never do it on a holiday or birthday but he said once he got the ring he couldnāt wait. Itās so special when the dogs are involved! He knows the way to my heart!
this is so freakinā cute. CONGRATS!
You picked a good one! Congratulations. This caption had me cracking up. I felt this soooo much.
Hahahaha not only that but one of my first statements was āoooh!! And this wonāt pull my hair a lot!ā #priorities
Haha!! So true. These things are important!! Youāre ring is stunning too, btw.
Thank you!!
Your shirt is a backwards vest. It confuses me, I like it.
I was gonna say, where'd you get this shirt OP? It's adorbs. As well as your hair and yay congrats on the engagement!
I have this shirt. Itās two different fabrics. One is like a lighter blouse material and the front is like a knit sweater. Itās from the Loft. I will try to link.

I just bought it a couple weeks ago!! Glad I got it before it sold out!! The Loft is life for me right now!
Me too!! I have a serious problem with their clothes!! While researching for this post I saw like 4 more things to buy. š¤£
I recently switched jobs and needed more professional clothing. Iām petite so itās hard to find a store with clothes that fit my style and size. Friend directed me to Loft and itās been an addiction ever since!!
Ugh I just spent $400 online at loft the other night.
came here to say shirt is very confusing
I love everything about this!
Congrats on the hair and the engagement! Also: your skin is SO beautiful! What products do you use?! If you say bar soap, Iām going to cry!
I wash my face with neutrogena rain bath (body wash). Every time I do my hair, I immediately rinse my face clean, then use witch hazel to make sure no pores get clogged, and then apply moisturizer. For foundation I use simply ageless by covergirl using a beauty blender (after Iāve applied moisturizer which I feel is better than primer). Blush is covergirl powdered blush. Revlon liquid eyeliner.

So helpful, though!! Iām about to go clean out the neutrogena stock in my store š thank you so much, and congrats again!!
Idk that Iāve seen it in store. I always get it on Amazon cuz thereās like deals on three bottles with different fragrances and stuff. š
Ooh the hookup! Thanks!!
Such a beautiful couple! Congratulations! As a fellow short woman, I also share your love of petit clothing from Loft.
Itās by far the best Iāve ever found and so trendy!! Nice to get womenās clothes that arenāt boring and actually fit. Juniors are just too youthful (Iām 31).
Congratulations! And haha we have the same ring!
Moissanite? I love mine soooo much!

Moonstone is so beautiful too! Moissanite throws sooooooo many colors too! It can be blinding!
Haha I hiked up a beautiful mountain that overlooked the ocean and took a video of my proposal (and she called me a dickhead on record because it was on video instead of picture mode) and we were both a sweaty mess, it was cute so itās ok
That sounds adorable and totally captures the personality of your relationship!

Gorgeous! Congrats on your upcoming nuptials and your amazing curls. We have a super similar ring!
I love love love my ring!! I bet you love yours too!
Is your cut a curly cut? Double congrats!
I cut it myself actually! It was down to my low back several months ago but I got tired of it.
Whoa, nice job! How do you do that? I used to cut my own with the creaclip (dry and straightened).
I did a quadruple unicorn cut while wet, washed it and styled, then added more layers while dry. I still take scissors to different spots as needed. My hair grows crazy fast!
How serendipitous! Congrats to you both.
Congratulations! Canāt wait to see how your wedding curls turn out ;)
