Summer Hair

Hello and Happy 4th of July weekend!

About 3 things I know during the summer. The weeks are erratic with Greye's sailing schedule but come Friday my schedule is clear (which is the exact opposite during the school year).
Friday's we watch the Bay races at The Ocean City Yacht Club over drinks and dinner with friends.
Saturday we go out on our Boston Whaler. We either go to lunch or go water skiing with friends.
Sunday we go to the beach, again with friends.
I love living at the shore! But....What is to be done with Summer hair?

It's a MESS! Getting a blow out today.

  7. About to try the Moroccan hair oil that I've been hearing so much about. It's supposed to be amazing for the humidity! I'll let you know. Didn't realize you had a sailor in the family. My husband grew up in Fort Myers, Fl and sailing. He even did an Olympic campaign several years ago. He's sailed a lot of different boats but the Finn was his latest. Happy 4th!

  8. summer hair is a pain in my bum thats for sure! :) thank you! I have such amazing memories of the lake from when I was growing up, I dont think I could ever not spend summertimes there !! -- did you go to carthage by any chance?? I applied there and ended up deciding on staying in michigan but the campus itself just about sold me! :) :)

  9. Moroccan Hair Oil is my hair's summer best friend...went to have my hair cut yesterday and had to be talked out of cutting it off...humidity is that cruel to my blonde fine hair...putting it up or in my fav Ponte Vedra hat for taking the boat out this weekend at the rivah....

  11. Moroccan oil is FABULOUS - use it sparingly before a blow dry. Scarfs are good, too!

    Please use a very good quality sunscreen. You can still get color and the vitamin D benefits while filtering out the harmful (premature aging and carcinogenic) effects. There are women at my club that look like alligators and I'm sure they think they look youthful and healthy even though their leathery, tan wrinkles say otherwise. You're too cute to let that happen!

  14. You look so fab, as usual!! I think I might steal that hair idea from you! xoxo!

  15. ugh! I know!! I hate getting it blown out because I feel like the wind always ruins it. But I don't like wearing it naturally either. So usually just down with a headband or up in a ponytail :)

  16. Loved your hair in the photo shoot... but that's what stylists are for!

    We have spent quite a few days on the boat. There is nothing like the wind and water!

  17. I end up wearing my hair up in a pony tail or clip when it is really hot and sticky. If I put on a headband it usually looks cute. When I have more time to curl it and wear it down in the summer the weather doesn't cooperate. :) Have a great weekend Beth.

  18. Oh la la! I loooove summer hair. I let mine go oh-natur-al. When else can I get away with it!??? And, I love that you have a Boston Whaler!!! My parents had one growing up and we LOVED taking it out in the ocean. So fun!!! They are on a lake now ... so we bid farewell to the sailboat and Boston in exchange for a Jones Brother boat. Summer was made for messy hair and boats! Xoxo-BLC

  19. That all sounds like fun to me! I can't wait to go up to the lake and sail in August. By the way, you look very sunkissed!

  20. You look so chic with the sunglasses and pulled back hair! I have wavy hair, so in the summer, Moroccan Hair Oil is the only thing that keeps it from completely being out of control.

  27. It's got to be a mess. A handful of sand and a bucket of sea-salty water would just round of the look :)
