It's birth month and we're officially ready for yo It's birth month and we're officially ready for you baby girl 🥹 Over the last 3 years, I've learned so much about myself in this long and challenging journey. There have been so many highs and lows, but I wouldn't trade what we've endured for anything. I truly believe this is the path I was meant to be on, and that we'll cherish and honor our daughter more than she'll ever know! 

Going through 4 excruciating losses, 2 difficult rounds of IVF retrievals, 3 transfers, endless tests and scans over the course of 3 years, multiple procedures under anesthesia, surgery, countless teary eyed days, that feeling hopeless and isolation, and honestly self discovery, has changed me as a person in so many ways I'll never be able to articulate. This pregnancy has been the biggest blessing! Although it's been difficult (more so mentally than physically if I'm being real), and feels like it's been forever, I'd go through ALL of this over and over again to meet our miracle baby. After ~80 weeks of pregnancy combined, we're so thankful to be where we are today.

By sharing our journey, I truly pray that I'm giving others who have walked through loss and infertility the hope that their miracle baby is coming, too. A dear friend once said to me 'it's all divine timing,' and it gave me so much peace! And boy was she right!! I'm so thankful for those who have opened up to me in DMs about their struggles and experiences, and for the countless others who have just been so encouraging and supportive! THANKFUL is an understatement. Love you friends!

Perfect Waves with a 1.5 Inch Curling Iron

Creating the perfect everyday waves used to be a huge struggle for me! I was constantly attempting to curl my hair, and I tried everything. I used a 1 inch curling iron, a 1 ¼ inch curling iron, a straightening iron, you name it, I tried ever tool! Yet, I couldn’t figure out how to get the end result I was looking for: Perfect Everyday Casual Effortless Waves for my thick but fine long hair. My natural hair is wavy, but I always want soft natural waves.

My life changed when I (finally) purchased a 1.5 inch Curling Iron. I was able to use my style technique with the 1.5 inch barrel to achieve my desired look, having the perfect everyday, casual, effortless hair waves. To note, it’s important to have a curling iron that reaches enough heat. I set my curling iron on 380 to 420 degrees F. I find this to be the quickest way, along with holding the curl.

Here’s How I Got The Perfect Effortless Waves:

  • Start with clean hair
    • Feel free to blow dry or air dry
      • Personally, if I don’t blow dry my hair first, I don’t get the volume I’m looking for. I suggest blow drying.
  • Grab about a 1 inch section of your hair starting towards the crown of your head
    • You can totally switch up the amount of hair you grab, which will enhance the look of an effortless curl

Starting section!
  • Start in the top center of your hair and work the curl down the roller with the 1.5 inch curling iron
    • Meaning… don’t start at the bottom of your hair, make sure you start towards the center between your head and bottom of your hair
    • This will ensure you get a more even curl

  • Hold the hair between 5 to 10 seconds
    • Be sure to check the temp of your hair! DO NOT hold for too long or you may burn off your hair
  • Next to the curl you first completed, grab another section and curl it in the opposite direction
    • This is the KEY to using your 1.5 inch curling iron and getting the perfect waves!
    • Be sure to get the underneath part of your hair, as well
      • If it’s easier to use a hair clip – go for it!
  • At the top front section, curl away from your face
    • This creates a more open look

Curling away from your face in the front!
  • Repeat this process throughout the rest of your hair, rolling the curling iron away from your face and towards your face every other section
    • Just don’t forget to do the front section curls away from your face!
  • Finish the look with a little bit of hair spray (this is my favorite)

Using my 1.5 inch Curling Iron has really changed how I do my hair and everyday style! You can definitely get away with a 2nd day hair day with this look, as well. Just touch up as you need the next morning. I refresh my hair with some Dry Shampoo (I love this one) on day 2.

My final look!
