  • THE BEST HAIR PRODUCTS 2024 Edition on Daytime Chicago

    THE BEST HAIR PRODUCTS 2024 Edition on Daytime Chicago

    Whether it’s the winter weather, chemical treatments, or even hormonal changes (guys, we’re looking at you, too), we understand the struggle. Today, we’re on Daytime Chicago to share some of our favorite new hair products. Get ready for a #goodhairday every single day!

    There are a ton of serums out there that claim to work, BUT this one is clinically proven to. It even reigned superior to minoxidil in a peer-reviewed clinical trial. 

    KilgourMD The Treatment Serum
    PRICE: $89.00
    SHOP: @kilgourmd.com
    Developed by a Stanford dermatologist, the KilgourMD system is clinically proven to prevent and treat the appearance of hair thinning. It’s made up of two transformative scalp serums: The Prevention Scalp Serum (which is like sunscreen for the scalp) prevents environmentally driven aging and the appearance of hair thinning and loss of vitality that sets in over time. The Treatment Scalp Serum (which is like a facelift for the scalp) maximizes the appearance of remaining hair once the damage has already been done. The combination of the active ingredients found in the KilgourMD system was superior to minoxidil in a peer-reviewed clinical trial, with no known side effects.

    Babe Original is another brand that can give you the hair of your dreams. These gummies work while you sleep and do so much more than give you healthy hair; they simmer down stress and boost relaxation. And this Glossy Rinse makes hair so insanely shiny.

    Babe Original’s Good Night, Babe Gummies
    PRICE: $29.00
    SHOP: @babeoriginal.com and amazon
    Hair Health Booster: Good Night, Babe Gummies are a fantastic way to boost hair health from the inside out. They contain AnaGain™ Nu, a clinically proven ingredient that stimulates hair growth and supports fuller, thicker hair. Relaxation and Beauty Sleep: These gummies aren’t just for your hair; they also promote relaxation and improved sleep with melatonin and L-theanine. Wake up with beautiful hair and a well-rested feeling, all from a delicious berry chew. *Stress Management with Ashwagandha: Ashwagandha, an adaptogenic herb in these gummies, helps manage stress, which can impact both hair health and overall well-being. Incorporating stress reduction into your daily routine has never been more convenient or tasty.

    Babe Original’s Glossy Rinse Hair Treatment
    PRICE: $18.00
    SHOP: @amazon
    *Instant Gloss and Softness: Babe Original Glossy Rinse delivers instant glossy, weightlessly soft hair in just 5 seconds. It’s a quick and effective solution for those looking to enhance the shine and texture of their hair. *Innovative Hair-Repairing Ingredients: This lamellar water treatment is infused with cutting-edge ingredients like hemisqualene and vegan keratin. These ingredients work together to repair damaged hair, improve split ends, and reduce tangling and frizz, leaving your hair looking healthier and more vibrant. *Versatile Use: Babe Original Glossy Rinse can be used before or in place of your regular conditioner, making it a versatile addition to your haircare routine. Whether you have a few extra minutes for pampering or need a quick fix, this treatment provides mesmerizing results that will leave your hair looking and feeling fabulous.

    Garnier still dominates our Shampoo and Conditioner picks with the Hair Filler line. This entire collection’s genius is that it fills in the gaps in the follicle where hair is damaged. My personal favorite is the strength repair. It whipped my over-processed hair back into shape.

    Garnier Fructis Strength Repair with Vitamin Cg
    PRICE: $9.99
    SHOP: @Amazon
    Repair hair with Garnier’s NEW 4-Step inner fiber repair collection, made to reverse the damage and fill the hair with strength. This sulfate-free Hair Filler + Vitamin Cg system is formulated with Vitamin Cg + Citric Acid + Repair Care Complex and fills weak, damaged hair with strength. Many factors can damage and weaken the hair fiber. These factors include brushing, styling tools, excessive washing, and environmental exposures like UV light and seawater. Made with Vitamin Cg — a well-known antioxidant that traps free radicals generated by external aggressors such as pollution and UV — as well as citric acid and Repair Care Complex, the system enables repair of the hair fiber and shields it against further mechanical and external damage. Fill hair with strength 7 layers deep with our system for inner fiber repair and outer visible transformation.

    And for all those big hair lovers out there (YEAH, YOU MILEY) who feel like Winter is your enemy with dry, static-filled strands…This nurturing and volumizing hair mask from NatureLab will be your new bestie! 

    NatureLab. Tokyo Perfect Volume Masque
    PRICE: $19.00

    Weightless in-shower hair masque adds instant lift, volume, and body to fine hair in just 5 minutes.

    If you’re blonde, you know the struggle to keep it healthy and the brassiness in check. This purple shampoo and conditioner is intense at bonding and keeping the color nice and cool.


    OLAPLEX No.4P Blonde Shampoo
    PRICE: $30
    SHOP: @olaplex.com
    OLAPLEX No. 4P Blonde Enhancer Toning Shampoo cleanses, tones and repairs while keeping hair hydrated from roots to ends. This highly-concentrated, sulfate-free shampoo forms a rich lather to neutralize brassiness and boost brightness after one use.

  • FALL 2023 Trends on Daytime TV

    FALL 2023 Trends on Daytime TV

    Since January, I’ve been hitting events showcasing foods, fashion, and beauty “on trend” for FALL 2023. Here is what stood out. 

    Food:
    Cow’s, soy, almond, and oat milk are now yesterday’s news. We’ve got a new creamy and super yummy alternative with Macadamia Milk. 

    Milkadamia
    PRICE: $5.49 to $6.49
    SHOP: @WholeFoods
    Celebrate the coziness of Fall with Milkadamia’s deliciously made, regeneratively farmed macadamia nut milk. Only the highest quality raw, not roasted, macadamia nuts create Milkadamia’s smooth taste and milky creaminess. It’s the tastiest choice for your coffee, breakfast cereal, or superfood smoothie. You can even cook with Milkadamia this holiday season! Sweet and Savory recipes LOVE Milkadamia milks. Stir it into soup or add it to your favorite baked fall treat. It’s dairy free, soy free, GMO free, and gluten free!

    It used to be LOW CARB; now it’s LOW CARBON. 
    Meatless is still the it girl of these events, and jerky seems to be the most authentic snack of 2023. Ironically, this brand has been around for a while but is still top of the list for taste and texture.

     

    Louisville Smoky Carolina BBQ – Vegan Jerky
    PRICE: $7.50
    SHOP: @wholefoods
    The nostalgic BBQ flavor in our smoky Carolina jerky comes from the sweet and smoky goodness of authentic Carolina mustard bbq.  Our sauciest recipe yet is lip-smackingly awesome and impossible to put down.

    Beauty:
    There are so many makeup trends it’s hard to keep track for Fall. You can’t nail down one style that is more relevant than another.TikTok has really just shuffled up everything, but we can tell you clean is still supreme and also GLOSS! Layer some gorgeous gloss over that lipliner!

    Dark Spot remedies are trending globally in skincare. We took a deep dive into a few brands, and one topped our list and many editors, too. Fall is the season to banish dark spots, and “boosters” are the new way to play!

    Protéger Get Even Booster
    PRICE: $52.00
    SHOP: @protegerdaily.com

    Fashion and Accessories:
    Watches are everything for 2023, but Fall has really inspired some fabulous collaborations. We are obsessed with these by Jacquie Aiche and Timex.

  • Trending for ALL AGES in Seattle

    Trending for ALL AGES in Seattle

    As Gen Xers reach middle age, there’s a growing investment in creating products tailored to this solution-seeking consumer. For fall, trends are shifting towards comfort, balance, and preserving youth, which ironically is also a priority for the Gen Y and Z community. Fragrance is back, and we’re seeing major upgrades to rain boots and lipgloss. Skincare is more sensitive and smarter, and menopause has taken over supplements. We head back to Seattle and the set of New Day Northwest to share some insight on what products are trending from Gen X to Z.

    Gen X ers wore a lot of cologne and perfume back in the day; a lot of it was UNISEX. Then everything simmered out with millennials and fine fragrance. Well, I don’t know if you’ve gotten a sniff, but fragrance is back. According to the top perfume hub in Seattle, A.K.A Macys, this scent designed for men still leads sales. It’s fresh, light, and popular with all ages and genders. 

    Tommy Bahama Maritime
    PRICE: $84.00
    SHOP: @Macys
    Drawing inspiration from the pleasure of sailing, MARITIME is an ode to the dynamism and power of the sea. A fresh, invigorating fragrance for the spirited explorer, this fragrance blends aromatic botanicals with intriguing complexity for a scent that evokes warm trade winds over crystal-clear waters. Tommy Bahama Maritime is an invigorating scent that layers herbaceous notes over sandalwood, musk, moss, and ambergris. It’s an intriguing fragrance with a fresh, warm scent for the spirited explorer.

    Every decade, our skin takes on a new challenge, and I’ve never met anyone who has looked in the mirror and thought I wish I looked older after 30. Whether it’s hormonal acne or menopause, chances are you’ve used Cetaphil to aid your sensitive skin. Now, the brand has just launched its first-ever collection of anti-aging products. THEY ARE PHENOMENAL! 

    Cetaphil Healthy Renew Face Serum
    PRICE: $22.99

    Navigating physical signs of aging with sensitive skin can be a challenge, as common ingredients like Retinol can be too harsh for sensitive skin. This is why Cetaphil created their first anti-aging line, Healthy Renew. The entire line harnesses Retinol alternative, Purified Peptides, to deliver clinically proven results, helping to defend against visible signs of aging, while being gentle enough for sensitive skin. The Healthy Renew Face Serum absorbs quickly and visibly improves skin’s firmness, texture, and tone while boosting skin’s luminosity and hydrating for 24 hours.

    LIPGLOSS is here to stay for another season, with everyone from teens to grandmas rejoicing.

This clear gloss is soothing, lightweight, and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. OH, and it has a non-sting-y Atelcollagen complex to help lips firm and plump. Yep, it’s amazing.
