Link Love

I have quite dry and damaged hair, due to my bad habit of using a hair straightener every week. After desperately contemplating my straw-like hair yesterday, I did a quick search for DIY hair masks. I decided to try the tropical hair mask from Swoon pictured above, mostly because I had all supplies on hand. Well, it worked! No miracle, my hair hasn't drastically changed to the healthiest, shiniest texture ever, but it definitely looks better and feels softer. Find the recipe on Swoon and see for yourself!

Lovely Sponsors

This month's lovely sponsors are a wonderful, creative, inspiring group of lifestyle bloggers, artisans and independent shop owners. I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I do! - Dell Cove Spice Co. carries everything you need to make barbecue and outdoor parties season a success (cocktail rimmers! Mojito sugar cubes!). I bet their gourmet BBQ spice and dry rub sampler would make some dads happy on Father's Day.

- Meet the lovely Shell of Kitty and Buck, who blogs about creative inspiration, photography, travel, fashion, books and picnics -and also throws in the occasional DIY and recipe post. I am amazed by her fabulous hair! I couldn't pull it off, but if you can, she shared the full how-to on how she dyes it in pastels and brights.

- Lynn and Lou are two equally awesome sisters conquering the blogosphere with DIY projects, scrumptious recipes, design and fashion inspiration, and daily happenings. Their endless creativity blows my mind.

- Calinteya carries delicate handmade jewelry, hand knitted cowls to keep you warm, and clever framed cross stitch.

- Debbie of In Whirl of Inspiration's witty and funny writing always makes me leave her blog with a smile on my face. She shares things she admires and inspire her, from crafts to recipes, to movies, to books, to travel, and basically anything pretty or amusing.
