Found It! “2 Broke Girls” Star Beth Behr’s Hair Secrets

If you’re not already watching 2 Broke Girls, you should be.  The show is absolutely hilarious in that “I shouldn’t like this, but I DO” kinda way.  InStyle.com recently interviewed the blonde co-star, Beth Behr, and found out her hair care secrets, which I am promptly going to try.  Beth has gorgeous blonde locks so she must be doing something right.  Her secrets?  Redken Color Extend Rich Recovery Protective Treatment. “I use the color masks once a week because they are really great.  Redken has a really good one for blondes that I go to.”  The actress also uses KMS California’s Leave-In Conditioner to help keep her golden locks silky smooth.

The Monday Rundown

Pier 1 Tierdrop Glass Vases: I’m loving these silver vases.  They’re super modern and chic.  Enough said.

J. Crew Zigzag Sequin Tee: I literally just tried this top on in J. Crew in size XS.  It fit but didn’t look good…I had the salesperson look up all the size smalls in the LA area and she could only come up with one store, in the valley. Grab this up in your size ASAP before they’re all sold out.  Obsessed.

Belvedere Pink Grapefruit vodka: I love Belvedere vodka and I LOVE grapefruit.  What’s not to like here?

Slatkin & Co. “Suntan” candle: A candle that smells like heaven is super rare and I looooove this summer “suntan” scent.

Rhinestone Black Quartz Tassle Earrings: They’re very vintage-inspired and I’m a big fan of the gold and black combo.

Long Tassle-End Necklace: SUCH a statement piece.  Enough said.

Coach ColorTag – you could win a gift card!

I’ve always loved Coach and over the years they’ve done some really fun and innovative campaigns that I can really get behind.  They just launched ColorTag to celebrate their new, colorful, Legacy Collection and are giving away more than 100 gift cards (ranging from $100 to $500) that will appear to my readers at random!

For a chance to win, just share the above on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc. (roll your mouse over the green image)– I chose JADE as my color of choice.  Remember, “chic is where you find it.”  Here’s my Jade inspiration:

Kenneth Jay Lane Coral and Jade Cocktail Ring: I love the color combo and who doesn’t love a cocktail statement ring?

Amanda Rudley “Lollies” Emerald Jade Jawbreaker Earrings: These remind me of a pair of clip-on jade earrings that my Grandmother gave me when I was little.  They’re very vintage looking and I love the boldness of the stone.

Coach Leather Legacy Mini Crossbody: I love a bag with a pop of color and crossbody bags are so fun and wearable.
