Sweating Champagne Turns 3!

January 6, 2019

sweating champagne ecbg studio cake

I can’t believe Sweating Champagne has officially been around for 3 years! It has been a crazy whirlwind so far and I can’t wait to see what the future holds. I have always been a writer and a storyteller at heart. My favorite high school class was even a Creative Writing elective. Blogging has given me the thrilling freedom (as we know all Sagittarius’ need) to write whatever I want, from whatever view I want, and create an aesthetic that’s all my own #onbrand. Being able to create something from scratch like this with all the creative freedom in hand is a DREAM. It is what gets me up everyday, it is what motivates me everyday, and it is what keeps me going.

To celebrate this exciting occasion, I teamed up with ECBG Cake Studio, a Chicago bakery that aims to celebrate the moments that matter, for an amazing anniversary cake and a GIVEAWAY (keep reading below)! ECBG Cake Studio is located in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood and was founded by Chicago baker, Erin Martin.

For Sweating Champagne’s anniversary masterpiece I decided to go with a custom 6″ cake. I choose lemon cake, cream cheese filling, and honey frosting. IT WAS AMAZING. The cake was light tasting and sooo aesthetically pleasing. I mean, come on, check out those sprinkle formations! Decked out with white chocolate icing and celebratory macaroons, I couldn’t believe the floral display of white roses (my favorite) and how perfect the whole creation was.

Formulate Co. Shampoo & Conditioner Review + Giveaway

October 22, 2018

Formulate co shampoo and conditioner reviewFormulate Co. shampoo and conditioner is personalized hair care that you can customize based on your hair characteristics, goals, lifestyle, and environment.

Formulate Co.’s  shampoo and conditioner are 100% a customized set and are not sold already made or as individual items. Lately I have been having issues with flatness and too much oil production with my hair, while having to make sure that the product I use is color safe, so the opportunity to partner with Formulate Co. couldn’t have come at a better time. I mean, why spend hundreds on hair care that only half meets your needs?

Keep reading below for the chance to win your own custom Formulate Co. Shampoo and Conditioner set!

So, you might be wondering how you can customize shampoo and conditioner to be tailored specifically to your hair. While it’s not a 100% match (let’s be honest, nothing in life is), the questions asked in Formulate Co.’s easy “hair wizard” quiz compiles a pretty solid overview of your hair goals, hair type, common styling uses. You can even be as detailed to choose the scent and intensity of smell you want your Formulate Co. shampoo and conditioner to have! I think this was my favorite part of the customization. I chose Burgeon, a nice orange scent, at medium strength! My hair goals consisted of oil control, volume, length, replenishing, and color protection – this last part was extra important as I have recently been coloring my hair a lot this year! See my most recent look here.

Based off my quiz analysis and customization, I was then sent my own personalized Formulate Co. shampoo and conditioner set in the mail (took about two weeks to receive). The packaging of the set was very modern and sleek, featuring black and white tones and hexagon-shaped bottles. The box came with a physical analysis of my Formulate Co. quiz results. I really liked because you were able to see a simple summary of what ingredients were added to your shampoo and conditioner and why those specific ingredients were chosen based on your hair goals. I really appreciated having a paper version of this to keep for later.

I’ve been using my Formulate Co. shampoo and conditioner for about a month now and the biggest difference I have seen with my hair is increase in volume and less oily, which were my main concerns with my hair. I think the idea of customized hair care is unique and would try it again based on these results.
