Advice for beachy wavy hair?

I could sit and google all day for tips on getting those perfect just-left-the-beach waves but why not ask the tumblinas?! At this point I have a buffet of products at home which work sometimes - but not all the time. I’m on a mission to find that one reliable method & product that won’t let me down! My hair is naturally wavy but has a mind of it’s own and needs some direction!

I’ve tried…

Aussie Hair Insurance Leave In Conditioner

Aquage Sea Salt Texturizing Spray

Tresemee Touchable Curls Shaping Milk

Tresemme Flawless Curls Extra Hold Mousse

Would love to hear if anyone has suggestions!!

An open letter to the guys who sit on the patio at The Waterfront bar on Kettner.

Dear guys at The Waterfront,

Thanks for ceaselessly cat-calling my roommate and me every Monday evening on our walk home from yoga. Apparently I underestimated the appeal of butt-crack sweat.

PS, try the grilled cheese.

i like science (marine and environmental is what i studied), and i think of myself as a reasonably intelligent person. that said, i certainly don’t walk around like a babbling encyclopedia. if the subjects do come up, it’s often more of a connection with the person based on a mutual respect for the environment, since what i have studied influences the way i purchase products, the food i eat, trying to drive my car as minimally as possibly, etc. on the flip side, i live for going to shows - music is a total high for me and i love the energy. i can wander around an art museum and appreciate the things i see. i’m also a sucker for a little mischief and hokey seasonal activities. generally, i’m just a big fan of being around people.

i say all of this because, as i’ve met more guys in the past year (and one especially misleading one recently), it seems like all they are looking for is instant gratification from a girl with her head in the clouds. i have a pretty good salaried job at a nature center where i work 9-5 with the occasional night event or weekend program, and (upon hearing i’m a 9-5er) guys seem to use this as an excuse to say we “don’t connect.” excuse me for being mildly successful as a 24-year woman. for those of us who are single and interested in meeting someone, i think it’s important to keep these things in mind. we shouldn’t ever let a guy make us feel inadequate or like we’re not part of the typical crowd of peers just because we’ve stepped slightly above the bar of what everyone else seems to be doing. be proud of yourself and strive to find someone who is in awe of every bit of you.
