My New Favorite for Travel-Ready Curls

When we extended our staycation unexpectedly, I found myself running out of hair products. Thankfully, I spotted this adorable Spēs Soft Fluffy Shampoo Travel Set at KKV. I bought it out of necessity, but oh my—this has now earned a permanent spot on my list of must-haves.

Why I Bought It

I picked this up because we were extending our trip and didn’t have enough shampoo and conditioner. I had no expectations, but Spēs has always stood out to me among KKV’s beauty brands. I've tried other products under the brand and they didn't disappoint. This one came in a pink box and promised soft, fluffy hair with camellia and collagen—two ingredients I know my curls love.

What’s Inside

This set includes:

Camellia and Collagen Shampoo (for silky and fluffy hair)

Camellia and Collagen Conditioner

Washing-Free Hair Spray (which I haven’t tried yet)

Each bottle is 50ml—perfect for travel. The scent is beautiful: fresh, clean, and not overly sweet, which is rare for travel minis.

Real-World Test

Back in the hotel, I didn’t have a comb in the bathroom. Usually, this would be a problem for curly hair like mine. My stylist’s assistant always reminds me to comb my hair while the conditioner is soaking, or I’ll end up with tangles and knots.

But this time? Zero tangles. Not even one.

That has NEVER happened before—especially not with a travel-sized set. The shampoo and conditioner combo worked like magic. My curls were soft, defined, and tangle-free. That alone makes me want to stock up on full sizes.

Final Thoughts

I haven't tried the dry shampoo yet, but I’m already sold on this line. The shampoo and conditioner exceeded expectations—both in scent and performance. If you're heading out for a trip and want something reliable for your curls, this is the set to get.

Spēs, you’re officially my favorite KKV brand. I’ll be getting the full-sized bottles as soon as I go back to KKV.

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

Part 1: I Finally Had Enough of My Dry Feet and Did Something About It

I have been annoyed with my feet for months. Not because there was anything particularly wrong with them. They were just dry . Really dry. And you know I have a problem with dryness (hello skin, lips). And somehow, despite noticing this constantly, I kept doing absolutely nothing about it. The moment that gets me every time is when I’m waiting for my son at piano class. I’ll sit down, cross my legs, look down at my slip-ons or sandals and there they are. My dry, flaky feet. Then I become painfully aware that there are other people sitting beside me who can probably see them too. 😂 Every time, I think, I really need to do something about this. And then piano class ends, life resumes, and apparently my feet are no longer part of my jurisdiction. Eventually, I had enough. I found this Mond’Sub Chamomile Foot Peeling Spray at KKV and decided that my poor neglected feet were finally getting some attention. The process wasn’t glamorous. There was peeling skin involved. There were bits...
