It’s hard to believe that five years ago, I was preparing for two major life events, the birth of my daughter and the deployment of my husband. Unfortunately, those events were set to coincide with one another. Thankfully, my husband was able to stay behind and rejoin his squadron two weeks after the birth of our daughter, Cora. I’m still so grateful that we had those two weeks and that I was able to have Jake there in the hospital to support our newly expanded family. But, saying goodbye to him was one of the hardest moments I have experienced as a military spouse. To keep Jake involved, I made it a priority to send as many videos and photos as I could. I also remember getting home from work in the afternoon and immediately hopping on Skype in order for Cora to see Jake and hear his voice.
After nine months of separation, our family was finally reunited. And, given my husband’s current career path, we have not had to face a deployment since those days. Yet, there are still families out there that continue to experience separations and deployments.
So, this Veteran’s Day, I want to thank my husband for his service to our country and for working hard to keep our crazy family together as he continues on in his military career.
This Veteran’s Day, I also want to challenge you to stop and think about the Veterans in your life. And, if you don’t have a Veteran in your circle of family or friends, that doesn’t mean that you can’t help our military service members. This Veteran’s Day,Suave® is celebrating our women in uniform just in time for Veterans Day by donating 10,000 products to the troops overseas. It’s awesome that companies like Suave® take the initiative to support our service men and women. Every little bit matters!
I recently had the opportunity to test of some Suave® from the Sea Mineral Line from Suave and Luxe Style Infusion Line from Suave lines. I am one for quick hairstyles as I head out the door for work so I am partial to the Sea Mineral Line, especially the Sea Salt Spray. The combination of the moisturizing Sea Mineral Infusion Moisturizing Body Shampoo & Conditioner with the Sea Salt Spray helps create a loose, textured look for my naturally wavy hair. And, for those days when I have to put a little extra time into my hair, the Luxe Style Infusion Smoothing Light Weight Weather Proof Cream and the Luxe Style Infusion Anti-Humidity Hairspray helps combat the frizz. The hairspray even worked throughout a steamy run in the rain today! Talk about putting it to the test.
So, you are probably thinking, how can I help? Suave Professionals® is enlisting {no pun intended!} the help of both military families and every day civilians to join the celebration and share military-inspired looks on social media using the #ShareBeauty hashtag. And, to get you inspired to share your hair, beauty vlogger and Military Veteran, Dulce Candy is sharing her tips for creating quick and easy regulation-friendly hairstyles for women with an exclusive YouTube tutorial! If you are anything like me, you will appreciate her simple how-to guide. Yes, I admit that I am hair challenged, just ask my daughter 😉
That’s right! This Veteran’s Day, we want you! Wear your military-inspired hairstyle on Veteran’s Day, share using #ShareBeauty, or both, to support Suave as they donate 10,000 products to troops overseas.
Tell me, who are you celebrating this Veteran’s Day?

I always admire the great sacrifice the men and women in the service and their families make. It's great that a company like Suave is doing something like this to honor the military.
Thank you Elizabeth! I agree; it is nice when companies step up to support our military.
Oh my goodness - your family is adorable!! Thank you so much for your husband's and your whole family's sacrifice and service. Truly - I am so grateful to the men and women who protect us daily! And what a fantastic gift from Suave - I love this!!

Thank you so much Rachel 🙂
Happy veteran’s day.
We dont celebrate it here in germany.
When i was young i wanted to Join the army.
But there i was not good enough for.
Thanks for stopping by Pascal!
Oh wow I'm sure there's never a really "good" time, what a difficult time to leave for deployment. I'm glad he got to stick around for Cora's birth! I am eternally grateful for everyone who sacrifices so much to serve our country.
Looking back, we often say that it was the best time even though it was challenging! I am so thankful that he was at least there for the birth. I can't imagine going through that alone.
For Veterans Day I am celebrating my dad, my hubs and LOTS of friends. Like you, I was an aviation spouse…in the Navy. I’m so happy he was able to be there for the birth of your daughter, that can be rare (especially in the Navy?). Have a great day!

Thank you! We are a little crazy sometimes… well, okay, all of the time!
Now I am even MORE excited to have met you. I am happy that your family is together, and can only imagine how tough that time apart was, especially with a brand new baby. The service and sacrifices made my military families are just so great. My husband and I have been members of Team RWB (Veteran support group) for about a year now. I love this organization and I love our Veterans. We owe them everything. Veterans Day morning we ran in the first annual run to bring awareness to a different Veteran support group Healing 4 Warriors that offers counseling and such, all services free to Veterans completely run on donations. It was the perfect way to spend Veterans day. I hope you guys did enjoy a nice Veterans day, although I think everyday should be Veterans Day!
