My 4-Step No-Heat Beach Waves Routine

My 4-Step No-Heat Beach Waves Routine Not my usual post but I HAVE TO SHARE an accidental discovery! I’m deffffffff no expert but I HAVE tried a lot of gels, mousses, curly hair methods, bowl methods etc with no success prob bc my naturally wavy hair is also super dry and porous. Here’s what finally made my waves less fuzzy and more defined!   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates)   4-step no-heat beachy waves routine: 1. FINO hair mask – in the shower, after shampooing, rinse hair, squeeze out water and leave on mid-shaft to ends for 10 minutes, then rinse again. 2. Guy Tang #MyHero Nourishing Cream – dry hair, then put on from midshaft to ends! Also shoutout to Guy who is my long time friend and the most genius hair artist! He gave me that iconic balayage like over 10 years ago and still colors my hair to this day! 3. JVN Air Dry Volumizing Wave Spray – spray all over and use hands to scrunch up! Also shoutout to Jonathan who has been the sweetest, most hilarious new friend in my life! So happy Pilates brought us together! 4. Olaplex Bonding Oil – once hair has air dried a bit, scrunch on ends I’ll link it all in my stories! Seriously, nothing else worked for me but this did so I hope it works for you too! Ps: I am wearing the Popflex Deep Dive One Piece! An accidental discovery I had to share!

Appreciating the Journey That Led to Living Out My Childhood Dream

Appreciating the Journey That Led to Living Out My Childhood Dream I uploaded my first YouTube video in 2009 not knowing that decision was going to change the rest of my life.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates)   I made up the screen name “Blogilates” because I simply meshed together 2 things I liked: blogging and Pilates. I uploaded my first workout video because it was a going away gift for my 40 POP Pilates students who wanted to still work out with me after I had to move away. I wasn’t trying to start a brand, get rich, or be famous. In fact, back in those days, you couldn’t even make money on YouTube. Brand deals and Adsense were not even a thing. It was simply a place to connect. Thank you VidCon for inducting me into the Hall of Fame What an HONOR, but especially alongside legends Michelle Phan, Philip DeFranco and Markiplier! Can’t believe I attended my first vidcon back in 2012 as a regular attendee waiting in line to take a pic with Harley of Epic Meal Time (who doesn’t love watching people construct absurdly large towers of high calorie foods then consuming it like a beast who hasn’t eaten for weeks?), then came back as a full-on YouTuber speaking on panels in front of thousands, then yesterday, inducted into the Hall of Fame? I have to really force myself to stop and look back in order to appreciate my journey, because too often I’m moving too fast, only looking forward, and thinking about everything going wrong instead of what has gone right. Pro pics by Ashly and iPhone pics by my number one supporter ever since forever, Sam    I uploaded my first YouTube video in 2009 not knowing that decision was going to change the rest of my life.   View this post on Instagram   A post… Cassey{authorlink}https://www.blogilates.com/blog/vidcon-2026/Blogilates The official blog of Cassey Ho https://i0.wp.com/www.blogilates.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/fav-1.png?fit=32%2C32&ssl=1

A perfectionist never rests

A perfectionist never rests An unfortunate truth for me, but a fortunate truth for you. The Popflex Super Slit Short is my favorite short ever because it’s so light and comfy, but also a little edgy. However… there was one tiny thing that I needed to fix. Like soooo tiny.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates) MY FAVE RUNNING SHORT Soo what did I change? It wasn’t the stretchy V waistband, the lightweight fabric, or the super soft and weightless built-in panty. Think smaller. Everything is pretty much the same EXCEPT there is a bartack now that keeps your slit from opening too far up the leg. Now it slits just to the right level! Although it seems like you guys didn’t have a problem with that anyway… Sometimes I just need to do these things to be satisfied with what I do. The life of a perfectionist. The Super Slit Short 2.0 SHOP SUPER SLIT SHORT Anyway, the Super Slit Short was already my fave and now I love it even more! I’m in size S and I’m 5’5”. What do you think?!

Oops, I made it too good

Oops, I made it too good I didn’t mean to make the Bonfire Fleece Jacket from my winter collection at Target this good but… here we are!   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates)  SHOP BONFIRE FLEECE   ‘Tis the season! Sooo, I wanted to give you something special. Especially since my research for women’s fleeces showed most of the ones out there are giving …nothing. So I went to my sketchbook and created a fleece I hope you’ll love. It has: Soft, thick fleece paired with a techy fabric Blousey, romantic raglan sleeves Elastic cuffs as well as an elastic waist Two huge cargo pockets A full-front zip that ends in a tall funnel neck to keep you warm. And it’s priced WAY less than similar designs from other retailers out there.  SHOP BONFIRE FLEECE The Bonfire Fleece is available in 3 colors, in sizes XS to 3X! We love, right? But here’s the thing.  This is honestly my favorite design from my current collection because it was designed so intentionally. I wanted it to be baggy without making you look like a box, and the cut is truly a work of art. You only have ONE MORE WEEK to shop this beautiful creation I made. Idk how the Blogilates winter drop at Target went so fast, but it’s almost over! I really didn’t want you to miss out on this jacket. It’s too good!   I didn’t mean to make the Bonfire Fleece Jacket from my winter collection at Target this good but… here we are!   View this post on Instagram   A post… Cassey{authorlink}https://www.blogilates.com/blog/blogilates-bonfire-fleece-jacket/Blogilates The official blog of Cassey Ho https://i0.wp.com/www.blogilates.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/fav-1.png?fit=32%2C32&ssl=1

Meet V2 of the Blogilates Ballerina Dress

Meet V2 of the Blogilates Ballerina Dress V2 of the Blogilates Ballerina Dress was inspired by unsatisfied people. First, they didn’t like the neckline and said it was unflattering. Then, they said the straps were too skinny and supportive. Fine fine fine. Let’s make some changes for V2.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates) SHOP AT TARGET These were my must-keeps for V2 of the Ballerina Dress: – Twirlability and the tiered mesh skirt. – The built-in shorts with the anti-cameltoe front panel and DEEP pockets. – Stretchy fabric. – Adjustable straps. And this is what I changed: – I traded in the skinny straps for thicker straps. – I killed the wide, square neckline and added a sweetheart neckline that cinches in the center to give that leotard vibe. – I also added an inner shelf bra to help with the support aspect! SHOP BLOGILATES AT TARGET I was bummed you didn’t love V1 but you know what, I’ve been watching reviews and it seems like everyone who tried it on is pleased so your comments guided the right design direction! This dress comes in 4 colors in xs to 3x and is avail at Target rn! I’m 5’5” wearing the xs.
