Oh Sephora and your samples. You get me every time. Benefit's They're Real! Mascara is the bomb.com. NO clumping, ever! (even day 2 when I don't wash it off) and they make my lashes uber long. And none of those dreaded "tickies". Please excuse the bangs here, they were new.

I had mentioned before  that I did not fully enjoy a China Glaze top coat (love their base coat though). So why I decided to buy another is anyone's guess. Maybe the name fooled me? Patent Leather Top Coat. Sounded too cool not to get, right? Like the last one, it did it's job but it takes way to long to dry so I end up with imprints. No good.

My hair is one of my favourite parts about me, thus I invest a lot of time and money into it. When you only wash your hair once a week, you might as well make it worth it. My new favourite shampoo: Prosys Organic Shampoo. I love it because it is a cream, meaning it is more nourishing. My hair doesn't feel like it was stripped of everything it once knew and loved. It lathers a tad but is able to make its way around my head. It smells really good! That is always a bonus. Conditioner/ leave-in/Hair Mask: Chi Nourish Intense It really does leave me hair feeling great, no matter which way I use it. Sometimes when I want my hair curly I will wet my hair, skip shampoo and just conditioner and it is light enough to create nourished but not heavy curls. This also smells good. Not a conventional smell, but more spicy, like most Chi products.                                                         

We all know the benefits of exercise. But my problem is always I either get bored or don't want to shell out the money for classes to spice things up. I have solved these problems. Freeloading! Oakley had a summer series, O-Active , where every week we got to try a new exercise for, wait for it, FREE! It was lots of fun and ignited motivation in me to do more. Not only did I enjoy the social aspect of exercising (hard to do during my 5am solo gym session), but I enjoyed getting out there and trying new things. Here are some of the fun things we did! Fitwall! Trampoline Aerobics Lululemon has a lot of community workshops and last week I attended their Runs ablazin' circuit run to celebrate the time change. SO HARD. Every location has different events and next week I am excited to go to their Barreworks event. Last, but definetly not least, Nike has a Nike Training Club . 3 times a week they have different ambassadors leading a very intense workout. L
