Sigh. When being a leader in beauty & fashion has its disadvantages: Remember who had it first, girl. *Please note that I am joking.

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.                                       ...

My hair is one of my most favourite things about me and being a girl. I think everyone should treat their hair like their first born. We treat it so badly with all those heat products, tight ponytailss, backcombing and that big mean sun that it deserves special treatment on the regular. This is why I am always on the hunt for a great deep conditioning treatment and have found 2 that I really want to share with you. First, is Pantene Pro-V’s Professional Level Damage Repair Ampoules, which is a box containing 5 tubes of single use treatments. It is recommended to leave it on for 5 minutes after shampooing and before conditioning, once every 2-3 weeks. I used it once a week and loved every minute of those 5 weeks. My hair was soooo silky soft and so easy to style. One week I even used it as a leave in, while swearing off heating tools. So there were 7 days of a lot of braids and buns, but my hair thanked me. The second I received in a swag bag from a Joe Fresh party, Joico’s...

Ladies! I have recommended this product before, but I must give it the proper post it deserves, plus I found a new use for it- the face! No joke. This stuff is amazing.   It is a kind of oil that is lightweight, does not clog or look greasy. It is perfection. Of course I put it on around 10-20 minutes before I put on any makeup. But it soaks up fairly quickly so there has been no change in my makeup application or staying power. (I of course use a primer, but we all should regardless of face regime). I guess I shouldn’t toot its horn too much. In regards to acne, I have found no change, some here and there but nothing out of the ordinary or due to the silk infusion. So it isn’t a total miracle worker. Just super moisturizing, while feeling and smelling fabulous. As for hair, I put it on when damp and on dry hair every day until I wash it again (also mentioned before this can be 5-7 days) and my hair does not look greasy! I love putting it on curls so they are shi...

InStyle just tweeted a link to the 71 hottest celebrity hair makeovers, so of course I looked at at least 30 and decided it was time for me to shake things up again. As a new grad my budget is strained, so I was thinking the easiest way to deal with my hair is to go back to its natural colour. This is not an easy task when I have died it fairly dark and I would rather not go through the whole bleaching process again. I have wanted hair extensions for a while, so I think this would be a great excuse to get them! If you have any tips or tricks to get this look, feel free to share!
