Nailed it!

So I am totes in love with Sally Hansens ingenious product Salon Effects real nail polish strips!
Now I am not a nail person, I dont go to salons, I don't get em did. I don't like long nails and all that jazz, I'm a simple, short, neat nailed gal, often seen sporting vivid coloured nails on my lil childlike fingers. But now I can bling them up, next level!

Admittedly this isn't the first time I have seen a product like this, I had seen Sephora release a nail sticker when I was in the States last year. Now I am stoked that a similar product is sold here! Sally Hansens Salon Effects are sold at Priceline, RRP $15 a pop. You get 16 stickers, a lil nail file/buff and cuticle stick.

So quick and easy to apply, I am in love and wont party with out these again! No drying time, but I do find a clear top coat extends the life of them a few extra days.

Favourite designs worn so far are the fun and girly Collide A Scope and the sassy Laced Up

Pink ladies

From within

From years of lighting, heat products, travelling etc my hair has finally had it! I could scream, but instead I cut it off (take THAT hair!)

Whats your favourite hair products for damaged hair? I have been taking QSilica tablets for the last month and now starting on a new round of vitamins. Super Colloidal Silica from Blooms which is a higher dose than the QSilica. Also some Biotin from Thompson Nutrition. These will ensure I tackle the problem from the inside out,strengthening and encouraging growth. I am thinking of trying the John Frieda Root Awakening shampoo/conditioners as well.

Do you have a favourite brand/product to restore and repair damaged hair? Tell me!!

Run to Paradise

A quick trip to Sydney. Was flying down to see the White Lies in concert, but it was cancelled due to their tour not being financially viable after the earthquakes in Japan. Still a wicked little weekend away though

California Dreamin

In November out of the middle of nowhere I had the chance to go to California to visit a friend. This literally was planned, booked and I was on a plane within 36hrs of the first joke about me just flying over there for the week (yes you hear right, week)
After not much thought and thankfully an approving boss I literally had one day to go to work and clear up some things, visit my Grandparents, grab some stuff from the shops, pack my bags and exchange my cash. Then hello I was on a plane from Brisbane to L.A for the second time in only a few months.
