Hair shampoos and conditioners that I use

These are product I recently purchased and I'm trying them out(unless I'm at my bfs)Joico Daily Care $12.65I got this last time I was at a hair dresser. She seen that I had a lot of scalp psoriasis and she suggested I use this. I've used it a few times...so far not finding beneficial results, but it might take sometime for it to work and to actually see resultsI also purchased "Live clean"-clean air Voluminizing ShampooThis is the newest addition -I used it two or three times. It smells great and it's pure Vegan, Natural Organic.Too early to tell if it helps with psoriasis but I'm sure if it's all organic it's good for the hair. I just have to decide which one I want to test out first.And last but not least s Mastercuts Tea Tree Conditioner(not...

updates

Yesterday my bf bought me a new canon camera, and I absolutely love it! It takes amazing pictures. My other canon camera was good too but its a little bit outdated. I bought it a few years back when it first came out, for about $450 Cnd.It was Canon PowerShot SD600 and the one I got now is SD 1400 :)I will be posting a lot more updates, and a lot more makeup/nail photos now that I have a better camera. I straggled to take good pics before and most of the time they would be too bright or too dark and the picture of the makeup would look nothing like the makeup I had on.On another note, I noticed that a lot of my visitors are from the States. Most of my purchases are done in Canada, so if I blog about some stores and their deals they are most likely located in Canada unless otherwise specified....

nail polish review

Finger Paints "Artist's Sapphire"This was my first time using Finger Paints brand, and the overall quality is pretty good. As you can see the nail polish is slowly starting to come off, but I've had it on since Monday morning so it's not so bad and I didn't use any top coat.It was $4.99 at Sally's on sale when you purchase 3 of them, they were each $4.99. I gave one away to my friend and I have the other one at home. I will review the other one as well.I love this color! I wasn't a fan of dark colors, especially blue but I just fell in love with this one and the quality is good. Overall, great product and great price...

expired makeup

Seems like a lot of us use makeup that has expired. I'm guilty of this, as bad as it sounds. I just came across this article and here it shows you how long you should use certain product. I never really paid attention to it, I just assumed it's still good. Now I'm planning on following this tip :)Hopefully you will too because there's tons of bacteria on the makeup and brushes especially if you decide to share your makeup, which may not be the best idea.Foundation: three to six monthsMascara: 3-6 monthsEye shadow, blush, and bronzer: 1-2 yearsLipstick and lip gloss: 1-2 yearsEye and lip liner: 1-2 yearsPerfume: 3 yearsOther tips:Brush your brushes regularly, don't share your makeup, and follow the guideline ab...

lose weight this winter

I was just taking a break from studying when I came across this wonderful articlehttp://ca.shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/lose-instead-gain-weight-winter-article-hqbv.htmlit has great tips, it suggests that you should not only shovel your own snow, but even neighbors if you plan to burn even more calories. Also instead of wasting time cleaning your car and warming it up to go to the gym, why not just run/walk outside instead? That way you don't have to waste time and gas.Oh and there's a great motivational quote"There is no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothi...

blah blah

I know I haven't been posting much but I've been really busy with school and doctors. I have 2 midterms next week followed by two papers, one of them being worth 35% and 12 pages long. Not to mention countless/pointless doctor's appointments. So apparantly since my TB skin test was positive, I've had tb as a child with no symptoms? Hmm, really? I didn't know that? Wonder how she'd know because there is no record of it, and I certainly wasn't aware of it. Not to mention that I tried explaining to her that I never had TB and that I've had to get vaccinated for it even before I came to Canada and when I came to Canada. Also I worked as a daycare teacher for almost 4 years and I always had to get my tb skin test and police clearance yearly so they would know, and it was always negative, except...

Now they are charging for the service of setting your dlink all over again, meanwhile it was free!I spent the entire day calling from my boyfriend's phone and arguing with them because somehow they don't believe its their fault for hiring dumbass people! I was beyond frustrated but now it's all good because I fixed...

I purchased this a over a week ago( on sale at walmart) and I'm in love.

Boredom= extensions review

Hello again,I just tweeted, not sure if you're following me but if your not you should :PI'm waiting for my next class to start and since I forgot to bring my credit card I couldn't purchase any of the books today! BOOAnyways, this will result in extensions review.I've had both clip in extensions and fuse extensions and let me tell you, the clip ins are sooooo much better. The fuse extensions not only damage your hair, but they grow with your hair as well and it looks really weird when one piece is longer than the rest of your hair. Not to mention you have to go back every few weeks to get them re-done. WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY! Unless ofcourse, you can afford going back to salon and paying them to redo them, but still it's damaging to your...

Back To School

As you all know it's that time of the year. Students are going back to school and I start tomorrow.Not really looking forward to it since my first class is at 8:30 am! How I missed University...N O T! LOLParking is going to be a huge issue since they are doing construction around the university and they took the biggest parking lot and used it to build engineering school right there on the lot, just lovely. Not to mention parking this year is around $400 a semester, and can't wait to find out how much my books will cost.But besides the nagging lol there's some good news.

New stuff

I will be posting a lot of new stuff sometime this week/weekend. I've spend most of my summer at my boyfriend's and therefore I've been slacking with updates since he has no internet there. I'm hoping to start updating regularly soon, since school is starting and I will be spending more time at my house. I will do some reviews on hair extensions since I've had so many of those in the past. Also on hair dyes as well because I dyed my hair way too many times I could become an expert in that area lol. I'm planning to change my layout soon as well and maybe go back to my old youtube channel? I don't know yet, I just don't want my ex creeping or trying to contact me again. Anyways stay tuned =)x...

rhinestones-review

Today I actually got a chance to try those rhinestones on, and they were a pain in the ass to put on. This was my first time using rhinestones on my toenails. The rhinestones were too small and it was hard to pick them up or place them on the nails. I used a toothpick to turn them around and place them in the position that I wanted but it got messy since I had to put a clear coat on so that the rhinestones would stick.Next time I'm going to buy larger ones because they are easier to work with.P.s I'm still learning how to properly use my cam lo...

New youtube channel :)

I finally created a new youtube channel! I decided to get rid of my old one for a few reason one of them being my ex creeping me and his gf also creeping me (his x being my x friend..) It's been almost 3 yrs how we haven't been together and I did move on but I don't know if he did since he was trying to talk to me still. We've been together for 5 years and then broke up and he was dating my friend as soon as we broke up.(and doing things while we were together) I decided its time for a new start. I completely cut off all of our x friends because they seem to only be talking shit both about him and then talking shit about me to him which I don't need in my life, therefore I got rid of that bs :)I've been dealing with way too much in the past few years from the crazy breakup to tons of drama...

Hot tip

Deep Facial CleansingTry a facial sauna. Grab a large bowl, fill it with very hot water (not boiling though). Hover your face over the water and cover your head and yourself with a towel. Don't move too much, because you might spill the water. Do this for about 10-15 min. After just rinse your face with water. This will leave your face leaving super smooth. This is also good for colds, but this time instead of having the bowl filled with just water, add 2 teabags of chamomile t...

Did you know?

Did you know that olive oil is packed with essential fatty acids that will refurbish your skin's hydration? You can apply it to your skin, and it's esspecially beneficial if you suffer from dry skin. This shouldn't irritate your skin or leave it itchy since its all natural.Not only is it healthy, but it's also all natural and you know what's in it. You don't have to go to stores searching for a lotion that won't irritate your skin. So save yourself from all that running around and just look in your cupboards. Who knew it would be that easy and cheap.*You can use it as lotion and put oil on your skin and rub it in,or you can just add a few drops to your bubble bat...

and I'm back

Hello there,As many of you know I just had surgery almost a week ago and I'm back. I've been feeling a lot better, and I'm up and moving finally. First few days were brutal, but now I'm feeling a lot better. I am going to get my stitches removed tomorrow. Can't wait because they became so itchy. The only downfall to the surgery is that I still can't eat solid foods and my stomach is bloated. The surgeon never mentioned anything about my stomach being bloated, but I guess its normal since I've read that a lot of people who have their gallbladder removed experience it.We'll see tomorrow. Anyways, I removed my youtube channel but I might make a new one soon. I will be posting some reviews, as well as skin care remedies, and some tutorials soon. x...

Quote of the day

It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.So true!P.s Going to apologize in advance for not updating so much, or not blogging about make up. I've been extremely busy and dealing with a lot. I'm supposed to have a surgery on June 1 but I think that it may be postponed due to another issue that just came up. Everything just seems to be piling up and seems like I've been having to deal with all these challenges to see if I'm going to make or break. My health hasn't been the greatest and I mean it's sad that I'm only 24 going through things that people go in their 50's but at least it gives me a new perspective and make me appreciate things and understand those who suffer from the same thing I do.Believe when people say...

Sometimes when nothing seems to be going right and things keep getting worse and worse I read this quote and makes me feel a lot better and gives me strength to carry on and never give up.Always remember, you can't change anyone but you can always change yourself!

When I first came across this on facebook I was very disturbed and just heartbroken. The pictures are very gruesome. The killers kill both the babies and the parents and if you are brave enough to youtube it or facebook it you will see what I'm talking about. It's just terrible. There are many facebook groups that you could join and help. Please if you can take your time to join and sign the petitions to try to stop the brutal seal hunt.

Long healthy hair

I've been looking at my old pics and damn do I miss my long hair. So I looked up some remedies and stuff that helps to speed up the hair growing process and this is what I found.1) eat lots of protein - hair is made up of protein. if you aren't getting enough, hair will be the 1st place your body will stop providing it for2) massage the scalp every day - hair follicles are fed by the blood. it will increase blood flow to them3) take biotin supplements. country life maxi-hair is a good supplement, too.4) increase omega fatty acid intake & healthy fats. like olive oil and nuts/seeds, for example. they make hair healthy & shiny5) take a multivitamin, drink plenty of water, & eat healthy - the healthier you are, the more it will show...

Beating the winter blues

It's that time again, the winter blues are back! I don't know about you but I know that my mood changes drastically in the winter time. I get more moody, I have less patience, I lose interest in activities. Overall, not a good time of the year. However, there are many things we can do to try to turn this around. Recently I've been diagnosed with a few things (nothing severe but makes you double think everything in life) and I realized that health is the most important thing that you need in life. If you're not healthy, everything else will slowly start going down the drain. You will start worrying about your health which in turn leads into stress and anxiety, and many other things.Anyways, here are some things you could do to deal with the...
