I'd been feeling very ill the past week from the sun. I was having heat stroke like symptoms, which is odd to last so long and this was the third time i'd experienced this. Other then going to school for my last two days at the beginning of the week, I hadnt stepped outside for longer than a few minutes as I grew a new fear of the sun, hahah.
But as I was beginning to feel a lot better, I decided to venture outside yesterday and go with my dad down to Toronto. Sitting in the car for so long unable to escape the sun brought my headache back which gave me a bit of a fright, but luckily it was only temporary and I seem to be back to my normal self again!

Favourites of Summer

Hello lovelies!
As I have just officially finished school yesterday, I thought I would show some of my favourite summer items.



Dove Go Fresh Body Mist in Rebalance / Sunglasses - Zellers /  Wet n' Wild blushes in Pearlescent Pink and Heather Silk / Colourings Shadowlight pencil in 03 - The Body Shop / Rimmel Lasting Pro Polish in Steel Grey / Annabelle Shadow in Cloud / Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Nude Delight / e.l.f. Hypershine Gloss in Raspberry

Bag - Aldo / Brown Sandal -  Blowfish / Black Fringe Sandal - H&M / Brown Flat-  Blowfish / Loafer - Aldo / Studded Flat - Zellers / Goody Flower Headband and Leopard Bow

 I have been loving dresses as it has been very hot here. I got this one about 3 years ago from H&M and I adore the print.

 It may not look like it, but this is actually a very flattering dress. It has a floral print and cutout on the back. It comes to about the knee and was bought from H&M.

Long tank from Ardene. This has a very bohemian look and looks nice with leggings or shorts.

Ojon Volume Advance Kit ($52 value for $39)




This set contains:
- 1.5 oz Damage Reverse™ Restorative Hair Treatment
- 2 oz Volume Advance™ Volumizing Shampoo
- 2 oz Volume Advance™ Volumizing Conditioner
- 1.8 oz Volume Advance™ Thickening Spray


Ojon Restorative Hair Treatment is said to hydrate dry, damaged hair, as well as strengthen and restore a healthy look and feel to the hair leaving it soft, silky and manageable. This can be used on all hair types, and will leave a noticeable improvement even to healthy hair. Product contains no Parabens, Synthetic Fragrances, Synthetic Dyes, Phthalates, orTriclosan.


The product comes in a small container that will liquify when rubbed between your hands. 1/2 a teaspoon is to be used from roots to ends and left on the hair for 20 minutes, and then shampooed out using the volumizing shampoo and conditioner.


Ojon Hydrating Thickening Spray is used to add extra lift and volume to the hair. Apply 4-5 sprays to damp hair from roots to end and comb through. Blow dry and style as desired.


My impressions:
Let me start off by saying that for the price of this product, the size of the bottles are tiny!  The only thing that would last you a while is the thickening spray. The shampoo and conditioner only has enough for maybe 5 washes if youre lucky. The smell of these products is very odd. Having natural ingredients coming from a tree I can understand why. They smell like plants. And not in a good way. The aroma of these are so unpleasant that any time I open the bottle I wish I had a gas mask. No one that I have shown the product to can stand the smell either, that when I had the mask on they even wouldnt go near me! Now you're probably thinking emily, youre crazy i'm sure its not that bad. Well im sure theres someone out there who likes the smell of these, but not me. I figured when you wash it off it would be fine. But the smell sticks in your hair forever! Even after washing my hair with other shampoos, the smell still lingered. I hated this stuff so bad that I refused to use it and the shampoos were given to my aunt.
Now youre probably wondering if the product gave me volume or not. I notice a slight difference, but nothing major. However, with more use I might have noticed more of an improvement. As an overall, I am sad that I did not enjoy this product. Will I try Ojon Hair products again? Theres a possibility.

Hey lovelies. I apologize for the lack of posts lately. I have been busy with school and such, and usually pass out in my bed by the time I get home at night. Ive been feeling a bit crummy lately and havent been in the mood for blogging. But I promise to post more frequently now that I'm almost done school. Now that my camera is working again, I should have pictures up soon of some things ive purchased lately, outfit of the days and some summer favourites. talk to you soon
