2012 Resolutions

I have been thinking long and hard about what changes I want to make this year. Long story short, 2011 wasnt very good to me and it left me feeling lost and unhappy. A lot of thought was out into deciding what it was I wanted, what made me happy or sad- basically just what was missing from my life that I could change to make this year better. I decided on the following 

 I feel like these are small changes, yet would still make a big difference. Hopefully I will actually stick to them. What are your resolutions?

Tunes

If I Had A Boat // James Vincent McMorrow




King and Lionheart // Of Monsters and Men




Miami // Foals

Disco Ball

This is hard to capture in a picture, but I am in love with these festive sparkly silver nails. I used Revlons 'Silver Screen' and Body Jewels 'Silver Glitter' over it. I just think its so pretty, and im not usually someone for a lot of sparkle.

CHI Silk Infusion Review

 This stuff is my favourite thing to exist, ever. I had heard so many good reviews on CHI products for years, but for some reason never tried any of them. While attending hair school I was experimenting with my hair a lot, changing colours and styles more frequently than I probably should have. With that being said, my hair was not happy with all the abuse it was getting, leaving me with breakage, split ends, and just overall dry, not so nice hair. From someone who never coloured or did more than straighten or curl their hair, becoming a blonde and then redhead was a really fun change, but would a lot nicer if it came without damage.

I was on the hunt for some nice products to use- different conditioners, oils, straightening creams and heat protectants, and while some of those were nice and I did notice a difference in my hair, nothing gave me such amazing results as CHI's Silk Infusion. Now I had been thinking about trying this product one day, but when going to the store I was actually going with the intention of purchasing the 44 Iron Guard heat protectant, however they didnt have it in stock so I figured I would try this one as I knew its reviews were very positive.

The product is an oil that is applied to damp hair prior to styling. It is meant to reconstruct the hair and give it a silky feel and shine. Does it do this? Absolutely. The first time I used it, I couldnt stop touching my hair. It hadnt felt that smooth and silky in months! I was amazed. Only a very small amount needs to be used, as it disperses through the hair easily. The one thing im on the fence about is the smell. It reminds me of cologne or mens after shave. Kind of an odd smell for a hair product- not bad, just unexpected compared to the usual fruity smells most brands have.

I am more than happy with this product and would recommend it to everyone with dry or damaged hair. I honestly dont know how I managed without it all this time. The bottle is going to last me ages, but when im finished I will definitely be repurchasing.

What I Got For Xmas

Wen hair care system, Bodyshop bath set, leopard/zebra print scarf, black tights, FoxyLocks extensions(dyed to match my hair), milk and white chocolate Terry's chocolate oranges, Wonderstruck Perfume, and also a Keurig special edition(not photographed as its in my kitchen).

I also got new scissors and brushes for work in November as an early xmas present because I needed to use them right away. I will be reviewing a few of the things you see here in the near future once I have produced a proper opinion on them, so you can look forward to that. I have also decided I am going to try to blog everyday this year.

I hope everyone had a lovely christmas and new year, and wish you all the best for 2012 x
