Top 3 hair products


Hi! I've been meaning to post this for a while now, but I finally made the time.  I'm currently on a no-heat roll when it comes to my hair, haven't touch my irons since I last got it cut in August. I have very curly/frizzy/fluffy :) hair that is quite high maintenance, so in order for me not to have to use heat I need to make sure that I'm using products that manage my hair for me.  So these three guys help my hair stay in shape.

1. Tresemmé's Naturals: Nourishing Moisture Shampoo
Normally I tend to stay away from Tresemmé since I find that it doesn't do much for my hair, but I saw this and I must say that I'm quite pleased with it. This shampoo has lower sulphates which is great! Sulphates are what make the shampoo lather, but they also strip your hair of their natural oils, so you should preferably stay away from them. However, its quite difficult to find sulphate free shampoos, unless you go looking in hair salons, and so I thought that this was the next best thing. It feels a lot softer that regular shampoo and I really like it!

2. Aussie's Three minute miracle : Frizz Remedy
Holy Grail product by far! This thing truly is a miracle. I've been repurchasing it for some time now and I find that its something that I can't go without. It superb! Makes my hair smooth and manages my curls to the point where frizz has completely been excluded + it smells lovely! :D

3. Lee Stafford's Argan Oil
I recently ran out of my L'oreal Keraste hair oil and was desperate for something similar. As I've mentioned before, I've been meaning to order Moroccan Oil, but I've been lazy and I've constantly put it to the side. So I saw this and I grabbed it right away, this is pretty much a dupe for Moroccan Oil and I use it once I get out of the shower. 2 itty-bitty pumps and my hair will dry all nice and frizz free.

So those are my Hair favourites right now and are pretty much the only hair products that I use!
Hope you enjoyed!

Spooky


My school's picture committee is holding a Halloween-themed photography contest where you can win flight tickets, so me and a friend decided that we'd give it a go.  She came over this morning and I did her makeup, which for the record was quite a heavy assignment to get off, and then we went out to the forest where I live and took some pics.  Were not sure if were going to send one in, but I do quite like how this one turned out, it looks quite scary :P

What do you think? Is it halloween-y enough?

Autumn wonders








 Just barely got back from an almost 2 hour long walk with the dogs, I feel so much better after some exercise, I really need to start prioritizing it! It was cold yet the sun was out so it was totally fine + its so pretty outside! But now I'm really tired, threw myself into a warm shower when I got home and now I need to rehearse for a presentation that I have tomorrow morning! Oh the relief I'll feel when its over! No more assignments until after the break! do you know what that means? = better bloging! ;D It'll be great!

Can't be bothered


Ughhh! I'm so frustrated right now! I have this major history essay due tomorrow and its literally bugging the crap out of me. It's a group essay which makes it so much worse! Essays aren't meant to be written in groups, I mean come on! and since the guys in my group apparently are incapable of working, I have to do almost everything, luckily there's one more girl in my group who works well...

And on top of that I have another hand in due tomorrow..
...but on the bright side, holidays next week! and that's what's keeping me going. 6 more days and I'll be fine!


I know I'm complaining to much but it helps to rant, now I can go back and finish of the essay feeling slighlty less aggravated.

Wednesday afternoon is when I can breathe out and feel relieved and thats when I can get back to bloging normally, EXCITED! I just can't write about anything interesting when I have all this annoying school work to do!


See ya later!

Sunday funday?

 I got a new phone last monday! People can get a hold of me now! yay! :P
I luuuv it!



Study, study, study


I finally booked flight tickets for Paris in 2 weeks! I'm beyond excited! It'll be the best thing ever!
Anyways, I still have a lot going on, but tomorrow evening I'll be hugely relieved because then I will have suffered through what probably is going to be a rather hard exam in "Economical Politics." But I feel like I have a grip on it so hopefully I'll ace it :)

Then I only have 2 big assignments and a maths test to endure before holidays in 2 weeks (PARIIISS!!!) :) 

Now I'm going to read through my notes and go to bed. Tomorrows a long day but hopefully I'll find the time to update with something a bit more interesting! :D

Hi! + today


Heyy! Just realized that I haven't updated in more than a week...whoopsies! But I was in Stockholm, which by the way was really fun (Although I didn't bring my camera, but I'm going back within the next month, so I'll shoot some then.) Then this past week has been filled with assignments, essays,  loads of planning and bad weather = no motivation or inspiration.

Anyways, until I get some more time to come up with good posts (which'll probably be tomorrow) I'll leave you for today with what I wore today. :) not the best pics... :S









Pants - Zara, Cropped sweater- Gina Tricot + Ankle boots

My hair was super curly today = Love!
I'm currently on a no-heat hair-diet, I haven't touched my irons in probably almost 2 months = yay!, I've managed to keep it frizz free which is the key to not having to use heat, at least for me. I hope to proceed this way until christmas, I barely have any split ends anymore! Whoop whoop! I'm also on a minimal makeup routine, instead of packing on eyeshadow, eyeliner and all that stuff, I simply curl my lashes and apply mascara = ready for school :)

I'll see you tomorrow!
