Check me out

Looking at new trends each season is fabulously fun and inspiring. They come and go but the best thing is to see how people pick them up and keep little bits and pieces for themselves, forever. I have clients in my salon that still wants their 80s bangs, just the way they cut it 30 years ago. They blow dry it all fluffy and spray it dead hard with super strong hairspray, pretty cool I think. As for me I have kept the same fringe for the past 5 years, which I would say is quite a long time. A long heavy, wide, blunt fringe with my blonde locks.

The trends of the season, fall 2010, is coming right at us now and flicking through magazines and hairdressers journals I find the inspiration to deliver new stuff at work and this is what keeps me going. I have tried many different professions although hairdressing was my original choice, I suppose I just thought there were something more fun, something better out there, but there wasn't

Having a job that allows me to be creative every day, a job that requires me to buy the latest Vogue and Australian Russh, that needs me to attend hair shows for every new season coming is just what I want.
It is so much FUN!

Organic skin care

Organic skin care is the only skin care I allow in my bathroom but there is a huge problem...
Finding great products that not only do the works but also have fabulous packaging that suits my bathroom.

I do not understand why most of the organic skin care labels have to make their stuff look like it's camouflaged in brown and green and beige to easily blend in to the trees out on the street.

But, a little challenge not only does a girl good as in keeping he busy but it also made me find some spectacular new brands.

Online shopping

I'm just gonna go to pick up my shopping bag at the post office. I do love browsing shops and the whole experience that comes with it, but online shopping has it's charm too. I can get all the stuff I want no matter where it is sold or made. Although I do tend to spend a bit more money when shopping on the computer it is so worht it.

Well, off to the post office I am to pick up some new make up, brushes and organic skin care products. Very exciting!

Smokey Eyes

Create those sexy smokey eyes with organic make up and this easy guide following pictures. The guide is from Tahti Syrjalas blog. When I do this I use Lotus Pure Organics eye shadow palette in mesmerize and their black organic mascara.

Lotus Eye Shadow/Eye Liner Palette


You will need a set of different sized eye shadow brushes and an eye liner pencil. I use the black eye shadow in the palette as eyeliner simply dipping the eyeliner brush i a small pot of water before dipping in the black eye shadow.
