<div style="text-align: center;">
I've noticed when I get stressed, something like I am currently.. I focus on everything negative that pops into my lovely brain. So that led me to doing this tag, thinking of 50 things that makes me happy is just about the hardest thing I have done all day. As much as this post will give you guys a little bit of an insight into who I am, this will also really help me get out of the negative and anxious rut that I am in. Focusing on the positive things in life rather than the negative is something that I have to do more of so why not start now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. My family, they are a group of people who will love my unconditionally regardless of what I do in life, and nothing can change the support that gives me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. My friends, they are the family that I chose, and I cannot imagine how my life would be, or where I would be without them and their support. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Being a hairstylist, making people happy in turn makes me happy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Cooking</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So February flew by and before I knew it, we are now in the middle of March and I have not put up my February Favourites for you guys... but now were here, better late than never right. February was a very busy month between my two jobs and home life, to heres to March slowing down a little bit and having a little bit more time to set aside for you lovely people, because I feel bad neglecting my blog and everything around it. Anyways without anymore of my rambling lets get into my February Favourites</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Mac Cosmetics Matte Lipstick in Sin</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I absolutely love this lipstick colour, its a nice deep blue red. The fact it is cool toned works great with my skin tone, even though were coming into spring now I still really love dark bold lips, but I am sure once we actually get into spring I'll go back to liking nudes, and more mauvey types of colours. I think they only thing I dislike about this lipstick is the fact its very drying, most matte lipsticks are though so they kind of go hand in hand, but as long as you exfoliate your lips and use a lip balm before you apply it, you should be golden!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>NYX Matte Finish Setting Spray</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For only being about $10 this setting spray is pretty good, it keeps my makeup matte and helps with its lasting power. Whenever I am on a budget I always get this from my local drugstore because its cheaper than my Loreal Infalliable Setting Spray, and they are very similar this one is just cheaper which is always a plus for me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Moroccanoil Treatment Light</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cannot explain how much I love this product, I have been using it religiously for years, and then I took a break for a bit ( I'm still not sure why) and I recently started using it again and have fallen in love with it again. The smell is amazing. I use the light formula because my hair is so fine, but it absorbs instantly when my hair is wet and when I use this when my hair is dry it only takes a few minutes to absorb. I use this multiple times a day and it never ceases to work perfectly. A girl I work with always says, if I could bathe in Moroccanoil I probably would. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Redken Pillow Proof Blow-dry Express Primer</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my favourite product to start my haircare routine with, its a primer so its the first product that is used, and then everything else follows. This primer is fantastic because it makes your hair dry up to 30% faster and it has a heat protectant in it. Some of the benefits of this spray is heat protection up to 450 degrees, anti breakage and it cuts blow-dry time. This is a great first step in my haircare routine.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Jeffree Star Cosmetics Spearmint Lip Velour Lip Scrub</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One my friends gave this too me one day a while back and I wanted to finish up my Lush lip scrub before breaking out this one, and I have to say I absolutely love it. Its a little bit rougher than the Lush one but that is perfectly ok with me considering I live in Canada and its very dry here, so therefore I need to exfoliate my lips and moisturize them very well all the time. This scrub keeps my lips in check at all times! </div>

<b>Neutrogena Rapid Clear All in 1 Daily Scrub</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been using this scrub every morning for the past few months, and I have to say it has helped my acne quite a bit. I still do have quite a bit of acne on my forehead, and chin area but this has helped quite a bit. I love how it is a exfoliating face wash but it is gentle enough to use every day! </div>

<b>Clean and Clear Blackhead Cleaning Astringent </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This toner has been my holy grail toner for years now, I have tried other ones and they just don't seem to have the same affect on my skin as this one does. I think I will keep using this for years to come. I find it to be quite gentle on my skin and that is definitely a plus for me. </div>

<b>Garnier Ulta Lift Anti-Wrinkle Firming Eye Cream</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got this in a product box I used to order and decided to start using it because I'm trying to start using up all the products I've been holding on to. I quite like this eye cream, I don't know if its going to be a holy grail product for me but it does a really good job on moisturizing my under eyes and that is all good with me, especially because having moisturized under eyes makes my concealer crease less! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Dermalogica Dynamic Skin Recovery</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a fantastic facial moisturizer, I have been using it for the past month and its been amazing. It has a spf of 50 which is fantastic because UV rays can be very hard on your face. This is a anti-aging facial moisturizer with polypeptides that encourage collagen producing activities. I think this is going to become a holy grail product for me even though I have not been using it for very long I love it. </div>

<b>Blistex Lip Medex</b></div>

Every skincare routine also needs to have a fantastic lip balm and this Blistex lip balm is my favourite. I have them stashed all over my house and I am always using this during the day. Living in Canada we have a very dry climate so a standup lip balm is necessary and this one is fantastic for being just that! </div>

<b>Redken Hair Cleansing Cream</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my go to clarifying shampoo because it doesn't make my hair feel like straw after I use it. I can also use it with my extensions and it doesn't leave them super dry and matted like most clarifying shampoos do. This product is great to use once a week or every two weeks depending on how often you wash your hair! I will forever repurchase this shampoo. </div>

<b>Moroccan Oil Moisture Repair Conditioner</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my go to conditioner and I love it. It can be quite heavy if you have fine hair but its so moisturizing I look past that and continue to love it. The smell of Moroccan Oil is the best as well! This conditioner is sulphate and paraben free as well so it is also ok to use on my extensions and makes them feel as soft as they were when I first got them six months ago! </div>

<b>Moroccan Oil Smoothing Conditioner</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've got to be honest, this conditioner was WAY too heavy for my hair, and it felt like it left a coating on my extensions, so I probably won't repurchase this. I think that if you have super coarse and unruly hair this would be a perfect conditioner for you, but for me it was just too heavy, on the bright side it does still have the amazing Moroccan Oil smell! </div>

<b>Redken Pillow Proof Dry Shampoo</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is hands down my favourite dry shampoo, it doesn't leave a white cast on my hair and lasts for a few days. Having a good dry shampoo is key when you only wash your hair every week or week and a half and this stuff gets me through! If you don't have a holy grail dry shampoo, I really suggest you try this out!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Moroccan Oil Moisture Repair Shampoo</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just like the Moroccan Oil Moisture Repair Conditioner, this is my go to shampoo that goes with it. This shampoo doesn't have sulphates or parabens in it, so it doesn't lather like a shampoo that does have them would, I find shampooing twice creates the same lather and it feels like a normal shampoo. I will always continue to repurchase this because of the amazing scent and the fact it cleans my hair like no bodies business. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a fantastic setting spray, it is very comparable to the Urban Decay setting sprays but $18 instead of $38, so the difference in price is a great selling point for me! I don't have any complaints about it and honestly I like it more than they Urban Decay setting sprays, if you are looking for a dupe, I urge you to check this guy out!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am in love with this concealer, I have already repurchased it and I got as much out of this package as humanly possible which is a lot harder than expected. It is light enough for my pale self, and blends out like a dream! I use this on my under eyes and in any blemished areas on my face, before and after my foundation. </div>

Honestly, I bought this in a pinch because I slept with my contacts in after a night out and my eyes were just killing me, it works pretty well, just like any other contact solution. I don't know if I would repurchase this exact solution again, I usually just go for whichever one is on sale.</div>

I honestly hated this concealer, I don't know if it was the product itself or I was applying it wrong but I could not blend this out for the life of me, compared to Glamoflauge (which I love) this was a large disappointment for me and I will not be buying this again. </div>

So after the weirdest post title, lets talk about the best nail treatment I have found...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Healthy Hoof, this is an intensive protein treatment for your nails, that was originally used in the horse world and has now been brought into the world of aesthetics </div>

So long story short, I have stopped getting gel nails, so my nails are absolute garbage right now.. I came across Healthy Hoof a few years ago, actually the last time I decided to stop getting my nails done and forgot about it until now, but let me tell you for anyone who has super weak nails this stuff is amazing. Its a cream that you apply to your nail and cuticle area and because it is a protein treatment it strengthens your nails and moisturizes your cuticles as well - its basically like a hair mask for your nails. This product has a very light lavender scent and absorbs almost instantly, the only thing I would warn you about is not to use it before you paint your nails because the nail polish will not adhere properly, because of the lotion consistency of this nail treatment. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All in all Healthy Hoof gets a good 10/10 in my books for being a standup nail treatment and my new/old holy grail product. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I recently started reaching for this highlighter again this past week, and I have fallen in love all over again.. Seriously I put it on and all that I can think is YAAAAASSSS. It is the perfect cheek bone highlight, and a lot of days I will also use it as a brow bone, and inner corner highlight. It is more of a bronzey peach tone and quite shimmery, but I find you really cannot use too much of it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you haven't tried this before I strongly urge you to go to MAC and pick it up... And if its sitting collecting dust, think about picking it up again like I did</div>

I have always loved going to British Columbia to see my dads side of the family, I never realized how much I wanted to be out there with them until I left this morning. As I am sitting on my flight back to Alberta, I am overcome with feelings of the fact, Im not going home, I am going to where I live but thats far from home. Everyone says ‘home is where the heart is’ and my heart is not in Alberta… but these in flight pretzels almost make the trip back bearable. I don’t think at this point in my life, i have wanted to be anywhere more, and I don’t know what to do. How do you get up and move provinces? How do you leave your friends and family in one, to move to another? </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
There is so many things I need to think about. I’m 21, am I ready to leave my home, and create a new one? Who knows. Is this something I need to do for myself.. Probably. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
The only thing I have that is really keeping me in Alberta, would be my moms side of the family, and my dad (also the girl sitting next to me, really likes to creep on everything I write) Maybe I have grown enough at home and I am ready to move on, but well really never know until I try.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Considering, I have never really done a life update for you guys, I thought as I'm sitting in the airport waiting to board my flight, it would be the best time. I've decided that 2016 is going to be a year with a lot of self discovery, and change. I want to work more on myself, and the scariest part in all of that, is that my life is going to be different and a lot of things are not going to fit in it anymore. Its going to be a year of new relationships and leaving people behind who I feel weigh me down. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been in my current house for almost a year, and I am finally fully going to unpack, and actually set things up like I have envisioned for the past 10 months. Its going to be so nice to get rid of clutter, and junk I've been holding onto probably since I moved out of my parents house two years ago. I have started doing yoga, every morning and it has made a huge difference in how I feel, as well as my anxiety has gotten a ton better. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have always struggled with depression and anxiety, so all these little changes I have been making, have begun to help quite a bit. I haven't been on my "crazy pills" for a couple months now, which has been amazing and I no longer feel like a zombie... the clarity that has come from not being drugged every day for lack of a better word has been fantastic. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have always had a hard time with letting go, whether it be feelings, material items, ideas, or beliefs. In life, I feel that we should all be able to let go of things that weigh us down, and are not positive. I need to start unplugging from technology every little while, because the things you end up finding out about yourself when you're not constantly plugged in to the social media circle. As much as I love constantly checking facebook, and instagram ect ect, not going on them for a day or two can really give you a new perspective, especially when you're not constantly posting things, to see how many likes you get. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Regardless of all of this, I'm so happy to be focussing on my blog this year, I love keeping contact with you guys and letting you know my opinions on products, and things I love about hair and makeup.. I am also going to be adding more "lifestyle" posts this year, whether it be things I'm loving, recipes or anything random. </div>

So the first month of 2016 has flown by to say the least, and before I knew it, it was time for a favourites post for all you lovely humans - so here we are. I decided against doing a 2015 favourite products because honestly there was so many products I tried and fell in love with, you guys would be reading for months, or at least until 2017. For my favourites posts this year, I am going to be picking 5 products that I have loved the most for that month, so the posts are relatively short and sweet, but I am going to be bringing back my product of the week posts as well, so there will be lots of content in these up coming months. Anyways, these are the products I have been loving for the month of January. </div>

<b>Neutrogena Rapid Clear Daily Scrub</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of my favourite Youtubers <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/ThaTaylaa" target="_blank">Thataylaa</a>, has always raved about the Neutrogena Rapid Clear line, and for the past few months my face has been having a moment of weakness and breaking out everywhere... So it was time to bring out the big guns, and I have to say this scrub is amazing. I have been using it in the mornings and I honestly think that it has been helping my skin out a lot. My breakouts have subsided, and my skin is starting to look a lot better. I think this product is going to become one of my holy grails. </div>

<b>The Body Shop Tea Tree Face Mask</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So there is another one from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/ThaTaylaa" target="_blank">Thataylaa</a>, I have had this mask for a while now but I recently started using it again... I can never seem to find the time to do face masks, I'm not sure why but it always seems like so much effort (who agrees?) Anyways, I am reintegrating face masks into my skincare because man do they ever make a difference. This mask starts to clear up my acne while its on, and the cooling affect of the tea tree makes my skin feel fantastic. I have been using this twice a week and its made a hell of a difference in my skin, even though doing masks is a pain in the ass, I am forcing myself to because the results outweigh the effort. </div>

<b>Nivea Men After Shave Balm - Sensitive</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I heard <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/NikkieTutorials/featured" target="_blank">NikkieTutorials</a> raving about using this after shave balm as a primer, so I had to buy it. I cannot even put into words how fucking fantastic of a primer this product is. It has glycerin in it and everything sticks to glycerin, so your makeup does not budge all day. I have super oily skin as we all know and this product keeps my makeup looking flawless all day and into the night. Seriously everyone should just go out and buy this right meow.</div>

<b>Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation 091 Light Ivory</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seriously this foundation, I have fallen in love. I''m still not sure why anyone would need a 25 hour foundation but thats beside the point, this foundation does not come off. Every Saturday I have a 20 hour work day, I get ready at 8 am and do not get home again until between 3 and 4 am, the fact this foundation can make it through that whole day and still look decent by the time I finally get home means, its amazing. It can get a little oily if you don't set it and have oily skin but once its set this stuff doesn't go anywhere. </div>

<b>Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This product is a oldy but a goodie, I just recently started using this palette again, and I honestly don't know why I ever stopped. I love the rosey colours, the pigment is amazing and all the colours blend out beautifully. I have been using this pretty much every day for my simple work day to day makeup look and the nights when I work at the bar, its so easy to make a bold eye look, but still look classy with this palette. I just cant say enough good things about this eyeshadow palette. </div>

I have decided that I am going to be doing favourites posts every two months, with doing that they will be constant and I will be featuring products which are new to me and hopefully new to you as well.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaWTdIds8dlIjnJiC3LvXGx4WG4zUEgG8kY3jJ0smfz-m9xWptXCCN9SwynafrhewpIz9FmmrT36VtoUwU3tCnVRvK4EBCm_-pY7VO8iinz9TPYBBeS0bEWDrs36KeXNVfDZqOfcOXUvrr/s1600/IMG_0018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaWTdIds8dlIjnJiC3LvXGx4WG4zUEgG8kY3jJ0smfz-m9xWptXCCN9SwynafrhewpIz9FmmrT36VtoUwU3tCnVRvK4EBCm_-pY7VO8iinz9TPYBBeS0bEWDrs36KeXNVfDZqOfcOXUvrr/s320/IMG_0018.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Smashbox Iconic Photo Finish Primer - </b>I got a little sample size of this primer and from the few times I have used it I just love it. It is oil free so it doesn't make my skin more of a oil slick than it already is ( which is always a good thing) it also makes my foundation stay on so when I am wearing the same face for 14 hours I don't have to worry! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Macadamia Ultra Rich Moisture Oil Treatment - </b>I have been using this oil in my extensions because we all know extensions get dry and shitty in no time at all when your heat styling them every day or every second day.. so this has been my go to product for moisturizing them and it works like a charm. The only thing to be careful with is how much of it you use, because if you use even the tiniest bit too much your hair will be greasy and awful until you wash it again. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Vaseline Spray and Go Lotion - </b>I keep hearing amazing things about this sprayable lotion and I am not the one to want to, or who remembers to take the time to moisturize my body, so I decided to try this product and I must say it is a life savour. I got this in the coco butter scent and I am in love.. It takes me a minute or two to moisturize my whole body after I shower and who doesn't want that, any of my lovelies who are lazy like me need this product in their life. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Too Faced Hangover Rx Primer - </b>This primer is very quickly becoming one of my holy grail products. After nights where I go out or work at the bar I need this in the morning... Seriously this primer is like the gatorade of makeup. It helps to make it look like you are not running on 3 hours of sleep or less even if you are and who doesn't love that. Any night owl like me needs this in their life, especially if you work a night or a day job. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Kat Von D Tattoo Liner Trooper - </b>I finally strayed from my Physicians Formula Eye Booster Pen and decided to try out the Kat Van D Tattoo Liner and I am in love. I get such precise lines with this product and it does not come off until I wash my face. This is for sure a new holy grail product for me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Kat Von D Liquid Lipstick Lolita - </b>I am very unaware of why it took me so long to jump on the Lolita trend and I have no idea why ( probably because its so hard to come by) but I am in love with this liquid lipstick and rarely reach for any other colour right now. I am going to be very sad when this same size runs out if I cannot find another one in store by that point. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Let me know what products you guys have been loving this past month,</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Until next time, stay beautiful</div>

After almost two months of vacations and life happening I am back with more ideas and blog posts to share with you all.... So today were going to talk about a few products I am very passionate about using and those are dry shampoo and dry conditioner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pureology has created a Fresh Approach division of their haircare line, which consists of a dry shampoo and a dry conditioner that I am in love with, even though they do have quite a high price point- but they are totally worth it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCdoEkFH8HNvBhYZT5Bkjmaod24oLk2JbfTuv5eaOR11qCeCXxjD2ua7ciBS2EQ_xHbU3W0dY2sGupLIIGOUlVWYCVYKDUbcy9DHY0lUza1l39ZEhXS0hU1WLMQREi6TRiCR9CpKSXFdiz/s1600/IMG_0085.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCdoEkFH8HNvBhYZT5Bkjmaod24oLk2JbfTuv5eaOR11qCeCXxjD2ua7ciBS2EQ_xHbU3W0dY2sGupLIIGOUlVWYCVYKDUbcy9DHY0lUza1l39ZEhXS0hU1WLMQREi6TRiCR9CpKSXFdiz/s320/IMG_0085.JPG" width="147" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Dry Shampoo</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This product is very lightweight which is partially why I like it so much, I have very fine hair and because of that I find a lot of dry shampoos are too heavy, or leave too much residue on my hair (I'm pointing at you Sexy Hair Volumizing Dry Shampoo) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
According to <a href="http://www.pureology.com/systems/fresh-approach-dry-shampoo-condition/dry-shampoo" target="_blank">Pureology</a> this dry shampoo is-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Free of sulphates, parabens and mineral oil </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- It contains pure minerals like Obsidian and Smithsonite to cleanse and refresh the hair</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Going to improve the longevity of your hair colour with a mixture of antioxidants and minerals that are part of the Pureology AntiFade Complex.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only thing I do not particularly like about this product is the scent, I find it very overwhelming to the point that I need the fan on in my bathroom when I use this because it is such a potent smell.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Dry Conditioner</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dry conditioner is a product not a lot of lines have brought in yet but it is completely worth it. I used to find that when I used dry shampoo my ends always felt dry and terrible but with using a dry conditioner my ends feel amazing everyday. This product also does not leave any residue on your hair as long as you brush it through. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
According to <a href="http://www.pureology.com/systems/fresh-approach-dry-shampoo-condition/dry-condition" target="_blank">Pureology</a> this dry conditioner is-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Free of parabens and mineral oil </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Contains orange oil to condition, nourish and add shine to the hair. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Contains pure minerals Obsidian and Smithsonite to refresh and cleanse the hair. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Contains Pureology's AntiFade Complex to extend the life of colour vibrancy by using a mixture of minerals and antioxidants.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The dry conditioner I find has the same scent problem of the dry shampoo with it being very overwhelming, but I continue to use both these products because I like them so much.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until next time my beauties</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

And this is up before the end of the month, so I must be taking this getting back into favourites posting somewhat seriously... But here we go, I don't have a bunch of products but I narrowed it down until the products I loved the most.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5cR38wjJPxFpqwZrwGRxRWoKontE9xJmA75DYyHpxRm4-1N6mY6QDYqgzSu3BdhsZFkciCLyygVeDUj3wY5EQg0Bie1JAdC6xu7dvbP_7egv1hf9sZPhVoa-tXrN5ySdWlXRWcLCWwAyR/s1600/IMG_0037.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5cR38wjJPxFpqwZrwGRxRWoKontE9xJmA75DYyHpxRm4-1N6mY6QDYqgzSu3BdhsZFkciCLyygVeDUj3wY5EQg0Bie1JAdC6xu7dvbP_7egv1hf9sZPhVoa-tXrN5ySdWlXRWcLCWwAyR/s320/IMG_0037.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b>Kardashian Beauty Black Seed Dry Oil- </b>We got the Kardashian Beauty haircare line in at work, so I decided I would try out their dry oil as I am a sucker for hair oils. I must say I love this product, it has made my extensions feel fantastic, it is a little to heavy for my natural hair but it makes my extensions look and feel amaze balls, and the smell of this is also to die for. Once I am done my handful of samples, I will be buying this in the regular size.<br />
<br />
<b>Maybelline Lash Sensational- </b>I have continually heard youtubers and bloggers rave about this mascara, so naturally I had to run out to Shoppers and purchase it. This mascara is fantastic, and I have been reaching for it everyday! I think this is going to become a holy grail mascara for me, and I have only had it for about two weeks so its gotta be pretty fantastic to make it into my monthly favourites.<br />
<br />
<b>Nars All Day Luminous Foundation- </b>This foundation I was very unsure about buying as I stated in my most recent Sephora haul which can be found <a href="http://beautybytink.blogspot.ca/2015/07/mini-sephora-haul-review.html" target="_blank">here</a> . I have been wearing this everyday and I have not stopped loving it. As long as I use a primer and set it with a powder this stays on all day and for me that makes this foundation worth it to me, even with the highend price tag.<br />
<br />
<b>Makeup Forever HD Mircofinish Powder - </b>I recently got this from one of my good friends who was cleaning out her makeup/ skincare collection before moving to Australia. I have heard many reviews about this powder and not having to spend the (39$ at Sephora) on it made me even more excited. I have been using this product everyday to set my Nars All Day Luminous Foundation, and it works beautifully. It makes my foundation completely matte, which is something I look for in setting powders and it controls my oil, so I only have to blot my face once or twice a day. I would recommend this to anyone with oily skin.<br />
<br />
<b>Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation- </b>I have had this foundation for probably the last 6 months, and I have always found it quite a hit or miss product, until I started applying it with a brush... I always found this got cakey on my face and didn't cover etc etc, but applying this without a beauty blender and using a brush instead makes all the difference. Now this foundation is one of my favourites, I don't use too much and get a cakey look, I can now apply this evenly to my face and my face looks flawless. As long as I set this with a powder my face doesn't get oily and the foundation actually lasts for 12 hours, so over all now that I have figured out how to use this product it is amazing.<br />
<br />
<b>Moroccan Oil Hydrating Conditioner - </b>I have my extensions out now and I decided to go back to my old holy grail Moroccan Oil conditioner, I forgot how much I loved this conditioner. It is light enough that my super fine hair doesn't get weighed down, but it has enough hydration that it makes my hair feel amazing even though it is super damaged. This conditioner is amazing for fine hair to give it hydration without being super heavy, the smell is also amazing and thats why I keep going back to Moroccan Oil products.<br />
<br />
<b>Moroccan Oil Light Oil Treatment - </b>Again with my extensions out, I have to revert back to using lighter products, so here we are with my holy grail Moroccan Oil Light Oil Treatment, I use this in wet and dry hair and it gives wonderful hydration and shine to my hair when its wet, and when its dry it helps with shine and static. The scent of this is just as amazing as every other Moroccan Oil product and this haircare line will always be a strong part of my hair care routine.<br />
<br />
<b>Carmex -</b> This is my holygrail lip balm and I forgot how much I loved it until I ran out and my Shoppers was also out of stock for two weeks. I am very happy this product comes in 3 different packages, the original tub, and tube and the stick which I just found out about. Now the perfect lip balm comes in different packaging for everyones needs!<br />
<br />
I hope you guys enjoyed hearing about the products I have been loving this past month, and I would love to hear what you guys have been loving as well!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Well its that time of the month that Ipsy bags start arriving. I thought I would do a quick revealing of my July bag for you guys, even though I have not been as into Ipsy as of lately, well just not as excited about it as I used to be, but without further a-due here it is..</div>

<b>Eva-Nyc Freshen Up Dry Shampoo-</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I read some reviews about this product and from what I have read it seems like a good dry shampoo. Im excited to try this out because I usually only wash my hair once a week so it takes a good dry shampoo to make my hair look clean around days 4-6, so we shall see if this lives up to my holy grail Redken and Bastille dry shampoos. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<b>Tweezers by Crown Brush</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am forever losing the sets of tweezers I buy so when I saw these in my Ipsy bag I was super excited.. From looking at them they seem like good tweezers but only time will tell if they can pull out my coarse eyebrow hairs.</div>

<b>Aurora Gel Effect Nail Polish 4 Alarm Fire</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have this polish on my nails currently and I am beyond happy with it. The polish drys so fast, and the consistency is perfect; its not to thick or thin, as well as the brush makes it super easy to apply. When I find out where to find Aurora polish I will be buying so much more of it. This is my new favourite polish brand. </div>

<b>Jelly Pong Pong Cosmetics 2in1 Shadow/Liner</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From swatching this liner/shadow on my hand it seems like a bronze shade and for a liner you do get a pretty precise line and its also quite easy to blend out to make this product a shadow. I am excited to try this out and see what I can do with it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Pur-lisse Pur-Bright Ultra Skin Brightening Serum</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have tried other Pur-lisse products that I have received from Ipsy and quite enjoyed them, so I am excited about what this brightening serum will bring to the table. The consistency of it is quite light and smooth so I think it will be a easy product to add into my skincare routine. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So another drugstore haul happened... Again. Im now going on a spending ban, until the end of August, I have so many products I need to use up at this point. So here are my first impressions of these products, Ive been using them for about a week now. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Maybelline Lash Sensational - </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I keep hearing about this mascara on youtube, and different blogs; so naturally I had to try it out. This mascara is amazeballs. I usually stick to my Too Faced Better Than Sex, but I am starting to reach for this one more and it has a better price tag so thats a plus as well. I find it doesn't clump and it separates my lashes very well. I would recommend this to anyone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Carmex -</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is my holy grail lip balm, I cannot go a day without using it and I find nothing else works as well.. Not even blistex. This lip balm just goes above and beyond all my expectations.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Pads - </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since using these face pads (that sounds so weird to say) my face has felt brighter, more refreshed and more moisturized. I have only been using them for a week and I have no complaints. The Nip + Fab skincare line just keeps amazing me time and time again. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Batiste Dry Shampoo - </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is one of my favourite drug store dry shampoos, while the original one is. I tried the XXL Volume one and I did not care for it - I found it made my hair way too gritty and hard to brush through. The original one is by far my favourite out of all of them and it actually works!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Kloraine Oily Hair Dry Shampoo - </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got this in a Ipsy bag a few months back and really liked it, so because it was on sale I thought it would try it again. I am just as impressed with this product as I was the first time I tried it but I'm not sure it goes above the Batiste or Redken dry shampoo on my list of favourites. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Clean and Clear Night Relaxing Cleansing Wipes - </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As we all know I have an addiction to makeup wipes, I am always scared I will run out. I have used these before and liked them a lot, they were on sale so I thought I would purchase them again as I just ran out of my OleHenricksen ones. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you guys have any other products you think I should try please let me know!</div>

I was skeptical about the Nip+Fab line because the reviews are overall quite good, but it is quite inexpensive so I wanted to see if a few products did live up to the hype and they have!</div>

<b>Nip+Fab Cellulite Fix</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As weird as it sounds at 20 I shouldn't be worried about cellulite... but here we are. Cellulite is that elephant in the room that no one likes to talk about, and yet again here we are. I have been using this for about two weeks and I have noticed a difference in how my legs look. I wouldn't say is 'erases' cellulite but I have noticed my skin looking firmer and that is a step in the right direction. I find that this product doesn't absorb as well as it claims to because it stays quick tacky and sticky on the skin for about 10 minutes after applying it, this is a big thing for me because I like to use it before bed but I almost need to plan when I will apply this because of the absorbing factor, or lack there of. Overall this is a great product for skin firming, it isn't a magic eraser to make your skin look flawless but its a step in the right direction. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Nip+Fab Viper Venom Night Fix</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This night moisturizer is a beauty. I have used many night creams claiming this, that or the next thing; this one does the this, that and the next things. I have noticed my face looking brighter and more refreshed when I wake up. I used to have serious dark circles under my eyes and the skin under my eyes isn't exactly the tightest, since I began using this my skin has become tighter and I am not as self conscious about my under eyes. Plus waking up more refreshed looking in the morning is something everyone wants. Using night moisturizers has always been hit or miss for me because of my oily skin, this product absorbs so quickly and does not leave a residue, therefore it does not affect the condition of my oily skin for better or worse and that I am ok with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So this happened... Granted it has been a while since I've done much shopping damage so I think it was well deserved. And yes I added in a Maybelline product to my Sephora haul but I had it sitting there unopened so why not! I have been using these products for about a week now, so I am also going to give you guys a mini review, because I do have some thoughts on them thus far.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>OleHenrikson Oil-free Pore Refining Cleansing Cloths - </b>I was recommended these because I have crazy oily skin and I have to say I think they are helping... I usually wash my face at night and then just use a wipe in the morning to get any oil or dirt that my face produced over night dealt with, I have noticed a difference in my oil production over the past week, so they must be working. You can buy them <a href="http://www.sephora.com/grease-relief-cleansing-cloths-oil-free-pore-refining-P385343?skuId=1597160" target="_blank">here</a> and they retail for 10-20 $ depending on the size you get.. You can either get 10 or 30 wipes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>OleHenriksen Makeup Removing Cleansing Cloths - </b>Just to stay on the OleHenriksen train ( hey that rhymed) I got these makeup removing wipes, I always either use a cleansing oil like the one from MAC which you can see <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.ca/product/13826/4478/Products/Skincare/Removers/Cleanse-Off-Oil-Tranquil" target="_blank">here</a> or I use makeup wipes.. My reason for using the two different options really depends on how much makeup I am wearing, if I am wearing a full face of makeup, lashes and all I will use the oil because it gets everything off, if I have a more natural look going that day I will use wipes. I love the scent of these wipes, I can't even put my finger on what it is ( mostly because I am terrible at describing scents) but it is a great one. These basically take off all my makeup, i have noticed there is still a little bit left but thats what washing your face is for. These retail for 10- 19$ depending on the size of the package and you can buy them <a href="http://www.sephora.com/nurture-me-tm-cleansing-cloths-makeup-removing-P385344?skuId=1597178&icid2=product_complete%20your%20skincare%20routine_p385344_image" target="_blank">here</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation - </b>I have heard so many hit or miss reviews on this foundation (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-lyg6TaGo8" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRQK_RqcXqo" target="_blank">here</a>) so I'm going to get straight to the point because this foundation seems to work great for some people and terrible for others. I am in love with this foundation, its the first one that has not melted off my face in months, I don't necessarily agree with Nars' claim for 16 hour wear but it does last through a full 8-9 hour work day for me so thats a plus! It retails for 59$ and you can buy it <a href="http://www.sephora.com/all-day-luminous-weightless-foundation-P393658?skuId=1677962" target="_blank">here</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Sephora Retractable Lip Brush #60 - </b>Lets just start off my saying I had never used or thought about using a brush to apply my lip products... This new found freedom I have with applying any lip stain or gloss has changed my life! If anyone is hesitant on trying out a brush for this reason, I would just bite the bullet and purchase one because it changes your lip colour game for the better. The one I purchased from Sephora retailed for 12.50$ and can be bought <a href="http://www.sephora.com/retractable-lip-brush-60-P262038?skuId=1227537" target="_blank">here</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser - </b>I have seen many different reviews comparing Maybelline Baby Skin to Benefit Porefessional. I am a big fan of the Benefit product but not of the price tag, and hey if I can pay 8$ for something instead of 39$ I would be all over that. So far I do find them very similar, this one is a little more greasy than the Benefit product but aside form that I really don't see much of a difference. After I apply the Maybelline Baby Skin I just use a blotting paper to absorb the excess product and then I apply my foundation and it seems to work like charm. This product can be purchased from any Shoppers Drug Mart, or Ulta. </div>

From red to platinum blonde, to violet, back to red and now fuschia. In order to keep up with these hair colour changes, I need a good hair routine. Oh did I mention on top being a handful of different hair colours in the last 18 months... I also have a weave. Yes, my hair is high maintainence, these are the products that work for my hair, they may not necessarily work the same for you as they do for me, but I hope if you decide to try out any of these products that you love them as much as I do!<br />

<b>Devacurl Deva Care No Poo - </b>When I first started using this product, I didn't believe it would actually clean my hair, I mean how does a product that does not lather get the hair clean, I was pleasantly surprised. Since using this my hair has become much healthier, and shinier, my extensions have also become more manageable.. because this doesn't lather my colour lasts longer and the braids for my weave don't get loose from scrubbing my hair to create a shampoo lather. I will never go back to traditional shampoo at this point. </div>
<div>
<b>Moroccan Oil Moisture Repair Conditioner - </b>Moroccan Oil products are a staple in my haircare. This conditioner helps to repair the damage I have caused my hair and the only conditioner I will use now. Its very moisturizing and my hair needs the extra moisture and repair in its life. <br />

<b>AG Keratin Repair Reconstructing Mask - </b>This mask smells amazing, kind of like cream cheese icing. It works wonders on my hair making it feel fantastic. I use this every second time I wash my hair because I only wash my hair once a week, so I do this every two weeks. I would use it once a week if I washed my hair more often but it is not needed every time I wash my hair. Anyone with damaged hair should try this product out!<br />

<b>Moroccan Oil Treatment - </b>I use this in my hair when it is wet and dry, this oil moisturizes my hair, helps with the frizz that my extensions can get and gives my hair some extra shine.<br />
<b>Joico Ironclad - </b>I love this thermal protectant for my flat iron and curling iron, I like this because it is a aerosol and not a spritz pump. I find it drys super quick and you cannot feel it in the hair after it has been used. Thermal sprays are a must when heat styling.<br />
<b>Redken Pillow Proof Two Day Extender - </b>This is my go to dry shampoo, it absorbs all the oil in my hair and makes it look freshly washed even when my hair hasn't been washed in a week, and that in my books makes this a holy grail product for me!<br />

Flying Fox Shower Gel- The smell of this product is to die for! It has scents of jasmine, ylang ylang and palmarosa oils to give it a nice clean, flowery scent. It also has honey in it to moisturize your skin. I can't go a day without using this and I am sure my skin has become more moisturized since I began to use it... I also use this in the bath as a bubble bath because the scents are very calming! </div>

Imperialis Facial Moisturizer - this moisturizer is amazing, it's made for combination and picky skin and man does it work. It has lavender infusions to balance the skins oil production, basically this means that dry areas will start to produce more oil so they are not as dry, and oily areas of the face will begin to produce less oil (hello combination skin friends doesn't this sound amazing?) the orange blossom water in the lotion helps to brighten up dull or drab looking areas, and the tiger lily extract helps to tighten pores and reduce blemishes. This is the first moisturizer I have used that actually does what it claims to and anyone with crazy cranky skin like I have should try it! </div>

Tea Tree Water Toner- this is amazing for oily skin, since I have started using this toner my skin has done a 100% turn around, it is still oily but much less than it was to begin with. Tea tree, juniper berry and grapefruit water are in this formula which helps to balance skin tone, and keep skin looking refreshed. The tea tree reduces redness and clears excess oil. There is no alcohol in this toner, which is great because alcohol is very drying and makes the skin produce more oil. Again my oily skin girls you should try this stuff out! </div>

Mint Julips Lip Scrub - this is a mint chocolate scented and flavoured lip scrub, living in Canada my skin gets super dry, lips included, this has saved my life. The lip scrub gives a light exfoliation so you have a smooth lip canvas for lipstick or just in general. I love the mint one mostly because of the taste but I have also tried other scents and they are all amazing as well. </div>

After camping for a few days, I needed a good face mask to get all the dirt out of my pores... Hanging out in front of a campfire, going into the forest to get wood for a fire and all that jazz is the breeding ground for a breakout, so here we are with the Origins Clear Improvment Charcoal Mask. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Origins says that this mask uses 'active charcoal' and 'white China clay' to get toxins out of the skin. The Charcoal is said to draw out dirt that is deep in the pores and the white China clay is supposed to absorb environmental toxins.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This mask does everything it is supposed too. I use this every time my skin needs a deep cleaning and it has cleared up my breakouts and cystic acne. I have been home from camping for about 24 hours now and my skin is as perfect as when I left, so this face mask has a complete thumbs up in my books. Anyone who has acne, cystic acne, oily skin, or skin that just needs a deep clean should try this mask out. It retails at sephora for 17$ for 1.7oz and 25$ for 3.4oz. I used the trial/travel size to try out the product and then went back and bought the larger size because I fell in love with it. </div>

I have recently started tanning again... Mostly because it is now summer here in Calgary - or as close to summer as we get and I needed some colour. This meant I needed a new lotion, so here we are with the Electric Haze Lotion by Hippie.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I have to admit I was skeptical when trying this out because anytime I have used a tanning lotion with a bronzer in it, I have turned orange (no one likes a oompaloompa) the employee at my tanning salon assured me that this lotion would not do that and he was right! The lotion states on the bottle that it has anti aging and skin firming properties, I'm not sure if I have noticed my skin being firmer in the past few weeks, so I am not fully sure if it is firming or not. What I find is really great about this product is the fact it keeps you tanning for 4 hours after you leave the bed, that's a real plus for me because my skin doesn't tan quickly, so the extra time that the lotion keeps working is a plus for me. This doesn't have a strong tanning lotion smell which is nice, but it does still smell a little like you have just been in the tanning bed. Overall I do like this lotion even though it is a little pricey, but for people like me who want to get real dark real fast it works like a charm. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The lotion retails for about 100$ at Fabutan where I purchased it, so it is a little more pricey but I find it totally worth the price! </div>

Being a hairstylist, I need good quality hand cremes on deck at all times. I got this for Christmas one year in my stocking and have finally decided to break it open and use it, I must say L'Occitane has outdone themselves with this lotion. It's so moisturizing and absorbs very quickly without leaving your hands feeling greasy or anything like that. The lavender scent is also very soothing for my hands as they are dry and cracked from being in water all day. I would recommend this hand creme to anyone; especially people who do have dry skin, or work in professions which are hard on the hands like I do. This product retails for 12$ on the L'Occitane website for a 30ml tube. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Hello lovely ladies, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I have been experiencing the worlds worst writers block these past few weeks.. I have been moving and more stressed out than ever. I hope that now being in my new house and somewhat settled my writers block will subside a little bit, I really hope so. It's hard running a blog which is based on creativity when you have none - but I have not forgotten about you guys. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Anyways the post I am going to do today is about a few little things I have learnt to appreciate more in life over these past few weeks, so here we go </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
1. The fact that spring is here in Canada and I can leave my house without freezing </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
2. My new roommate and the support I get from him. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
3. The ladies I work with, I have one of the best groups of girls and they make everyday a little easier especially with the rut I have been in these past few weeks </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
4. Having food in our house </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
5. Going for a walk and for lack of a better sentence, smelling the flowers </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
6. My family, blood related and loyalty related</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
7. Being in a career I love and wanting to go to work everyday. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
8. Music, we have artists all over the world who work their asses off to give us the music we listen to everyday </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
9. Having a roof over my head and a bed on my floor </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
10. My mom </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
11. Learning from my past mistakes </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
12. Books, reading is a way to escape and bring yourself to a different reality for a few hours</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
13.waking up every morning in good health </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
14. Nature </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
15. My bad days because they make my good days seem that much better </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
16. Smiles, smiling at someone you walk past can brighten their day, because you don't know what has happened to them before you met eyes and smiled at them. That one smile may change the outlook of their day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
17. Good memories because they outweigh the bad ones and give you a reason to smile. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
18. A good nights sleep </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
19. My boyfriend, he keeps me on track and makes sure I've eaten and slept each day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
20. For being here today to write this post. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Let me know what you ladies are thankful for each day. </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A product I am just loving right now is the Revlon Nutri Colour Creme in the colour 500(purple red) ... Excuse the bottle, it likes to leak on itself :( </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<br /></div>
<div>
This product is basically a colour boosting conditioner that you use once a week. I use it every time I wash my hair, because I only wash it once a week and I really don't like when my red hair starts to fade. This conditioner keeps my colour so vibrant and I have yet to find another product that works this well. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To use this conditioner you shampoo and then apply the product, comb it through your hair and leave it on for 3 minutes when you want to refresh your colour quickly. If you find your colour needs a little added refreshment you can leave this on for longer but I find the 3 minutes works beautifully. Because the colour 500 is a purple red, it does stain skin (gotta love red right?) so try to keep it off your scalp if you can, but I am fully aware that's easier said than done. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Revlon Nutri Colour Creme line comes in a variety of colours, most of the products the line carries cater to colours that are harder to keep vibrant in the hair, like fashion colours, reds, browns, and pastels. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This product retails for 33$ at Chatters in Canada but the price would vary dependant on where you purchase it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I think that anyone who has a hard to maintain hair colour should try the Revlon Nutri Colour Creme. It completely changes your hair game! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope you ladies are having a good week, </div>
