My Saturday - Outfit and mini-haul

My week has been so crazy I got all turned around and forgot that yesterday was Friday! My Saturday has been very eventful though.

I went to work for a couple hours and after hit up the mall next door. Ardene's had a sale on accessories and I went a little flower clip crazy! I love flower clips. They turn a simple bun or ponytail into a little something special. Here's my new collection. One of every colour!

Then we hit up the gym and I put on my Vancouver uniform of Lululemon.

I have on my MC College t-shirt
Lululemon Run: Inspire Crop II pants, they're made of compression material and have the best little pockets that fit my iPod perfectly
over top I have my Lululemon jacket that they don't make anymore, and I have no idea what it's called... oops. It's similar to the Define Jacket, but came before the thumbholes were in every single jacket. I think I got it when everything was still made in Canada, it's in rocking condition for being about 8 years old. I fit it much better now ;)
I have my puma Soliel shoes on, yeah not the best for the gym, but they'll have to do until I can get some good running shoes.

How did you spend your Saturday?

Products I'm Loving Right Now!

So this was going to be a video, but I can't seem to find batteries right now. So here's just a couple beauty products I'm loving right now!!

1. Schick Intuition Razor

This razor comes with a water soluble solid shaving cream (? I guess?). It wears down really fast, but it makes it super easy shave!! This has made it way easier to shave my legs, I hate doing it, and I cut myself A LOT. This razor has guards on the blades so if it slips, I don't cut myself.


2. Quo by ORLY - Strong Bond Base Coat

I've been looking for a base coat that works as well as ORLY Bonder, but easier to find. This is the best I've found so far. It's a sticky base coat, so it doesn't really dry. It holds the polish colour on really well, and helps prevent chipping. I had a manicure on for about 5 days before it chipped.

3. Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil Free Gel Cream

I have oily/combo skin and have a hard time finding a good moisturizer. This by far is the very best I've tried yet. It's a gel cream (hence the name), and it absorbs very quickly, without leaving any sort of oily residue. I can apply my foundation on right after, no problems.

No Heat Crimped Hair

Here's a wet set I tried out over the weekend. I started with towel dry/damp hair. I added my conditioners, AG Fast Food and Argon Oil

I then separated my hair similar to the way I flat iron it. 4 sections horizontally, and 3-4 sections vertically. I added Beyond The Zone Pomade to each section, and braided tightly. Securing with tiny bands.

I felt like snoop dog or something. Ha!

Then I put a silky scarf over my head and went to bed. When I woke up and finger combed my hair I got this!

For thinner hair, you can use a thickening mouse, and less braids. I made sure the braids got as close to my head as possible to avoid any awkward kinks or straight roots.

Let me know if you try this out!

Nails of the day

My nails have gotten really long. It's not an easy task... So I threw on a quick French mani using purple and pink nail art polish.
