Back to the Cosmos

Today was officially the last day of my annual leave. I spent it by waking up late, accompanying Papa at the shop, and paying a visit to my favourite shopping centre.

Hubby, my brother Paolo, and I had some Churros - which I missed terribly!

Then Paolo and Mama walked around the shopping centre, while Hubby and I did the same. Hubby and I ended up browsing at Borders. While we were there I went to the magazine section. It was a hobby of mine in the past, to purchase the Cosmopolitan magazine (and other monthly magazines) every month. For some reason, I stopped purchasing them. Hmmm, I guess the reason could be due to the Internet. :)

And with that, I decided today that I would go back to reading Cosmo each month - I purchased the May 2010 issue today.

Happy reading to me! :D

L Plate Curler

Here we go, my first full attempt at curling my hair with the purple GHD IV styler.

It is so NOT easy.

Being a beginner curler is so difficult - I'm slow, and I have thick hair. Perfect combination. My head was getting hot and my arms were getting sore from curling. Haha. Oh well, I'll get the hang of it one day. :)

Hair Repair Hope

Went to Coles with Mama and Papa after work. I went by the personal care section and came across numerous brands of hair treatments, briefly thought about my drying hair, then decided to purchase new shampoo, conditioner, and leave in conditioner - with the hope of rescuing my hair. I never thought choosing those three could be so difficult. Schwarzkopf stood out so I thought I should give it a go. But gee, there were like five different varieties of Schwarzkopf products for different kinds of hair. I probably spent 15 minutes trying to work out which one fits my hair's current condition.

So there they are, I went for the Hair Repair range, Protection Against External Influences for Dry and Stressed Hair (with wild rose). I hope it's not too late to save my hair!

Hair Products

I went to Safeway (known as Woolworths outside Victoria) today and bought a can of hairspray and some sectioning clips to help me with my "curling classes". Hehe.

I gave my purple GHD IV styler a test run last night but only for a little while. Maybe I'll try to do all my hair tonight. :p

My New Baby

I have a new baby! It's my purple GHD IV Styler and gift set - I LOVE IT! My hubby gave it to me as a Christmas treat. I can't wait to try it out.

Yipee! Thanks babe! :)

Purple is sacred, bewitching and so on trend. Purples hit the runways for the international Autumn/Winter 08 collections at Michael Kors, Pucci, Comme des Garcons, Valentino and Martin Grant.

From soft lavender to deep violet and every hue in between, purple is the colour, use it to create a thousand different looks and bring your loyal subjects to their knees.

Features:

With the new rounder barrel it's even easier to create perfect curls, waves or flicks, as well as the perfect straight.

The new built-in sleep mode safety feature turns the heaters off if the styler is left unattended for 30 minutes.

With universal voltage you can get top performance from your stylers wherever you travel.

The unique digital technology gives improved temperature control for even better styling.

Hot Rollers vs Hot Sticks

I'll be attending quite a few occasions within the next few months, so I thought of getting a curling tool to help me do something with my hair (as I normally just have it dead straight). Now I'm stuck with the decision:

Hot Rollers?

or Hot Sticks?

I need ones that work with thick and long hair, just like mine.  Big curls would do me just fine. Please help me girls! :)
