Lipstick Powder N Paint

Ladies, be honest, how often do you clean your hairbrush? We bet not as often as you should.

On a daily basis, your brush collects dead skin cells, dirt, oils, dust – in addition to stray hairs. Pretty gross, right? And all of those lovely items are being transferred back onto your hair. But, do not fear, just give your brush a little tender loving care and it will be good to you and should last several years. (more…)

Does anyone know what my real hair colour is?

In fact, do I even remember what it is?!

I’ve been colouring my hair since the year dot. At first, it was out of sheer boredom and wanting to spice up my look. Now, it’s pretty much out of necessity; to cover those pesky grey hairs that scream out to everyone “hey, she’s gettin’ old folks!”

Every four to five weeks, like clockwork, I can be found sitting in a salon chair, reading the latest fashion mag and having blobs of colour applied oh-so-expertly to my roots and then ends. I’m there for quite some time. I have a nice cuppa tea. Chat a bit. And then fork over wads of cash.

Now don’t get me wrong, I love my salon, and the folks there are super nice and they do a great job. However, I’d love to spend that money on something else, but still on me! (more…)
