What's in my Oil Bottle plus 1
**The spray bottle has lavender and calendula flower hair tea in it. GREAT for spritzing and refreshing strands**
Any who, I finally made a decision and a went with the large 8 oz bottle with the red little snap thingy to keep the contents from spilling. I also picked up Olive Oil's Smooth-n-Pudding. *Tisk Tisk* on me, I shouldn't have bought this product but you can blame my friend Ava for luring me in. It was only $6.99 if that makes my pure PJ purchase any better. It doesn't, I know. BUT I was super excited to use the product when I got home and filling my applicator bottle with some yummy oils, was the highlight of my evening.
What's in my Mix
2 oz of EVOO - Rich in biotin, niacin, vitamins A and E
1/2 oz argan oil- High in omega 3 and 9, unsaturated fatty acids
1 oz of castor oil- Cleans and rids scalp of impurities
2 oz of sweet almond oil- has the ability to soften the skin on the scalp and reduce
inflammation
**All items can be purchased on Ebay or at your local WholeFoods**
After filling my bottle I applied the oil to my scalp and gave myself a little massage to stimulate blood flow. Once all of that was said and done I twisted my bang area with the new Olive Oil product. I really wanted to put my mini twists back in but I didn't have time.
I was surprised at how much I liked this product on the first try. The packaging says it's a "gel" but I get more of a creamy custard feel. The consistency is great and the scent was pleasant, it also provided decent slip while combing which is a huge plus!
I am anxious to see what my twist out will look like tomorrow. I flat twisted the right side up and over because I want my style to lay to the left. Hopefully it comes out well, stay tuned for pictures!

Gelish Nails
Before I left or Guam a couple weeks ago, my mom and I got our nails done and the nail techs showed us this Gelish Polish and I really wanted to try it! My sister tried it before and she really liked it so I thought I'd give it a shot. Normally, if I do get my nails done - which is once every few months! - I get simple french tips with the gel beds. The Gelish polish is a relatively new kind of polish from Hand Nail and Harmony. It's basically a heavy duty nail polish that's cured under the UV lamps to harden. The nail tech told me it would last me 2 - 3 weeks and to take it off I just had to soak my nails in nail polish remover. They come in a various amount of shades - you can see the complete description/application/removal on the Hand Nail & Harmony website here
a few of the colors
I'm actually really pleased with these and I think I'll definitely get them again if I could. I like getting french tips + gel done on my fingernails because they last a really long time and these definitely last a while, too. It lasted 2 - 3 weeks for me, as expected. Towards the end of the second week my nail beds were showing really bad - even the hubby noticed! - but my nails do grow pretty fast. It took me around 15 minutes to get them off, but I'd already peeled off a few of my nails already. I'm pretty impatient with the soaking but once you soak them for a while in nail polish remover, they're pretty easy to pick off. My nails were a little weaker, but they were a lot stronger compared to the regular gel nails I get done. The thing I LOVED the most about it was there was absolutely NO CHIPPING and I didn't break a single finger nail! I wash/clean all the time (where most of the chipping happens) and I didn't have any problems at all. I believe it cost around $30 to get these done, which is kind of pricey, but getting your nails done by pros usually costs you. Hopefully I can find a salon that does these in AZ because I'll definitely be doing them again!
my nails after about 1.5 weeks. I think this color is called June Bride

Patronising update
Yes yes I know I haven't blogged in a zillion years. Been busy these few days filming a mini web series and now I've fallen sick. *cough cough*
I think it's just the usual flu. Hopefully I'd get better in a few days. :(
Anyway I'm also working really hard on my new blogskin!! I know right, so sick of this old one!!
Couple of days ago the best BFF in the world (Shuyin that is) and the best mom in the world (my mom, in case that also needed clarification) went with me to get the banner header pictures taken.
A lot of work went into it and I must say I super love the results!! The pictures turn out SO GORGEOUS!
Don't say I don't love you guys... Here's a preview:
I wanted a romantic dreamy Liz Lisa floral vibe and it's perfect!
The photographer is actually Shuyin and people kept being so surprised about it coz she is not a pro photographer or anything and she took quite good pictures just using the Auto mode. Aperture, ISO and shutter speed - you all can go suck on Shuyin's ass. HAHAHA
I'd be blogging more about the shoot whenever the blogskin comes up. And you just have to wait a bit to see the rest of the awesome pictures!!
In any case if you can't get enough of my antics I don't only update on this blog.
You can follow me on twitter HERE and Like me on facebook HERE. I yabber a lot on twitter and post all my POTM pictures on facebook too.
And if Tumblr is your poison I do have a Tumblr blog too (NEW!) where, also, I post the POTM pictures taken from my phone. :D
Toodles! Till next time guys!
p/s: Please pile praises on the photo.
