Update Post!!

Hello Everyone!!

I have severely neglected my blog lately, but I'm back!!


I thought I might start out with an update post:
For anyone that follows my YouTube Channel (also being currently pushed aside) I have legally changed my name. I do plan on doing either a blog post or video on this subject if anyone is interested in the process etc.

I also have a new job, Im still doing Beauty Therapy, just in a different salon (which is what has been keeping me busy). Although Im not working full time, I am working everyday except Tuesdays and Sundays, so Im using those days for resting, catching up on TV shows, cleaning, washing etc. So I haven't been upto filming or posting etc. However I am going to put myself back on track.
Since I live with my Mum, Sister and her two babies it can be a bit of a challenge to find 'quiet' time which is needed for filming and I havent had much luck brainstorming ideas for my blog. My sister will be moving out this weekend thus freeing me from babysitting duties.

I have changed my room, this is probably my most exciting news (for me anyway). I changed the arrangement of my room but i also changed all my white furniture to black. The white was starting to feel very cold and clinical. As funny as it sounds the black feels homely, welcoming, warm and I like it a lot better

Im hoping to be posting more regularly, however it might be from next week onwards. Either way, keep your eyes open

5 Tips for Healthy Hair!

Hello Ladies,

Im always looking for ways to grow my hair and make it nice and healthy and today I thought I would share some tips with you :)



1. Drink Plenty of water

Your body needs water to generally be healthy and when you consume the recommended 8-10 glasses of water a day you cleanse your body of impurities promoting healthy hair and overall a healthy body.


2.  Eat foods rich in protein

Your hair is made up of proteins. Therefore if you increase your protein intake then you will more than likely grow more hair. Protein rich foods include but are not limited to eggs, fish, meat, nuts, and you can even go as far as to but protein powder from the store to make tasty and healthy protein shakes.


3.  Take a multi-vitamin

Vitamins are essential for healthy hair growth and a healthy body overall. Vitamins that promote hair growth include vitamin E, Biotin, Vitamin A, Vitamin B3 and Iron to name a few. These vitamins help with blood circulation in the scalp which is essential for hair growth.


4.  Massage your scalp

Once again, good blood circulation is a key factor in growing hair. Massaging your scalp daily for at least 10 minutes will help to circulate the blood in your scalp which will eventually lead to new hair growth.


5.  Wash Hair Often

A healthy scalp will promote and produce healthy hair and you scalp must be dirt and clog free for hair follicles to grow easier. Washing your hair often will prevent build up from hair products and lead to a much cleaner healthier scalp.

REVIEW: Blackmores Hair, Skin & Nails!

 









Hello Readers,


Today I am reviewing Blackmores Hair, Skin and Nails vitamins. After dying my hair my blonde and then back to black it is damaged, short and I just want it longer to be honest. My skin is fine however who cant do with a bit of improvement and my nails are always in a bad state of affairs with my consist need to put acrylics on them, the fact I used to bite them when I was younger and they are naturally oily, bittle and weak hmph.


Alas, I had heard about this supplement and thought I would give it a go. On the bottle it says it takes up to 12weeks to show results, however I saw results after 1 1/2 months of using this, I finished the whole bottle. Which took me two months, the bottle is only meant to last for one month as your meant to take 1 tablet twice daily, however I only ever took 1 tablet a day as I only remembered it in the morning when taking other medication. I can only imagine the results if I was taking it twice a day.


RESULTS:
HAIR: WOW!! What a difference, when I started taking these tablets, my hair was above my shoulders and has now grown about an inch in 2 months. My hair doesnt ever normally grow this fast so I attribute this to the tablets. My hair is also stronger, healthier and Ive had a lot less breakage.


NAILS: Again I saw great results, my nails also dont grow very fast and yet they have been growing about a milameter every few days, I have also taken my acrylics off to see how fast they can improve my nails and possibly even make them stronger?


SKIN: This was the only disappointment for me, I have had a few breakouts however I have had some stress lately (which breaks me out) I have also been using different makeup etc. So I dont attribute this to the tablets at all. If anything my skin is about the same.


PACKAGING: I liked the packaging, I dont have much to say of the subject as I like all the Blackmores packaging, very clean, neat and lablled well.


PRICE: This cost me $20.00AUD I found that to be reasonable and Im not put off by it at all, for what your getting Im very happy. This wouldnt be a product for everyone, however I was desperate for a hair miracle.



BOTTOM LINE: I really enjoyed this, and will be repurchasing. I give this product 9/10.



Until next time,
Talitha

NOTD - Back to Brights!

 

Hello Readers,

Today's NOTD is brought to you by MIKI the colour is simply No.18. I LOVE this colour, I found this brand at the chemist, just about any chemist is Perth, Western Australia. I have seen it at serveral all different stores and have picked up a couple to test them and because Im a nail polish junkie and cant resist a pretty colour. I describe this colour as Aquamarine and I think the company should read this and name it accorrdingly lol.

It has mirco-shimmer in it, which as you know are my favourites types of polishes. I love the finish of this polish, it isnt very glossy however that doesnt bother me because the colour is so eye-catching. I applied two coats, and it was very opaque after even one. I havent got anything like this in my collection and this is a colour I will wear and wear again, especially on my toenails. This will be great in Spring and Summer however in Winter I like this to brighten up outfits and generally my mood.

NOTD: Street Chic

 

Hello Readers,




Today's NOTD is brought to you by China Glaze, Street Chic. It being Winter and all I have been enjoying wearing more neutral and darker colours on my nails. Now you'll have to forgive me and my nails, as I recently decided to remove my acrylics (again) and back to my natural nails, to give them a break and also to test the Hair, Skin and Nails vitamins I have been taking (review in near future). So because of this my nails are in an appauling state.


Getting back to the point, after my last bright colour I was in the mood for a more typical colour and choose this one. It is a taupe-brown colour, which is all too perfect for Winter and I found it went with every outfit I wore (yes, thats important). As far as my time working with it, I found it to be ok (not very descriptive I know) however I didnt find it to be very spectacular nor tragic. It isnt a colour I would automatically think of to wear again however I am glad I have it for Winter and occasions where I would like a nudish kind of colour.

NOTD - WetnWild Tropicalia

 

Hello Readers!!

Today's nail of the day is brought to you by WetnWild. So when the time came around to paint my nails I was on the hunt through my new polishes and was looking for a dark colour or a bright colour and settled upon this as I would describe it as a orange/pink coral colour. It isnt as bright as some colours I have nor is it too pink or orange.

This polish is from the megalast range and I havent tried any WetnWild polishes (or products) before as there aren't available in Australia. This polish also has a Manicurve Pro Brush. You can see by the picture below the polish looks slighty more orange, I describe this as a true coral. This picture was also taken on Day 3 on the polish being on over the top of my acrylic nails.


False light, 2 coats


My first impressions in using this polish, I wasnt very happy with the brush I dont tend to like bigger brushes as I find they can overcoat your nails, or overlap and spill over to your skin. This brush wasnt too bad for all the above mentioned, however, the bristles were what I had a problem with they felt cheap and they seemed to flick out. It terms of the consistency it was opaque and a bit thick, I dont tend to mind that at all though, unless it is gluggy which it wasnt.

It is Winter in Australia so typically some people like to wear darker colours, I dont have this mindset I will wear whatever Im in the mood for and this caught my eye. I will wear this colour again and I do enjoy but Im not ready to reccommend this or rave about it yet, I do want to try a few more of my colours.
