27 candles

So it’s my 27th birthday and I have mixed feelings on the whole situation.  My life definitely hasn’t turned out as I expected and planned but I’m really proud of everything that I’ve accomplished and where my life is at the moment.  Here’s to another 27 years.  And, I will continue to say “30?  Who’s 30?!” when someone decides to round up my age.

Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo With Oat Extract

So let’s be honest, washing your hair is not only bad for you but it also just sucks.  Lately I’ve been using Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo (non-aerosol) and I absolutely love it.  I’ve tried a few aerosol versions and yeah, they work but they last for like 5 uses.  Really?  Not for $20, thanks.  This version by Klorane is simply fabulous and, if you’re eco-conscious, it’s paraben and sulfate free!

Something else that I’ve noticed,an added bonus, is that not only does this product absorb excess oil but it also adds a little volume to my roots, which I can always use.

Tarina Tarantino Sparklicity Shimmer Dust

So I recently attended the LA launch party for Tarina Tarantino Beauty.  One of the great things about LA is that, like New York, there is always a party so when I got the invite and saw one, that it was a beauty launch, and two, it was for Tarina Tarantino, I was instantly excited.  The party was awesome- it was in a huge space in Hollywood and I spotted the likes of Meredith from The Office and Chet Cannon from The Real World Brooklyn– who I found surprisingly attractive.  Anywho, my favorite item of the night?  Sparklicity Shimmer Dust.  Unlike traditional shimmers, this mist-on version contains no binders, so all you get is a subtle dusting of pure glitter from head-to-toe.  Love it.
