Crappy iPhone pics, but whatever. I used ORS Shampoo and Replenishing Conditioner, CHI Straight Guard Cream and BioInfusion Olive Oil Smoothing Serum.

I don’t usually mix product lines like that, but I have a good reason. I used the CHI stuff because it’s great, but smells too manly and my husband hates it. I’m not the biggest fan either, so I’m not buying any more once I run out of the stuff.

We BOTH love the smell of the ORS shampoo and conditioner (which I’ve used for ages).  I’m not a big fan of SLS, so I’m replacing ORS (and CHI) with the entire BioInfusion line. It’s organic/natural like Aveda and Biolage but much cheaper (and available at Walgreen’s).  It smells incredible and the end result is beautiful.

Also, I died my hair when I could have been doing something else only to have the color not lift like the box says it would. Not even close. It looks like I never died my hair. WT Flying F?!! I want to wear my gosh darned extensions NOW. They’re the clip in kind and the colour looks perfect on me. Why do the hair colouring gods hate me so?

I need to sleep.

Anyway, I’ve gotta go. Be good!

I have already admitted I have slacked on the パラパラ, but I did get some dancing in today.  I just pulled compiled a playlist on YouTube and hopped to it. I messed up a lot, but it was fun. My baby boy loves Gyaruru. It’s pretty funny. I move his arms and sing the lyrics （メッチャ　マッチョ、メッチャboom boom 食べる。。。) and he just cracks up. Meccha maccho maccho meccha boom boom fire!

Next up will be a product review for the ApHogee line. I will say this stuff is super inexpensive and fantastic. The rest will have to wait. See you next time!

These are from yesterday.

Para Para alone is not my key to weight loss. I’ve given up on that and started throwing in the calisthenics, pilates, pseudo-yoga.

I will say this, I’m getting better at learning routines now. I haven’t been at it every single day like in the beginning; family and school come first.  I will say it’s fun when I do get to practice. This has only been like every other day or so. I am making an effort to get back to daily paralism.  I will perservere!

In this case, I spent $7.99 for 6 loose pearl eyeshadows and $6.99 for 3 jumbo eye pencils (all by Nyx). Now that’s value!

My hair is super thick and layered to my shoulders. I  have 2 types of curls- tight and soft, then the coarse naps at the middle-back of my head (about 3″ in diameter). This iron is FANTASTIC. Seriously. I have a Conair ceramic iron that does okay, but the poof comes back to my hair too soon. This Farouk Biosilk iron is big time goodness. It’s totally fighting the friz for me. I also use the CHI Iron Guard Spray. I almost bought a CHI (original), but this was $20 cheaper and allowed me to control the temperature. The CHI Turbo was more than I wanted to spend because I’m a pretty cautious spender. What else? Oh! Some irons get HOT on the outside, but I had this one all the way up to 420F at some parts and the outside never got hot.

My only concern is that the “on” light quickly flickers once it’s at full heat.  My Conair’s light flashes slow and steadily until it’s reached the desired temp. That makes sense to me. The way this iron flickers just seems a little odd, so I’m checking www.farouk.com to see what’s up.

Anyway, BUY THIS IRON. Seriously. I don’t leave a LOT of immediate reviews (not many at all for that matter). I’m in hair love.

PS -

I even left this review on Amazon (where I bought it)

So my next routine will be Niko’s “Night of Fire” and I’ll start it tonight before I crack into my Psych essays.
