And that was it for the first month of
the year. Here are my favourites of the month of
#Saltbae:
I have a bit of a sparser brow these
days. I used the Blond for a while and as I changed my hair I changed
the pencil.
This is available at Clicks, Dischem,
Red Square and some Pick 'n Pays For
R29.95.
Renew Perfect Colour in Passion
Pink, Royal Sapphire, Purple Fantasy and Ocean Burst:
This purchase came from over watching Guy Tang. My Little Pony galaxy hair was calling me. Now
there are unfavourable reviews on Instagram and their Facebook ads'
comments but hair colour is actually chemistry and especially with
fashion colours it's a gamble if you don't know. Personally the only
problem I had with this kit is my own limitation. I loved it. It's a
good product for a great price.
In my temp kits I got the powder and
developer to pre-lighten. (I am a person who peroxides monthly and
this stuff is boss)
100ml of colour cream. (A bonus, as the
other brand that does fashion colours only have 50 for double the
price)
2 conditioning treatments (Bonus tip:
as my colour was fading in toned it with a bit of colour cream I had
left mixed with a conditioning treatment)
Gloves, leaflet and mixing brush
AND a bottle of shine serum. (I LOVE
that stuff. I'm glad I have 3 extra bottles so I can use it FOREVER)
Now I did this on my own in my guest
bathroom . . . okay, my husband help with the back of my head. I went
to my stylist and she was impressed with the results. She lifted part
of the colour and there were real opal hair vibes. I will be buying
the Ash Blond and taking it to her so we can mix a blue grey.
Woolworths Mens jeans:
WHAT! MENS JEANS!
Yes, I bought man pants. I wish to live
in a world where men and women’s wear are created equally. Why are
women's wear so expensive? An plain T for men: R39. Plain T for
women: R80- R100. Why does a size 14 (38) in women’s come to my
thigh and a men’s 38 (14) fit well? Why is one shop's 14 over size
and another I can just pull up just past my knee?
I guess those are mysteries we will
never solve. (Please don't come here with your 'men are bigger'
stories. 38 is the inch measurement of the waist and 14 is another
sizing unit for 38.) Also men’s jeans are made out of more robust
material.
Potatoes:
I did not jump on the January diet
wagon as I am already cutting back on bread, pasta and the starch
section of the food groups but I can't leave potatoes. Baked, mashed
or fried. I've scaled down the amount but I will never stop eating
the potatoes. I'd rather have less than stop.
Went for an Eye Test:
For a new part of my Favourites series
I thought I would add a health item instead of more food. So last
month I went for an eye test and got two pairs of new glasses. On
most medical aids eye tests are 100% covered.
I made an appointment at Torga optical.
They have an option of buy one frame and get another free. They have
a range of all kinds of glasses. That is actually why I went to them.
The test was quick. I went in on a Wednesday and Saturday I could
already go and collect my glasses. I had to pay in an amount but I
got 2 pairs of fully functioning glasses.
Meitu
Recently there has been an influx of
this app's popularity. This is my go to app for filters and editing.
The new Hand drawn feature will make
you look dreamy A.F.
Window Shopping:
In real life and online. You can look
and take in all these beautiful things and your bank balance stays
the same. From furniture stores to just swatching my arms full of
make up. Cost: R0. I especially looking at clothes that are nice but
I'll never wear. Same with some lip sticks. My Takealot wish list
also grew to almost a 100 items 3 quarters of it is things I will
eventually buy, later.
I recommend that this can only be done
with certain people or by yourself. I had experiences that involved a
super judgemental people who just shops for themselves (immediate
anxiety trigger) and I'm one of those people who loves pieces and
colours even if it's not for me.
That's my that.
