The Hairspray that Snaps, Crackles and Pops . . . Literally!!

This morning, I decided to reach for my KMS California (Hairstay Style Boost) Hairspray that I received in my August Glossybox and as soon as I pressed the nozzle to release the mousse loooool I thought my hand (and my hair) *as I had plopped in on my hair subconsciously - as you do with most hair products* had been donked in an amplified bowl of rice krispies!!!!

I actually kid you not!!!

This hairspray/hair mousse is just plain, old mean, and the manufacturers should have stuck on warning sign label on the body of this product - something along the lines of this

"WARNING Product designed to make your hair sound like popping candy!!!!"

Taking a quick glance at the ingredients for this hairsprays betrays it's secret . . . It's made with pepper loooool golly gosh!!! What will they think of next!!

Well at the moment my hair seems to holding reasonably well against the wind, so the pepper spray *see what I did there* seems to be working.

My September Wishlist . . .

I am super big itno anything black . . .studded . . . and pwettiiiiii (but honestly I think prettiness lies in the eyes of the beholder). These are the things that I am absolutely dying to have in my cupboard before September is over, anyone who has seen me lately knows that I love my leather jacket and I seem to be wearing it everyday but I actually think I might have just found a new favourite.

FYI as I really should mention this. The Gotsu Laptop Sleeve by Kipling x JCDC will completely and utterly be an impulse buy, as I don't actually own a laptop . . .I do on the other-hand have a netbook but I'm so in love with this laptop sleeve that I intend to buy it, and stuff tissue paper into it, so Nettie *thats my pet name for my netbook btw* will have a comfy fit.

Blondi Rae at Earth Salon . . .

Here I am  . . . Oxford Circus . . .Soaking wet . . . marching like a storm trooper in the rain . . rushing to get myself to the Blondi Rae and Earth Hairdressing event as I was DETERMINED for once not to be late (and my efforts paid off *yaaay me*). Despite the low turn out due to the gale force wind and rain, it was a great event, very cosy and highly informative.

 When I walked in to Earth Salon, Blondi Rae was in the middle of filming her online video demonstration on her new hair colour remover, turning the models hair from a Cheryl Cole red, back to her natural brunette colour (and I really wish I remembered to pull out my camera while I was there because the results where amazing) The Blondi Rae Colour Remover is really one of a kind, because it acts more like a conditioning treatement than a remover *that's not to say it does not do its job*, it does what it's meant to and even better can leave your hair in a better condition than when you sat in the stylist's chair. It is a peroxide-free treatment so there is no burning . . . no funny smells . . .and no damage!!!!
Blondi Rae really had the gift of gab, because I don't know how she managed to keep finding this to say for the duration of the video, it was very interesting to watch her do it. Click here to check her out in action
At the moment, Blondi Rae Products are for professional use only, but once its not . .  .I will be the first person in the queue to snap up these bad boys!!!!

Last Sunday, My family and I went to a family thanksgiving ceremony at my cousin's church to celebrate him recovering from a serious bout of pneumonia so we were all celebrating his good health and him being back to his cheeky ol' self. I should note that I would have posted this a bit earlier but I got slight food poisoning on Monday due to whatever bbq chicken I ate after the ceremony ended looool

I'm also adding my sister's OOTD because I think she looked super cute that day especially her earrings
