MUSICAL MONDAY


Little known fact: I LOVE musicals, such a huge fan. RENT is one of my favorites and the opening song "Seasons Of Love" is by far one of the best in the movie...well actually they're all good.

If you haven't seen this movie, I highly recommend you watch it. It is on the Canadian netflix for your viewing pleasure ;)

SET ME UP - 24 HR Hold


Are you guys sick of hairspray posts yet?!

I just can't seem to find a holy grail hairspray actually....I've yet to find any "holy grail" hair product. Why is it so hard?

Quick little post today, I know this doesn't follow my Friday faves but since I don't have a favourite product at the moment this is what you get but I hope you still like it!

Herbal Essences is a inexpensive drugstore line of products who have been around for as long as I can remember. I really do like the majority of Herbal Essences products I've tried and the different hairsprays I've tried are by far the best smelling ones I've used.

This one was not a WOW factor for me, another average hairspray out of the hundred's I've probably tried at this point...Smells wonderful like all the other ones but makes your hair crunchy and that's not a great look it also makes it hard to brush through. The crunchiness could be attributed to the MAX hold factor but I don't want my hair to look and like its coated in grease. It does give a great hold though but it doesn't look good which is part of the point of using hairspray. I'l use it up but will continue the search for that perfect hairspray.

I'd like to apologize for my blog lately, I know it's been kind of boring. 
What do you guys want to see let me know because I want you guys to like he content I'm posting.

Hey guys,
So last night as I was cleaning an old Adele favorite of mine popped up on the good old Itunes.
Take It All. I love Adele her music is for the most part beautifully sad but oh so wonderful.

So I will leave you with this and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Dollar Store Diamonds



Hey everyone!

It's been a while due to the Holidays and such. I hope all of you had excellent holidays and stuffed your face with as much food as possible because I know I did.

I feel like people completely underestimate dollar stores I mean really underestimate. For example Dollarama sells brand name items like Essie and Dove soap and cleaning supplies like Lysol all for much cheaper than you could even find them at Wal Mart yet so many of us just don't want to shop at a dollar store well let me say this if you are one of those people you are missing out big time..here's why....

Last Christmas I got a Mariposa nail polish set {all glitter polishes} and as you may be able to tell from my above rant they are from....you guessed it, Dollarama!

By far the best glitter nail polish I have come across. There were six and I've used three and all have performed equally well. I used the gold polish for this post but previously tried a light pale blue and a more royal blue (love both wore them over a white base coat) I did not use a base or a top coat for this. The above took three coats to complete but is completely opaque. Most glitter based polish does not dry fast or at all even but one coat of this dried in about a minute which made it seem like doing my nails wasn't a chore! I've had this on for four days and not ONE chip. Don't underestimate the dollar store you guys there are some diamond products hidden inside! The only thing I didn't like and it was just a personal preference, was that I don't feel the colour suits me I feel like it washed me out. Can nail polish even do that?  Other than that five stars all around for this gem.

Do you shop at the dollar store and have you ever found any wonderful products?
