Prodcut Review: Schwarzkopf Professional OSiS+ Rough Rubber Paste

Schwarzkopf Professional OSiS+Rough Rubber Paste is an exception to my usually ‘no products’ mantra! I recently tried this new hair product and I want to tell you about it so you can try it too!

As you already know I’m ‘Always A Brunette’ so I have never dyed my hair and usually shampoo and conditioner are the only things that go in my hair.  My hair is fine and straight so I don’t need much maintaining but it’s good to switch things up once in a while.

When I opened the little red circular container (so cute btw) I was so impressed by the scent. It smells so fresh and very much like my hair would smell after leaving a salon after a haircut. I have bangs right now and they tend to fly away into my face so this OSiS+ Rough Rubber Paste worked out to be a quick fix.  Just a little goes a long way so I dabbed a tiny bit and smoothed it on my bangs and combed it though my hair so that is was rubbed in. The results were natural but a little edgy. You can use a lot or a little depending on the look you are going for.  

Please note: This product was giving to me complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

FriFotos: Catch a Wave in Cancun

Today's theme for #FriFotos on Twitter is waves! I am wishing I was back in Cancun watching the gentle waves of the Caribbean crash along the sugar white sand beach.  Check out the photos I took on the beach while I was there. I'm amazed by how many shades of blue are in the three photos below.

Wordless Wednesday: Santorini on Canvas

Santorini,Greece is the most picturesque destinations I have ever been to! In college I studied abroad in Greece and I was able to spend a few days when classes were not in session island hopping. The island of Santorini is truly is magnificent. It’s a giant volcanic rock in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea offering visitors spectacular views of the horizon from any angle.

I took several photos while I was there but recently I painted my very own painting of the Greek isle at a Painting with a Twist class. I am going to hang this in my home next to other canvas paintings I purchased while in Greece! 

FriFotos: Glass

Secrets The Vine Cancun is a modern resort and every detail is stunning! Check out some of the photos I captured that highlight the use of different glass textures throughout the property during my recent stay.

Product Review: imPRESS Manicure

Every now and then everyone needs a girls’ night in! Recently I had a great time at my friend’s house drinking wine, telling stories and doing manicures. Painting my nails is something I enjoy doing but recently I was introduced to a new kind of manicure, Broadway Nails imPRESS press-on manicure. 

This line of press on nails is very modern and many have a chic pattern on them.  I gave my friend a manicure and she was very pleased with the results. The pattern was a classy lace design. The best part was that there was no dry time so we went right back to pouring more wine to enjoy.

Pros:

Cute designs

No dry time

Easy application

Affordable – about $6.00 at drug stores

Cons:

There are not a variety of sizes! My nail beds were too wide for the kit so that is why I gave my friend a manicure instead.
