do's

i get some people emailing me about what i do to my hair. usually, i don't do anything to it.  but i have a few different methods i use for when i do decide to do something with it.

here is one SUPER EASY trick to manage long locks and give them a bit of a wave, or that 'beach' look as many call it.

- after a shower, towel dry your hair.
- put in some curl enhancing gel [fructice curls & shine curl enhancing gel is what i use] - it gives it a loose
  hold and doesn't make it 'crunchy' feeling like extra hold hairspray can
- use a blow drier and as you go take sections of your hair and crumple them up in your hand and hold the
  drier to it for a few seconds.
- do this all around your head until your head is dry and VOILA.

**if you don't have gel [which i usually don't], just use hair spray as you go. for dry hair, a blob of regular conditioner works too, and makes it smell super nice.

kloset love

i've been on the go a lot lately. had many visitors staying with me at the lovely house in malta, made a quick pit stop to visit my family and friends in portugal, and finally settled into life back in nova scotia, canada. for those of you wondering, i'll be residing here now for the next few months before i hopefully move back to portugal. but now that i am settled in, expect frequent updates. at least every wednesday!

now to the good stuff. i know my closet would be very satisfied with a dress like this with its tasty sorbet colours, and interesting cuts and fabrics, however, my wallet would not. :(  some shorts and earrings by the same designer, kloset.
