colour, rain over me

Okay so as you all are aware from previous posts and the infamous Lauren Conrad picture as seen above dip dye coloured tips are in. This is trend could be a little scary to fully commit too but the fabulous Kevin Murphy Colour Bug has made this a possible and non permanent. I'm sure you're all wonder what this illusive "Colour Bug" is. It is in fact the coolest little baby which you can pick up for $24.95! It is literally a pod of colour almost like a chalk paste which is wipe on, wipe off colour. Which lasts until you wash out your hair. Available in purple (as shown above), pink and orange and suitable for both fair and dark hair. 

As Mr Murphy demonstrates on his videoblog he puts a towel over the models shoulders, and spray her hair with a styling spray this will act as a base for the Colour Bug to stick to your hair. Spray your ends or wherever you'd like the colour to go and then take the Colour Bug and start to rub your strands with the colour. You will see an instant effect of colour and the more you put on the more intense the colour gets. The Colour Bug not only colours your hair but gives it a raw texture and body. I am yet to try this but I hope to this weekend. I could never commit to a bright dye job not only due to my eternal love for chocolate hair but also in terms of work purposes I somehow think it wouldn't go down that well with the boss. So until I either go all our grunge and rebellious there is Colour Bug. 

Watch here for the video and genius at work and see the results on a variety of hair colours and shapes.

I know I've been missing in action for sometime now but with work commitments getting in the way I haven't had any chance for blogging! But I wanted to share with you some recent purchases of late, adore times three. Also on a side note going to Hawaii in a month and have no idea what to pack or rather what not to pack which is generally the case with me... have my eye on a beautiful Camilla kaftan maybe bloggers just maybe....

Obsessing over Calvin Harris of late being a non Rihanna fan I was so surprised at how much I love this song and film clip. One of the best film clips of the year which obviously is a direct reflection of Rihanna and Chris Brown's life (being in marketing it is a great sell)... I love the imagery of a tumultuous relationship, it provokes the thought of whether we can survive in a couple regardless of the bad because the good is so good?

I would kill for beach time right about now... Mondays are bad enough without having to be inside on a day like today. Sydney you are so mean with your temptress ways!!!

winter's over

As much as I love summer I will miss one thing about Winter, tea. I am an avid tea drinker and although you can technically drink tea in summer there is something I find so soothing on a cold winter day wrapped in a merino wool cardi and scarf curled on the couch with my favourite bowl sized mug of tea. Now my favourite, Madame Flavour is for sure a winner, the green tea with pear and the spicy chai are heavenly and you can get these loose leaf pyramid tea bags from Woolies. The worst thing about find a good tea is not being able to find it or buy it from a readily available place! T2, the Tea Centre and all of those speciali-tea (see what I did there) places are great you can't just duck down to the shops and get it - but maybe thats just showing my obession and tea-orexic mentality. Can you have an overdose on tea problem? Either way this activity is going to be something that I will miss doing in the Winter chill...
