Celeb Hair You Love
I am in love with Jeannie Mai's hair (She is the host of How Do I Look? on Style). I love how subtle the blue streaks are in her hair and how amazing it always looks.

Hair Photo-A-Day...

I was checking out Chantelle's blog (Fat Mum Slim) today and I noticed that she had a Hair Photo-A-Day list up. Apparently she was approached by Pantene to do a Hair Photo-A-Day list in honor and leading up to National Donate Your Hair Day April 27th.

Here is the exact information from Fat Mum Slim:

Starting on March 29th worldwide, Pantene would love for you to take a photo using the daily prompt as inspiration and share on whichever platform you like {Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, your blog, Tumblr, Pinterest etc} and use the hashtag #HairPhotoaday. This is a little different to the photo a day lists that I've created in that the date of the month won't coincide with the list number. You'll just start taking photos and follow the list.

Here it is for easy reference:
March 29: Hair self portrait
March 30: Celeb hair you love
March 31: Hair flash back {a photo of you and your hair a while back}
April 1: Going out hair
April 2: Hair colour you adore
April 3: Your hair-do today
April 4: Best hair moment {the haircut/style you loved the most on you}
April 5: Your favourite hair accessory
April 6: Straight hair
April 7: Long hair {if you don't have it, share a friend, celeb etc}
April 8: Dream hair {hair you wish you had}
April 9: Your mum's hair {past or present}
April 10: Weekend hair
April 11: A stranger's hair
April 12: A favourite short 'do
April 13: Curly hair
April 14: Hair Swissshhh
April 15: Worst hair moment
April 16: Straight out of the shower hair
April 17: Your hair as a child
April 18: A friend's hair
April 19: Hair product you used today
April 20: Bed head
April 21: Your hair at 8pm
April 22: Hair don't {hair you really don't like}
April 23: Flashback: Your hair as a teen
April 24: Where you did your hair today
April 25: Daily hair routine
April 26: Work / School hair
April 27: Donated hair

Seeing as I love me a good photo of the day post I've decided to do this one. I hope you all take part and post your own pictures or donate on the 27th!

The Ladies Of A Beautiful Mess Love Libraries...

The ladies over at A Beautiful Mess put together another set of library/librarians inspired outfits in their post "Sister Style: Library Inspired" and I adore them, so I thought I'd share.

* See "The Library Date Dress: 3 Ways to Wear It" for one of their other library/librarian inspired outfits.

Birchbox: March 2012...

My March Birchbox came in today and here it is...

• Annick Goutal Petite Chérie • essie® luxeffects •
• fresh Sugar Rosé Tinted Lip Treatment SPF 15 •
• Kerastase Elixir Ultime • twistband® Hair Tie •

I was happy that this Birchbox had better samples then the past two months because I really didn't care for the contents of my last two boxes. I was super excited to see the essie® nail polish because I almost bought it about a week ago -- Thankfully I didn't!

Also I was glad to get the fresh Sugar Rosé Tinted Lip Treatment because I missed getting it from Sephora as my birthday present and I've wanted to try it.

After I try everything I'll let you know how I feel about them.

I purchased all items mentioned with my own money. My opinions have not been sponsored or solicited by anyone, but if you wanna send me free stuff I'd totally take it, try it & give you my honest opinion of it.

Birchbox: February 2012...

My February Birchbox came in over the weekend and here it is...

• Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint • Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant •
• colorescience pro® Mineral Bronzer Face Color in Kissed By The Sun •
• Eye Rock Designer Liner • Track from Green River Ordinance •

Okay, this is most definitely my least favorite box that I've received since I started getting Birchboxes in October. The only thing that I was happy about was the heart shaped emery board, but I needed another emery board like I need a hole in the head. Despite not really caring for the content of this box and the January box I'm not giving up on Birchbox just yet.

FYI - Lenni got the same exact contents in her box.

Rant: Disheveled Librarian Makeup...

I was watching Face Off (2011-Present) on Syfy last night and they had a Foundation Challenge to make models into plain Janes. One of the contestants, Rayce Bird, made his model into a "Disheveled Librarian" and it pissed me off. Why must people perpetuate librarian stereotypes?! Either we're sexy or the ugliest things you've ever seen. Please stop stereotyping us. Thanks.

Birchbox: January 2011...

My January Birchbox is in...

• Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy • VMV Hypoallergenics Re-Everything Lotion •
• ORIGINS Checks And Balances™ Frothy Face Wash •
• LÄRABAR Mini Bars • stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner •

This isn't my favorite box overall but I was super excited to see that I got a Stila Smudge Stick, aside from that I'm indifferent about the content of my box. Lenni hasn't posted what she got yet but when she does I will most definitely post a link. I will try out the samples at some point and let you know how I feel about them.
