July Favorites

Hello There! This type of post is a first for me but it has been on my 'to do' list for quite some time - so here goes! This is my ........ 

oooohhhh, aaaaahhhhh! 

This month I have been loving quite a few things - some beauty and some lifestyle. To start out, these 'favorites' post are going to be random not fashion related favorites. I'm going to save all of my fashion stuff for other posts! 

1. Ojon Volume Advance 2 Minute Hair Mask - This has been heaven in a jar. About once a week, after shampooing your hair apply the mask. I usually only do about midway up the strand to my ends but the first go around I did my roots as well and it did not leave any greasy residue! Basically I've found that this reduces frizz, increases shine, and makes my hair feel healthy and full of body. A+ in my book!

2. Essie Nail Polish in Ballet Slippers - Now most people go for bright colors during summer time. As for me, I prefer neutrals during the summer and dark colors during the winter. Simple. This has become my all time favorite summer color and might pop up again in the winter as well! The color is the perfect baby pink and compliments my skin tone quite nicely. 

3. Bio-Oil - As a model, it is my responsibility to keep my body in tip top shape which includes no scars of any kind if I can avoid it. However, as myself... I am a klutz. Cuts, bruises and scars are inevitable. I had heard about Bio-Oil through friends and multiple places on the internet and decided to give it a shot. Let me tell you. This stuff has already made a difference on old and new scars.[ I am not referring to acne or facial scaring - only those on my legs and arms from being a ditz] I definitely recommend it for anyone who is as clumsy as me! 

4. Pomona Grecian Fig Shea Cream - During the warmer months I am not one for heavy perfumes. I prefer light and fresh lotions. This one has been a long time favorite of mine and I will be devastated if it is ever discontinued.[You can find it at CostPlus World Market]. The scent is light with fruity hints and it seems a bit floral to me as well. All in all, a lovely scent!

5. Dan Brown's Deception Point - While this isn't my favorite of Dan Brown's books, it is chalk full of suspense and I am enjoying it so far! Go Dan Brown!

6. Antiques Roadshow - I am an old soul in many ways but this is pushing it a bit. I can't help it! I might as well be sixty five surrounded by cats but I don't care. I love it. It is so interesting to me to listen to people's stories about these lovely pieces and then to find out what they are worth... blows my mind every time. 

Thanks for reading, folks! xx
