me and my sisterr.

Today was my sisters birthday and we went to a movie and had wagamama which was fun. My sister is so funny and she reminds me so much of myself when I was younger, I love her. She turned 12 which makes one more year until she turns into a teenager. So happpy birthday little sis. On another note I am now tweeting again my twitter is girlabouttownn with two n's. I also went shopping last weekend but I got clothes and I don't know if you guys would be interested in that. We had the biggest storm last night and not going to lie it was kind of scary considering I was watching a nightmare on elm street at the same time. I have been pretty good lately and have one week left of school which makes me happy. Currently I have been listening to the naked and famous and also the 'country' playlist I made on my ipod which consists of john mayer, taylor swift, brad paisley and darius rucker. That's pretty much it for this week. More posts later.

hairrr routine.

Lately I've really been into hair which is kinda cool because it is a lot like make-up, you have your higher end brands like tigi and joico and you also have you lower end or drugstore brands like pantene and tresemme. As for my hair, it is virgin hair (never been dyed) with oily roots and dry ends (from heat damage) which is quite the challenge.

the products

tresemme cleansing shampoo

tresemme moisturising conditioner

pantene 3 minute miracle

hair dryer

sebastian potion 9

tresemme 24hr body root booster spray

toni&guy heat tamer spray

ghd straightning iron

tresemme hair mousse

tigi bedhead brunette goddess shine spray

how i do it

1. wash my hair with shampoo, just in the roots and rinse

2. put conditioner in bottom of hair and leave for a few minutes then rinse, once a week or every two I put in pantene 3 minute miracle for three minutes in the bottom of my hair

3. put my hair up in a towel for 10 minutes, then take down and comb through

4. blow dry bangs on the cool setting of hair dryer

 5. put sebastian potion 9 in bottom of hair and spray root boster spray in roots, then spray in heat tamer spray and blow dry whole hair on the hot setting and blow dry upside down

6. once dry spray in heat tamer spray again and straighten all of hair with ghd straightner

7. then apply mousse on the bottom of hair

8. spray a little bit of shine spray into hands and run all over hair

and finished.

pretty little liars + whats coming up

Sadly, they don't screen pretty little liars here in new zealand which sucks a lot, I have read the first two books and I love them both but I haven't been able to find the other six. My uncle downloaded the first five episodes of the show and so far I've watched three and I'm obsessed. It's so mysterious and I kept wanting to read more. It's perfect, if only they made a movie out of my other favourite book, the summer I turned pretty.

inspiration of the week.

Does anyone else apart from me find this beautiful? The hair, the outfit, the nails. I believe its from a wildfox couture shoot, and I adore wildfox.

bring on summer..

Over in New Zealand our seasons are different and right now it's winter going into spring, we've had winter weather all week which I hate because of rain but supposedly since it's 31st of August, spring starts around tomorrow. Which I guess is good since I can go back and look at all the spring hair and fashion posts on blogs of people from the other side of the world. Pretty soon the school term will be ending meaning term holidays for a couple weeks (and the end of term run which I'm not too happy about) and then it's straight back into last term of school including exams and then summer! Jeez I love summer so much, not only cause of holidays but also because of make-up, hair and clothes. Firstly in summer I have relatives in Australia near Sydney who live near this beautiful beach, I'm not sure how long we are going because last year we stayed for two weeks and went to Sydney and then the Gold Coast which is where all the theme parks are. Then when we come back we go to a camping ground in the north island for two weeks which is a lot funner than it sounds, just the people and beach parties during the day and at night. Getting tanned is nice as well, not lying out in the sun but just walking around getting that glowy tan.

{hair}

just left out or in a messy ponytail or bun, spritz a little salt water into it. It can get damaged though so in summer use really moisturizing conditioners (bedhead moisture maniac, tresemme salon silk), if your really worried, spritz a little heat tamer spray in your hair. Also a leave in conditioner will help, let your hair dry naturally and leave straightening to a minimum.

{make-up}

Since you get tanner, it kinda evens out your complexion. Minimal make-up, tinted moisturizer, cream blush, waterproof mascara and vaseline or like a tinter lip conditioner for your lips. My skin also seems to clear up rapidly in summer which I adore.

{style}

fairly simple in summer, cute swimsuits. Ripped denim shorts, cute little tops with pictures of the beach or slogans on them but not little kiddy prints. Summer dresses or maxi dresses. As for shoes, flip flops or whatever, this is going to sound bad but I wear bare feet a lot of the time at the camping ground. 

Sorry for this post, I'm just too excited for summer! 

face of the day.

One of my first face of the days that if you want me to do more of these just tell me because I think I enjoy them. Today I went to school (so fun, right?) and it was mufti day which we only have like twice a year so everyone gets excited, well atleast I do. I know that sounds entirely nerdy but its true. I swear on mufti every girl you walk past gives you the up down look and you do it too without noticing. I envy those schools who don't have uniform but if my school was like that I don't think I could manage. I can barely decide what to wear on mufti day, let alone ever single day.

{make-up}

basic foundation routine (will post soon), mascara, pink blush and gloss

{hair}

texturised hair with straightening iron (post coming soon) and tied into a high messy ponytail with a thick black ribbon tied in a bow around it.

{outfit}

light wash ripped skinny jeans with plain black top, cable knit white oversized cardigan and black converses

That's it
