Current hair care must haves!


Hey lovelies! Today I wanted to give you a little update on the hair care products that I've been using lately that I JUST CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT! It should be noted that I don't use all of these everyday, but I'll explain when and why I use them under every post! :) 


With the amount of HEAT people use on their hair these day, you MUST MUST MUST have a product for Climate Control!! This is the Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel by OUIDAD. I actually got this product as a gift from Sephora (you know when you have a certain amount of points or whatever..lol). It's great because it works as a protectant but also as an anti-frizz! It's awesome to put it in when your hair is wet because it makes such a difference as you dry!

Cheer Nationals 2013

Hi my loves!

This weekend I went down to Niagara Falls to watch my old high school cheerleading team compete at Nationals. Uniforms, bows and glitter, what could be better?!


Cheer Evolution hosted the 2013 Cheer and Dance Nationals in Niagara Falls. There were hundreds of cheerleaders of all different ages (The little cheerleaders are my favourite, SO CUTE!). They chose a great spot to have the competition, the Scotiabank Convention Centre is big, open, and also close to everything you could need, including the falls! For those of you who have never been to Niagara Falls, I would definitely recommend the trip. The falls are gorgeous and there is so much to do and see there.

Aside from the amazing scenery and routines, I love going to competitions because they always have booths for you to make your own cheer gear! They have tons of stuff to choose from and you get to pick everything. My favourite saying I saw this year was "Kiss My Bow", love it!

Last year, I got to make a sweater at Nationals and it is definitely one of my favourite sweaters to wear! This is how it turned out:


Since this was our first year going to nationals and not competing, we thought we would show our
support by making shirts, wearing cheer gear, team bows and of course using glitter as war paint :) Even though I miss competing, it was nice to relax and enjoy the competition this year!

Revamp Your Room: Shadow Boxes


   Hello! Welcome back to the Revamp Your Room series! In our previous post, we showed you how to make some cool graphic art to brighten up your walls. In this next project, we’re dealing with shadow boxes!

   Shadow boxes are frames, however they have quite a bit of depth to them so objects can be placed inside of them as opposed to just pictures.  Seeing as my room is beach themed, and I’ve collected quite a large collection of lei’s (the flower necklaces commonly associated with Hawaiian culture), I decided to cut them up and fill some shadow boxes with the flower petals to create cool 3D art for my walls!

This project was super simple! Here’s what you need:
·      Shadow Box (I used 2)
·      Different coloured Lei’s/ Objects of your choice
