As long as I can remember my friends and hairdressers have always cooed over my hair. I have to say it is my best asset. Only thing is I have ALWAYS been confused about what hairbrush to use to keep my luscious locks straight and frizz free.
So I did some investigating and came across www.johnfrieda.com. I couldn’t believe my eyes….there was a endless supply of information about hair products, advice, and tools so I ordered some brushes off the fab site. A few days later received the tools to complete the research process……

@MinxNailsDotCom Makes National Flag Nails At London Olympics
I’ve got to admit, the Queen at the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Olympics was pretty epic. Especially with Daniel Craig playing James Bond and of course Mr. Bean’s musical spectacle. But beyond all the sporty athleticism of the world, let’s talk about Olympic beauty!
Of course Minx Nails is jumping on the gun to create a load of amazing nail designs. To celebrate Minx at the Olympic Village, Minx co-founders Janice Jordan and Dawn Lynch-Goodwin have launched The Tasting Room, an online venue where nail professionals and nail lovers can purchase exclusive Minx designs that are not available anywhere else. Talk about an exclusive!
Check out Rebecca Adlington wearing Minx UK flag nails for the 400 m final!
There’s way more girls getting minxed as the games progress. Check out the photos on the Facebook group page.
The Tasting Room showcases exclusive collaborations created by the Minx co-founders, Dawn Lynch-Goodwin and Janice Jordan, who decided to go for the GOLD with the first collection inspired by all things Olympic! Of course I’m rooting for North America. Who are you reppin’?
Tune in for more London Olympics fun!

Zoo Lates in London @zsllondonzoo
Of the many summer festivities available in London town, I think one of the most interesting is this thing called ‘Zoo Lates‘ at the London Zoo in Camden.
Every Friday you can creep in and visit all the animals that come out at night. It’s an 18+ event where you can attend a silent concert (to avoid disturbing the animals that need to go to bed) and drink and eat all you want at a variety of shops hanging out on site.
You can even get kangaroo hot dogs or get your face painted. Or just be straight out silly because looking at weird animals somehow gets a lot more interesting when you’ve got some drinks in you and there aren’t any crying babies around. Also, I tried my first plastic cup of Pimms! This cranberry liqueur mixed with fruits and lemonade. I’m not really a fan. It must be an acquired taste.
There’s only a few weeks left, so book your tickets ASAP and join in on the fun!

Just Touched Down in LondonTown
Hello from England! I’m in London for the next two weeks, and although it’s too soon for the 2012 Olympics, I think it’s fitting to acknowledge the English pride surrounding street wear lately.
The British Flag has found itself on just about everything these days — from t-shirts to handbags to iPhone cases! And you don’t have to be a Brit to embrace this trend–city girls all around the globe can be seen sporting the latest in English-Flag fashion. Whether its on distressed jeans or prim and proper Chanel, how do you rock the red, white and blue?
Cheerio! xx

@PaulMitchellUK Festival Kit For The Summer
It’s the summer and I’m in London, England. What’s there to do? Apparently there’s a music festival every other day and people camp out for days in tents living off booze and crackers. Coachella, you’ve been served.
But let’s not get started about the duffle bag we have to carry all our wardrobe and beauty in. This is a place where band boys are in abundance and some decency applies. Thankfully Paul Mitchell thought of creating a festival kit they like to call Style Survivor.
The kit comes with five classic Paul Mitchell favorites along with a mini brush that fit comfortably in a cute leopard print bag. Check it out:
The Conditioner: Leave-in moisturizer that you can throw on your ends but also use on your legs and skip the body lotion!
Soft Sculpting Spray Gel: This spray-gel does the trick without feeling sticky, especially since you’ll be outside all day.
Awapuhi Moisture Mist: OMG this smells amazing and you can use it on your hair, face, and even on your clothes to smooth out wrinkles!
Hold Me Tight Hairspray: A finishing spray to keep your hair in place for over 24-hours.
Fast Form Cream: Definitely a must-have to tame frizz. Use it wet or dry to smooth out your hair instantly!
Oh yeah, the kit also comes with a set of temporary tattoos for you to brand yourself without getting in too much trouble. I’m #teampaulmitchellhairspray!
But the real kicker is this super cute purple paper boom box! I think it’s absolutely adorable and for only £40 you can’t go wrong! Find the next Paul Mitchell salon near you and happy festival-ing!

Random Eats
I came across this little Italian restaurant while wandering about London, and had the most awesome portobello mushroom appetizer EVER! I’m certain they sprinkled a little magic on it… oh my g-d sooooo GOOD!
