Turn up the Volume

A couple blog posts back I talked about giving my hair a little TLC with HASK. They just sent over their new line of Mint Almond Oil which smells just as good! I rarely ever straighten my hair, but after using these thickening products, I wasn't worried about my hair getting brittle and limp. The root thickening spray works on wet or dry hair. I used it here on my dry, straight hair to give it a little bit of that extra volume. While I like the Monoi coconut oil for everyday use (seriously, I've already gone out to buy more), this product is great for getting a little volume before going out for drinks or dancing. Basically, anytime I want to give my hair a little boost. Their products came in the cutest bag that sports the motto "sure, life isn't perfect but my hair is." My life has been chaotic lately with lots of things up in the air. Though I can't have complete control of my life, I can at least have some gorgeous locks! 

What products do you guys use? Are there any hair items you can't go without?

Hair TLC with HASK

The process of bleaching and dying my hair has left it beyond dry. In desperate need of some serious hair TLC, I tried out HASK hair products. Their Monoi Coconut Oil line is a dream. First of all, the products smell amazing! The deep conditioning treatment gave my hair some much needed moisture. The lightweight shine oil is perfect for helping my hair look glossy and eliminate frizz. Their shampoo and conditioner are great for everyday use. Perfect for when you want your shower to feel like you've just stepped off an exotic island. Plus they are affordable and found at most grocery stores and pharmacies! My hair looked and felt so much better after using these products. My hair is going to be going to a couple more processes before I can get it to the color I want, so I'll definitely be stocking up on the deep conditioner to use in between dyes. Give it a try, your hair will thank you!

A couple days ago my hair saw a pair of scissors, something unknown for about three years. Last time I can remember getting a haircut was when, egged on by my freshman year roommates, I hacked my long hair off to my shoulders while sitting on the floor of my dorm room. I tried to get it as straight as possible, but I eventually had to go to the professionals to even it out. That was the last time that I've cut my hair...months turned into years and years turned into, well three. My hair was pretty unhealthy because of all the dying it went through in the last couple months. I have strong opinions about what I'm willing to spend money on, and the thought of spending sixty dollars to cut off an inch or two is something I just can't bring myself to do. When I got offered a great package as part of a salon promotion, I jumped on the opportunity to cut off these split ends for practically nothing.

I took advantage of my hair looking nice/manageable and forced chloe to snap these photos of me. I'm wearing some jewelry I picked up from forever 21 for cheap, cheap, cheap. Chloe and I got matching necklaces, hers saying NON and mine OUI. I also got a tiny heart knuckle ring for $1.50. It's finally tepid outside, which means I can be outside for more than a couple minutes without freezing my bum off. I'm STOKED for the superbowl tomorrow. Though I have no stake in either team, my love for the food and commercials means that it's sure to be a good time.

Tom's kitty sunnies

Dun dun dun DUHHHH....I know you've all been holding your breath, but it's time to breathe easy again because I've finally picked a domain name! You can now find me at www.thefoxtrails.com! The only thing is, my lack of internet knowledge shut down my site for a couple days. I finally had to enlist the help of my brother who told me I "flew to close to the sun" before reluctantly agreeing to help. So you have Richard to thank for being able to read my ramblings again! ANWAY...I've been trying to develop a hobby lately. So far, I haven't found my new calling, but in the meantime I've been spending my time entering giveaways. I usually never win anything, but it's finally paid off! I got these rad sunnies from a Tom's giveaway (along with a hundred dollar giftcard I have yet to spend)! The sunglasses are called 'the Kitty,' so it's only appropriate I have my favorite accessory with me. 

I've been experimenting with hair dye recently. For the past month I've been adamant about dying it purple, but no matter what I do it doesn't seem to last more than a week or two. After the third attempt I finally gave up purple and moved on to pink. It's a pretty subtle color that often looks more orange than it does pink, but I'm diggin it anyway. I always wanted to a be one of the pink ladies from Grease. I guess I'd be Frenchy because of my pink hair...I never did have the sassiness to live up to Rizzo.

Purim Party

Last night my roommates had a party for the Jewish holiday, Purim. They explained it to me a couple times and eventually just settled on saying it was Jewish halloween. I'm not sure what I was dressed as, but I combined flowers with a hippie vibe and this was the result. Lots of people showed up including some friends from home.
