The Aveda Institute | My Experience

A couple of weeks back I was invited to head down to the Vancouver Aveda Institute to check out the facilities and enjoy a wash, cut and blow dry. If you've read Girl Loves Gloss for a while you know that I've struggled with my hair in the last couple of years, mainly with the texture changing, it thinning noticeably and weird cowlicks popping up that never were there before. So when I was asked to come in, I almost wanted to say, "Really? You sure you've got the right girl?" but then I reminded myself that not everyone has an amazing head of hair, and that my struggles might touch someone else out there, so I gave it a go.

ALL ABOUT OIL | Sephora's Beauty Oil Essentials Kit

We quite often get the phrase "oil free" rubbed in our faces, don't we? The word "oil" seems to always have a negative connotation to it, but lets get one thing straight, oil does not equal grease. I always harp on about how there are so many products out there these days for oilier skin types, and so few for us dry skinned gals, so when I saw the Sephora Favorites Beauty Oil Essentials Kit and noted that it had a few products I already had my eyes on I knew I had to pick it up.

HAIR WOES | Growing It Out

You may remember a post of mine several months ago titled "It Grows Back" where I chatted about how I hastily chopped off 10 inches of hair. I haven't spoke about hair since, because quite frankly, it's been a sore subject for me. While the actually hair cut I got was cute (no fault to my hair dresser on this one) the length was just not good for me. It made it incredibly hard for me to style, and made my super thin fine straight hair painfully obvious. I just isn't working, and I wont lie, my confidence has taken a beating for it. I realize that sounds a bit vain, but I'm being super honest here folks. 

So forward 3 plus months later and I ask myself, is there anything I can actually do about this??
