New supply of hairproducts


Thank you strawberrynet.com! I ordered these hair products online, Frederic Fekkai is the new big name in hair wonderland. I used the Fekkai advanced full blown volume shampoo and conditioner yesterday..my hair felt so soft and healthy afterwards. It does add some volume to my hair, but in a subtle way, not too bombastic. But I like the result. My hair is shiny, and feels strong. The other product I got is the Fekkai Glossing shampoo and conditioner. I got the big sizes, so I would be good for a long time. Best products I've used so far. 

Joico is another favorite of mine. I've been using the moisture revorery shampoo and conditioner. Again, lovely products. Now I read somewhere that one of the best hair masks is the K-pak. I haven't tried it yet, but I will be sure to post a review about it.

Lovely sparkles


I bought these little jewels at the American Apparel store in Antwerp. I'm seriously addicted to nailpolish. I have about 40 different colours and brands. More expensive ones, and offcourse the cheap products. These glitter and metallic nailpolishes were 7 euros each. I fell in love with the left one..that's the one i'm wearing now..I started with a black layer from OPI, and then added this Supernova nailpolish..it looks amazing! You can layer it very thick, so it looks like your nails are covered with diamonds. Then finish with a top coat, and your set to go. 

You can find these 4 colours in the store on the Kammenstraat.

Healthy and shiny hair - how to

 Who doesn't want celebrity hair? I do!

I've always wanted to have healthy shiny hair. But I've never managed to get it there. I've bought over a million different types of shampoo..but my hair just never got to that level. Yes I use a blowdryer, and hair straightener..but you just have to prep your hair for them. I recently discovered this shampoo, from Joico..It's called moisture recovery. Pretty pricy, 20 euros for 1 bottle. But it's an true investment. I used it once, and my hair felt so soft afterwards..so healthy! So now I got the shampoo AND conditioner, and let me say, it's a MIRACLE.

PLUS I got the Fekkai glossing cream. After I wash my hair with Joico shampoo and conditioner..I rub the cream in with my fingers, and blow dry my hair..the cream repairs your hair so good, it leaves little tiny shiny parts on your hair, I'm telling you, so shiny! 

I ordered some more products from Frederic Fekkai, so i'll keep you guys posted about that! 

Who is your celebrity hair crush? 

Mine is Kourtney Kardashian...I love her...hair.

Airbrush tan

Today I tried something new. Airbrush Tanning. I've always been obsessed with tanning. I have a pretty fair skintone, so I've been trying to find a way to get a good healthy looking tan. I've had my fair share of tan bloopers. The mistake everybody makes at least once, THE SPRAY TAN GONE WRONG! So I stuck with the tanning booth, up until now. I found this beauty center in Antwerp, some-body..they have tanning booths, but I figured let's try something new..so I went for it. The lady was really nice, she was fully booked until Christmas, but she opened up a half our early, so I could get my tan on before the holidays. So I got there, at 9 in the morning. She took me in the backroom, where I could change. I shared my dressing room with her little cute doggie 'Dolce'. You could wear whatever you felt comfortable in. I chose, a strapless bra and underwear. She took me in the little bathroom, where I had to stand in something that looked like the bottom part of a shower..she started her airbrush machine, that sounded a lot like a vacume. She first started with my backside..then I turned around, so she could proceed with the front. It took about 5 minutes, I waited another 3 minutes before putting my clothes on. At first, you didn't really see a lot. It was a light gold colour. She warned me, that it would get darker in the next 4 hours. I had to wait at least 4 hours, before taking a shower. So I did, around 1 o clock in the afternoon, I looked in the mirror, and was in shock, I was dark dark brown. I had a tan, people could only dream of. Yes, I had some small spots on my feet, around the toe area. But the rest of my body, looked pretty spot free. Around 3 o clock, i decided to take a shower, I was curious if it would wash off completely. I looked somewhat less tan when I got out of the shower..but still, pretty tan. 
One tanning session costs 28 euros. A lot of money, but all things considered, it's healthier than the tanning booth, the colour should last up to 11 days, plus you get a better result, after only one session. I'm definitely going back. 

The place I went to is called some-body.

Very important, when you shower, use bodylotion after! It keeps the colour on longer. 
The day before your appointment, use a bodyscrub. 




Look how pale ass I was before my spray tan session.
