i have been thinking about getting into the moroccan oil revolution for a long time now but just could not justify paying around $40 for a bottle of oil. finally today, after randomly walking into the pharmacy near my office, i was lucky enough to find a good bargain- a full size shampoo for $15 and a small bottle of the morrocan oil (25ml) for $13. bargain!
i came home with the mission of trying out my new purchases and WOW am i in love! my hair naturally curly and quite fine, so it tends to know very easily. i try not to use a ton of heat on it as well as my hair responds by becoming brittle and clumping into a giant knot- which is not a whole bunch of fun to comb out.
then there is the issue of how much hair falls out with each wash- i generally try to wash my hair twice a week- depending on how hot it is here. no matter what i have tried- creams, potions, lotions, masks, oils- nothing seems to strengthen my hair. my hairdresser even seems amazed that im not bald by the amount of hair that falls out with gentle wash ( let me tell you, having a professional say she is "freaked out" isn't the nicest feeling) but, moving on... tonight i might have just found my saving grace. i used the shampoo and just gently massaged it into my scalp and wow it felt good. im not someone who jumps on bandwagons with the latest this and that- but i have heard a whole heap about this range and i must say that im glad i ended up getting the shampoo. while rinsing it out, only a few strands of hair fell out- which had me thinking "whaaat?" i mean, hair still fell out, but not a whole clump as usual. after one wash. a good result. i mean wow. so good.
i have tried the oil on my ends, and i guess time will only tell whether it livens up my curly mop of fine, volume lacking hair.
but so far? absolutely rating it.

this past saturday, tanika and i co-hosted our first ever halloween party. it really was such fun. tanika and i had been planning the night for about a month or so, going through what we would need for the party. We made about a million lists and refined our ideas for the food, drinks and decorations from ideas we got online and through some of the blogs that we follow as well. I have to say my favourite part was making up the signature cocktails that we had for the night.
we decided that we would have 2 signature drinks for the night, both with a halloween theme attached. the first cocktail we came up with was the bloody cocktail. it was so simple!

we threw some ice, strawberries, malibu, midori, canadian club and some lemonade into a blender and whizzed it together and viola- a bloody cocktail :) our second drink was simply champayne with a peach slice and peach syrup. quite sweet, but a good way to start the night.

our menu consisted of a lot of finger food, such as home made pizza and sausage rolls. The normal 'party' food was also a must, with crisps and dips in abundance, snake lollies and chocolate pastry also around. We also did a platter with finger vegetables & dip so we could pretend we were being healthy :) Such a fun night, with everyone dressing up and best dressed going to the geisha and woody from toy strory. cant wait for our next one :)

another month, another wine tour
so it must seem that i spend alot of my time drinking wine and touring the WA wine region. not so! but i do love it. last weekend brought about another birthday for our family and what is better way to celebrate that to get on a bus at 930am and head into the swan valley wine region. we visited a few wineries and a chocolate factory. lets just say i wont be mixing wine and creamy iced chocolate again. other than feeling like a bloated whale i had a great time. we tasted countless wines, became pregressively louder as the day went on and ate at a german inspired restuarant and ended up back at my cousin's home where the celebration went on well into the night. good times all round.

birthday dinner
a couple of weeks ago, my dearest cousin had a little get together for her birthday at a swanky restaurant in the city centre. drinks flowed, dinner was nice and the company amazing. i know she got a whole post to herself on the day- but again tersh, i hope this birthday brings lots of good things for you.

catchup
so i know i have MIA for a little while. honestly there has just been so much going on that i have not found one second to post anything at all. between trying to finish off our front garden, buying my first car, going on wine tours and working late i dont know how i am still standing. hopefully things can settle into more of a 'regular' (but still fun) routine. just a few photos from the last couple of weeks. enjoy xx
