I Love My: GHD Gold Styler

So a couple of years ago I’m shopping with my (super-fab) friend and ask “where do you usually get your hair done?  The waves are so beautiful.”  She says “What?! No – I curl it every morning with my ghd.”  I’m like “Huh!? A what what?!  You do this every morning and it lasts all day!?!?”

Fall hues

Hello hello!  I hope you all had a great weekend.  As you know, mine was a lazy one which means I had time to paint my nails!  I have fallen in love with this deep red raspberry hue.  It’s rich and pretty, but perfect for fall.  Getting your nails done with girlfriends is always a treat.  But, sometimes there’s nothing nicer than pouring yourself a glass of wine, watching some fluffy TV, and filling your home with the smell of nail polish!

PS.  I try hard to protect my nails from damage and discoloration.  I used a Revlon base coat this time, but if you have a favorite base coat please share!
