ALBUM REVIEW: Christina Aguilera Lotus


CHRISTINA AGUILERA Lotus 
album review 

The most anticipated album of the year is finally here! Christina Aguilera is back! After the unfortunately failure of her previous album Bionic, due to low album sales which resulted in a cancelled tour. Christina proves that she is and will always be a fighter, rising up to deliver one of the best albums of her career, Lotus. 





Rise up Lotus rise this is the beginning.... 


To the sky I rise spread my wings and fly. 
I leave the past behind say goodbye to scared child inside.  
I sing for freedom and for love.  
I look at my relfection embrace the woman I have become. 
The unbreakable Lotus in me, I now set free. 

Mixing strong military style beats with classic Christina style empowerment ballads, this album gives the fans what we have been waiting for - the real Xtina! The lead single "Your Body" showcases Christina's flirtatious nature and sexy curves. 



My favourite tracks on the album include Lotus, Army of Me, Make the World Move, Sing for Me, Blank Page and Best of Me. There are so many truly amazing songs on this album proving Christina still has that legendary vocal ability that made her famous. Unlike Bionic there is only two tracks on the album that disappoint - Circles and Shut UpFans are expecting RCA to release the right singles from Lotus to help increase album sales. This will ensure that Christina can tour worldwide.

CURL REHAB: My Curly Hair Routine


After almost a year of straightening my hair, through daily struggles with my flat iron and blow dryer I've decided that enough is enough! As part of my 2013 Journey towards my Dream I'm embracing my natural curls by wearing my hair curly. 

My hair is very dry and damaged from the constant blow drying and flat ironing, so I'm putting myself into Curl Rehab. My mission to hydrate and revive my curl pattern! My hair type is 3A Curly Twirly and my hair texture has always been naturally very thick and curly with a strong "S" pattern. However lately after the damage of 10 months of wearing my hair straight I've lost my natural curl pattern - my hair has become dry, damaged and I have alot of split ends. So I looked for products that could help me restore my goldilocks style curls I was once known for. 


I recommend this website it's a great resource for curly/wavy hair:


In this video I share with you the products and techniques that I have been using for the last 2 weeks to help revive my hair back to curly!

ALBUM REVIEW: Taylor Swift Red


RED TAYLOR SWIFT
album rewiew

Taylor Swift's recently released her 4th studio album simply titled "Red". I purchased the deluxe edition (which was only $2 extra) that includes a bonus disc with 6 extra tracks including 3 new songs! I am so glad I purchased the deluxe double CD because my favourite song from RED is The Moment I Knew which is only available on the bonus CD! 


My other favourites include the playful upbeat I Knew You Were Trouble, Everything Has Changed (a duet with Ed Sheeran) and the unique ballad Sad Beautiful Tragic. My least favourite songs are the 1st single We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together and Stay Stay Stay (the worst Taylor Swift song ever!) and The Last Time her collaboration with Snow Patrol. 





RED  {Hidden Messages from Taylor's Lyrics}
State Of Grace - I love you doesn’t count after goodbye
Red - Sag
Treacherous - Won’t stop till it’s over
I Knew You Were Trouble - When you saw me dancing
All Too Well - Maple Lattes
22 - Ashley Dianna Claire Selena
I Almost Do - Wrote this instead of calling
We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together - When I stopped caring what you thought
Stay Stay Stay - Daydreaming about real love
The Last Time - L.A. on your break
Holy Ground - When you came to the show in S.D.
Sad Beautiful Tragic - While you were on a train
The Lucky One - Wouldn’t you like to know
Everything Has Changed - Hyiannis Port
Starlight - For Ethel
Begin Again - I wear heels now

InStyler Review

The InStyler 
the rotating hot iron


Silver InStyler Review 
by Lauren Day 

InStyler Features: 
  • 30 second rapid heat-up 
  • 1 1/4" (32mm) rotating barrel
  • 196C (degrees) ceramic heat
  • Auto safety shut-off 
  • Multiple heat settings (high, medium, low) 

Benefits of using the InStyler: 
  • Adds volume and shine
  • Straightens and curls
  • Styles in half the time




Included with your InStyler:
  • 3-in-1 Styling Comb 
  • Heat Resistant Carry Bag
  • Thermal Shield Training Guard 
Also available in a smaller barrel version - 3/4" in pink or purple. Perfect for short hair or creating gorgeous tight curls. 


What I love about the InStyler is that it's very quick and easy to use. It adds volume and body to my hair and enables me to create different looks from straight to soft waves with flicks. The InStyler will not replace your straightening iron or blow dryer but it's a great styling tool for your beauty collection.
