Everyday Hair Routine from Jenn

Hi guys! Just thought I'd share my everyday hair routine :) I shower at night!


My hair's normal. Not dry but not oily either. My hair is also a normal / medium / thick thickness. It is not thin or fine. 


In Boston I use: Pantene Pro-V Smooth Vitality Shampoo and Conditioner. 
At home I've been using Garnier Fructis Daily Care Shampoo and Conditioner.


After drying my hair with a towel, while it's still a bit damp, I work Biosilk Silk Therapy through the tips/ends of my hair. 


Hope you guys enjoyed this video! 

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays

Hope you all have an amazing day spent with family and friends :)

1. What's Your Favorite Holiday Movie?
2. What's Your Favorite Christmas Color?
3. Do You Like To Stay in Your PJs Or Dress Up For Christmas?
4. If You Could Only Buy One Person a Present This Year Who Would It Be?
5. Do You Open Your Present Christmas Eve Or Christmas Morning?

• Ah! Sorry guys, this is where my camera stopped filming and we both didn't notice so we presumed to prattle on when it wasn't even recording. Hayon gives out presents to her family before Christmas so that they can start using them right away. I haven't done gifts with my family in ages but when we did, we usually did gifts on Christmas morning.

6. Have You Ever Built a Ginger Bread House?

• Hayon hasn't, but I (Jenn) have. Hayon was saying how she's going to try and get one after Christmas is over 'cause they go on clearance. I've only made a gingerbread house once and that's exactly what I did. Keep Christmas goin' for as long as you can!

7. What Do You Like To Do On Your Christmas Break?

• Hayon said get a chance to do nothing and get some work done on crafts.  I love love looove the food. Nothing beats mama's home cooked meals :) 

8. Any Christmas Wishes?

• I honestly don't remember what I said. Probably about something having a good break or something. Hayon said that she wishes for more subscribers and readers to both our youtube channel and blog! (A great wish, no?)

9. Favorite Christmas Smell?

• Hayon said pumpkin (for me, that's a fall/halloween/thanksgiving scent), I said that peppermint has to be my favorite. Peppermint everything!!

10. Favorite Christmas Meal Or Treat?

• This was a no-brainer. Peppermint Bark, of course!

NAKED 2 PALETTE!

It's available right now on Urban Decay website!


I just bought mine (:

Recipe of the week! - Roasted Curry Cauliflower

Hey guys,

I'm going to start uploading recipes that I've tried and want to share! It is going to be very unprofessional and loosely done. lol so bear with me.

Recently, I had to bring a dish to a potluck at work. I wanted to cook something that would be okay to eat hot or cold since I wasn't sure if I would be able to heat it up. Also, something that would look fine in a plastic  container was preferred. 

For my anniversary with the boy, we went to Hatfields, a restaurant in LA that was quite amazing but rather pricey. One of the dishes that came out was curried cauliflower. I really really liked it and wanted to make something like that.

So all you need are:

1 or 2 bundles(?) of cauliflower - cut into pieces like in the pic above

curry powder - enough to cover most of the cauliflower pieces - more the better I found out. 

garlic salt - to taste

and any kind of spices of preference - I had Costco's non salted spices that I just generously sprinkled. Fennel seeds, oregano, rosemary, etc could all be delicious!

any kind of oil - enough to be spread all over the cookie sheet

sliced almonds - just enough. you can skip this if you don't like nuts or are allergic.

Preheat oven to 400 F. Oil the pan. just basically combine all the ingredients together on the pan to avoid washing additional dishes. and pop the pan in the oven and cook for 30 minutes or until the cauliflower looks roasted, NOT BLACKENED. 

and you are DONE! 

Enjoy!

Deborah Lippmann - Bad Romance: disappointing.. :(

So I gave in to my weakness and bought a nail polish.

I've always wanted to try a deborah lippmann nail polish - especially Bad Romance.

It's so pretty in the bottle. Black base polish with chunky pink glitters.

I've tried it in store before, but only a coat at most. I always thought it would be more glittery when I put on more coats and become chunkier in glitter.

So, when I tried it on after the purchase and the result was not as glittery as I wanted, I was disappointed.

I wanted the glitter to seem more patchy? and not so separated.

And another annoying thing was that after a different coat, glitters tend to get covered.

Also, the surface wasn't as smooth as I would expect from a 16 dollar nail polish.

After a day or two, it started chipping.

It is all very upsetting. But in the end, I do like it to a certain extent. I have never seen a nail polish like this one. I just wish it were... better! 

But, from this overall disappointing result, I just would never purchase another deborah lippmann polish.
