Caribana Contest 2012!

So I am announcing this contest very late I apologize! I have been away for a long while doing lots of stuff that you will be happy with let me assure you.

For our next contest I will be giving away Rihannas album Talk That Talk. 

I decided on Rihanna because she is a daring young women who is not afraid to be free with her hair, as well as the fact that she is a Bajan beauty. And what better way to celebrate Caribana than with a Caribbean artist?

Here is how to enter!

All you have to do is post on our wall one thing that you like about your hair, then share it on your own wall or page. Simple as that

Good luck everyone!

Wasaga Beach 2012

My fave Wasaga pic

Wasaga beach! Ah what can’t I say about this place? It’s amazing, from the locals to the entertainment, Wasaga is a great place to be-not to mention it is the longest fresh water beach in all the world! 

I spent about a week in total in Wasaga and I really wish I had got more pictures. Most of my time was spent lounging on the beach and luckily I had my Coconoix butter cream to help keep my hair moisturised! 

This is my awesome grandfather. Can you Believe he is 70??

Unlike here in the city where it hot and sticky, Wasaga is hot and crisp! So if you are like me and you hate sweat, Wasaga is the place to go. 

Lounging

The cool breeze blows of Georgian Bay and the way the sand is carried with it onto the street makes Wasaga look and feel like a real authentic beach resort town. 

If you have never been to Wasaga then I would suggest going up before the summer is over, the best weekend to go is the August 1^st long weekend- in my opinion. There are THOUSANDS of people from all over Canada who come to enjoy the last real long weekend of the summer. 

There is so much to do for people of all ages! Swimming, go carting, fishing, tubing, shopping and we can’t forget clubbing.

Have you been to Wasaga before? Tell us about it in our comments section

Here are some pics from my little hiatus

South Asia fest

Yesterday I had a blast at the south east Asian festival. There was tons of food and not to mention entertainment! We started out with some amazing almond and pistachio ice cream on a stick (the best type of ice cream I have ever encountered let alone tried). As we walked down Gerard we heard the sounds of South Asia as our nostrils were filled with the tantalizing scent of fresh curries and sweet pastries.

We stopped in at one store and spoke to a women about the benefits of mustard seed oil. Did you know that mustard seed oil naturally contains a huge quantity of vitamin E? it also  lowers Triglycerides. Triglycerides are compounds that are found in the blood and which are made up of fat particles. Having higher levels of triglycerides is a condition associated with obesity, heart disease, stroke and many other types of health problems. Fortunately, mustard seed oil can help to lower your triglyceride levels, thereby keeping you healthier in general.

All in all the South Asia Fest was a blast and I totally can't wait to go again next year!
