I was recently interviewed about a few of my favourite things - graphic design, current trends and Pinterest (!) on Vodacom Now! Definitely feel very honoured to be featured on their site. Now, I just need to work on that silly face ...

On a lighter note (see what I did there? Getting all fancy with puns and stuff... hey now!) I snapped this pic this morning. Just a random collection of some of the things that help me to get that hair colour I love so much, yet also hate for the way I come out of the shower with a giant bird's nest on my head each morning...

I tried the Schwarzkopf Colour Mask in Pearl Blonde last month (I had my hair professionally highlighted in September and my roots were really getting out of hand) - I had read and watched some great reviews on this and decided to give it a try - and I'm still so happy with the results! This is honestly the only hair dye I've ever tried that has not gone brassy & yellow - the bluish-purple mask works so well, so when I saw it was on special at Clicks, I made sure to stock up with another one.

Then there's the trusty purple shampoos - key ingredients in fighting that brassy situation and maintaining a cooler, almost silvery blonde.  I also love the Dove range of shampoos & conditioners & treatments for coloured hair and like to alternate my shampoo between the Dove & a purple variant.

The shower comb is actually more of a representation of my black Tangle Teezer - I honestly can't live without it, but it doesn't photograph very well!

So there you have it, some of my daily essentials in the haircare department!

On Monday afternoon I did something crazy - I quit my day job. I'm not going to go into details on here, but let's just say it was probably the scariest and best decision I've made this year. You know when you just get an overwhelming feeling that you need to make a move and suddenly everything becomes so clear? Well, that's exactly what happened to me.

Even though I know I've done the right thing, I'm also quite anxious about the future, because I honestly don't have any set plans. This scares me a lot - mainly because I'm still paying off my car, student loan, rent, braces... (yes, I am a 24-year old with braces! long story...)

So, I'm just going to have to work my hardest to make this work! (and not end up homeless, haha). First on the list is to update my behance portfolio and post some of my recent projects on this little blog. I'm also really excited about making this space full of awesome content. I already have some cool things planned....
