Baja Shrimp Tortillas...

I`m absolutely useless in the kitchen and I`m surprised I was even able to conjure this up without burning up the kitchen. I find myself similar to Carrie from Sex in the City, if I had a chance to use my stove as storage I would.

I heard of this receipe from Lainey, and she mentioned Gwyneth Paltrow had a website and here`s the video where she`s making this.

You will need:
8 Peeled and de-veined shrimp
1 Avacado
cherry tomatoes
half an onion
handful of celantro
salt
pepper
olive oil
hot sauce
2 tortillas

makes two tortillas

Here I`m using a pita(bought from the nearest greek fast food) as I couldn`t justify buying a dozen tortilla`s just to eat two.

Roll it up and enjoy!

Timeless Beauty...

 9" length x 5.5" height

Chanel Black Classic Flap Bag in Caviar Leather, Gold Hardware size Medium

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. If I could only have one bag I would choose this Chanel. I`ve had this bag for 9 years and it`s still going strong. Timeless, elegant, and superb craftmanship. An investment piece that will stand the test of time.
The prices have increased dramatically since my purchase so if you`re able, get it now.

Hair...

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. I first found out about Shiseido Tsubaki Shampoo and Conditioner from fellow blogger xppinkxx. Comes in 3 types; Red for Shining, White for Damage Care, and Gold for Head Spa. So pleased I converted. The scent is delicious! And you get silky silky strands! Builds a great lather, I use 3 pumps for each. I love how the pump is included and you can buy refills. T&T always has sales, the lowest I've spotted was $12.99 each.

*I'm using the Hot Tools 1" Curling Iron to get the wavy curl.

Pass on Kerastase Shine Revealing Shampoo for Colour-Treated Hair

I found I was using quite a bit of product to wash my hair. There was not much of a lather and I felt I wasted most of the product from trying to get a lather. The conditioner didn't help with the tangles and I also used quite a bit to distribute through the hair. For the price, I prefer the L'oreal Porfessional for Colour Treated hair.

Honorable Mentions:

Redken All Soft Shampoo and Conditioner

In my blonde stage I completed damaged my hair to the point it fell out:(

Highly recommend for damaged hair, replenishes the hair and leaves it soft and shiny.

L'oreal Professional Vitamino Color Shampoo and Conditioner

Great for color treated hair, smells divine. Great lather and conditioner makes it easy to comb through.

Velcro Hair Pins...

Dariya Maegami Fringe Holder

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. Saw these on YouTube and knew I had to see what all the hype was. I purchased my first one from imomoko, and my second I found at T&T Supermarket for $5.09. These things are awesome! No more kinks from bobby pins/clips, compact and easy to use.

Pretty and Cute used to have these adorable bow shaped velcro pins in various colors. You can still see what they look like, but aren`t available for purchase.
