HAIR CARE

VLOG So after months of requests the hair care video is finally online. Must admit that I had some real troubles uploading it since I have a new computer and didn't really knew how all the video programs worked. I tried to used Final Cut pro, but gave up thinking that I'll try it out for the next video and simply used the oldie movie maker which is so simple to use. So at first I wasn't even sure of what I was going to say in this video since my hair care routine is extremely simple, I don't use that many products compared to some other people and so I decided to include in the video a couple of extra tips on what you can actually do at home with a low budget to achieve a perfectly healthy hair. So en resumé : for damaged hair try out some smashed avocado as a mask that you leave on your hair for 5 minutes. Rinse it off and you can already see the incredible effect. For oily hair, add a litle bit of lime juicy in youe shampoo or in your rinse off water. Flat, thin hair type can try out beer shampoo to give it some extra volume.


The products I am featuring in this video are almost all from L'Oréal, I love the brand because they have so many different lines, different prices and every hair type can find it's perfectly adapted product. I have been using the Elsève Re-Nutrition shampoo for years now, such as the Nutrigloss conditionner. I can't leave for a trip without taking these two products with me because they are perfet for my hair and make them so healthy and silky, it's addictiv. Then I use a lot of different volume mousses, I 've tried a lot of different ones and two of my favourites are from Syoss and L'Oréal. If you take just a little quantity of mousse, put it on your hair after the shower while it is still wet and dry your hair with your head up side down, then you will achieve a gorgeous brushing/volume effect. 

I hope my advice helped you, as I said in the video I've decided to start making videos more often. I think vlogging is a great way to intereact with you guys, it is a more direct approach and I already have so much I want to share with you. Of course if you have any other question or video request please feel free to let me know and I would love to answer you in this post!

FLOWER PRINT SHORT

Pictures by James Vyn

SECOND DAY IN MONTREUX Doesn't it looks like I've just cut my hair in this very first picture? Well, just to let you know guys I didn't, guess I am still very attached to my long hair so it is simply hidden in the back. But I absolutely love the effect that the sun produced on my hair, it looks like my roots are lavender and then it makes a sunny degradé in my hair. Quite special isn't it? So this week-end James and I were away in Davos for a little project, you guys might have got a little preview if you follow me on twitter or instagram. But before showing you the pictures we shot there and before announcing you the cool news, I wanted to share with you those pictures we shot during our stay in Montreux last week. This place is heaven, it feels like I am miles away from home, on holidays in a compelety isolated country while I am actually 40minutes from my place. The weather was more than beautiful, Montreux has the particularity to have quite a different climat than the rest of the country because of it's geographical position.


I have chosen to wear for the day a new short I just got from ''In Love With Fashion'', I love how it is so delicate yet with this little twist of coulour which adds everything to the outfit. Matched it to a white blazer from Minusey, a Michael Kors wallet and some new Just Anna Shoes jellies, which the kind Anna was so kind to send me. Thank you again for this beautiful gift. I decided to go with a minimalistic look, no jewerly except of the Cartier Love bracelet which I obviously am not taking of since it is quite a special bracelet that requires a whole procedure to take it away. I don't know what I have with white shades lately, but I have been absolutely obcessing over them. Each time I'm shopping my eye instantly gets attracted to white colours. In need of purity and softness maybe. Enjoy the pictures and see you tomorrow!

INSTAGOODIES

LET'S TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT So I thought that this week instead of my traditional goodies post I'm going to make a little twist and prepare for you guys an instagoodies post (just because I'm lazy as hell and didn't have time to shoot goodies pictures). But obvisouly I've seen a couple of other bloggers do that and I thougth it was really cool and especially for those of you who do not use Instagram. I've become addicted to this little application, just because it is so easy to use but also you can share your day with thousands of people and follow the activites of your friends or favourites brands. So, if at first I was kind of like : yeah instagram it's for hipsters, it's just a huge buzz that will disapprear in a couple of months (which in fact might happen since Instagram was bought by Facebook). And so, now that I've tried it out I can definitely understand why it works so well and has so many addicts. It's all about sharing guys. So in case you folks don't use Instagram, I still wanted to share with you some of the pictures I have done these past couple of months. Hope you will like them, and you can of course follow me if you use the application, my name is @kristina_bazan. Wish you a lovely week-end folks and see you on monday for a new post. Enjoy!
