Hair coloration

Hey guys! I decided to dye my hair again, this time a little darker. It took me a very long time to choose a color... Seriously you can not imagine how many times I walked in drugstores, starred at the color variation and went out again. Even my friends got annoyed by me ... It was always the same thing, whether that color was to golden/red/dark/cool/warm etc or just not my taste. Finally though, I chose

Honeybrown 54 by Poly Palette - permanent natural colors 

Brown Richness

While I dyed my hair, my mum thought it would turn out black. She scared the hell out of me... but fortunately, everything went fine. So if you try it out too, don't be scared that your hair look very dark at first.

As you can see, the color turned out more red, which I really like!!! <3 

If you're wondering why it looks more golden blonde at some spots, it's because of my bad bathroom lighting... that's why the pictures don't show the "real" color unfortunately...

As you can see, my hair looked way more blonde-redish before and really bright compared to now. I love the result, since I wanted to have a "real brown" color, not too blonde but not too red. I'm glad that I picked this color. Since I dyed my hair in the evening, I couldn't take a picture in natural lighting, but I will do it soon!

All in all, this product kept his promises. You'll get what you see on the picture. The coloration mix isn't itchy or "burning" at all. In fact, it feels very comfortable. I'm really content with this product and I would definitely repurchase it again, if I'm looking for a good natural looking brown!

I hope this short "review" was helpful and fun to read (cough cough) 

Until next time, take care everyone!

Shopping Tour

As promised here are some pictures of my shopping tour :-)

My mum and my little sister joined me and later my brother and his gf too.

My mum wanted me to get the cardigan in the second picture, because it looks so elegant...what do you think?

I tried on this creme asymmetric top and I loved it! I ended up buying it. I got another creme dress/long shirt but I didn't take a picture of it.

Obviously, we needed a break of our exhausting shopping tour :-P

Weirdos on the streets

...Oh btw did you see that girl's waist? It's crazy tiny!!!

Okay, that's it for today. I hope you guys enjoyed!

So true...

Jade Buddha - Chua Vien Giac, Hanover

I finally get to write my post about the Jade Buddha festival celebrated in Hanover, Chua Vien Giac.
It's the world biggest Buddha statue made of Jade. People from everywhere (Swiss, France, Norway...)  have assembled at the temple to welcome and honor the statue for 10 days.
For me though, the first day was the most important one because guess what, I was the MC for the opening ceremony wohooo...but as expected I failed haha Well, actually I haven't done too bad but it could have been better right? Although, I was pretty nervous I've enjoyed it. I mean, come on there were thousands of people starring at you, waiting for you to make a mistake. You also have to keep in mind that everything was recorded....sigh see what I mean? Nevertheless, it was pretty funny especially when everyone goes like: Were you the MC? Can I take a picture with you?!

It was reeaaally worth it and I can not thank my master enough for gaving me this opportunity. Thanks to him I could gain more self-confidence and got an unique experience...not forget to mention all the professional pictures YAY :-P :D

Kayla's school festival

Sigh...It's been a very long time I haven't updated my blog. Sorry guys!

I'll try my best to keep my blog although I'm back in GERMANY. It's easier said than done, because everything here seem so normal to me ...

Anyway, this entry will be very short. I'm not gonna write a lot, actually that's it haha

I'm only gonna show you guys some pictures of me and my family :D Enjoy!

Last but not least .... *drum rolls* my super long summer dress tadaaaaa

What is your summerdress for 2011?

Home Sweet Home

... Looong time no see...
Sorry guys, I've just been so busy lately - no time for blogging.
The reason for is...*drumrolls* 12th June was my homeflight. Yes, I'm back in Germany.
My highschool year has come to an end and although I'm happy being home again, I feel very sad leaving all my new friends behind in Canada. Also, Stanley Cup (Hockey) was on and Canucks, Vancouver made it into the Finale but unfortunately they lost against Boston 4:0 and did not win the Stanley Cup) ...I tell ya, only because I wasn't there to support them ... no joke! :-P

Right now I'm in Chua Vien Giac, Hanover - a buddhist pagoda. Have you ever heard of the Jade Buddha? It's the world biggest Buddha Statue and it will come to Hanover from 18th to 26th June, 2011. Everyone is busy with work, whether decoration, cooking or cleaning. Everything must be perfect, so that this festival can be a success.

 It's 12.26pm right now and I try to write as much as I can, since my mum told me to shut down my laptop at exactly 12.30pm, because I have to get up tomorrow to pray "Kinh Lang Nghiem" which starts at 5.45am. I really missed praying with the Sangha... all their power and spirits are united as one. Really awesome!

Hmm I gotta sleep now.  I only have one minute left oh oh... haha. Hopefully I have enough energy to start a new busy day tomorrow :-)

Have a nice day/night everyone!

Bell Acne Treatment #60

I finally get to write the review about the high-rated acne treatment by bell. I bought it after reading various reviews, that were all positive - mostly saying that acne disappeared in only 2-3 days...but honestly I have to disagree.

What it claims:

GET HEALTHY CLEAR SKIN WITH BELL LIFESTYLES HELP FOR SKIN DISORDERS.
Finally, support for adult acne that really works! Help For Skin Disorders by Bell Lifestyles helps to optimize clear skin by working as a blood cleanser and lymphatic purifier. Containing oregon grape root, sasmparilla extract, neem extract, and more Help For Skin Disorders is addition to your skin supplement regimen.

Suggested dosage:

2 capsules 3 times per day. It get rid of your acne by cleaning your blood with only organic ingredients. Each capsules contain Oregon grape root extract, bitter sweet extract, sarsaparilla, juniper berries, neem extract. Information :  http://www.nationalnutrition.ca/detail.aspx?ID=3710 

Personal Impression:

When I first opened it, I noticed a smell of all the natural ingredients, but it wasn't that bad. However it wasn't that easy to swallow those capsules, since they weren't tiny. I mean look at the picture...they're huge... okay, okay I might exaggerate a little bit. Anyway, my body didn't react to this treatment in any way so I continued using it. I also took some pictures before and after, but since there is no result I decided not to post it. I am pretty disappointed about this product since I bought it for around $30+ Tax. Although Bell guarantees a refund if unsatisfied but the whole process of shipping it, waiting for a response etc... I just kept it and wanted to share my experience with you guys.

Actually I don't know what to say more about it, except that it's was a total waste of money. I don't know if it's only me, but for my friend, it didn't work either. So ya... I don't know if the reviews and statement about this product being a miracle are true or not, but for me unfortunately it's NO

I hope this review was kinda helpful and I think that my review might be the only negative one in the internet cheche :-P If you have any questions, please let me know and I will try my best to answer them.

P.S.: Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of acne? What are you guys using? 

I heard that the Drying Lotion by Mario Badescu is supposed to be very good. (youtubers: nguerriero19 and frmheadtotoe) Since one bottle cost $17 I'm not  rushing to get one... since it's pretty pricy.

Right now I'm just watching my diet and eat a lot of fruuuuiiits. Watermelon and strawberries and water ofc :-)

Lin YAY!
