VS Sassoon Ultimate 230 Nano
I've been meaning to buy a GHD Hair straightener for awhile because I usually get my hair chemically straightened and that costs around $200 so I thought might as well spend $300 and skip the salon fees. So I went to search for a shop that sold the ghd, I started off with the Shaver shop at Garbo and the lady told me that they didn't sell the GHD, however, the VS Goddess is just as good as the GHD and has more functions such as; a variable temperature, it has steam which supposedly keeps the hair moist & conditioned, and it's only $199.95. So instead of getting sucked into her marketing speech, I went home to research the VS Goddess and the reviews were not bad.
Then one lunch break, I was approached by a Corioliss person at one of the kiosks at Garbo and he offered to straighten my hair to show off the Corioliss hair straightener and it was pretty good. He told me that it was the next GHD, but of course they would all say that... Anyhoos, it was supposed to be $300 but apparently it was some anniversary so they were selling it for $250 except he said because I worked in the centre he would give it to me for $240. The hair straightener had movable plates, was ceramic, ionic and came in many prettyful colours, but the highlight of buying the straightener was if you brought the receipt back to them, they'll straighten or curl your whole head for free FOR 12 MONTHS!!!!! You could go back everyday and get them to do your hair!!! I was almost won over but I got Rob to check the reviews on the internet before impulse buying and apparently it only had 3.5/5 stars so I didn't end up buying it.
After a week of speculation and research, and between torn between which hair straightener to get when I just wanted to get a GHD but after learning so much about a hair straightener I went to try out the VS Goddess at the caro Shaver Shop. The lady there suggested that the goddess was very bulky and it was a hassle to replace the water for the steam all the time which was true. I also tried out another straightener call Kodo but I didn't really find anything appealing about it. On my walk to the car, I went past Harvey Norman and decided I will get the VS Goddess because I liked the fact that it would keep the hair moist and the GHD didn't have an ionic feature. The lady that helped me out at Harvey Norman was just the right person to talk to, she owned a GHD, a VS Goddess and a VS nano! She got the GHD for $200 from her friend that worked at a hair salon or something and she said the moving plates pulled her hair out and made her hair really dry. The VS Goddess was not bad, her friend loves it but it was too bulky and the steam must not be good for the hair. So she suggested the VS nano which had a 3 year warantee and only the GHD, VS Goddess and the VS nano had a 3 year warantee. It was exactly what I was looking for, it was ceramic, ionic, not bulky, had variable temperatures, had longer plates which is good for my abundance of hair. It was selling for $170 but the lady put it down for $150 for me!!
Outcome: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!

I don't know any store that actually sells rabbit clothing because rabbits are not meant to wear any clothes but these dog clothes fit just fine and they're absolutely adorable! The dog is a better model!

Ok, not really a makeover, more like, trying out my new straightener! For those of youse that know me, my hair is really frizzy and wild so I like my hair straightened so it appears to be thinner and more tamed.
It can also curls the hair really easily. Will write about that later when I get the time.

A belated post I've been meaning to put up, now on Christmas Island, escaping the wet winter of Perth. Look at my cherry tomato plants!! They were the size of my palm when I bought them, now they're huge and blossoming with green tomatoes! I'm so very excited. Hopefully when I get back I will have a bunch of red tomatoes so I can make some yummy tomato soup!
First two tomatoes!

I've been on practical at Mercy Hospital for the last three weeks, (one more week to go!), and the boss there has a Korean wife so he recommended the Korean restaurant on Francis St in Northbridge and I decided to take my Mummy there to try it out!
It was fairly quiet when we went because it was like 2 in the afternoon however I hear it gets pretty busy in the evenings.

At Yueh Lai's & Winnie's 21st, held at the Gold bar, hidden in an alleyway off Rokeby Road. Very small venue but great for a 21st. They have a bed lounge and they sell shisha pipes!
Got many kisses from Yueh Lai :D
Happy Belated to Chie, who had a dinner at Terraza's in Subiaco. Lovely 3 course set menu in a remote area upstairs away from the rest of the customers with its own bar.
Happy Belated to Shibby, who had a house party and turned her garage into the best dancefloor ever! It had those green and red lights and strobe lights as well!
My brother is into photography at the moment and has given me his 'old' dslr to upgrade to a 50D. Weeee!~ Now I just have to learn how to use it :)
