I have been interested in trying out Lush Cosmetic's hair products for a while now, but I have been hesitant to just order it from their website not really knowing what I was getting into to. This past weekend I finally had the opportunity to go to a Lush store where I purchased three things: Curly Wurly Shampoo, Happy Happy Joy Joy conditioner, and R&B leave-in conditioner. My hair is naturally wavy/curly. It is probably more oily than dry, but I can typically go two days without washing it. I was lucky because the girl that helped me also had curly hair, so felt like I could trust what she had to say about the products.

Lush Cosmetics Curly Wurly

    Curly Wurly was the product that I was most nervous about using for the first time. The shampoo has real coconut shavings in it, this means that you are rubbing real shavings of coconut into your hair. That doesn't sound pleasant. The girl who helped me asked if I was okay with a shampoo that doesn't really lather, and I said I was up for anything even though deep down inside this made me nervous. She told me to make sure that I added a little water to the shampoo in my hand before I applied it to my hair. The next day when I took a shower I followed what she said. Right before I applied the shampoo to my hair I thought to myself, "Wait I'm actually about to rub this into my hair?", needless to say I hesitated for a moment. Finally I started washing my hair and was pleasantly surprised to find that the shampoo lathered like a normal shampoo. It also smells really good! My only complaint is the coconut shavings because that was really weird to me, but I always brush through my hair in the shower after I apply conditioner and when I did this most of them fell out with the exception of the few that looked like giant pieces of dandruff when I looked in the mirror.

Lush Cosmetics Happy Happy Joy Joy

    I was not too nervous to use Happy Happy Joy Joy because it really looks just like your regular ole conditioner. The smell is pleasant, very nice. I can't really decide though if I like it yet because I rely on my conditioner to help detangle my hair and this conditioner did that, but it did take a little more work on my behalf than usual. My hair also seemed more dry than normal after my shower.

Lush Cosmetics R&B

    I'm not exactly sure what to think of R&B. This is my first time using a leave-in conditioner and I was worried it would make my hair feel greasy. It didn't, but honestly I couldn't tell if it did anything. I applied only a little bit to my ends by scrunching my hair with it like I would if I was applying curl cream. It seems like a little goes a long way with this little pot.

The Results

    My hair seemed to have a drier texture than normal. It also seemed to be just a tad bit more frizzy. I am going to continue to use it and I will make a post a couple weeks from now updating y'all. Right now I feel like once I have used up all of what I bought I probably won't get anymore because I don't see much of a difference in how my hair is acting, so I don't want to continue to buy more because it is really expensive. All of this was about $75 and the containers are not that large for this price. I understand that for some people it is worth the money to be able to use natural products on their hair, but I don't think it is worth that much for me. 

Well once again the South has been over taken with a snow storm that it just does not know how to handle.  Thankfully I live in Athens, and we did not have a lot of traffic issues.  Unlike Atlanta...  It is insane how many cars were left stranded on the highway and how many people had to walk home or sleep in a CVS.  My cousin had to stay over night at her children's day care, while her husband was stuck on the road all night.  My aunt and uncle had to abandon there car, only four miles away from their house, and walk the rest of the way home.  The only problems I faced were that all of my classes got canceled, and my Polisci test got delayed to next week.  Well I guess those are not really problems...  Anyway, I thought I would take this winter weather as an opportunity to post about some of my favorite winter accessories.

I personally think it is really important to wear a hat or a scarf (or both) when there is cold weather.  A hat is really great because it keeps your body heat from escaping; your body heat escapes from you head and your feet, so keep those toes warm too!

This Free People beanie is great for the cold weather, not only does it keep you warm, but it is also stylish with the beautiful thick knit and the cute pom pom.

If you are not a fan of hat hair, you can always wear earmuffs!

These Free People Nico Earmuffs are so cute!  I own a pair and am in love.  They are perfect because they keep your ears nice and cozy, and the fur provides a nice stylish touch, while the band gives them a bohemian feel.  Plus they are kind of further back than normal earmuffs, making it so that that aren't protruding from your head, but they still cover your ears.

Next is an essential to any winter wardrobe, a scarf!

This Free People scarf is the best scarf I own!  I actually own two.  The other one may not be exactly the same scarf, but it is very similar.  It is so cozy and warm, I break it out immediately when the air starts to feel chilly.  You would not believe how many compliments I get when I wear either one. 

Well, I hope everyone is enjoying the winter weather wherever they are and that y'all are staying warm! Here are a couple pictures from my snowy day in Athens!

At my college nobody dresses up for class. There is the one occasional person who does, and sometimes that's me, but other than that pretty much everyone wears norts (nike shorts) and a t-shirt. This is a problem for me because after about two days of that I am sick of it and want to look cute, so I'll dress up, but on the days that I dress down I try my best to accessorize with fun things.

These fun headbands are from Free People. I like to wear them like a normal headband with my hair down or in a ponytail.

Emi-Jays are the perfect hair tie. They are gentle on your hair, plus they come in an array of colors that you can display on your wrist. 

I recently purchased these Tory Burch earrings on impulse when I saw them for the first time. It was one of the situations where I saw them and I had to have them immediately. 

This is my personalized water bottle that I bought from University Spirit, a store in Athens, Georgia. I personally love Camelbaks because you drink so much more water because of the straw, than you would with a regular water bottle. It is a necessity to have a water bottle when walking from class to class in the heat. 

I recently purchased this backpack on Zappos. It is Lesportsac and it is the perfect accessory for any class. Plus it doesn't rub my clothes like NorthFace one did.
