That weird uncomfortable silence leaks onto the internet

You know what is really creepy? People who google my full name and come across my blog. Isn't that what facebook is for? Come on lurkers, say HELLO! Blog stats are starting to make me feel weird.

Product Review - DAVROE

While we are on the topic of hair, here is what I use on my crazy locks

Davroe are an Australian made and owned company who show that they care about their customers and the environment by using sustainable, recyclable packaging. Their ingredients are natural plant and mineral based and don't contain and harmful chemicals or cheap and nasties like SODIUM LAURYL SULPHATE,  PARABENS (which have been linked with some form of cancers) or PETROL CHEMICALS (which are a crude oil by-product).

Davroe are a 100% vegan friendly company. This means they don't use any animal ingredients or by-products AND they are against testing on animals too!

So now that their bio sounds great, how do their products rate? I would give them a 10/10 for sure. 

I have been using the smooth senses range for about a year, I was a previous De Lorenzo user, but am definitely a Davroe convert now. 

As a girl with a crazy pseudo afro I have to straighten my hair every day and with that amount of abuse you would expect my hair to be falling out and damaged as hell. NOPE! I use the Thermoprotect on my wet hair before I blow dry and iron it to give it that extra protection and to style my new short cut i use Fibretex which gives it fantastic texture and holds nicely. If my hair starts feeling a bit dry i put on a replenish treatment. EASY!

All of these products smell so good and unlike the DeLorenzo which left my hair greasy, I only have to wash my hair every other day now. 

Davroe is amazing. Check out their website and see which product best suits you. It is salon grade shampoo, so it will be a little more costly than supermarket brands but it is definitely worth it.

Hair-spiration

Always 2 steps ahead of the current fashion, I have decided that bobs are out, out, OUT! The new hair-to-do will be a fresh pixie crop coloured lavender, teal or fairy floss. Summer fun and delicious to look at. Inspired by Edie Sedgewick, Michelle Williams and whatever googled pulled up when i searched pixie crop!

Cherry Ripe Cake Re-Invention

So, last night I reinvented my Cherry Ripe Cake into cupcake form. I am the Madonna of baking.

I donated them to the Vegan Bake Sale in Newtown and they were bought up in minutes! Very exciting for me! Of course I never remember to take a good photo, so here is a dodgy iphone pic instead.

RSPCA CUPCAKE DAY 2010

Once again, I will be participating in the annual RSPCA Cupcake Day.
Last year I raised about $200 and this year I aim to raise even more. You can donate money to sponsor me and if your donation is generous enough I may even bake for you personally on request!
*All my cupcakes are vegan and cruelty free*
No animals should be harmed in order to help other animals!

You can donate here and leave a comment if you would like something baked in return!

Sunday Kind of Love

In 5 weeks time we will be moving in to our new house. I am beyond excited that we will have a massive kitchen with a fantastic oven and stove top. I have started collecting pictures of things that have been inspiring me to get back into baking.
Here are a few things that are teasing my tastebuds right now

One of my absolute favourite Flickr People is Amy. I want to eat everything she bakes and takes photos of. I would move to America for this reason alone! I suggest you check out her Flickr.
