GUCCI RUSH

Oooh... This is one of my all time faves for a fall fragrance.  If you haven't smelled this perfume before you are in for a treat!  It is a rich, warm, musky scent with hints of gardenia, vanilla and patchouli.  It reminds me of fall and my youth... It reminds me of wool socks and pumpkins and dried leaves... It reminds me of chilled wind in the leafless trees...

I usually get my fumes from Shoppers Drug Mart because they are conveniently located everywhere, open late,  and have a very good selection of designer perfume.  If you find that you don't change your scent by the seasons, check out this fragrance... It's kind of nice to smell the way you think a season should smell like...  Fall is my favorite season and Gucci Rush is one of my all-time fave fall fumes....  Wonder why...?  Might be the orange shade of the container, or might be the birthday season, all I really know is that's the fresh perspective...

MACADAMIA NATURAL OIL Deep repair masque

So because of the impending weather coming I thought it might be appropriate to review this masque.  I feel as though folks want to treat their hair AFTER something is wrong versus treating it regularly.  This masque is a great addition to your 'winter' hair routine.  During this season,  a good heavy treatment can be done every two weeks to maintain your hairs moisture and condition.  When things get warmer it would be a good idea to change up the treatments and go with something lighter for the sunny months.  But alack, and alas, there are no sunny months in our horizon and it's time to accept that the cold is coming...

If you have very fine hair, you may use this product but just use it sparingly.  If your hair's are thick just use a bit more.  It's a pretty good sized jar and I would say that one jar should last you for the cold season.  So, don't wait for things to get frizzy before you take action.  That's the fresh perspective...

HAIRBODY

So, this product is perfect for fine haired folks, short haired folks and yeah...folks.  It is a very light hair care spray that adds a bit of body/volume, moisture and freshness.  It is a level one for hold so you won't be able to achieve a 'style' using this spray.  If your hair is fine and unruly this spray will not be able to tame your locks, you will need something with more heaviness and moisture.

This product, in my opinion, is okay and I don't reach for it often but every once in a while someone will sit in my chair that would need this particular styling aide.  That's all I got, that's the fresh perspective...

Style Manitoba Magazine

Freshair Boutique has a unique opportunity to show you what we are up to in Style Manitoba Magazine.  This magazine has been a part of Winnipeg's local literature for 15 years!  It covers everything from homes to restaurants and everything in between.  You can discover us on their hair editorial page and we attempt, in every issue, to inspire the readers of this mag to try something new and fresh.

There are four issues a year that coincide with the seasons... The upcoming issue will be 'fall' and then the holiday issue (my ultimate fave) will feature something timely for the holiday season.  We aim to try to shake things up a bit and show images that are completely outside the box...  Our summer issue featured Christy Donald with a ton of highlighting papers in her hair...  She was pumping up the color for summer and we wanted to show a different take on a 'summer look'.

We urge everyone to flip through the pages of this magazine to see what fun images we come up with and to see what's up and coming in 'Peg city.  Between our new museum, airport, rapid transit, stadiums and new NHL team, Winnipeg has so much more to offer these days and reading Style Manitoba Magazine is a great place to begin to explore our fantastic city.   If you haven't read this mag yet then do it soon and if you have been reading it, thanks for supporting Winnipeg!  That's the fresh perspective...

EAR CANDLING

Ok, I did it.  I candled my ear.  It was incredible.  Here is what went down...  (don't view if you're a queezer...)

So the candling thing, I believe, is good.  I had to stop cleaning my ear with a q-tip on Dr's orders and this method was satisfactory.  1) It had a weird smell  2) The wax tubey thing didn't really go out when you blew it  3) Paper plate is better than aluminum  4) Some wax did get on me and it was quite hot  5) I couldn't get a comfortable position

It was highly bizarre but I would do it again with a few minor tweaks.  Thanks to Yadili for not letting me candle alone, and no, my hearing is not better.  I'll do it again though. That's the fresh perspective...
