I am happy to report that I did not receive the genes from my Nana which saw most of her hair turn white by 24. Let it be known, though, that she ROCKED white hair! I mean, seriously, she was a beauty! Having said this, at the ripe ole age of 32, I am finding more and more grey hairs among my roots when my highlights begin to grow out. I have learned something…grey hairs march to their own drummer! They take over the landscape! They are coarse and crazy and I can’t say that I am a fan!

What do I do? Well don’t doubt that I RAN into the Loft & got Bruno to cover those bad boys! But they are in there, I know it…and they are planning a pre-emptive strike on my hair! They are planning to stand-up on end when I don’t want them to, and to break off in bad places like in my bangs & part line! How dare they?

I guess I don’t have a recommendation as to what to do about it. I am keeping faith in my Moroccan Oil to smooth out fly-aways. and hoping for the best! I just need to keep my regular appointment with Bruno to keep my hair it’s ‘natural’ colour!

So far I don’t have too many, but they are mounting an attack & showing themselves more and more with each overdue colour. Look out Grey’s, though you supposedly “show wisdom”, I am coming for you! It’s not going to be pretty!

Here’s an exciting article written by Cait Lafleche, a guest blogger & friend to Exclusive Beauty Boutique!  She writes here own blog at http://caitlinlafleche.wordpress.com/, but check out her candid & hilarious perspective on the beauty staple:

The Staple

Everyone has one.  The item that you can’t leave the house without.  The product that makes love to your face every day (the only holiday it takes is a tired Sunday).  If you had room for only one thing in your clutch before dashing out the door on a Saturday night, there it’d be: Your beauty staple.

Personally, my staple is mascara (with my eyelash curler coming in at a close second).  That wonderful lash transforming tube is the one thing I can’t leave the house without, it saves the day every time.

For example; I’m laying on the couch on a lazy afternoon with no plans to do anything.  Suddenly the phone rings and I’m given a five minute warning that somebody is dropping by.  It doesn’t really matter who it is, I debate whether to ditch the track pants immediately and throw my hair up until I realize that this debating has left me almost out of time.  It’s a mad dash to my makeup bag, and I quickly grab my mascara and take a swipe with that magical wand and I am immediately transformed.  I’m still in my track pants and my cowlick might look slightly ridiculous but that doesn’t matter!  I could be in a bikini in front of thousands of people after eating a tub of Ben & Jerry’s and a Big Mac, and I wouldn’t care because I’ve got my long luscious lashes. (Dramatic, I don’t think so! Exaggeration?  How dare you imply!)

Maybe it’s completely psychological, and you can tell me five million times that I’m beautiful without it (thanks Mom), but for me beauty is about being comfortable and if mascara is what makes me comfortable, then so be it!  I’m not about to preach about being ‘natural’ and ‘inner’ beauty to anyone, because my beauty is all about being happy with myself.

So, now that I’ve spilled about my undying obsession with mascara, what’s your staple?

Great article Cait!  We love mascara too!  Our newest line of mineral make-up, Jane Iredale, has a great one (pictured above)!  Do check it out!

We are excited to announce that we’ve added 2 new products to our Kérastase line!

Kérastase Chroma Thermique is designed to protect highlighted & sensitized hair from heat styling.

Kérastase Lait Volumactive is a daily lightweight conditioner designed to give volume to fine hair!

We love new products, especially when they come from Kérastase! YAY!

So, if you didn’t see them on season premiere episode of CBC’s hit series Dragon’s den, then maybe you haven’t heard of Mistura yet.  But, let me tell you, this may be one of the most buzzed about products we’ve ever carried on our site, and we’re pretty excited about it!  This product has sold out throughout Canada, and we’re having hard time keeping up with Demand!  If you want to view the video you can do so by visiting http://www.cbc.ca/dragonsden/video.html and choosing Episode 1!  Also, check out our announcement of this product back in August for our own feedback & insight…we LOVE it!  Buy it here!
