Surviving Highschool: Friendships.

I just realised that my series like never really got up and running properly, I did one post and pretty much just stopped so I'm going to do this one really quickly since I'm home because I am so sick and had to drag myself out of bed this morning to go and have a shower and get ready for school, even though mum ended up telling me I could stay home! But, here's my next edition in the series. (:

So, in high school, you are most likely not going to stay with the same friends you had in primary/grade school or whatever you call it. But seriously, if you are drifting away from those friends don't like ignore them completely, tell them that you're changing and you don't feel the same about the friendship anymore or something like that. At the start of this year (beginning of the 9th grade for me) I started to drift away from a girl who was my best friend back then, and I never said anything to her, I started ignoring her pretty much, but she didn't make an effort with me either, but in the end, I'm pretty sure it hurt both of us for our friendship to end like that and right now I wish I could go back and tell her how I was feeling and what was going on and everything, but I can't and I don't think any of you, who ever reads this, should have to feel that way about a friend.
Also, you're obviously going to make new friends and discover who you are and who you want to be, so when you're figuring all this out, do not let anyone else make you think something else, it's your future, your life and not theirs. Make sure you love it, because if you don't, life and high school will be tough.
If a friend, whether they are old or new, starts dissing you and you know they're being serious, get out of that friendship right now! No body deserves to be insulted by someone, like yeah I insult my friends all the time, but they know I'm joking and I know I'm joking, like I absolutely adore my friends, they mean the world to me :)

So, I hope this was somewhat helpful even though it was full of me just rambling about stuff, but oh well.

My Life: An Update

I haven't been posting very often and to any one who is following me (if there is anyone, that is) I am so sorry! I will be posting a bit more soonish, but currently I have alot going on in my life. Since I'm not posting often, I thought I'd do a quick little update on my life!
This is my first week back at school for the second semester of year 9, I'm just getting into the hang of my new classes (my electives, they change each semester) which are: foods, photography (which I'm changing out into something else) extension maths, girls in sport and introduction to psychology.

I started working (part time, of course) not all that long ago, so most of my weekend up is taken up by work!
I've been making all these new friends, and meeting new people and having new experiences that I haven't really spent all that much time on the computer, let alone blogging, but oh well. So, this was really quick and well, pointless, but I was thinking that maybe I should post a picture so you all know what I look like and that I'm not some weird looking crazy lady who was nothing better to do than spend time on the computer? Yeah, that would be nice.
So, here I am!

MATRIX Biolage Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner: A Review.

Not long ago, I got a free sample of a shampoo and conditioner. Yesterday, I was cleaning up my room and I saw them sitting on my vanity and of course, I had to wash my hair today so I decided I'd use them instead of my other shampoo and conditioner. So, today, I went and used them.
What they were: MATRIX Biolage Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner.
Will I buy them: Most likely, if I can find them anywhere near where I live.

My review:
MATRIX Biolage Hydrating Shampoo.
I got this as free sample a while ago and finally used it today. I couldn't find it for ages, which was really disappointing because I was so pumped to try it out! But today, when I used it, I decided it was one of the best shampoo's I have ever used! It does make your hair feel incredibally hydrated, just like the title says (Biolage <i>Hydrating</i> Shampoo). I can't really say anything bad about this product because I absolutely love it! I'm thinking that next time I need a new shampoo, I won't go out and get my favourite Organix brand, I'll go out and have a look around for this one! But the one downside to it is the smell! Lot's of people find it 'pleasant' but I can't. I don't like the smell at all, but I am very thankful that it is only light and after about 45minutes after washing my hair, the smell has disappeared.

MATRIX Biolage Hydrating Conditioner.
I like this conditioner a lot, just like the shampoo. I loved the fact that when I had washed it all out, it felt so soft and hydrated it was amazing. I don't straighten my hair very much anymore, but my hair is naturally dry, but this seemed to add some life into my hair which I am really grateful for. When I got out, I put my hair into a centre part and pinned two parts back so they would curl and the rest wouldn't; usually, my hair goes stupid and frizzy when I do this, but it didn't this time which absolutely made my day! My bangs look so soft right now, and my hair feels incredibally good. I have three downsides for this product though, which I absolutely hate to say, but I need to say them anyway. When I got the conditioner out, it was so thick and gross I wanted to just wash it off my hands, but of course, I didn't. When I was trying to wash it out, it didn't seem to want to come out which meant I had to stay in the shower longer than I wanted trying to get it out, and I believe there may still be some in there. Last, but not least, I hate the smell. But like the shampoo, the smell is very faint and disappears quickly. I will most likely  by this product again because I love the finish it gave to my hair, I love how it feels soft and hydrated and the few bad things don't over rule the good things.

I hope you found this useful and I should be posting another entry tomorrow, tomorrow night or later tonight.

My July/Winter playlist!

I was listening to some old music the other day and some of the songs randomly took me back to memories, like last year for summer would be 3OH!3 - Double Vision, it was on the radio heaps and it was one of my favourite songs. Also, last summer was one of the best summers of my life, and I'm hoping the coming summer will be just as amazing!
But anywho, here is my July/Winter playlist!
Set the rain on fire - Adele
Last friday night - Katy Perry
You took the words right out of my mouth - Meatloaf
Someone like you - Adele.
California King Bed - Rihanna.
Live your life - T.I featuring Rihanna.

There just songs that have managed to be playing on my iTunes/iPod lately and well, that's what I'm associating winter 2011 with. Just a random post since I haven't done when in ages.
