The blowout games: Catching Fire

An hour ago I was happily blow drying my hair. Nothing unusual, everything was a-o-kay. Until my hair caught fire. Yeah, you read that right, it caught fire. Like, legit fire. How the hell is that even possible? Was able to put it out immediately, but it kinda smelled burnt for a while though. Luckily for me: there's no damage to be seen.

But back to the important part here: my hair caught fire. Fire. (I can't stress this enough). Let's investigate how that shit could happen. Was it the blowdryer? No, I was looking in the mirror at the time and saw the whole thing happen: it was my hair. The blowdryer's fine. Of course it's fine. It's a murderous device, I'll never look at it the same way. Maybe it was my conditioner, could it have been flammable? I'm being paranoid, it wasn't. Was the heat simply too hot to handle? That along with some friction and direct contact with my hair? Who knows. I'll take comfort in the fact that this has happened before to other people (according to Google anyways). But take note my fellow readers: be careful with your hair devices, because you never know when it's gonna turn on you.

CHUBBY STICK LOVE

Thanks to my sister, I am now aware of the fact that there is such thing as a chubby stick. What's that you say? Oh, it's only the best invention ever. A chubby stick is a moisturizing lip color balm created by Clinique. So it's a lipstick and lip balm combined. Which is great news, because I'm one of those unlucky people with dry lips and an addiction to lip balm. So whenever I put on lipstick, it just looks dry and crumbled after a mere hour. But no more, I can finally put on a color without looking dehydrated! Yes! YES!


There are two different versions of the Chubby Stick: the 'normal' one ("Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm", see image below) and the more intense one that brings out a stronger color ("Chubby Stick Intense Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm", see image above). I purchased "Curviest Caramel" from the intense line and it's amazing. (I sound a bit crazy, I know, but I really love it. Obviously.)
