So I went and had my first cut and colour at Civello (after reading reviews for it on Chick Advisor, of course!) I was getting a really drastic cut (about 6 or 7 inches off) and I first went in for a consult with a stylist and colourist. I showed them the example picture I had, and they told me how they would cut it and what would work with my hair etc.....The consultation was free, and I made my appointment and left feeling pretty good about the cut. I went back the next day and Mia (the stylist I'd consulted with) got to work. She didn't talk that much about anything except what she was doing with my hair (she kept me very informed throughout, and before she put my hair in the ponytail and cut it off, she asked me if I was sure, and if I was okay which I thought was considerate.) Anyway, i was glad she wasn't too chatty because I often feel that hairdresser/client chat can sometimes be forced and really awkward. It's fine once you've seen them a few times and have a relationship, but for the first time, it's awkard if they just ask you a million questions about your life. Mia was very careful about the cutting, and did a really good job with the layers and blow dry/flat ironing - it looked just like the picture I had brought in.
Colleen did my highlights, and she was also very good. I had never had highlights before, and I wanted to make sure they were subtle, but that it actually made a difference in my hair colour. I got exactly what I wanted, and I found that Colleen was really friendly, genuine and easy to talk to.
In terms of the price, it was way more than I ever pay to have my hair done, but I knew that going in. Because it was such a drastic cut, and my first time with highlights, I wanted to make sure I had quality people working with my hair and I definitely received professional, high quality treatment. Also, an extra bonus was that they gave me a gift card for $10.00 off my next service because I was a first time client. All in all a very good experience at Civello - I would certainly recommend it, especially if you're getting a totally new style and/or colour.

Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin

This book is SO much fun to read if you're looking for fluffy chick lit. You love to hate both Darcy and Rachel and their various decisions and behaviours. By the end though, you feel sad to say goodbye to them. The follow up to this (Something Blue), is also pretty good, but I found it wasn't quite as funny as this one... -

This book is fantastic. Jodi Picoult's character development in all of her books is amazing, but I found myself empathizing with the characters in this book much more. It is such a compelling read (as are most of her books), and I was actually sad when it was over. Would recommend it to anybody that loves a great read.... -
Maybelline New York Lash Stiletto Mascara
I love love LOVE this mascara. It adds amazing length, lasts forever and never clumps. It's probably the best, most long lasting mascara I've ever used. Well worth the $10.00!
