What’s A Bad Hair Day?
A few months ago I had my hair titivated with several Original Diva Exclusive Hair Inserts and gosh was that ever fun. When the near OCD-like shaking of the head and the shameless reflection gazing subsided somewhat, it dawned on me that with these nifty, clip-on, Silk Remy human hair inserts, there is really no longer a need for there to be such a thing as a “bad hair day” ever again. I’m liking that notion, absolutely! Original Diva offers you a “great hair day” with their three, Original Diva 100% Human Hair Extensions options:
Single Clip-on Highlights Offers you a burst of colour or a subtle high or low light to complement any hair tone.
Original Diva In a Box This is your full head of hair in multiple clip-on tracks of inserts that can be used as often as desired and inserted and removed in minutes.
Permanent Micro Ring System Original Diva’s Permanent Ring Micro System offers the wearer a keratin tipped end sitting close to the scalp attached with soft teflon coated beads for reduced scalp irritation. As your hair grows, a professional stylist can easily reposition the beads to the roots of the hair for ongoing wear.
Original Diva products are sold throughout Australia’s leading salons, but do be sure to visit the Original Diva Online store for so much more! *still flicking*

Kung Hei Fat Choy!
Happy Chinese New Year! No doubt many of you are enjoying day 3 three of this fantastic 15 day New Year’s celebration. The new moon on February 7th, 2008 heralded the start of a Ratty year. That’s right, 2008 is the year of the Rat. I wonder if this was what Buddha envisaged when he asked all the animals to meet him on Chinese New Year and only 12 came? But understanding Buddha and the smart and enlightened cookie that he is, this was all part of the plan. Buddha being the ever gracious host, named a year after each of the 12 animals to come to the party and announced that each person born in the year of one of the 12 animals would have personality traits that matched that of the year’s animal namesake with the Rat being the first. Luckily, according to Buddha and not James Cagney, the year of the rat doesn’t mean we can look forward to an influx of “you dirty rat”, but folks brimming with loyalty, passion, charisma, charm, and are very diligent and committed, demonstrating great leadership, and are trailblazers in their chosen fields.
Gosh, I never knew how cool rats could be. You would have thought that famous rats like Mozart, Churchill, Shakespeare, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mata Hari, Scarlett Johansson, Plato, Tolstoy, Sasha Cohen, Antonio Bandaras, and Samuel L. Jackson would of tipped me off, but no. But Beauty Marked! sure does now and is looking forward to enjoying the festivities for the next 12 days until the full moon, when the end of the celebrations come to a close with the phenomenal Lantern Festival on the 15th night. So many days, so many parties! We love it!
Beauty Marked! wishes you all the very best for the Chinese New Year and may this year bring you a glut of glutinous rice balls filled with all that your gorgeous heart desires and more. Kung Hei Fat Choy!
