T H E F A Q
Q: How do you get your hair so white and in good condition?
A: I use regular pharmacy $15.00 bleach - pre-packaged, I also tone it with a purple shampoo made specifically for blondes every week, Paul Mitchell is my favourite. Every time I wash it, I leave my conditioner in for at least five minutes. I use “Tresemme” Moisturising Conditioner with aloe vera and avocado, and before I blow dry and straighten I spray it with “Enjoy” Conditioning Spray.
For hair products, I never use ones tested on Animals. Neither should you.

Q: Can you name the shows specifically?
A: I would prefer not to, but if you recognise me from different ones - you’re probably right.
Q: Why aren’t you acting anymore?
A: When I moved to LA, I really saw the industry and started to question if striving so hard, being evaluated over and over again and most likely failing - would make me happy. I realised I just want to be a creative person and dye my hair blue and have a cat and a love and build a fashion brand and get tattoos and write and garden and learn and just constantly be inspired.
I am so much happier now than I have been in a long time.
Q: Why do you know bands?
A: I lived in LA, and a few of my friends are in bands. I also work in the music industry sometimes, so I go to a lot of ‘after parties’ and know a lot of people through that.
Q: What is your sexuality?
A: I don’t discuss my sexuality on my blog - to me, sexuality is irrelevant and should be a complete non-issue.
Q: Why do you unfollow people?
A: Generally for glorifying drug use, but also commonly for laughing in the face of Vegetarians and people trying to help save other living beings through their own selfless acts. Also, supporting homophobia, racism, sexism or any other type of discrimination.
Occasionally, it will be because you have posted something that has REALLY upset me or grossed me out. Or, we just don’t have anything in common and I am confused as to why I am even following you.
Please keep in mind, I follow hardly anyone on here. My blog is 90% original.
