Find out what The Official #TwitterPartyDJ is recommending this Christmas for the #Music Lover in your life! Seriously, @Bassbuds are like a concert in your ears!



Last year I had the chance to review a pair of earphones that were the closest to 'accessory nirvana' as I even imagined possible, I reviewed the Monster® Butterfly™ by Vivienne Tam with ControlTalk™ High Performance In-Ear Headphones and while I loved them, they died on me in one ear during a very long commute. Not Cool. I will tell you that Monster did make it right and replace them, but I was a bit surprised to have those die before their 1 year anniversary of commuting with me during my daily commute. I've had some cheapos last me way longer.

Because of my status as 'The Official #TwitterPartyDJ' I get a wide variety of pitches, directly from musicians (alas I wish I had the influence with the studios to help them more), labels, or music accessories. I'm often a bit leery when it comes to music accessories reviews, I am very picky/selective, I have a great ear, and I will be honest when it comes to my assessments, not all tech or tech gear are alike.

I'm also not ashamed to say the fashionista in me still wants a little form with all that function, but when it comes to music, at the end of the day, sound is and always will be King. Most of my DJ pals will only work with Over-the-Ear Headphones, and while I get that, my strong preference is in-ear earphones. No matter how well padded, I have yet to meet the headphone that doesn't press down on my ears and make them red. With earphones I'm able to adjust the size better and wear them longer.

I've been enjoying happy listening with a new pair of earphones that literally feel like it's a concert in my ear, and I mean that in a GOOD way. A very good way!

My Take:

When they say 'Noise Immersion' they really mean it! When I evaluate new earphones I take time to listen to music across as many genres/styles of music as possible, from Classical, to Jazz, to Rap, to Metal, Latin Music and more, and these literally bring out the sound in ways other earphones hadn't for me. I will warn you to put DOWN the volume on your device before putting these in your ears. And for me that is one of the perks to quality earphones, I can listen to my music on much lower settings, meaning I don't have to charge my portable devices as often when using these! I love the packaging, super sleek and sexy, and when you open it not only are the additional size tips for the earphones included on top, there are also extras right below them inside a carrying pouch you can use to store them while on the go. All packaged with a Certificate of Authenticity. And with their genuine SWAROVSKI Elements, they put the fashion and form into what is already an amazingly functional pair of earphones with amazing sound! They are hands down a perfect holiday gift for any audiophile/music lover in your life. Although I am sure you are going to be pretty hard pressed when it comes time to wrap them because you are NOT going to want to give these away! I will tell you they have a super light weight feel to them, but don't let the good looks fool you, there is serious sound under that 'pretty face'.

The Best 12 Minutes I've Spent in a Long Time!


I bet that title caught your eye! LOL - I recently experienced the absolute best 12 minutes of my life in the shower! And it was my first time too! My first time using Ouidad's 12 Minute Deep Treatment Intensive Repair that is.

It was actually my first time using any product in the Ouidad haircare line! And it was 12 minutes well spent! The weather is absolutely hot, humid, muggy and sweltering here in the city. Humidity and my hair have never been best friends, until now! I've experienced a drastic reduction in humidity hair troubles since using this product. I received it about a month ago and wanted to use it a few times before posting a review on it.

I have spent years fighting with my wavy hair. Don't get me wrong, I love the waves, I just always hated the frizz. The 12 Minute Deep Treatment Intensive Repair allows me to love my hair again WITHOUT the frizz. Anything that allows you to cut back on using heat styling methods in the summer is pretty much heaven sent if you ask me! It is just too hot to have a blow dryer aimed at my head!

You can buy it directly at Ouidad's salon or website and Sephora also sells this product and they take the words out of my mouth in describing it.

What it does: Ouidad 12 Minute Deep Treatment Intensive Repair works in synergy with heat, delivering a mix of proteins and aminio acids deep into the hair cuticle for serious restructuring and rejuvenating benefits. Bounce, pulse, and luster return as hair is optimally conditioned and able to perform.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:

-Sulfates
- Synthetic Dyes
- Phthalates
- GMOs
- Triclosan

What else you need to know: A curl's tendency to lose nutrients and moisture makes this treatment the single most important step in your haircare regimen.

This one has a permanent space in my shower! And I hope to try out more products soon. (They also have a new detangling comb I have my eye on! And I had no idea they had a Pomade) I know this is usually where you are looking to see the great giveaway. and yes that's coming, but this time, directly from the company!
