Hi all! I have a very special and out of the ordinary post today as I have a giveaway! Stop if you think 'ah I never win anything' because times are changing as I have seven prizes oooo.
If you read lots of blogs, you may see people going off to Aussie Hair Care parties and adventures and I always though, I wish I was invited! Well it seems you can actually apply to be an 'Angel' and I did just in time for this theme - Any excuse to party! As it's 110 years since Australia became a country (literally any excuse to party right!), they are having a huge bonanza in London this October and are celebrating with limited edition packaging covered in fireworks. I received a Summer Party pack after much hunting and waiting for the postman, and seven of you will receive a Summer Party Pack too!
They will include an Aussie product of your choice in the limited edition packaging, from the Take the Heat, Miracle Moist and Luscious Long collections. Then one winner across all the Aussie blog giveaways will win TEN tickets for them and their mates to a huge Aussie party in October in London with all the Aussie Angel bloggers! If you are a blogger, this will be an event not to be missed.
So to win one of seven Aussie-versary Summer Party Pack prizes and be in with the chance of attending the big party, just comment here telling me something you are celebrating! This giveaway is quite well timed as I am going to celebrate loads on the weekend as my friend is visiting who just actually spent months away in Australia, yay! So what do you have to celebrate? It can be big or small; maybe you've over the moon with your A Level results, maybe you got a bargain in the reduced supermarket section, maybe you got a text from that guy! Everything counts! I will draw out of a hat I think as I am terrible at making a decision, let alone seven.
I don't usually run giveaways as this blog is more like a diary and I don't really 'push' it out there, it's just happy in its own little internet corner! However Aussie do incredible things for their campaigns, they're really impressive and I haven't used their products in years; I did when I used to straighten my hair as a fresher four years ago! That smell of the Frizz 3 Minute Miracle haunts me from then but I am trying out the Take the Heat products now, yum.
So what are you celebrating right now? Check out the Aussie collections to name your favourite product in your comment too and don't forget to leave your email address or Twitter so I can contact you if you win! You only have 24hrs so this giveaway will end at 10pm on Tuesday 23rd August! I'm sorry, this is only open to UK mainland residents, Aussie's rules! Good luck!
P.S. OMG on the Aussie site I just spotted they have a weather forecast you can download which warns you of frizzy hair weather! I check the weather every day without fail to dictate my outfits and apparently tomorrow has 46% humidity so I'd better overload on serum tonight! I just washed my hair as I went to the gym and holey moley am I going to hurt tomorrow! I thought their 'legs, bums n tums' would be more of a classic church hall-type class but it was so hardcore and I can barely walk!!
I'm celebrating having a second interview for a potential job this week! I've been looking for months and i'm so happy to finally have a chance to earn some cash :D
Hope i win, i loooove the smell of Aussie stuff!

My favourite product is the Dual Personality anti-frizz+conditioning milk. My hair is super curly and I can't do a thing with it unless I have this product.
Thanks!

Hi Selina :) I'm a long time reader, but first time commenter.
I'm celebrating Australia's 110th anniversary of becoming a nation! Just kidding. I'm not entering as I'm actually Australian, which makes me ineligible, but just wanted to say that we don't actually have Aussie hair care here. Ironic, right?
Since I'd never heard of it I gave it a quick google and found out that apparently it's an American company, and now owned by Procter and Gamble, so apparently it's no longer cruelty free by association. Just thought I'd let you know these tid bits of info because I know you're an animal friend, and well, the Aussie thing is just interesting haha

Hi Selina! What a lovely prize. My Aussie must-have-can't-do-without is the 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner for Coloured Hair - as a bottle platinum blonde my hair sticks together like Barbie locks when wet (seriously, yuck) and this makes it super soft. Love the Miracle Moist too, mostly for the same reasons...
This week I am celebrating leaving my incredibly boring and unfulfilling day job and going off to be ultra broke pursuing my dream of becoming a radio producer. Friday is my last day, and I can't wait to not be stuck behind a desk any more.
Love your blog, I've been reading since pre-Sweden!

I'm celebrating finishing college and moving across the country to go to university in Brighton :)
I can't live without the colour mate range from aussie as it keeps the colour in my hair for so long and conditions my damaged hair!
