New Year New Vibes: January Nira's Hot List
Nira’s Hot List Contributed by Virgin Radio Morning Show Co-Host Nira Arora | @niraarora
It’s that time of year again my friends… the brand New Year! No pressure by the way! I’m honestly feeling a bit relaxed and chill with the ‘Presh’ game for 2022. Instead, I’m taking more of a ‘New Year… New Vibes’ approach. Notice how I made it plural? It’s not a ‘vibe’ its ‘vibes’. It was completely intentional. Why? To allow myself to make the changes as I want to make them and to adjust my vibes as I see fit. To intentionally be a bit easier on myself for 2022; the last couple of years have been a lot! Here are a few new vibe items to help us get started. Happy 2022!
Aashi – The Titanium Collection
I decided to chop my hair off for the New Year. Not sure why, but I did it. When you do something super drastic as I did, you realize that you may need some help with styling it. Let’s say HELLO to the new Titaniuam Collection from Aashi. It’s a game changer! This is probably the closest that you’ll get to achieving professional results with your hair at home. This collection by Aashi is easy to use, safe, and long-lasting. This curling iron is perfect for anyone who wants to improve their hair routine.
Each barrel can be heated to 450 degrees celsius, with a cool tip keeping the wand safe and titanium plates offering incredible heat transfer and durability.
A small digital screen can be found on the handle of the device, giving you information about the wand as you use it. Coupled with an automatic safety shut-off, this makes it nice and easy to use your wand without any danger. Titanium is well-known for heating up quickly and enabling stylists to get to work immediately.
A couple of feel good side notes about Aashi Beauty–they believe in giving back and with every purchase they donate $1.00 to help support Animal Rescue, they are women-owned and ethically sourced.
Muse - Heart Pom Toque
Time to have an honest moment with you – I’ve never been into hearts. Whether it’s for fashion, jewelry or décor etc. For some reason, I’ve always strayed away from hearts. Is there a deeper meaning to this? I have no idea. But instead of having a therapy session based on this, I decided to venture out and search for a cute ‘hearty’ item and give it a try. I had success at Muse Social Fashion House right in my hood of South Surrey. The Heart Pom Toque from Muse is the perfect accessory for this cold snap. It’s cute, it’s flirty, its faux and has just the right amount of hearts to get me started with my new ‘hearty’ adventure I’ve taken on. It comes in 3 colors: grey, black and pink. Warning I’ve had a few friends who have already asked me where it’s from, so it may be going going…
PS – I have a super soft spot for pom poms!
Vidanta Laser Spa - Celluma LED
I love supporting local and finding new hidden gems in the community. Vidanta Laser Spa is in the heart of Cloverdale and founded, owned and run by an amazing woman. I tried out the Celluma LED light therapy which I highly recommend. There are two wavelengths. Celluma’s award winning blue wavelengths kill the bacteria that cause breakouts, while reducing the inflammation, pimples and redness associated with acne. Celluma's red wavelength stimulate new collagen, cell generation to replace old cells, reduction and prevention of cell death and increased blood flow.
An overall improvement in skin appearance is often seen in only a matter of weeks. One thing I must warn it’s addictive! Not only did I have a little snooze during the session, but I had an immediate amazing glow. If you know me at all, you know I’m obsessed with anything that will give me a GLOW!
Innisfree – Dewy Glow Jam Cleanser
I love finding a great bargain – it gives me an actual chemical high for my brain. I’m not the only one, science says this can actually happen! If you are looking for high quality with an affordable price point then you need to look into Innisfree. I just leanred about Innisfree and was quite impressed with their mission of reliable ingredients, smart consumption, high quality matched with reasonable prices and their practice “eco-friendly green life” to preserve the wellbeing of nature.
In 2000 Innisfree launched as Korea’s 1st natural brand sourcing from natural benefits from JEJU island. I tried the Dewy Glow Jam Cleanser with Jeju Cherry Blossom. It’s jam-like texture leaves the skin feeling moisturized, plus its super fun! It’s also a very mild acidic cleaser to really get out all the impurities. It has brightening benefits from the Jeju cherry blossom leaves and smells amazing!
