Omani beauty
Our course and holiday in Oman was awesome! So great and inspirational that I can't wait to get started with everything we learned. The course was organized for Swedish hairdressers by a Swedish company and everyone involved from the make up artist to hairstylist and photographer was Swedish and as Oman is a traditionally muslim country it was really hard to reach the local women.
The Omani people are really friendly and the country was so beautiful. As we flew over Saudi Arabia on our way there I was watching the amazing desert and then seeing Riyadh, a city in the middle of nowhere was so cool. Speaking to the local men was very interesting and they were really open and keen to tell us about their country but ladies... There were Omani ladies staying at our hotel as well but speaking to them was harder.
The traditional Omani dress for women is a long beautiful dress covering every inch of the body and a hijab (I apologize to any muslim reading this if I am using the wrong words). The men wear a long dress also covering the whole body along with a little hat. As the ladies cover everything but their faces, and sometimes their entire face, the eye make up is what they show off the most. Walking around a mall in Salalah I was amazed at the imagination of these women as they used all sorts of eye shadows and even stones and gems to really stand out.
Henna is seen everywhere and they paint beautiful intricate patterns on their hands and maybe other parts of their body that I could not see.
In the small beauty department in the mall I did find some organic body wash and body lotion but that was it, although I'd not be surprised if these women are as aware as we are about the importance of organic produce.
I'll give you an update on the course that was all about styling and make up for photo shoots as well as some current hair trends.

Oman
We are going to Oman for a week full of inspiration! Looking forward to speak to local women and visit their beauty shops. How do they shop for beauty products when they wear the burka? Are they interested in organic produce? I am so looking forward to find out!

Hamadi
Today I received a package with products that I ordered from Hamadi Beauty and they are gorgeous!
I used the Ginger Soy Milk Shampoo followed by Shea Hair Masque and finished it all off with a spritz of Healing Serum which had a lovely scent! My red tousled hair is a bit shinier and the shampoo didn't get rid of more red than usual which made me happy. Red can be such a nightmare sometimes as it quickly gets dull and washed out... but I love it and intend to keep it at least for the winter!
All Hamadi products are certified organic by Eco Cert. They do contain a few nasties but the quality is great as this label is oftentimes found on the shelves in hair salons and nothing is tested on animals.

Vanessa Megan organic skincare
Don't put anything on your skin that you wouldn't eat is Vanessa Megans powerful slogan. The products are completely organic and this Sydneysiders business is growing fast.
Living in Bondi A few years back I first came across the label at the Bondi market, and as I moved to my native Sweden I just came to think of it one day and ordered some products to finally try it out.
I bought the organic Spray Deodorant, Eye Cream, Rose & Chamomile Face Cream, N.E.O. Face Elixir, Love Scrub Body Scrub and Driftwood Body Spray and I am really satisfied with most of them.
My favorite is definitely the deodorant as it has kept smelling fresh for months now, and the body spray is lovely. Everytime I spray it around me I just feel so happy, balanced and at peace with everything! The creams and the facial oil are ok but nothing special and the scents are a bit too much for my taste. The body scrub is another favorite as the rose petals just makes it look so lovely in the jar! It also makes my skin soft like a babys.
