I watched the live stream from my home town, SYDNEY celebrating NYE…wow I must say…us Aussies now how to put on a show! Made easier by having the most beautiful harbour on earth…;) Awesome creative direction from Reg Mombassa of the Eighties Aussie cult band “Mental as Anything” You can see the whole show HERE
It´s fun that a touch of Sweden gets in on the act too! Its so cool that our most famous building is designed by a Dane and covered in tiles from…Sweden;)
The Sydney, NYE fireworks are world famous and a cool bit of trivia is that the guy responsible for them is on old classmate and my vice captain in the Manly Rugby League Under 13´s team…Good on ya Robert!
Anyway…I would love to thank you all for a fantastic and exciting 2013 and wish everyone health, happiness and prosperity as we head into 2014…full steam ahead and ready to rock!
This super cool dude was in my chair today…yep Mr Liam Levi Terry:)
We had YOU closed today for New Years Eve so we took the chance to pop in and cut Helene and Liams hair.
So nice to be able to cut the families hair…thats actually how Helene and I met in Manly Beach, Sydney 25 years ago…so its always extra special…the best clients to end the year with.
I love this shoot from the January issue of VOGUE Netherlands.
For me I really dig when 2 opposites meet to create a great synergy.
Thats exactly what has been created in this shoot with a real boy-girl, new-used, shiny-matt, strict-laid back mix of opposites…really creating a cool vibe.
I like how the hair takes centre stage by being so…laid back. Here it is really clear how hair can make or break a shoot. Try and imagine this shoot with super dressed hair….it just would be the same would it?
I usually get quite a reaction from a lot of deos and I just have to say…this on is in a league of its own…great for men, women and tweenies (Liam loves it)…works great…smells fresh and NO NASTIES like….Aluminium.
We have had a great day,,,especially one young man (as you can see;)
I know a lot of people really love snow at christmas but for us..the Terry family…today was perfect! Must be the Aussie blood…or maybe not…maybe a lot of people feel that way;)
Anyway…last year at home we had tons of snow and the ocean was frozen….this year we got a Christmas visit from the local Swan family:)
Today Alex was back in at YOU to get tidied up for Christmas:)
It was really a laugh too…you see a while ago Alex introduced me to his partner in crime Sigge Eklund and I started cutting his hair….nothing strange about that….although Sigge and I really found each other and get on SUPER well ( so do I and Alex;) but….Sigge and I have really hit it off fast and…he has this amazing hair…its become a little issue…
See below;)
The truth is…I love them both equally…(even if Sigge does have better hair than you Alex;)
Just over a year ago Me and Helene created and founded the YOU way.com
Now the team have asked me to choose 6 of my FAVO products for my own Blog up store in which I can make a special offer to YOU..my online friends!
So…the way I chose was simple….I thought like this….if I had to only ever have 4 items to create the best hair I could (apart from my scissors and comb)…which 4 items would I choose? Well you see them below…all amazing in their own way…the best of the best!
Then I thought personally…which 2 products do I have at home that me and the family use every day…and really love?..well it turned out to be my 2 favourite products from my favourite Australian Brand…the awesome…Aesop! Not just because they are super stylish and smell…amaaaazing but they really are special to use! (a lot of peoples favourite Aesop products!)
Really if you haven´t tried them…DO IT! You want be disappointed…promise!
Here´s the good part…if you buy any 2 items…you receive a 50% discount on the cheapest one! Take a look below…
Psst…there is really money to be saved here folks….So go for it!….Happy Christmas shopping…..starts…..HERE
Last night Helene said to me ” Have a look at Petra Tungårdens blog” with a wink in her eye and handed me her computer…
Helene does that all the time…we have been married for 25 years now and the whole time she has known exactly what gets me going;)
This time it was an inlägg about some artwork made out of light boxes…
Well…I freaked! The second I saw them I said “they are sooooo us…I mean…YOU!” and got on the phone that second to Petra , who knows the artist!
We have had this exact thing in mind for years but this was the first time we have seen this IRL.
“Petra…I need to meet the artist…NOW…can you fix it”? I said.
Turns out she was meeting her today…so I asked if I could tag along…I did.
See…Do…;)
We met with Daniela Upmark. She has a company called bxxlght and she designs an array of different light boxes that are sooo cooool!
In a number of sizes, some with fixed wording and others…like this one…that you can change the wording on.
Anyway…Daniela is a super nice girl and we clicked immediately! I love working with nice and energetic people so we decided there and then that we should…work together!
Literally 15 minutes later…this Baby was at YOU and there are more to come:)
So…if you like what you see..come down to our pad and check these babies out…even better IRL!
I was down there for a really exciting meeting so…we decided to make a family trip of it:)
Helene and I have been to london countless times for work and pleasure and Liam has been to London loads of times too but it was a while ago so it was like it was a new adventure for him!
Wow…we had so much fun and because England is very much a part of our family heritage…it was extra special!
Liam climbed up on to one of the Lions at Trafalgar Square and snapped this one! He is a Leo so we call this one “Two Lions”
Too true;)
Love London..so inspiring…so much to see…so awesome!
