Win a VS Sassoon Curl Secret with Limited Edition Butterfly Travel and Storage Bag by Gail Elliott for Little Joe Woman valued at RRP $172.95
As part of its successful Guest Artist Program, VS Sassoon has joined forces with super-model and respected fashion designer Gail Elliott to create a bag for its extraordinary Curl Secret. The bag features a gorgeous and luxe butterfly design chosen in the words of Elliott “because a butterfly is beautiful and sophisticated, well travelled, free spirited and adventurous. A butterfly is also delicate but strong, transformational, full of surprises and regularly defies the odds. We felt that was exactly the kind of woman who would use the Curl Secret.”
The innovative one-of-a-kind Curler uses new-patented technology to create stunning long lasting three-dimensional curls… the kind of curls not readily achieved with traditional styling tools. Hair goes in, curl comes out. It’s that simple, that quick and that easy.
The Curl Secret can be used on a variety of different hair lengths and styles from very long to shorter cuts, from structured bobs to finely layered cuts. You can also use it on already wavy and curly hair to add finesse. And it doesn’t matter what hair type you have either. Whether you are adding body to fine hair, an edge to medium density hair or dramatic interest to even the thickest hair, the result is always outstanding and astonishingly achievable with the Curl Secret™.

Hi, I’m Anna the Editor of Beauty and Lace.


Flying my light plane around part of Australia as a teenager and surviving some pretty horrific weather.
I just recently got photographed in my underwear to promote women feeling comfortable in their own skin after childbirth. All photos taken will be published in a flip book and sold to raise money for womens mental health. Its one of the most amazing things I have done.
Kid free holiday in Bali, pet a baby lion and fed a monkey at the sacred forest! Exhilarating!
When I tried skydiving, the chute opened and we were floating around without a care in the world.
I’ve always wanted to swim nude in the ocean. I finally went to a nudist beach, stripped very quickly, had a long dip, got dressed and left. It was exhilarating.
The last time I felt free spirited and adventurous was when I got in my car one Friday after work and drove down to the seaside and had the most relaxing and fun weekend.
Newly retired – feeling fab and free,
Stepped out for my big shopping spree.
Latest designs – I’m being daring,
What ever the price – I’m not caring.
Coming home from the beach on a Summer’s night with the window down and the radio on, the wind blowing in my face and hair.
Taking my clothes off and forgetting i hadn’t closed the blinds and everyone could see me!
When my baby girl, now 1 years old, came up to me randomly and gave me a hug. Best feeling in the world. Made all the sleepless nights worth it.
Climbing the Glouster Tree in Pemberton. At 72 metres tall its the worlds 2nd tallest fire look-out tree. Getting a birds eye view across the top of the tree canopy was sureal and exhilerating – however the climbing 72 metres up there on railway spikes stuck into the tree trunk was a bit of an adventure. Coming down was way worse.
recently while exploring the island of Bali I spent a day at the water park hurtling down slides definitely spirited and free.
Last year when I quit my job after a horrible day, I went to the airport the next day, I booked the first flight I could get on, it took me to Singapore and then I went to Los Angeles… from there I traveled around America for 2 months by myself.
Shy and inhibited. To come out of my shell like The Birth of Venus. Friends and I went to a Karaoke Bar and I finally ‘Bloomed’. A Butterfly Flying.
A few weeks ago we moved house but had flights to Adelaide booked 4 days we were due out of the old place. When I hit Aldinga Beach, man was I feeling free-spirited and adventurous!!
Kids bus rolls away , no work today , dressed in gear, hair let down , running with the wind , free as a bird
This year when I moved to a new city, in a different from all my friends and family. Here I am in Melbourne, alone and new, but Im happy and filled with hope that I will make good roots here and be creative and artistic how the melb vibe goes. Here I am, alone and FREE.
The last time I let my hair down and felt free, was once Uni was over last year and I took my dogs to the beach
Glorious walking tracks in New Zealand, particularly the South Island. Pristine, clean and invigorating air and water, beautiful rivers and forests and abundant wildlife. I walked here through rain, hair was a mess, along the way the sun came out and I felt renewed. So good to left the techno world behind and feel alive
The last time I felt free spirited and adventurous was in 1990 and I bought a round the world ticket and took off for parts unknown. I was away for two years. Came home and life happened. Children, job, responsibilities etc. Wouldn’t change my life for the world but you really got me thinking. 24 years since i was free spirited and adventurous. might be time to shake things up a bit, starting with a new hairstyle. Fingers crossed.
Obtaining my learners at 44yrs old and finally learning to drive.
Leaving Australia alone when I was 35, for destinations unknown overseas. I traveled for 6 months through India, Pakistan, Egypt and Turkey, before working in Istanbul for 6 months. Then I spent 18 months working on cruise ships, traveling the world, including above the Arctic Circle, around the Mediterranean and Caribbean, and finally living in Hong Kong.
Feeling free spirited and adventurous, bush walking in the Lerderderg State Forest during summer, skinny dipping in the river, to escape the heat.
Stepping out of my comfort zone to go on a motorbike rally, 2 days camping with a group of people I did not know, it was an absolutely fabulous experience and gave me so much confidence
Pastime I let loose was when I went to Paris many years ago by myself and just went with the flow each day and explored Paris solo, my favourite parts were getting lost and finding some amazing places and people!
When Travelling on a Cruise, and having the time of my life
Out with friends drinking, chatting, eating by the beach without any kids, husbands, partners it was fabulous.
I am a mum with two austics kids, I have to keep positive a on top of things…never a dull moment. Life is changing and constantly surprises me it allows me to understand meaning of love and beieng loved.
When I arranged baby sitting as hubby and I went out. It was a case of party! as much as we missed her.
Unfortunately it was centuries ago when i was in my twenties and stayed for a year in Italy
Taking a walk by myself along the beach on the Gold Coast.
17 years ago….pre- children!! hahaha
mum always said have fun before you have kids…
I’m so thankful i did….haha
No mobile, no Wi-Fi, and no mother-in-law to annoy me – lazing on the beach in Waikiki pretending I was 21 again. Just hanging loose!
Going to Bali kid free with my husband. Petting a baby lion and holding/ feeding a monkey at the sacred monkey forest!
Its been many, many years & children since I felt free spirited & adventurous….. I dont think I can publicly say the things I did either!
Choosing to live a life without fear.
I need to look good to play my bassoon
So I really admire my Vidal Sassoon
But this I would give to my darling niece
Who is starting Uni and will need every piece
Of beauty and charm she can muster
To deal with the lecturers bluster.
on a kid free trip to Vegas, strutting our stuff down the strip. It is a must do holiday for everyone!
The last time I felt free spirited and adventurous? It’s hard to pick but I think it would most likely be trekking to the top of Mt Agung in Bali.
12 months ago I decided it was time to let my self free, as I am a long time sufferer or panic attacks and leaving the house and being out of my comfort zone usually trigger at least a minor one. To this day there has been no looking back. My next adventure is buggy riding through the rainforests in Borneo
Ziplining in the treetops in Tasmania last year…
I was petrified but loved it!
Exhilarating and breathtaking!
Next…hang gliding!
Flying back to Europe after 6 years and spending my holiday with family in Rome, Italy 🙂
Last week I had to venture out in a thunderstorm late at night on a deserted road. I had some stirring classical music on as I drove along, free as a bird, with a panoramic view of an electrical storm that seemed to flash in sync with my music as the rain pounded against the windscreen.
Everyday is a free spirited day for me. It’s all about attitude you see. I wake up in the morning and am ready to go, I take on anything living life and feeling great because I strive.
When went up to the top of the Empire State Building despite my fear of heights!
I felt spirited and adventurous when I’m trying out a new restaurant and eating amazing foods with friends
Every time I get on my horse,
We can go anywhere,
And she is amazing.
Anyone with children would understand this. 10pm and I am still out at night with my husband. Oh my I felt so adventurous.
When I finally went for “tough murder” race 2 weeks ago after much talk about it for about 2 months – it was such an amazing experience giving it all and fighting to complete the race. It gave me so much satisfaction and confidence that I am not a new person.
Telling the truth!
Going on annual leave and for the christmas holidays and taking the kids to the beach for a swim and then buying fresh seafood and staying there till we tired our selves out
When i was overseas i felt so free spirited i just wanted to swim and be with nature and explore the culture thoroughly enjoyable
That would be as a child, this time of year no school and nothing but fun to be had!
