Lets get personal ...

Hello my Beauties!

I hope you are all enjoying your lazy Sunday!

I was thinking to myself today - I haven't done a personal post in a while and, because I have lots of reviews in store for you this week, I thought I'd talk about how I am!

The last few months have been an emotional rollercoaster - worrying about passing my Law exam, working towards a promotion at work and trying to have a social life. I can safely say that my boyfriend, friends and family are the only people keeping me sane right now!

I've even had a chop!

The Day I realised my eyebrows are ridiculous!

I wanted to give my hair a fighting chance of growing long and healthy after blonde hair dye stripped everything good! and I totally fell in love with Cheryl Cole's cropped haircut. Although this is not a patch on what the original hairstyle is - I love it!

I am also been deciding what to buy for the next competition! So if you have any ideas, please let me know! 

And finally, I have decided I am going to now attempt to do daily blogs throughout summer apart from when I'm on my jollies and - I tell you what, I can't wait to share my summer with you guys!

Let the blogging commence!

DIY Hair Mask No2

Hello Beautifuls!

If anyone personally know me, they know I do ALOT with my hair. From going dark to blonde to platinum to dark brunette, I have experienced every hair disaster possible.

Recently, my hair gave me a wake up call. I suffered for severe hair loss caused by Tresemme Keratin Smooth shampoo and conditioner, and it really got me thinking:- what am I putting in my hair?

So it has been my mission to find the best products for my hair to regain my hairs true potential. And so, I bring you my homemade hair mask.

Ingredients

• 1 raw egg 
• 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey
• 1 to 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
• 1 to 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
• a plastic bag
• a clip

After alot of research (and alot of stalking of Lush!) I have found the 4 perfect ingredients to indulge my hair. Before this mask, my hair was brittle, dry and needed some TLC and my Aussie 3 minute miracle wasnt cutting it for me. So, why these ingredients? the egg provides protein for the hair, honey is great for putting shine back in the hair, coconut oil is one of the only oils that can get into the cuticles of your hair and helps with brittle end and olive oil makes your hair extra soft and is brilliant for your scalp. 

1. Put the bottle/tub of coconut oil in a bowl/sink full of hot water. Coconut oil is a solid at room temperature and we need this as a liquid.
2. crack one egg into a bowl (not the one with the coconut oil) then add 2 tablespoons of each oils - and then the honey.
3. Whisk up the ingredients to make sure all the oil is evenly distributed.
4. You may want gloves for this: put the mixture onto dry hair. Make sure it is evenly distributed.
5. Place your hair into a plastic bag and use a clip to secure.
6. Wait for at least an hour (you can even sleep in it)
7. thoroughly wash your hair with a gently shampoo. I used Johnsons baby shampoo and followed it with my Pantene repair and protect conditioner. Wash thoroughly & towel dry.
8. Let your hair air dry unless your in a hurry, use a hairdryer on cool temp.
9. Use any protecting oil such as the mythic oil & the macadamia healing oil.

And Ta Dah! fabulous hair in a flash!

I would recommend doing this weekly :)

My Birthday Wishlist

Hello Beautiful!

It's my birthday on the 31st March and this year, Its on Easter - which probably means I'll be fobbed off with Easter eggs as birthday presents *sign*

However, I am going to reveal my wish list - which consists of things I'll never be able to afford & things that I hope to get! Enjoy guys!

1. A pair of Jeffrey Campbell's

Aaa, Jeffrey Campbell - How I love thee! The Alexander McQueen of the shoe world. I already have a fake  pair of the studded Litas, which I absolutely adore! I would like a flat pair & these are so nice!  The silver studs in the shapes of stars and skulls really give the shoe a McQueen edge! I found a pair of these babies on the T K Maxx website, so I'm sure there will be a pair instore. Price: £49.99 [I think] 

2. Lush Snow Fairy shower gel  

    

It has finally happened. I have ran out of the most gorgeous smelling shower gel I have ever had. And yes, I'm upset. This will probably mean that I'll have to result in buying the shower gel on eBay, I just get a little bit paranoid when I buy my hygiene essensials from there as you never know what they have done to it!

Price: £5.00 - £17

3. Macadamia Oil Healing Oil (bit of a mouthful there!)

                                

I am OBSESSED witht this! it makes my hair unbelieveably soft and I really think that it 'fixes' my hair. The Macadamia collection really is a miracle to hair as the oil can penetrate the hairs cuticle and make your hair unbelievably shiny. The catch? Its expensive. And i'm a commuting student.

Price: £30 for a decent sized bottle.

4.  A Ragdoll Kitten

                                     

Anyone who knows me knows I'm obsessed with cats! I absolutely adore them & I cannot resisit a fluffy kitten! I mean, look at those eyes! :3 in reality, I already have a gorgeous kitty - My Cookie <3

                

How beautiful is she?

5. Tickets to see The Lawson play

Probably my favourite boy band of all time. Sorry Busted & McFly! I love how there songs tell a stroy & there is so much meaning behing it! And there voices are divine. Making my heart melt!

6. Money

Money doesn't make the world go round, but it does help! I'm going to the Ark Clearance sale with my little sister and a bit of spending money wouldnt go a miss!

7. Adore Your Couture Items

                         

How cute are these items? Adore Your Couture are a small company that customise accessories such as phone cases, sunglasses and most recently bikinis and shorts, which I cannot wait to purchase! I really want to get the hair brush and a pair of spikey shorts from the brand - fingers crossed! Oh, and the 'bad' ring!

8. Just by Just Cavalli

This is probably top of my birthdat list. The smell of this is absolutely beautiful! definitly a scent I would wear!

This is all I can think of so far! If I think of anything else, Ill add it on!

What are on your wish list at the moment?

FAST shampoo & conditioner review!

Hello my Gorgeous friends!

Ever had a really bad haircut? Or a hairdresser taking off a good 5 inche because you needed a 'good trim' (pfft, trim my bottom!) Well, fear no more! As I have been willing enough to test a shampoo that boasts about how it increases the growth of hair!

I am a sceptic, always have been so as soon as I saw what this shampoo was supposed to do - I had to try it. So, after a few days, I received a few samples of the product in the post.

'FAST (Fortified Amino Scalp Therapy) is a deep cleasing shampoo & condtioner that specifically made to stimulate faster hair growth, addressing all sorts of hair problems like a bad haircut, slow growing hair and even weak dry hair that is prone to breakage.'

The hair products are full of vital vitamins such as Cystine, cysteine and methionine which are sulfur containing amino acids. Over 90% of the dry weight of hair comprises proteins called keratins, which have high disulfide content, from the amino acid cysteine. Methionine is able to strengthen the structure of hair and nails.



Amino Acids help build hair follicles & so, encourage hair growth. Also, the process in which you apply the shampoo stimulates your blood in the scalp, which again helps hair growth.

The Results: Well, I have got to hand it to them - It really works! My hair does grow quite quick but I have noticed that It grows even faster with this product - a good 5 cm over 10 days! And I seriously recommend it! Although the treatment doesn't come cheap at £24.99 for both the bottles.

Tips: Taking Folic Acid supplements while on this treatment also helps increase healthy hair growth & drinking plenty of water.

Will you be trying this product?

P.S. I forgot to mention, I actually brought this product I loved it so much!
