The Wonders Of Olive Oil

I have been struggling with the condition of my hair for a while now. This is to do with moving to the city and bathing in water which contains more chlorine that I’m used to. Basically it leaves me with an itchy scalp and very dry hair. I have tried big brands that promise to rid one of dry scalp and hair such as Head and Shoulders and T Gel as well as various other shampoos and conditioners but to no avail. My beautician suggested I tried Olive Oil. 

 At first I was reluctant to try this. It just didn’t seem right to smear oil in my hair.  However, I thought I would give it a go. It worked! For me, Olive oil is the perfect alternative to moisturising shampoos and conditioners. 

How I Use:

I put it into the area I want moisturised the most first. At the minute this is my scalp. I rub it in slowly massaging my scalp at the same time to spread the oil evenly throughout my head. Then I spread it through the ends of my hair.

I then wait 30 minutes, after this, I shampoo and condition my hair as normal. 

It’s as easy as that. Once I’ve dried my hair it feels like it has a whole new lease of life. 

I use it once a week, although I could use it more.  I find that it makes my hair more ‘heavy’ so it doesn’t hold its natural curl as well. Usually when I use it I straighten my hair until I wash my hair again. 

One last thing! 

I find that if I leave it in longer than 30 minutes, say an hour or so, my hair actually gets lighter by about a shade. I don’t think it’s a permanent change but take this fact into consideration if your thinking about using it on coloured hair.

Haul: Tubbilicious Tub Treats

As you may know I am a huge fan of bath products. So I was thrilled to find another way to treat myself with a company called Tubbilicious
Tubbilicious make ''spa quality tub treats'' with ''all natural and organic ingredients''.
This triggered an interest in me immediately. I have sensitive skin and I often react badly to products which arent all natural. I then clicked to browse the shop-oh dear god was that a treat. Just looking at the products made my mouth water and then the description of them.... Honestly upon showing this website to different people all of them had a remark of the fact that they look good enough to eat!
Here it is.

I have never bought anything of Etsy before and was a bit dubious. Im not one for buying things over £5 on ebay or Amazon even. However after much deliberation ( well not that much because the products are just so good ) I decided I wanted to get a few things. I contacted the seller and immediately my worries about buying the stuff online were put to rest. The seller Jacqueline is so friendly that I decided to place an order. 

Many of the products are made-to-order so you can have any scent you wish!
The packaging had flowers and hand drawn smiley faces on it :') It was such a nice touch!
Here's What I bought.

Keeping Yourself Gorgeous This Summer

We all know its that time of year for the next few months or days (weather permitting) Summer clothes will be on, the hair removal kit will be out and we'll have to switch up our beauty routine for the summer. Switching up the beauty routine is something I tend to forget. How can you blame me? Our British weather is so unpredictable that many of us at the first sign of sun barely remember to dash the sunscreen on before we take a day trip to the beach. Here are a few simple things we need to remember before its too late and the damage is done.
