L'oreal leave in conditioner review

Like many other out there I am always searching for the next best thing for dry hair. After bleaching it last year and literally making it fall out, my hair wasn't pretty. I tried lots of different conditioners and it was slowly improving. 


One day I went looking for my usual Aussie Miracle leave in conditioner when I saw that the L'oreal one was on offer so I bought that instead.
I have been using it for the past month and my hair has definitely improved. It is much more healthy and manageable and even feels thicker!
This spray isn't greasy or too heavy, in fact it's light enough to use everyday and it has become a staple in my beauty routine.
It doesn't really have a smell which I personally like so I'm happy I tried something different.
I would give it a 4/5!

Things I would tell my teenage-self

The other day I went out for tea with one of my best friends and we were talking about how fast teenage girls grow up nowadays, how they are in such a rush to do everything at such a young age. 16-year-olds are going out and drinking and smoking and having sex. AT 16! Then yesterday at work a boy came in for school shoes and his mum told me how they had to be 'perfect' for school so he didn't get picked me. Then she said, "It's odd, you spend all your teen years just hopelessly trying to fit in and then you grow up and you want to be as different as possible!"


So it got me thinking, if I could go back in time to 5 years ago, what would I tell my teenage-self?
I came up with 5 things I would LOVE to say:


1)You may be taller than EVERYONE else right now, but don't worry, boys will catch you up! Make the most of your height and don't wear small heels to prom, wear massive wedge heels because you need to practice walking in them.


2)Some people aren't going to like you or get you and that is OK. Later in life it's your sarcasm and brutal honesty that your friends love you for so stay opinionated and don't agree with everyone else. If you don't like someone you don't have to be their friend or pretend to like them.


3)DON'T BLEACH YOUR HAIR! You will ruin it. End.


4)Don't bother with boys till you're at least 20. They are all idiots up until then...in fact most boys still are idiots so instead of worrying about boys, worry about school and work and spending time with your family. You will have plenty of time for boyfriends when you are older - trust dad on this one, his knows best!


5) Lastly....you do get boobs. 

Just because it's funny.....me then 

Dip-dye hair

Brightly coloured hair was seen everywhere over the fashion weeks and the trend has taken to the streets and spread like wild fire.

Once a hair choice reserved for the underground scene, this trend is now really popular and is perfect for summer.

May it be little tiny streaks, just the ends or whole head colour, hair is not longer just blonde, brown or red.

So like many others, I grabbed myself some hair dye and tried out the trend.

I was going to blog about how I did it but instead I made a video tutorial because it seemed easier at the time than trying to explain it in writing.

I apologise for the weird facial expressions and I hope it's useful. If you have any questions just comment and I'll try and help :)

Enjoy! 

King Charles

I have no idea where I first heard this man but his voice and random adopted name stuck in my head and I think he is going to be something special. Real name Charles Johnston, he is English and showcases what has to be some of the most beautiful music coming through the industry today.


His hair let alone is enough to stir up inspiration in an individual, but his style is phenomenal. His clothes and outfits have this amazing mix of eclectic old-school, 17th century, hippie, old grandad and it some how comes together and looks beyond cool. 
Take away the clothes, the hair and the pirate beard and you are left with the bare essentials of a indie singer-songwriter sensation.


I would say if you are a fan of the likes of Mumford and sons, Noah and the whale, Laura Marling ETC then this man is right up your street. His lyrics are beautiful and it's the kind of music you just want to listen to over and over. His talent is undeniable and he can play the guitar very well. I rest my case.


My favourite song so far has to be Lovelust, give it a listen and follow the King on twitter as he only has 4000 followers!

His debut album Loveblood is out May 17th

The curse of single girl dressing

The curse of single girl dressing is something I am sure many women out there have been faced with at some point in their life.

You may not necessarily BE a single girl, in fact you might be loved up but the curse can crop up at any time. The problem is, when you are getting dressed or undressed for that matter of fact and you come across an article of clothing which requires assistant in doing up and BAM it hits you, the curse of single girl dressing.
It happened to me this morning, I was awake early for a conference at university and I picked out my gorgeous leopard print dress which I bought at Tesco a few years ago. I unzipped the seam at the back of the dress which runs three quarters of the way down the dress, and stepped into it. I then had to begin the awkward process of trying to zip it up. My flat mates were fast asleep as it was half past 8 in the morning so I was alone in my struggle. Purely attempting to get dressed resulted in a long and laborious process of twisting my body and pulling and zipping from all angles.
I did manage to dress myself in the end! But the fact that it is so hard makes me almost not want to wear the dress at all.

If I did live with a man then most likely he would of been there to do up the dress and off I would of gone without so much as a second glance to check my hair hadn't been caught in the zip.

So this is just a message to all designers out there, please be aware of this fault and make dressing fair and fun for all. Regardless of relationship status.
