Be Happy, Be Inspired

My hair has been an issue for me for as long as I can remember, I don't recall a time where I've ever been entirely happy with how it looks or its condition, this isn't through lack of trying of course. I have very dry ends and relatively greasy roots so you can see why this may cause problems for me.
I put my hair through the daily traumas that a lot of other women do too, like colouring (way to often), blow drying and straightening.

Finding products and methods of getting my hair to look and feel healthier is something I endeavour to do on an almost permanent basis. 

I'd like to introduce you to some of the products I have recently purchased to try and counteract the trauma I put my hair though…

'Now you can break this vicious cycle with Full Repair™. The brand new range of care and styling products instantly transforms and repairs the look and feel of overworked hair to create a full-bodied, healthy looking style with natural movement.' 

I currently own three of the products from this range, thanks to a 3 for 2 offer in boots. I'm hoping to give them a proper try out over the next few weeks and do a follow up review of the products but for now I'd like to introduce you to some very helpful videos curtesy of John Frieda. 


^ In a bid to use less heat (via my straighteners) I wanted to learn how to blow dry my hair in a way that meant I wouldn't necessarily need to straighten my hair afterwards, This video really helped. 


I thought I'd also share this one with you, because it's a really simple easy look to recreate that I love. 
For more information and videos on the Full Repair™ haircare range, visit the John Frieda® Facebook page at www.facebook.com/johnfriedauk where you can enter to win the entire range.

Again don't forget to look our for a more in depth review of the products I have from this range later on, and as always

Thank you for reading.

I thought I'd do an Essie collection, just because I like them and think they are pretty. :)
My collection is very modest, and I only actually bought my first Essie polish about 3 months ago, anyway meet the family...

So from left to right we have - Mint Candy Apple, Penny Talk, Good as Gold, Pink Parka, Knockout Pout, Cute as a Button & a Matte Top Coat.


Here are some swatches...
Thank you for reading.

Hey,
Another collection post... This time it's my Orly Collection. Orly is another brand I've only recently started to buy from. I love their nail 'treatments' over their colours so far, things such as base coats and top coats etc... Anyway on to the pictures...
Here are swatches of the colours I have, obviously there wouldn't be much point in switching the clear ones...


Thank you for reading.

Hey, its another Sunday Six… lets get started.

Song - Again, I can't really say I've listened to much music again this week… One song that has stuck out to me recently has been If I Had a Gun - Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.


Book or TV - This week i'm going to choose a book, I'm currently reading the Fifty Shades Trilogy, I'm about half way through the last one… I was quite worried about admitted to reading this.. if you've read it you will know its not exactly literary genius… and the genre… well… lets just say I'm glad I'm reading it on my kindle! because then at least you can be pretending to read something else! don't get me wrong I'm no book snob… I follow the crowd as much as the last person… mainly so I can make my own opinions about a book rather than go by what others say. I have to say though, I have quite liked reading fifty shades… in a guilty pleasure kind of way… not that I get a kick out of the content because quite frankly its more cringe than sexy, But I like the characters and there is quite good plot behind all the sex. When I first started reading the book I actually thought it was another book that I'd seen on amazon and couldn't remember the name of… then when I realised it was a different book all together… I'd already gotten into the story! anyway… I'm not making up excuses… I'm reading it and I like it. The End. 


Blog or Youtube - This week I'll go for a blog… I'm going to give a little shout out to Emma over at Erratic Glamour , I've followed her for quite a while now, she recently moved over to her new blog… you might remember her as Following the Fashion… she's a lovely girl and often comments on my posts which I really appreciate.

Product -  This week I'll be choosing a nail product… surprise surprise.. I can't rave about this enough, its the Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle… I've used this since I started growing my nails properly back in 2007 and it never fails me. I can go from having nails that are bitten to the point of bleeding to a nice manageable length just past the tips of my fingers in about 2-3 weeks? It's just amazing… the price has risen considerably since I started buying it though, which sucks, but it's still worth it. 


Photo - I haven't really taken any photos this week, but I will post this one of our doggies back at home, that I took whilst house/dog sitting last week. 

I just think they're so cute.



Dislike of the week - again… I don't really think I have a specific 'dislike' this week… apart from the fact I have no money to spend on nail polish! it all has to go on boring things like bills and rent… it just seems that everything needs paying for this week and its getting me down because I don't earn enough money, and the thought of having to get a second job depresses me. 

Anyway, I hope you've all had a good week… it seems to have flown by to me… 

Thank you for reading.
