TRESemme Salon Finish Freeze Hold Hairspray

2 / 21 / 16

DSC001361-720x1024I only use hairspray when I’m wearing my hair up to control all those fuzz flyaway bits, they’ve driven me mad for years, I look like I have a halo of fuzz on the top of my head (and it’s not attractive!)
I should at this point tell you I have long curly, wavy, fuzzy, frizzy hair with some straight bits thrown in for good measure. It’s fine and flyaway, I can sort of style it but as soon as theres a hint of wind or rain forget it, I may as well have not bothered.
Then I found the answer (well for when I put my hair up at least) drum roll please…….. TRESemme Salon Finish Freeze Hold Hairspray… Ta Daaaaah. Once you spray this on nothing and I mean nothing will sneak out of place, keep in mind I haven’t tried this in a convertible or hurricane but for normal day to day it’s truly fab! And I don’t seem to need much.

P.S. Someone once told me that curly hair is a deformed follicle, how mean was that!? One day i’ll research it but for now, me and my (maybe) deformed follicles have to much work to do.
Hope this helps x

Pucker up and treat those luscious lips!

2 / 10 / 16

BackScrubA lovely and quick treat for your lips which is especially helpful if they are dry and chapped.
Begin by removing any make-up then apply some lip balm, with a soft toothbrush (not the one you use for your teeth!) gently brush your lips and the surrounding skin with small circular movements. Next wipe clean with a damp cloth or cotton wool and finish by applying a generous amount of a good moisturising lip balm (preferably organic and paraben free!)
This is a lovely treat for your lips, it’s especially beneficial to do at night where you can leave a nice thick layer of lip balm on without worrying about anyone seeing you.

Nivea Cellular Anti-Age Eye Cream Review

2 / 5 / 16

Screen-Shot-2015-06-25-at-18.44.56A few months ago my eye area started feeling quite dry and sensitive and I noticed some early signs of ageing (aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!)
After trying a few different eye creams I decided to try the Nivea Cellular Anti-Age Eye Cream as I use other products from this range (see earlier posts if you would like information on moisturisers etc) I liked it straight away as it has the right consistency and moisture level for me.
Whilst it’s important to have a lighter cream for the eye area than we use for our faces as the skin there is more delicate, I found many other eye creams to be too light, they just didn’t give me the moisture I need.
Luckily this Nivea eye cream is a little thicker than most and I must say I have definitely noticed a difference, It’s also got the signature Nivea scent though in a much milder form which I like.
The cream is smooth and easily absorbed, once I’ve applied it to my eye area, if there is any excess left on my fingers I apply it to my lips, the price is also reasonable and it lasts quite a while.

Screen-Shot-2015-06-24-at-21.27.50

After cleansing and toning but before moisturising, squeeze a pea size amount out, place it between two fingers to warm it slightly, then pat it gently into the eye area.
The packet says “visibly smoothes fine lines and wrinkles….. firms and improves skin renewal” So far so good!

Woohoo For Pasta Lovers!

2 / 3 / 162 / 3 / 16

SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES

Great news for pasta lovers! Eating left over cold and/or reheated pasta, becomes a healthy fibre rich meal.
Scientist Dr Denise Robertson from the University of Surrey found eating pasta that has been cooked then cooled, converts from being a carb-loaded food which gets broken down in the gut as simple sugars causing a huge spike in blood glucose to ‘resistant starch’. When consuming pasta that has cooled your body treats it similarly to fibre therefore producing a smaller glucose rise, it also feeds the good bacteria and you absorb less calories (that’s got to get a yeeeah)
Dr Chris Van Tulleken furthered the research by conducting a series of tests on how pasta performed if it were to be cooked, cooled then reheated, the results were fabulous. The rise in blood glucose was reduced by 50% taking pasta when prepared in this way to a healthy fibre rich food.

Nivea Cellular Anti-Age, Day Cream Review

2 / 2 / 16

DSC00129-1024x996So to go along with my Nivea Serum and Night Cream I bought the Nivea Cellular Anti-Age Skin Rejuvenation Day Cream SPF 15 (What a mouthful) to give it a try.
I really like this cream, I don’t need slap it on like I do with the night cream, as I use the serum all over my face, I don’t feel I need the day cream on my T-zone.
The texture is a medium lightness, smooth and again has the lovely clean and fresh Nivea scent. I find my skin stays hydrated and comfortable all day (which is a big plus when fighting wrinkles etc) As with the other products I have talked about in this Nivea range the price is great and is usually in an offer in some of the larger shops.
The combination of these products are working fabulously for me and I’ve always spent a fortune on high end professional skincare. Yes there are some products out there which may have larger quantities of anti-ageing ingredients, but at the moment these are really suiting my skin.
It’s more about finding out what suits your skin and remember at different times of the year and sometimes month your skin may have different needs.

Nivea Cellular Anti-Age, Night Cream Review

2 / 1 / 162 / 2 / 16

DSC001341-1024x628Another big huge tick for Nivea, for me they have got this formula right for the night. It’s rich, thicker than the day cream which is what I want and luxurious, when I wake up in the morning my skin still feels hydrated, smooth and comfortable. I love the scent, it’s the same signature Nivea scent which is fresh and light.
I use the serum which I have reviewed in an earlier post beneath this cream and with the combination of the intense serum and the richness of the night cream my skin is looking hydrated, glowing and youthful. All without breaking the bank yeeeaaah!
This cream is such a reasonable price and as with the serum there is usually a deal on in larger shops so I’ve never paid full price. I have been so impressed with the serum and the night cream that I have bought the day cream which I will review shortly.
It’s important to have a good rich night cream to replenish your skin while you sleep, this cream contains, short-chain Hyaluronic Acid, Magnolia Extract and Creatine, these ingredients support cell function, and help hydrate among other things.
The box says ‘Reduces the appearance of wrinkles, noticeably firms & improves skin renewal with Hyaluronic Acid and Magnolia Extract”
I can tell you at the moment it’s working for me!

Nivea Cellular Anti-Age Refining Serum Review

1 / 30 / 162 / 2 / 16

DSC001251-711x1024A couple of months ago, I picked up Nivea’s Cellular Anti-Age Skin Rejuvenation, Concentrated Skin-Refining Serum and I luuuurv it! I love the way it feels smooth on my skin, the texture is light but luxurious and Nivea’s signature scent makes me feel fresh and clean.
Ok so it’s not paraben free, but BUT it seems to work! My skin is clear and glowing and more or less wrinkle free woohoo!
The price is great too, when you compare it to a lot of other brands it’s well worth the money and i’ve never paid full price as there is usually always an offer on in the larger shops.
On the box it says ‘Visibly smooths skin appearance. Reduces the appearance of wrinkles, noticeably firms & improves skin renewal. With Hyaluronic Acid and Magnolia Extract’
I believe it does what it says on the box, I’m on my second bottle and I’m always getting compliments on my skin.
It’s really important to use a serum if you can, as they usually contain greater concentrated amounts of anti-ageing properties. Use your chosen one all over your face, neck and décolleté under your moisturiser morning and night for an intensive treat.

Tip – For Oily areas just use the serum under make-up without moisturiser, allow it to soak in a little but not dry out completely before applying either moisturiser or make-up

Health Benefits Of Indoor Plants

1 / 30 / 161 / 30 / 16

DSC001921-1024x1011Did you know that indoor plants actually clean your air?
Did you know that the air in your house or work place is usually far more polluted than the air outside?
Various plants such as Aloe Vera, Spider plant, Snake plant, Weeping Fig, English Ivy and Bamboo Palm among many others are excellent at removing toxins from your environment.
Common volatile organic compounds such as formaldehyde, benzene, xylene and many more which are commonly found in cleaning products, personal care products, tissues, carpets, paint,( the list goes on…. ) are effectively removed by many plants. Plants are also great at removing carbon monoxide and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere all of which is a big plus in my book!
If you’re not that green fingered, do some research as there are many plants which don’t need an enormous amount of work, or light or watering but will be a great asset to your home.
And lastly, throw open those windows (for at least 20 minutes a day) let the fresh air in and the stale air out, it will really reenergise your space.

A Little Reminder-Benefits Of Water

1 / 28 / 168 / 15 / 17

We all know drinking water is good for us, but here’s a quick reminder.
Staying hydrated will enable you to think more clearly, suffer less from fatigue, mood swings, irritability and hunger pangs. Water is also anti-ageing as it plumps the skin yeeeaaah (that’s a simple and cheap way to help keep wrinkles at bay!) Drinking enough water to keep yourself from being dehydrated can help lessen your chances of urinary and colon problems certain cancers, heart attacks, kidney stones and constipation.
NB – It’s not good to over drink water, I’m talking about staying hydrated.
Bottoms Up!
