I kind of have a love hate relationship with my hair. I like my natural hair colour on me and how its suits me so well but I just don't like the texture and how thin it often looks. My hair is super fine and thin and trying to style my hair so that it looks nice can be super hard. I haven't coloured my hair in 2 years as I was sick of all the dry and brittle hair that I got from years of dying it. So I thought I would let my natural hair colour grow out and I will get super nice glossy hair, right? Wrong!!

Don't get me wrong it is much stronger and healthier than what it was before ( I can actually run a brush through without breaking a ton of hair and getting stuck) but I still haven't got the shine and smooth texture that I was hoping for.

My new hair texture looks kind of curly and feels more wiry than smooth and soft. And it is a really pain blow drying it because every time I do it ends up looking like a frizzy ball and dull.

I also have tried letting it air dry in the hope that my hair will behave and look more smooth but no it looked even worse. I am kind of at my wits end.

In a bet to get my hair in a better condition I recently invested in some salon branded Kerastase products. And one of the main products that stood out was the Kerastase Resistance Ciment Thermique Leave in Treatment.
Its a lovely treatment that you put into just washed, wet hair and then style as normal. It has the ability to strengthen your hair by recreating the intercellular structure of the hair fibre and then when you heat activate it with you hair dryer or straighteners it seals the ingredients into your hair, making it more resilient and strong.

Sound good and I have to say it does really help with my hair making it less frizzy and manageable. My hair feels much stronger and healthier. I would really recommend it to you if you have bleached or dyed your hair and the ends fell dry and fragile. I only bought a 50ml sample size but it will last me for some time, so I am sure if you were to buy a full size it can easily last you for more than 5 month.

Over all I think this is a great product all round. Its all what I have been looking for for quite some time and I will be buying the full size when I run out.

Have you got a superstar hair product that outshines all the rest or can not be without?
Let me know I would be interested to hear from you!!

HAPPY WEEKEND !!

INSTYLE MAGAZINE GIFT

New monthly magazines are out and I am an avid reader of INSTYLE magazine. So as I was filling up my car at the petrol station today I saw that my beloved magazine came with some lovely REN skincare trial sizes. Oh my, I love when the magazine freebies are spot on with what I want to try out. Especially REN skincare has been on my wish list for a while and its not just one little sample its three!!!

The magazine comes with REN Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream 10ml, REN Vita Mineral Active 7 Eye Gel 1ml and REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk 10ml. 

I think its a lovely set and I am really keen to try the eye gel, I have got a little bit of an obsession with eye creams lately.

 Anyway I am happy to try them all out and let you know how I got on with them, but in the main time if you want to try for yourself, you can get INSTYLE magazine for only £2 this month. Not bad, yeh?

SPICY CANDLES

  Well it looks like Autumn is finally here and I have been enjoying my time with being at home, cooking for the family, having friends over and snuggling up on the sofa with my hubby. When its getting colder outside I always have this need of making my house cosy and wanting to be all relaxed indoors. I don't know what it is but there is just something very appealing to me with being inside and putting some lovely candles on, cuppa tea in one hand and watching a film all snuggled up on the sofa. I am sure I am not the only one, even my kids don't want to go outside and play anymore. Or maybe they got that from me, haha. 

Anyway I thought I would all let you know about some resent finds that I made in the last week or so.
As you all know one of my favourite shops to stop by when I am in town is TK Maxx ( or TJ Maxx for all you American readers) and the need to satisfy my nesting and making my house more cosy feeling, I headed straight to the home section to find some lovely scented candles. I love candles, there is just something about them that makes you feel relaxed and they really set the mood for a chilled night in.

TK Maxx have a huge selection of candles and it took me at least 10 min to decide with candles I was going to get. I normally go for spiced candles and this time was no exception. I got a soy spiced pumpkin candle and a roasted spice candle, both of them were only £5.99 for 400ml, not bad if you consider some other candles like Yankee Candles can cost you up to £17 for a medium sized jar and I can honestly say that the quality is the same. Over all I am very happy with my finds and I have a feeling that I will be back to get some more. No need anymore of spending a lot of money on candles unless I become weak and spend some money on a Jo Malone candle, they are truly out of this world good.

Do you love candles as much as I do??? I would love to know what kind of scents you normally go for and what your favourite candles are.
