For a boost of moisture!

Dr organic Moroccan Argan oil restorative treatment

This product is exactly what it says on the tin it's for dry, dull and damaged hair. My hair goes through a lot, from the heat of blow drying to having highlights every 6 weeks.

Like most good conditioning treatments it's a penatrating conditioner, this just means that the conditioner makes it all the way to the centre of your hair. (This is known as the cortex) whereas everyday conditioners just condition the outer layer of the hair.
One of the best reasons to use this is that all the ingredients are natural not like most things where
you don't recognise half of the ingredients. Something I really love about this product and please
don't laugh, but it's the lid. It is a flap lid; sounds rubbish and nothing to be excited about, however when working with conditioner your hands get ridiculously slippery. So trying to screw on a lid afterwards can be problematic.

After using the product my hair feels fully refreshed. Really clean and the ends of my hair feel so much better and looks lush.


My Room-My Bed Chamber- My Boudoir

I have been thinking over the last few days that I need a post that will help my readers to get to know me. Rather then writing you an essay about where I went to school, my first pet name and my general likes and dislikes. I thought you might prefer to see my bedroom instead. 
My bedroom is above the garage, so the size of a single garage which is good, but it has it's own roof so is so cold in the winter.
One of the best things in my room is my trunk. I bought it for all my DVDs but only the Disney ones 
would fit. So it became my Disney Trunk. I bought the trunk from the Range and it cost £35
Love my retro telephone it has a fantastic ring. Underneath is a booklet given out during World War II to encourage women at home to fix things, rather than buy new. And then there is my remember board which I made to hold things I didn't want to lose in drawers.

Love my clock from Ikea, I can't remember for sure but think it was only £12
My lovely canvas, it only cost £2.50 from b&m bargains 
The two last pictures are of the seven dwarfs and Mickey and Minnie Mouse both made by the amazing Jim Shore. They are so well done. With lots of Disney memorabilia the faces don't look quite right but on every figure made by Jim Shore he has captured the characters perfectly. I also have two Tinkerbells, a Goofy, Pluto and Winnie the Pooh. I just love them.
So this is my amazing shelf. Holds my trinkets and the it was also made by my Uncle Andy many years ago.
This is Bonnie. She is 16 so spends more time on my bed then she does doing anything else.
So felt I should show you her too because she is pretty much part of the room.
This is my desk and Head Quarters. I spend most of my time at my desk doing my make up or hair, Or doing someone else's hair. Most things on my desk were presents so I don't know how much they were. My favourite things on my desk are my little suitcases. I keep my hair products in them. They were £20 from Ebay.

So that concludes the tour of my room! Would love to hear what you think.

Wanna feel like Royalty

TIGI-Bed Head- queen for a day! 
I don't think there has been a time since buying this product I have done my hair without it. It's easy to use and simple to apply. After shampooing and conditioning your hair spray on roots for body or spray all over the hair for body and volume. It's such a light product but makes all the difference to flat hair.


I should know without this product my hair is flat as a pancake, But with it I really do feel like Royality. So queen for a day is very fitting for this wonderful product.

Me after using the product and drying my hair. Bam body and bounce!!

Product cost around £14 
And you can get it from Feelunique.com

Burgh Island, Britain's own Bermuda.

This funny little island off the coast of Devon is one of the most beautiful places in England.



You may think that you have never heard of this island, but I think that most of you will remember it from stories. It has inspired stories like "Evil Under The Sun" by Agatha Christie and "Five On A Treasure Island" by Enid Blyton. 

Hercule Poriot and Captain Hastings 
in "Evil Under The Sun". You can see the hotel and the island in the backround.

There is something magical about this island. I for one have fallen under it's spell. I was lucky enough to visit the island last November. My family and I stayed for two nights. On arrival at the coast you are met by staff from the hotel. in order to reach the hotel your method of transport depends on the tide, if the tide is out you travel over in a rather lovely 4x4, and if the tide is in you travel over by sea tractor. So although nervous we all secretly wanted the tide to be in.


Photos of the Pilchard Inn, a view from the island, my Grandad infront of the sea tractor and the hotel. 

After visiting our rooms, which were delightful, we explored the island which didn't take long. You can stand anywhere on this little island and everywhere you look there are views of breath taking beauty.


The back of the hotel, the dressing table in the Hope Suite.
The bar. (The sliver decorations around the bar are mermaids, loved it!) And beautiful open bathroom in Shrimp Suite. 

If the views and hotel aren't enough for you, you can pop in to the Pilchard Inn for a pint.( even if you're not a guest at a the hotel)



Enjoying an evening with my family. My adorable grandparents still in love and still dancing.

it really is the most beautiful hotel and island with fantastic staff that make you feel like Royalty. 



This is me leaving the island, but I hope to return to this magical place soon.

Don't believe me see for yourself. http://www.burghisland.com

Real body and volume

TIGI Catwalk root boost

I really like this product it has a really good nozzle, that makes it very easy to apply directly to the root.
I found that my hair was to heavy for this product however it works wonders on shorter or finer hair. 
It cost around £13
