VO5 HOT OIL


Boots - £4.29 

Just for reference, I have thick, shoulder length bleached hair. Washing my hair sometimes feels like such a chore, it gets so notty and feels like it takes an age to dry just for me to end up looking like I have put my fingers in a plug socket. I've heard good things about other VO5 oil related products so I thought Id give these individual treatments a try - and what a bloody good choice it was!

You have to warm the oil before you use it, so I put a glass of boiled water in the bathroom and leave the tube in there whilst I wet my hair. You use the treatment BEFORE shampooing and should only leave it on for 1 minute, and don't go near your roots either!

 I must be honest, when I first used this I thought it wouldn't make much difference to my hair, as the tube itself seems small and there wouldn't be enough product for my hair, but after I washed it out my hair felt rather smooth - not as much as my conditioner makes my hair feel, but a noticeable difference.

The best thing about this, is that it makes the tangles in my hair seem to disappear completely - yay! After using my Babyliss Big Hair Roller to dry my hair, my hair feels so soft to the touch and gives it a lovely shine. I've been using these once a week for 3 weeks now, I haven't noticed any long term changes to the condition of my hair but your hair instantly looks healthier after use.

A long term solution? Maybe not; But its nice to use once a week to make your hair happy.

Music to my Ears #3

I don't know about you, but this last week has seemed to fly by. All I can say I've really done is soaked up the sun most of the week and neglected my blog. Since it was raining today, I guess the typical British weather will force me back inside and i'll find the time to get back to writing some posts!

I re-discovered an old album this week - Songs about Jane by Maroon 5. I was still in Primary school when this album was released (OMG!) back in 2002.

This song woke me up on the radio the other morning and has rekindled my love for Adam Levine and that husky voice of his...

I give you, Sunday Morning - ultimate chill out music, Enjoy!!





PS. I've had the first of my followers subscribe to my blog this week and Id like to say a little thank you for the lovely comments you have left me on my recent posts. Its so overwhelming when someone tells you that they are a fan of your blog - especially when its so young!! 


Love xx

Music To My Ears #2

I'm thinking of making this music post a weekly regular, so here goes week 2!

This week I've been travelling a lot for work purposes (more on that in a 'get to know me' post!) so who better to keep me company on the road than Lana Del Ray. Stunning voice and oozing with beauty this lady is a big big favourite of mine. 

Thanks to Spotify PlayButton, I bring you National Anthem, possibly the best song on her album Born to Die.




If your new to Spotify, I totally recommend it. Its free to download the software/app to your computer/ipad/iphone and you can upgrade to a premium account which costs £10 per month (£5 for nus cardholders) which gives you access to unlimited music, wahoo! The free version allows you upto approximately 100 plays per track and you can listen to these posts via the app too which gets a biggggg thumbs up!

Happy listening, and I hope you have a great start to the week.

'Till next time, Natalie xx
