John Frieda, Frizz Ease Review

As some of you may know, I am a mother.

At 23, having a 6 year old, a job and a home to look after, as many mothers will know, I don't have a lot of time on my hands to care about my hair!

My general day will consist of a quick shower including the cheapest option of hair care. So for the last 2 years+ I have deprived my hair of moisture and love!

I asked myself:

My answer is yes please! 

 May I introduce 

the Frizz Ease range.

''loving care for frizzy hair'' 

  

I am a skeptical person, with new products

 

 However I can tell you, there is nothing to worry about.

This product makes your hair feel as beautiful as silk, with every application, and it holds the feel of it all day long.

This product also helps you use less, as the lathering agent is much more powerful than your normal non branded product,

so not only is it saving your hair but also saving your money!

 

On average women spend 40 minutes drying and styling our hair.

So caring for your ends are essential!

These pictures above were taken before I started using the products,

as you can see in the first one my hair has a natural flick to it

This irritates the hell out of me and I straighten until I can straighten no more!

 With the Straight Fixation Smoothing Creme

it helps my hair stay fully in place after the first stoke with my straightening iron! It's heaven in a bottle.

I highly recommend this product if you hadn't yet guessed.

Go on! Give it a go!

River Island OOTD

River Island

&

 Primark

Outfit

Nails, Essie, Bikini So Teeny

which I am in love with!  

Aztec Jumpsuit

Primark White Tee

Primark Sunnies

&Primark cut out Black Pumps 

This is the perfect outfit for the beach, at home or abroad and perfect for wearing a cute bikini underneath.

The material is quite rough and very lightweight 

and super comfortable.

My sunnies above are Primark.

I like big glasses, I don't do things in halves!

Makeup, very minimal, nude lip and smokey brown eye.

The whole outfit, minus makeup only adds up to £30!

Bargain I'd say!

Let me know what want to see next?

Raspberry Picking...

Durleigh Marsh Farm Shop

Petersfield

Something I used to enjoy doing with my parents as a teenager was strawberry picking, the joy of choosing your own fruit and taking them home as goodies at the end of it.

Me and Dan have never taken Taylor before and I have been desperate to take him all summer holidays.

Now it's almost over, (one more week) with my little man we are going to make it last.

I also think it is very important for children in general to learn where fruit comes from and how you get it. 

We also learnt today that Raspberry bushes attract lots of Wasps and Queen Bees, and are prickley!

But so long as they are having lots of fun, it doesn't matter. 

It makes fruit fun! :)

 After searching Google this morning (very last minute as usual) for a local Strawberry picking area we found our farm!

It's been such a beautiful day for this so the shorts were out and the cardigans were left at home!

Unfortunatly when we arrived there were no Strawberries ready to be picked.  

Raspberries, Blackberries & Blueberries 

were to be picked for the EYLES/MASTERMAN crew today!

Making our way to the bushes to start harvesting.

They have 3 sizes of punnets 

  1/2kg

1kg
&

2kg

we went for the 1/2 and would go back for more if we fancied it!

 

T Mans top from Primark says 

'Mum thinks she's in charge - (back) but really it's me'

This is not a fact!

Seeing as this is his first fruit picking session, he did really well,

we had a little bit of complaining from the prickly parts of the branch but thoroughly enjoyed it! 

I really recommend it!

I even tried this picking fruit malarkey!

This farm also grew vegetables, from spinach to carrots

which daniel and taylor are trying to pull out themselves.

There were quite a few rude ones lying around! Hehe.

Lots and lots of berries!

We headed to the farm shop and looked at all the exotic condiments they had to offer!

Olives, marmalades and sauces!

We took away two corn on the cobs, which taste far better than Tesco's!

Now I think £3.70 for a huge punnet of berries and two corn on the cobs is a bargain!

I recommend this place for anyone it was a lovely afternoon out!

 

#Southamptonmeetup

Yesterday was the #southamptonmeetup at the Orange Rooms!

Arranged by the lovely @hannahbeeblog 

www.hannah-bee.co.uk/ 

This was my first blogger meet up, and I'm so glad I went along!

I met the most lovely people there and now have many 'go to' blogs and lots of reading material! 

My day started off a little like this:

Flick indeed! I decided to dress my hair in the  

'beached' 'wavey' effect.

My outfit from the meet up you can see

HERE

After the short drive to Southampton, I got a little lost as driving in town is quite crazyyyy!

The Orange Rooms is a really nice bar. And we had a whole corner of it.

This was behind me:

And this was in front of me:

Cupcakes of course!

And Diet Coke.

Leanne from OhThatCurl

brought along some Henna products and tons of us got to have a lovely design, unfortunatly I didn't get a picture of any :(

But as you can see we had a great time, meeting for the first time and others catching up!

I can't wait for the next one!

Southampton Meet Up OOTD

Today was the first blogger event/meet up I've been to!

The dilemma of 'what to wear?!' 

was definatly crossing my mind!

Some of the clothes in this OOTD are so old you may not be able to purchase, however you can swap and change for different ideas.

The slight tan on my arms is Dove Summer Glow Nourishing Lotion

 which I've been using after exfoliating in the shower for a few days now and it has build up the most natural, 'to die for' tan.

 

AllSaints Tee - Outlet price £15

River Island Boyfriend Jeans - very old, can't remember the price

 

Primark Metal Necklace - £1

River Island Mink Colour Wedges - £20

BarryM Gelly Nail Paint - Pomegrante 

River Island Midi Ring - £2

My #southamptonmeetup post will be up tomorrow, lots of pictures and goodies were taken! :)

My Lipstick Collection

Hey Guys!

If your in need of some inspiration for what colour to buy the next time your in town, then keep reading.

Unfortunately I'm not brave when it comes to Lippys and generally go for the Nudes or much Calmer colours. However if you can suggest some you like I may branch out!

Just a quick disclaimer - My collection has been building up over the last 3 years, these have either been given to me for christmas/birthdays and other than that I have bought with my own pennies.

Right lets start!

 

 Other than the first colour, I wear these on a daily basis. A brown smokey eye or minimal makeup really match these colours.

The first colour I wear on a night out/date night.

These are my favourite / everyday colours that I would wear to work or out on a date. They are very versatile and inexpensive. The colours do not dry out and also look perfect blended into the lip to create a stained effect.

The last three are a mixture of likes/loves and dislike.

The BarryM Lipstick in 147 is a lovely Coral colour however it is extremely dry and it shows when you wear it.

I blogged more about the colour in 2011 here. 

However the Kate Moss colour is my go to colour right now!

Literally wearing it everyday!

The Maxfactor lipstick is more of a shimmery balm as you can see above, and gives a lovely pop of colour and shine to your lips.

Leave me your favourite lipsticks in the comments below and you can inspire me! :)
