Macadamia natural oil: Deep Repair Hair Mask



I had heard so much about Moroccan oil and really wanted to try their hair products but they have always been a little bit out of my price range, so for my birthday a couple of years ago, my sisters gave me the Macadamia Luxe Repair gift set. Macadamia are also a bit too pricey for my pockets but after using the products from my gift set I fell in love with the brand. My favourite product from the gift set was the deep repair mask; it lasted forever and did wonders to my hair so I was gutted when I used it all up. I’m also a fan of their healing oil treatment, which I use as part of my daily hair routine and recently I repurchased a bottle from amazon. While browsing I noticed that they had the 500ml tub of the deep repair mask on special offer for just under £20 Bargain! So of course I had to repurchase the mask too.


I have fallen in love all over again with the treatment. I use it when I’m relaxing in the bath, combing a little through wet, clean hair to the ends with a wide tooth comb, letting it soak in for around 10 minutes and rinsing it out with clean water. It leaves my hair tangle free, clean, healthy looking and incredibly soft.  I’ve also noticed a massive difference in the condition of my hair. I have never been so impressed with a hair product before. I recommend this product to anyone whose hair needs a bit of attention,you won’t be disappointed!

Acid Wash Jeans

Acid wash jeans - £20
Tartan scarf - £12 both boohoo.com

With spring on its way I invested in a pair of acid wash jeans. I was never really a fan of acid wash jeans but my sister bought a pair before Christmas and I fell in love with the 80’s style wash. They just have this style of being really laid back and casual. After doing some online browsing I purchased my own pair.


This gorgeous pair are from boohoo.com and cost me around £20. They fit really well and don’t go baggy which is surprising considering how much they cost. The wash is really light and grainy which is perfect for the spring and summer weather and will go really well with the pastel and monochrome trends this season.

Foreo Luna Mini Review


Its been just over a month since I received my Foreo Luna mini for Christmas and as promised, though a little late, I thought id let you know how I got on with it. I’ve been using the device as part of my skin routine twice daily with my favourite face cleanser, Clinique’s anti blemish solution. The facial cleanser is the only cleanser I’ve used in about 3 years mainly because it works unlike other cleaners I’ve tried in the past and works even better with my Foreo.

At first I thought that the Foreo would be one of these fad devices that claims to work wonders but it does nothing it claims to do or would improve my skin for about a week and then just make it worse. I could not be more WRONG. Its is a amazing, I’ve noticed such a difference in my complexion, my skin is super soft, I have less black heads, my pores appear smaller and I have only had one breakout since using it.  It is because of all this that I don’t think I will just wash my face again. I cannot fault this skincare device, it 100% gets a massive thumbs up from me. Thanks Foreo.

Let me know what you think of this review in the comment box below.

Spring is slowly on its way and it could not come soon enough considering the miserable weather here at the moment. Spring/Summer collections are already starting to hit the high street. As you might have seen in My wardrobe blog post, I wear a lot of dark colours and one of my new year resolutions is to be more adventurous with my style and wear more colour but after I saw that monochrome is a key trend for the upcoming season I couldn’t say no to a few of these beauties.
