OOTD - Daytime Date

Hey everyone,
Just a quick update of what I got up to last week. I went to see The Amazing-Spiderman 2, which really was amazing, and also out for a meal to Tamatanga - again. I love that place. If you have any questions then don't hesitate to contact me :)

I always look so awkward trying to pose. Also, my camera makes me look so blurry!

My whole pretty outfit! My jeans are from H&M sale for £5, My top is from Tesco FF for £8, My necklace is from Primark for £3 and my Kimono is from New Look for £12.
My necklace is from Primark. It was reduced to £3 when I bought it.

MY FAVOURITE SHOES THAT HURT MY FEET SO BADLY. Miss KG by Kurt Geiger.
Cinderella, is that you? Sorry about my wrinkly foot hahaha, I don't know what happened to it!
Look how pretty my shoes are!!! My feet/legs look so pale, it's unreal. That's just before I applied fake tan.
My beautiful Kurt Geiger jelly shoes close up!!

You can see how bad my roots are in this picture! I was so fed up with the colour as well, so you will have to wait till my next post to see my new hairdo!

Big forehead alert!! My eyelashes look extra long! I use the 17 Va Va Voom mascara in extreme black.

Here you can see my messy little bun? I think that's what I should call it, even though it looks like a knot!

Cheeky little selfie of my make-up. Sorry, I'm always making awkward faces trying to pose for the camera!
Mmmm yummy chicken wrap! It was a mixture of spice and sugar, but it was the best of both worlds.
 
Mint and Mango chutney to dip my chips and wrap in! It was delicious. I will definitely have this next time I go to Tamatanga.
Best chips in the world. They were really salty and just tasted heavenly.
What's a dinner date without a glass of Coke or Sprite?
Lots of love,

Dr. Hobbs Heat Gro Intensive Hair & Scalp Strengthening Therapy Review

Hey guys!
So, I have been out shopping (again) and found some really amazing hair treatment when I was looking for new hair extensions. My hair is naturally very thin and fragile, but because I have been dying it and wearing my hair extensions it became thinner. This has worried me deeply as hair is a big part of everyone's appearance and I can't be dealing with having to cut my hair really short or go bald.
I read the ingredients of the treatment, and instantly thought 'wow I must buy this product, it's 100% natural'.

The packaging: The treatment is in a basic plastic tub and isn't exactly eye-catching. however it looks like something you would buy in a herbal shop, especially by the pot and spatula to mix ingredients, mostly herbs and tablets. The large bold writing draws attention to the packaging and makes you want to read on. As soon as I read that it strengthens hair and helps hair grow faster, I had to turn it around and read the back of it to make sure that the ingredients are natural. Overall, the packaging isn't very exciting and is rather simple.

The application: The application was quite hard to be honest! The texture of the treatment is very thick and gooey, almost like jelly so it was hard to spread it around my whole scalp. However I didn't have to use a lot of it, therefore it will last for a longer period. It says that you should apply it every day for best results, however I decided that I'm going to use it every other day as I don't want to wash my hair too often, because then it will lose its natural oils and make it harder for me to grow it. As soon as the product touches the skin, it automatically warms up. Sometimes it might be a little bit tingly, however I thought it was a nice burning sensation, almost like a sauna face mask, but for hair.

The results: I have used this product a few times now and I noticed that my hair is getting slightly bit thicker, like after using henna, the hair is covered in the product and stays that way for a while. My scalp isn't as flaky any more and I noticed that more hair is growing in places where it has fell out. I am very satisfied with the results so far as I have been using this product in less than a week. I will definitely buy this product again and use it all the time until my hair is stronger and thicker, but just to make sure it stays that way I will use it even then! It is a definite 10/10 and the fact that it cost me less than £10 makes it even better!
I hope this helps and that some of you will try this product out!
