Movember

I just thought I'd let you know about something quickly.. I should be doing one of my assignments but I'm just going to take a quick break. November is pretty much over and throughout November, men everywhere have been taking part in Movember for charity - my dad being one of them.

As you can see, he has done very well and overall, he's managed to raise over £300. However, the charity still needs your help. I'd really appreciate it if you could spare a few pounds and donate to my dad - or just to the charity in general.

It really is for a great cause (to raise money and awareness for men's cancer, particularly prostate cancer).

Thank you in advance and well done to anyone else who has participated!

NOTD featuring Myleene Klass Nails

I'm no manicurist and I do struggle to do things with my nails - except paint them. However, I get bored pretty easily and therefore I'm constantly changing my nails or just keeping them plain and boring. Recently, a new craze has hit the UK and 'nail wraps' have been flying off the shelves - and I can see why.

Myleene Klass is also doing her own nail wraps and I was sent two different designs -silver glittery ones and dark red. I absolutely love these nail wraps, they're easy to apply, easy or remove, look beautiful and last a lot longer than nail polish does.

To apply, you just remove the nail wrap, find the right size to fit your nail, stick it onto your nail, flatten and file down to remove the edges - so simple. You even get a nail file in each pack! 

The image above is from two full days of wear and tear at work and they're still looking pretty good and going strong. I've had no end of compliments about my nails and I can't stop looking at them! The pictures don't do the shininess justice. They're perfect for Christmas and the best thing? They don't take forever to remove like everyday glitter polishes do.

These wraps are available here.

Quick Update

Just a quick update post!

I now work at Boots both Saturday's and Sunday's. It's a good job, I enjoy being around people and advising them on what products would suit them. However, I work long days and it's pretty tiring and my feet end up hurting!

I went out last night for the first time in 4 weeks - I know, what a bad student! 

I'm still loving university. I've met the most amazing people here and I know that they're going to remain my friends for life.

I still can't get over the fact that I danced onstage with Britney and whenever someone asks me about it, I start to tear up. It's also her 30th birthday soon (she's sold 200 million records so far and she's not even 30)! And her team have asked us fans to upload birthday messages to YouTube to show her at her birthday bash.. Here is mine (it's awful, as is the sound)

I have a lot of products to review and I'm excited for my up and coming posts. However, after just handing in my first assignments, I've now been set more. I'll try and find time but I can't guarantee it I'm afraid.

How is everyone?

For The Record

I've been ill this week so I've had a lot of spare time when I haven't been sleeping. So what do I do when I'm stuck in my room for the majority of the day? Watch Britney programmes of course.

My all time favourite Britney documentary has to be 'For The Record.' It was her first interview she did after her breakdown and it shows a lot of insight into who she is. It shows the real her. And the show has a lot of inspiration quotes.

For me as a fan, it's a shame that a lot of people make assumptions about Britney. They assume she took drugs during her breakdown, they assume it was all her fault, they assume she's stuck up and boring. But if they delve a little deeper, if they watched programmes such as FTR and read books on her, they'd understand her a little bit more. But I guess it's just the fans that know the truth. Although I'd love the whole world to know. Rant over!

Anyway, I've been feeling uninspired for writing beauty related posts recently and I just had to write about FTR because I've watched it so many times this week. So if you're interested and you've never seen the show, you can watch it here.

To me, everyone is interested in Britney Spears. There's no doubting the impact that she's had on the music industry and the world. She's been through a lot yet she's back on top and she did that whilst the majority of the world was against her.

TRESemme Split Remedy Review

If you read my blog often then you'll know how much I adore TRESemme. In fact, look through my haircare products and 90% of them will be TRESemme. It's just a brand that works for my hair - and it's very affordable too. TRESemme have recently introduced a new range called Split Remedy which includes 5 products that help keep split ends under control.

L-R Shampoo, Conditioner, Sealing Serum, Leave-In Treatment, Intense Recovery Masque.

First, I'll tell you a bit of background about my hair. It's very long and I don't get it cut. I don't get it cut because when I do, it just doesn't grow. So instead of getting it cut, I look after it really well and I'm prone to split ends. Before trying out this range, Herbal Essences Split End range was my saviour however, I do prefer the TRESemme range.

I've been using it for a while now - around 2 weeks. I do wash my hair everyday because my hair is prone to oilyness; I know it's bad and I should stop but I can't. Anyway, the shampoo and conditioner are perfect for everyday use and I don't get product build up when using them. The conditioner is also really great for adding moisture to my hair - but not a lot so that it's weighed down and greasy. The Intensive Masque is incredible. I use it every 3 days all the way through my hair and my hair feels beautifully soft but once again, not weighed down or greasy. I have to use hair masque's often so that my hair is kept in good condition and I think I've found my favourite. The treatment products are also fantastic. Once again, weightless and they don't leave my hair feeling greasy. But instead, shiny and sleek! I've also noticed a difference in my split ends - I don't have any. Normally, I'd have a few but I literally don't have any now and they're completely sealed which is fanastic.

My hair looks gorgeous - soft, sleek and incredibly healthy. The range also has a beautiful, light, natural smell and my sister even said to me 'you smell nice!' And it was because of my hair which is fabulous. I'm completely in love with this range and I think I've found my favourite hair care range! Found out more about the range here.

Another thing, a few months I went to the TRESemme and BNTM event with Rosalyn and Asma. I haven't yet wrote about it as I've been pretty busy since and it's sort of gone to the end of my 'to-do' list. However, I'll quickly write about it now. All three of us got our hair done by the wonderful Matthew Curtis. I of course went for curly hair as it's something that I can never re-create at home and I absolutely loved it. He's such an incredible hair stylist! And Rosalyn and Asma also looks beautiful too :)

I also took my mum with me and she had a fabulous time! It was great for her to find our more about blogging. She reads my blog but she doesn't know much about it. So it was an experience for her :)

What are your favourite TRESemme products?
