Hi all

So I haven't really shared anything recently as I've been working hard on JuicePlus - all explained on my other blog (juiceplusuk.blogspot.com) however I will be doing my hair product review in about a weeks time! But today, I want to share with you some new purchases!

I love this look so much! If it was sunny outside, I would actually wear it!

Hair Growth and Product Review Update

So this post is all about the progress with the products I am using for hair growth, in my previous post called 'Hair Growth and Hair Products'. I have been keeping my hair as natural as possible, no heat and just embracing my natural curls and waves I guess. All you girls should do it! Just to give your hair a break from all the products and heat and allow it to just breath, plus, it is such a nice feeling to be natural (so I think anyways!), plus it cuts down time to get ready! I am currently on my third week of using these specific products (as I have also added a few) which are:

1.  Lee Stafford's treatment "for hair that never grows past a certain length" 
2. Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Colour Deep Treatment
3. Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Luscious Long Deep Treatment
4. Coconut Oil
5. Castor Oil

I have also changed my diet to being more healthy, so more balanced instead of junk food! I am currently clean eating and detoxing, which is really refreshing. I have been told that effects hair growth and condition, and if I am honest, I do believe that.

So, this photo was taken on the 26th April 2013:

This was only three days after I wrote 'Hair Growth and Hair Products', so this is where my hair was around about two/three weeks ago.

This photo was taken on the 8th May 2013:

Personally, I am really pleased at the rate it is growing, as before it was growing, but not at the speed I necessarily want it to, so I have been trying to help it along in any way I can. I am excited to see what my hair will be like in my final update, which I will be doing on the 16th June 2013!

I thought I would quickly share a my new oils that I am using with you!

Coconut Oil

Coconut Oil is pretty much a gods send for damaged and broken hair, however, if your hair is in good condition, this is still relevant to you. I have been using Coconut Oil as a Hot Oil Treatment once a week on my hair and leaving it in for as long as I want to (could be a couple of hours, over night or a day long). Yes it makes your hair greasy (if you have the same hair type as I do), but if you put it up into a bun and you have nothing else to do what have you got to lose, as I have had exams recently, so all I have been doing is revising in my apartment! Coconut Oil, I have noticed, is really good for strengthening your hair and preventing breakage, which is especially good if you are like me and wanting to grow your hair as healthy as possible. I have done a post on Coconut Oil specifically to Hot Oil Treatments and how I personally do it, so if you want more information on that, check it out. However, some benefits of Coconut Oil include: 

1. Coconut Oil stimulates hair growth, as it is able to penetrate the follicles unlike many natural oils.
2. Promotes health of the scalp, fighting against such problems like dandruff. 
3.  Coconut Oil moisturises dry hair. 
4.  Adds luster, shine and softness to the hair
5.  Prevents hair breakage and split ends. 
6.  Slows down hair loss. 

Therefore this oil is good for a general treatment just to make your hair keep in good condition! I will give a more specific review of advantages and disadvantages in June when I have used it more. Although, the results I have had already are really good, so I definitely recommend 100% Pure Coconut Oil.

Castor Oil

I did my research for a while with Castor Oil, and the results I saw on Google and YouTube where amazing for hair growth and thickness of hair. Here are some other benefits of Castor Oil, which I got from this website which has a lot more information on: (http://www.livestrong.com/article/300875-castor-oil-effects-on-hair-growth/):

1. Prevents Hair Loss
2. Moisturises Scalp
3. Controls Split Ends
4. Improves Circulation 

This oil is a really thick oil, so I don't use a lot on my hair at all so it does not create build up on my scalp. However, I do also massage this oil into my scalp about once a week, sometimes I mix it with my  Coconut Oil Hot Oil Treatments (only a little bit though, as you do not need a lot). I have noticed it does similar advantages for hair as Coconut Oil does, such as strengthening hair and preventing breakage, however, for my hair type, it does other wonders! I noticed my hair was extra soft, shiny and generally better when I have been using this oil. I probably prefer this oil to Coconut Oil, although, I will always still use Coconut Oil and these oils compliment each other well when mixed together for Hot Oil Treatments and so on. I had some trouble finding Castor Oil, as Tesco and other supermarkets do not sell it, but eBay sells it for cheap and stores like Holland and Barrett (which is where I got mine from). 

Again, I will do a more in-depth review in June for you all, however, I thought I would share this with you all now and blog my progress with my hair growth.

If you have any comments, advice, suggestions or questions, please don't hesitate to comment!

New Purchases

So! Today was one of my last exams! This year at university has gone so quickly I can hardly believe it. So me and my girls went for a meal at Tinseltown and then we went shopping, so I thought I would share my new outfit with all of you.

First, Tinseltown is fucking amazing for shakes! Ah, me and my girls deserved a break! We've been working so hard lately. After we went shopping, and our bad influences upon each other made me buy a whole new outfit which I will wear Sunday when I meet my parents in beautiful Birmingham! I can't wait to just get away for a little bit to have a proper break.

Here is my outfit I brought today:

Crop Jumper: Topshop

'Joggers': Topshop

'Pointy Toe' Shoes: Zara

I hardly buy anything from Topshop, however, I saw this jumper and these trouser/joggers and I just could not resist. The trouser/joggers are beautiful and especially if you're curvy, they compliment the figure so well. They are also good for summer as they're really light. Then I needed to go visit my favourite store of all time, Zara, and ended up getting these shoes to match. I love 'pointy-toe' shoes due to they look so sophisticated and can go with so many outfits.
I usually go for 'all-black', or very dark colours with my purchases, however, this time I thought I would go for something different. It is mostly darker colours, but as it's summer and the sun is shining I thought I would go for something a little different.
Even if you have a bad day, retail therapy helps any kind of mood your in! Everyone loves fashion I am sure.

I'll update you all on hair reviews, products and advice soon!

Coconut Hot Oil Treatment

These are the some of the benefits of Coconut Oil on hair:

1. Coconut Oil stimulates hair growth, as it is able to penetrate the follicles unlike many natural oils.

2. Promotes health of the scalp, fighting against such problems like dandruff. 

3. Coconut Oil moisturises dry hair. 

4. Adds luster, shine and softness to the hair

5. Prevents hair breakage and split ends. 

6. Slows down hair loss. 

I have recently discovered an incredible treatment, which is called a Hot Oil Treatment. There are many different ways to do a Hot Oil Treatment, for example, different oils mixed together and so on which you can look up on Google and YouTube.  However my friend told me about coconut oil, which is meant to be good for hair growth (I will be putting what I think of coconut oil in my product review in seven weeks time for hair growth and overall condition after using it for a little longer), however, I have been using this treatment for a little while and I personally believe it's a really good, natural hair treatment, not only dry hair, but all hair conditions. I would recommend getting "Pure Coconut Oil" as it is 100% Coconut Oil with nothing added, as I love 100% natural things to condition my hair. I would also recommend this product as it's not too expensive. My hair personally is not in bad condition, but I can tell it helps the strength of my hair, even by the short period of time I've been using this product (I will be able to give a more accurate review in seven weeks time, however, I wanted to share this treatment with you all ASAP! and how I recommend you do it.)

How I do a Hot Oil Treatment

Everyone does Hot Oil Treatments differently, as some leave the oil on their hair for an hour or two, while some others leave them on for days! It all depends on your hair type. I personally wanted to take full advantage of this product, so I use it once a week on a "day-old" hair. I put Coconut Oil on as early as possible, so it could be 3PM or if I've been out 8PM/9PM and I leave it on all night and wash and deep condition in the morning. I would say if your hair is thick, you might need to shampoo your hair twice, as you want to make sure the oil is completely out of your hair. 

Firstly, depending on how long your hair is and if you want your hair completely covered in Coconut Oil or massage the Coconut Oil at the roots and comb through, you will need to use different amounts. I personally do both, one week I cover my hair in Coconut Oil from root to my ends and the next week I massage it into roots and comb the oil through my hair.

1. Heat up the oil in boiling water, you can heat up the whole bottle (which is what I do so I don't have to pour the Coconut Oil into another bottle), or you can use a Spray Bottle or something similar where you'll be able to directly apply it to your roots (which you can purchase for cheap on eBay). 

2. I pour little amounts of Coconut Oil on my hands and massage my scalp first, making sure the oil is on every part of my scalp. 

3. If I am covering my hair in Coconut Oil, I keep applying little amounts of oil onto my hands and massage it into my hair thoroughly to my ends (taking my time while doing it).

4. I then lightly put my hair into a bun (with my ends inside of the bun, making sure it can have the maximum amount of oil).

5. I cover my hair with a hair net/cover to try and hold that little bit of extra heat. After that, heat my hair with my hairdryer to keep it warm for a little longer.

6. Then leave it on, wash it off in the morning and feel how beautiful your hair feels!

I do highly recommend doing this treatment for general hair treatments which will make your hair soft, shiny and stronger. I hope this has helped, or given you suggestions! If you could give me suggestions on what else I could do, I would hugely appreciate it.

Personal Thoughts and Opinions

I thought I would share with you a few thoughts of mine, that have recently just came to the front of my mind. 

I think positivity is one of the most important factors to have within life. I think this simply because, in life everyone gets taken advantage of, everyone hurts, everyone has loss and gain, everyone has good and difficult times and everyone has troubles. Although, my way of thinking is that it is how you approach the situation is the most important. Positivity and honesty is key. So if you're annoyed, do not be scared to admit that, because you should not hide how you're feeling, but realise that you're not the only one that goes through the same or similar situations. So, my point is, you can not be annoyed about the same thing over and over, because you're damaging your own happiness, and you have yourself to blame for that. It is a very blunt way to say it, but I believe everyone is in charge of their own happiness. 

Don't get me wrong, life is a bitch with what it throws at you. But it's not just you, it's everyone and remember, people only choose to tell you what they want to tell you. So I think it's important to never assume that somebody is not hurting about something on the inside, because they might want to deal with it privately or with a few close friends (I know, because I am that kind of person). I think it is important in life to have realisation of everyone goes through something that hurts them, and why they cry sometimes at night. But the whole point of life is that you have to pick yourself back up, learn from what has happened, or hold that person you've lost in your heart and live your life. Nobody can change the past, nobody can change what is going to happen in life, so I think a positive attitude and a good foundation of family and few close friends is important in being happy.

Todays society is very negative about a number of things, but I won't personally allow that to effect how I feel about my life. I am a very blessed person, like many people I know are. At the end of the day, there is always someone out there worser of than you are and you have to count your blessings, not your problems. 

In a nutshell, my life is based on honesty, openness and happiness. I have learnt this over the past couple of years that not everyone is going to want the best for you and not everyone is doing their actions to benefit you, but them kind of people, you learn from and dismiss from your life. I have turned into, very much a blunter person at university. I do not need negativity in my life and I do not need people to put me down. The people I need are positive people, who genuinely help and support you. Weirdly, those people (except for my family) are the ones I've known for about a year or so.

I know everyone I've loved, lost and those who are in my life now and close to my heart are here to extend my happiness. I do not believe you can beat yourself up about the past or what could have been. I believe you grow and learn from it to make yourself into a better person.

Hair Growth and Hair Products

So, I thought I'd do a little review on a few products I'm using for hair growth! I'll give it eight weeks and then I'll do a review for each product for all of you. I would do it for the condition of my hair, however, the condition of my hair is in good condition already, so I'll be able to tell you all if it changes it or makes it better!

The products I am reviewing:

 Lee Stafford's treatment "for hair that never grows past a certain length" 

I am using this product as I want to make my hair grow faster, stronger and thicker. Reading a few reviews I noticed that it does all three things, which is perfect for me as I do want thicker hair and my hair to grow faster. 

I will leave this treatment on over night, twice a week.

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Colour Deep Treatment and Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Luscious Long Deep Treatment

So I use Aussie Colour Shampoo and Conditioner and they are amazing! I then noticed the treatments and I thought I might as well try them! I chose these two products as firstly, I colour my hair every month or two months and I want to do everything to protect my hair and make it in the best condition I can! (which I already do, but "every little helps" haha). I then chose the Luscious Long treatment as this specific treatment cares for dry, damaged hair and also helps to reduce breakage (which can be caused with combing and so on)

I will leave these treatments on for a couple of hours each, once a week for each.

Valupak Vitamins: Multi Vitamin and Valupak Supplements Omega - 3 Fish Oil

I have heard that the Fish Oil supplements help hair grow and in good condition, I will be taking these once a day along with Multi Vitamins as everyone likes to be healthy on the inside!

(These are what all the products look like for you all)

Although, I can already review two other products! Unique Argan Plus + Hydrating Hair Repair: All-You-Need Miracle Treatment and Unique Argan Plus + Hydrating Hair Repair: Luxury Oil. I specifically use these products instead of Moroccan Oil due to Moroccan Oil being far too heavy on my hair as it instantly goes greasy and not very nice! So if anyone had the same problem, maybe these products are for you.

Unique Argan Plus + Hydrating Hair Repair: All-You-Need Miracle Treatment

I have been using this since Christmas and I use it after every time I wash my hair and I still have more than half in the bottle, and as you can tell by the photo, it is not a very big bottle! It gives you ten benefits: hydrates and moisturises, protects hair during thermal styling, shine, detangles, seals in hair colour, strengthens hair, prevents split ends, shields hair from sun and wind damage, absorbs quickly, without greasiness and controls frizziness.

I believe all these "benefits" are true! My hair is in such good condition thanks to this product! It does exactly what it says in the bottle, and is an incredible hair product. I only use a couple of sprays on my hair and it works wonders when I comb it through. I currently am not using heat on my hair, however, when I used to, this product was amazing as it protected my hair because I noticed that my hair never really got damaged from the heat I used on it (straighteners and hairdryer). This product is perfect for you if you want the benefits included and to keep your hair nice, shiny and in amazing condition! Completely worth the money. 

Unique Argan Plus + Hydrating Hair Repair: Luxury Oil

I have been using this product the same period of time as the "All-You Need Miracle Treatment", and I replaced Moroccan Oil with this oil and it was completely worth the change. Don't get me wrong, Moroccan Oil is amazing, however, with my hair (as it's not fine, but not too thick) it was too heavy and made my hair greasy. However, this oil seems to agree with my hair more than Moroccan Oil does (even though I do use Moroccan Oil on my hair at night and wash it out in the morning - so that is always an option if you don't want to let go of Moroccan Oil!) However, this oil is perfect for straightening and for general daily care of your hair! It is also a beautiful product to replace wax, hairspray or any kind of styling product on straight hair! For me personally, it made my hair stay straight, shiny and soft until it got greasy, which is amazing as I found it tough to find a perfect product to put on my hair after I style my hair. 

However, this oil is incredible and goes so well with the Miracle Treatment! They both compliment one another and do not make your hair greasy, heavy or any of them kind of things at all! They're light products which works wonders on your hair. (Oh, and they're cheaper than Moroccan Oil, not too cheap, but they are cheaper!)

I hope that is helpful to anyone reading! For all the other products I am reviewing, I think It's wise I tell all of you that I won't be using heat on my hair, such as straighteners for the next two months! So I hope this will also help my hair grow faster! My hair is naturally really curly, and I will be using rollers on my underneath of my hair, as it is less curly unfortunately! So these reviews maybe helpful to anyone with curly hair! My natural hair is like this:

Anyone that can give me advice on how to make hair grow faster, or products for curly hair! or hair in general! Please don't hesitate to comment or make suggestions!

Purchases

The next four weeks will be hectic which will mean no posts until my exams have finished. However, I did get a few things through the post and I thought I'd share my favourite one with you all!

I genuinely love these sunglasses! Mango is killing it with their purses, sunglasses and jewellery!

Anyway, I hope everyone who has exams does well! And you all take care :-)

 This is currently the quote I am living by and will always live by:

Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction.

Rest in peace Margaret Thatcher

So, this post is on the recent death of Margaret Thatcher and all reading this will have strong opinions on her. I admit I didn't know a lot about her before she died, I knew the basics and my parents opinion on her, although, I didn't properly understand why the people who hate her, despise her so much. In all honesty, I don't agree with some of her policies, which in some aspects weren't as humane as they should've been. Saying that, I always believe there are two ways to look at a situation.

I'm not going to discuss the ins and outs of her career and which policies I do and don't agree with, but all I am going to say is that whatever anyone says, it wouldn't of changed her actions. She was a very headstrong woman who stuck by her beliefs and did not back down, and that kind of passion I admire. What other MPs had to say about Margaret Thatcher was beautiful, I especially loved what Barack Obama said about her (which I got from a newspaper article): 

  "As an unapologetic supporter of our transatlantic alliance, she knew that with strength and resolve we could win the Cold War and extend freedom's promise," Mr Obama said that Baroness Thatcher was an example to women that "there is no glass ceiling that can't be shattered... With the passing of Baroness Margaret Thatcher, the world has lost one of the great champions of freedom and liberty, and America has lost a true friend." 

I have also read that women say she did nothing for women when she was in power, although, she didn't verbally need to in my eyes. She did enough by being in the position she was in, as politics was male-dominated then and today. She had a voice which was heard and stuck by what she believed, which shows her fire and passion. Margaret Thatcher was known as "The Iron Lady", which in my eyes shows she was probably two very different people. At work she was known as "The Iron Lady" which knew what she had to get done, even though she knew she wasn't going to be liked. At home she was a wife and mother who was devoted to her family. This shows what I believe in life, that you're not always going to be liked in what you do, which is shown by what she said:

"If you just set out to be liked, you would be prepared  to compromise on anything at anytime and you would achieve nothing." 

Simply for this quote, amen to her.

My interpretation of the information I've read about her is that she liked people who worked hard for what they had and did not live of the state unnecessarily. In ways I do agree with this as some of today are lazy and I've heard on stupid shows like Jeremy Kyle people say that they don't want to work because they don't need to as they get money from the state. This is unfair, as the benefit system is meant to be for those who need them, not for those who choose to have them. (I can imagine some will disagree or agree with me on that, and that is very brief on what I think on the benefit system of today and I know every circumstance is different. But I do believe I am a very fair person, or at least I try to be). I do agree with some of her beliefs and as a woman Margaret Thatcher had such incredible achievements and strong characteristics which I'll always admire.

The hatred I see on TV is disgusting, to put it simply. I think this because she was in power for about ten years, not her whole lifetime, and people simply forget she was a wife, mother and grandmother too. To most of the public, they haven't necessarily "lost" anything, but her family has. Everyone feels loss in their life, and it's a hard process so it's best to be respectful of those who are hurting in my eyes. At this time I think people need to put aside their opinions in public and respect that there is a family mourning right now. Nobody can change the past, and Margaret Thatcher is now a big part of politics history. Everyone has a right to opinions but death is such a horrible thing and not to be celebrated for the wrong reasons. Nobody should forget that she was a family woman, as well as a politician. That is one of a number of reasons why I show my respects to her and her achievements.

These were a few of my favourite quotes by her:

"I love argument. I love debate. I don't expect anyone just to sit there and agree with me - that's not their job." 

"Any woman who understands the problems of running a home will be nearer to understanding the problems of running a country." 

"Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the high road to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction."

"If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman."

"If you just set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at anytime and you would achieve nothing."

"It is not the creation of wealth that is wrong, but the love of money for its own sake."

Dinner

Yesterday me and my parents went into Birmingham for a meal, so I thought I'll wear an all black outfit.

I love this outfit, because it involves everything which is my favourite and simple. The gold studded belt from ASOS makes this outfit I think, plus it's all black, which is my favourite colour.

We went for a few drinks and a nice meal in the Mailbox and I got a little tipsy on JD and coke as per. I love everything about this day, as it was just a nice family day. 

Tattoos

Both of my tattoo's means the world to me. They both represent family in different ways, my lost and my present. My elephant tattoo is my favourite because elephants are my favourite animal in the whole world, they present comfort to me.

All I can say is that tattoo's shouldn't have a bad reputation by some people, they have deep, meaningful meanings and tattooist's are so talented it's unbelievable. My tattoo's means everything and nobody else but me needs to know the depth of thought to these tattoo's but me. That's why I'm so intrigued in different tattoos and what the meaning is behind it. I've put in other posts that people have came up and asked me what my chest tattoo means and compliments, it is flattering and comforting because it shows people are just as intrigued in tattoos, they don't just judge in other words.

On TV tattoos can be seen negatively, but I see this as wrong. It's art and when done correctly and for a reason, it's beyond beautiful. My tattoos mean more then anything material, and I stand by that statement.

New Tattoo

Hi all,

I haven't done many blog posts recently simply for the fact I've been so busy. I have traveled home, in the snow, which was not fun, especially on public transport.

But on Saturday, I woke up and I saw so much snow, I thought I wouldn't be able to get my tattoo done, but I did! Snow doesn't stop me and my family.

My new tattoo represents my Dad, Mum and Sister. Elephants are also my favourite animal in the whole world, they represents family, loyalty, nobility, beauty and grace. This tattoo means more than any material object someone can give me, and it'll be with me forever. However, what's the bet that this tattoo will be turned into a sleeve in about ten years time? 

Everything about this tattoo is just perfect in my eyes. The healing is going perfectly.

One problem with tattoos: they're addictive as hell. If anyone wants to give me a present, give me hours to get a tattoo! It's the perfect present.

Mothers Day

Me and my parents also went to a bar that looks over Birmingham (The Cube), and it was perfect, I genuinely didn't want to go back to Leicester. I miss Birmingham like crazy and being so comfortable with knowing my surroundings. Me and my parents also bumped into one of my Dad's client, who has recently had a baby. He was so beautiful and cute, I've never seen such blue eyes in my life. My Dad's client used to be my hairdresser (before I couldn't afford her prices every six weeks), but it was so nice to see her and her baby and see how her child is now her life.

Hi all,

On Sunday for Mother's Day, I thought I would surprise my Mother in Birmingham and turn up at one of my parents favourite bars. She was so happy, it was beautiful to see my Mother genuinely surprised (for once! My family suck at keeping secrets, so).We went to a nice French restaurant, which is one of my Mum's favourites. It was delicious, I could go back right this minute if I'm honest. It was nice sharing a class of champagne with my parents and just spending a nice day with them. I wore all Zara. A new print silk top, leather trousers and wedge black shoes. I also brought a new bag not long ago, which is perfect! It goes with everything and it's a classy bag which can be casual or taken to a nice, classy place. £39 pound well spent.  I live a very blessed life and I have my father to thank for that, he's my prime example of if you work hard enough you can get anything you want. He's my motivation at university and all I want to do is make him proud of me.

Gold and Black

I had to share one of my new purchases, as it's my new favourite!

I have always wanted a gold chunky chain, so I thought the best place was eBay and I was right! This purchase was the best £5 I have ever spent in my life.

One day, when I earn enough money I will buy a real gold one, but until that day this is more then perfect. 

As you can see throughout my photos and future photos, I wear very natural make-up, no bold lipsticks (usually, maybe red every now and again) and I love my pink lipsticks and natural colours. I like knowing that I don't look hugely different with and without make-up on, it's a personal preference of mine. (That's just a useless fact about me) "What you see is what you get"

Bob Marley

Bob Marley is an inspirational figure to many, and everyone that knows me knows that I love him too. I remember watching his film and it was so genuine that I still watch it from time to time today. Bob Marley was an inspirational artist with such a beautiful soul, not many humans are like that anymore. He had such a good attitude towards life.

I have a poster of him above my laptop in my room, and I listen to his music whenever I just need to relax. He's such a "feel good" artist, and to be honest his voice is just.. too much. Bob Marley and MJ are my two absolute favourite artists (along with temporary artists such as Jay-Z). Bob Marley's music shows me personally that life is a blessing and treating people correctly is important, but treating yourself correctly is the most important. (That's how I decoded his work anyway).

I even have a t-shirt with Bob Marley on. This outfit was on the day I went out for lunch with my parents, who were catching up with me, as I haven't been home this term. It's nice to catch-up with my parents and have some yummy food, as a student you're not open to the privileges in life. I love this outfit, Zara seems to understand my simplistic needs in fashion and accommodates me perfectly.

My fashion style is usually very simplistic and I'm known for wearing all black, all the time. At the end of the day, you wear what you're comfortable with and what your natural style is. My favourite colour is black, and I love the way it looks when you put an all black outfit together, however, I do put colour on as well as wearing all black!
