Dry Shampoo....Love it or Hate it??

I discovered dry shampoo about 3 years ago.....I honestly dont know how I lived without it! Its such a time saver! If I wake up in the morning and my fringe looks a bit greasy and mank...I can just spray away and my hair looks like Ive just washed it! Or I can do the same thing if Ive been at work all day and dont have time to wash my hair before a night out! AMAZING!!

I know some people dont like dry shampoo because they think that people are just too lazy to shower etc etc.....but I really do think its a lifesaver sometimes!

I swear by Batiste. Their range of dry shampoo comes in sooo many different scents, and they also do a brilliant 'mini' selection...which are fab for popping in your bag for a weekend away! :)


But today I went shopping to get a few bits and bobs and saw this in Tesco:


They were only £2, and are the same size as the Batiste ones which are around £2.50....so I thought Id give the 'Party Nights' one a go! I will let you know what its like as soon as Ive tried it out! :)

I also bought this:

Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends: Split end protection cream.
My hairs been a bit dry recently so I thought Id try this out. I use the beautiful ends shampoo and it smells lovely! :)

Has anyone tried either of these products before??
And whats your opinion on dry shampoo?

Right....
Here we go :)
Im going to try and think of interesting things..and not bore you all to death so here goes...


  1. I love art! I did A Level Art and Photography, and I have a pretty varied taste encompassing many different aspects. 


 This is called the Eye of Deathy by Escher...How amazing is it? Look at the detail of the sketch..the reflections...the light...I think its beautiful.
Another of my favourite artists is Banksy...

Its just so intuitive....eyecatching....interesting...varied....thoughtfull.....whats not to like?
I also dabble in a bit of photography myself from time to time:

This one of mine was shown in a local exhibition...and I was in the local paper (looking like a complete mess because Id been out the night before :S Not good! )

2. I work at Tesco....

Ive worked there for about 6 years now....ever since first year of college...and I actually like working there! And its good money too!

3. I love wearing flowers in my hair!!
I wear one almost every day...im not technically supposed to wear them at work....but I do :) They are just so summery and feminine! :)

4. I almost cut my finger off last year...and had to have plastic surgery to reattach it :S (For people who are a bit squimish...i suggest you scroll down very quickly!

This is me just after I got back from day 1 at hospital (the day I cut it)
I was on my own in the flat...and trying to de-stone an avocado when I stabbed through my hand/finger...I rang up my friends who pelted right round and took me up to the local A&E.....after waiting for like 2 hours with a tea-towel wrapped round my hand to stop the bleeding I was seen by a Dr and after looking at my mess of a hand told me I would have to go to Salisbury to see a plastic surgeon...so I had 2 rng my dad and tell him what a muppet Id been and ask him to come a pick me up!
So the next day off I popped for my surgery...and this is what my hand looked like after spending a week in a massive plaster cast! (WARNING LOOK AWAY IF YOU ARE SQUIEMISH!!!)


Gross right....I had to wear a splint on my hand for 8 weeks afterwards...and it hurt like hell! I still dont have much sensation in that finger...slightly wierd!
Dont worry though...I still went out and had fun looking like an idiot!!

But I havnt eaten an Avocado since! :S

5. I have a Westie <3

Shes so cute :)

6. In May I will finish my degree in Childhood Youth and Community Studies at Winchester University

I will miss all my girlies...Ive had some fun times! :) <3

7. I am a little bit mental :P


Yes....this is me....dancing in the showers at a friends 21st! :S Why?? Well why the hell not! Lifes no fun if you cant be crazy with your friends (by the way this is Flo and Soph who tagged me{L-R})

Hope you learnt something interesting about me!

How disappointing :(

Hi guys...


I ordered these gorgeous Camel Chino Trousers from Evans last week, as I dont have many pairs of trousers in my closet and thought they looked really nice and they were £18 at the time because there was a 20% of sale!!

I ordered them in a size 22 (UK) because every other pair of trousers I have (inc jeans) are an 18/20/22 so I went for the safe option and thought theyd be fine....however I could barely even get them up over my knees!! :( I thought there must have been a mistake!
So I checked on the label on the inside of the trousers as well as the tag....but they still said they were a 22!
Ive never ordered trousers from Evans before....and if I do so again I will definately have to order a 24/26 :'( Thats quite depressing! Ive bought dresses from them before and only bought a 20! How wierd!


Word to the wise ladies......Evans trousers come up really small!!
Im so disappointed because I loved these trousers! I thought they would be perfect for my holiday! and they would if they had fit!!

Has anyone else had any similar issues??

Love
