This is something totally different for me to be logging about but I have really gone into smoothies lately. I have a large blender that I have used for a few years but I thought that something like this would be good for making a smoothie easily without having to use the big blender Box Contains:- Main unit with electrics & speed settings- Blender attachment- Food processor attachment container- Whisk attachment- 800ml beaker- InstructionsThe first thing I noticed was how quiet it was, I was expecting it to very loud like my other blender but it really wasn't....

The majority of my life I’ve had long hair and it’s always been thick. It can take hours to dry. Right out of the shower, my hair will immediately soak through a  normal towel. When using a large towel, my neck will start to hurt after just a few minutes and they never stay tucked under for a consistent, tight hold. Since I’ve been using an Aquis towel, I didn't  realise how good it was until I’m away and have to use a regular towel for my hair. The Aquis towel is machine washable, which for me, is great, as I do my makeup before styling my hair,...

'If the Earth is not nourished you'll never grow beautiful flowers'What is it:“Protein based complex to fertilize your follicles, creating a healthy environment on the scalp to help hair grow faster and reach its maximum potential"How it works: Hair goes through a natural cycle. Each strand is unanchored from it's root every 1-3 years. If you're lucky and your hair has a long cycle (3 years) the hair will grow longer than average. But if you feel your hair gets to that point (usually a couple of inches past the shoulder) were it stops growing then your hair has...

I have always loved my red cherry lashes these are what I have been used to and stuck with for quiet a while now. I was keen to try these Theads Beauty lashes as I prefer them to have a thinner band that is easier to bed and fits more comfortably across my eye. These are as comfortable as the Red Cherry lashes which is great  The lashes I used to create this look were the be-bop lashes. They have really cool names. I started by priming my eyes with my Collection concealer and used my Naked Smokey eye pallet starting from a light shade in the inner corner...

What they say: "Achieve the ultimate look in lash fullness! Clump - and smudgeI got on really well with this mascara. I was impressed with the wand it is quiet big and a dense brush this is brilliant for creating volume on your lashes. Only thing I would say is that when it is first opened it is quite watery so is prone for clumping if you add too much too quickly. I used 2 thin coats and this was not an issues, think it just takes some practice of finding the best way of applying different mascaras as they have different consistencies. Overall this is a very good...

I got time to have a play with my makeup before going out tonight. I loving having the time to experimentI started by moisturising my skin I love the Simple light moisturiser then primed with the Loreal Paris Skin Perfection primer. I used the Nip and Fab eye roller about my eyes. I have found that this has helped to moisturise my eye area and I think it has helped with my eye bags a little to!Next I moved onto my eyes. I primed my eyelids with some concealer I used the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in light, I find that a concealer works just as well as...
