So as a new fashion series on my blog, I thought I'd share my top 5 picks from a variety of online stores with you. Each post will feature a different store or website and will show you five items I'm loving from them. What better way to start this series off than with an Irish online store, Vavavoom.
If you've been following my blog or any of my social media for a while, you'll know that I've always had really long hair. I've only ever had short hair (above my shoulder) when I was like 13 and it was horrendous! So bad that I decided to do it all again at 19 the day before my cousin's wedding - DISASTER! I know short hair doesn't really suit me but lately my long hair has just been so annoying and difficult to manage. It was dry and brittle at the ends and so long that it was constantly getting stuck in zips, handbags and car doors - how inconvenient!
I've been wanting to chop it off so much recently and last week, I finally went and did it. Well I didn't, my mom did :P now fear not, she used be a hairdresser so I was in capable hands! I got it cut to roughly just past my shoulders (a good bit shorter than where it was before below my ribs!) and I must say I am so happy with it. It's so much easier to manage and it feels way healthier. I'm so glad I cut it and am now contemplating going even shorter (Kevin will definitely start panicking when he reads this part due to my previous hair traumas haha!).
Here's a very quick before and after that I posted on my Snapchat (rfairydustblog). Let me know what you think!
So as Valentine's Day is coming up, I thought I'd put together a quick post on some ideas for hair, make up and outfits. I've done similar posts before where I did separate posts on hairstyles, make up and outfits but this year I thought I'd make it easier for people and combine everything into one post. Hope you like it - let me know your favs in the comments! Enjoy your Valentine's Day :)
I picked up this facial scrub from Boots a few months ago when my skin was feeling in need of some TLC! I had heard great things about charcoal facial scrubs and when I saw this from the Boots range I said I'd give it a go.
Although I have quite thick hair, when I straighten it it's often very flat which is something I really don't like. I've tried so many different volumising powders, mousses and sprays that either simply don't work or leave my hair feeling really sticky and in need of a serious wash! When I got the Viviscal* volumising powder I was sceptical that it would work given my lack of previous luck with similar products. However, I was so surprised with the results when I used it and it's now part of my weekend hair routine.
