A Wander In The Woods

I came across some pics that my dad took of me in the summer and thought I would share a couple of them with you. I wanted to mix different textures and prints using the colour black to see how it came across on camera. I don't think I have missed my calling on the modelling front but it was all a bit of fun. Hope you like!

Hair Raising!

I know of many women who spend a great amount of time getting their hair to look smooth, sleek and sophisticated. Whilst I on the other hand, love the big, messy, just rolled out of bed look.

Born with ringlets of hair as a baby, my curls have morphed into waves thanks to a few years of using straighteners in my early twenties. With my tresses at chest level, I find that rather than looking like a long haired version of Mel B in her Sporty Spice days, I veer more towards resembling ageing rocker,  Ozzy Osbourne. I want big and bouncy, not flat and lifeless.

I have tried many products promising to give my hair volume but nothing has really worked for me. I am not the kind of girl who walks about with rollers in for half the day or spends hours backcombing. What I need is something quick and easy, that actually works. So when I came across 'got2b' volumizing styling powder by Schwarzkopf, I thought I would give it a go.


The bottle is not big but a little goes a long way.


You can either pour a small amount into your hands, rub them together and apply mainly to the roots or pour it straight onto your hair for extra volume.


When you rub the powder between your fingers it disappears, leaving a gritty, almost tacky feeling which you then rub into your roots to provide the volume.

I have to say, I am quite impressed with this. Now instead of having hair which resembles my least favourite vegetable, the mushroom, with this product I am left with lovely, big, full and a very much volumized head of hair from root to tip. Me likey!
