Alike many others, this is my favourite bubble bar from Lush, as it produces fruitful bubbles that help transform your boring bath, into one covered in foamy bubbles

A New Routine Addition: Honest Sunscreen

'Spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and early skin aging'

This quote directly from The Honest Co. website, helped persuade me into using this product every day since I received it!


The Honest Co.'s Honest Sunscreen Lotion is a safe and effective away to provide a broad spectrum SPF 30 protection, with the use of natural mineral based ingredients that are non-toxic, non-nano, and cruelty free!

This sunscreen is easy to apply, as the non-greasy formula is thick in texture and can simply be applied liberally to the

August Haul

Today is one of those days where I have no internet, so instead went shopping! I managed to pick a few bits up, including the harem pants I fell in love with, and also have included the purchased outfits for my boyfriend!

The Craze of Hair Chalks

As summer approached, in combination with the popularity of coloured dyed hair, the use of hair chalks swiftly arrived!

This craze became very popular especially with festivals around the corner, as it is a fast and non-permanent way to make your hair looks in style and colourful! 



I purchased some pastel hair chalk to try out to easily add colour to my hair for the summer! These can be found for cheap on the internet. 
Upon first impressions, I used these colours on my wet hair, and

Argan Hair Oils


Oiling hair is wonderfully beneficial, as it can form a protective layer, whilst nourishing your hair! I've found adding a hair oil to your hair care routine, can be worthwhile, especially during summer.

I had not before considered using a hair oil until I received two samples through my door! Both are based with Argan Oil and both state to apply to damp hair and massage in. By trying these after I had washed my hair, it gave me the opportunity to compare the two, to see their fab benefits. 

Argan Dew: Miraculous Argan Oil- daily hair treatment*

Similar to their hair mask, their Miraculous Oil rehydrates, repairs and nourishing all of your hair. As it contains nutrients, vitamins and antioxidants it helps to improve hair strength, prevent frizz and creates a lasting healthy glossy shine on hair for the rest of the day.
 It also pleases me to know that this product is SLS, paraben and alcohol free, and is cruelty-free. Seriously, a great hair oil to help your hair get in great condition.

This product is available from their website, but specifically can be found here for roughly £25 for 100ml glass bottle.


Beauty Protector: Protect & Oil

As stated when receiving this in my Birchbox, this hair oil has a sweet vanilla scent, and somewhat gloopy texture. As well as leaving your hair glossy, this oil focuses on protecting against UV rays and heat damage, as well as strengthening hair strands. Alike Argan Dew, this hair oil is also a paraben-free formula and cruelty-free!

Available for purchase through Birchbox, this product comes in 118ml plastic bottle at £16, the more price-friendly product out of the two.


Both of these products have helped to make my hair really soft and glossy continuously! If I'm going to use heat, I'll grab Beauty Protector, but if not then every few days I will stick to Argan Dew!

These two hair oils have been wonderful additions to my hair care routine. I look forward to continuing to use these, to get the best out of my hair. 

Bring on summer with my healthy and shiny hair!
