Leave a comment

I don’t get a blow-dry often. Most natural girls I know, don’t, unless it’s for a very special occasion or for a length check. I honestly prefer myself with curls but I head down to my favourite stylist, Michelle at Stylish Steppers,every now and again to change up my look.

I do it because, they give the best head massages, they get rid of the build up I struggle with, they know if I need a trim and they use premium products and treatments. I have left there with a fro, but yesterday I felt the need to go sleek. Since I don’t blow-dry my hair more than once every few months and am no longer using chemical straighteners I’ve had to learn a few tricks to make the look last…

I found the best-priced skincare range (for my face)

3 Comments
Well, at least I think I did. I was looking for the best-priced skincare range because on one hand it’s practically cheaper to fill the car with champagne than petrol these days and on the other hand, I am way too grown to not have skin care regimen of some sort.
 
So when Oh So Heavenly asked me to try out one of their product ranges I thought, it was as good a time as ever to start looking after my skin properly.

Testing inexpensive kitchen gadgets

I have a thing for gadgets, Aidan as well, we watch a lot of gadget reviews on YouTube and inexpensive kitchen gadget hunting has become a bit of a mom/son activity. The focus is usually on inexpensive kitchen gadgets because another thing we have in common is misplacing things…
