LIFESTYLE: WHAT FAMILY MEANS TO ME ?


Today's post is a little different, I want my blog to be a little bit more personal and I want to start documenting things again. When I started blogging it was more of a diary where I could write about things and it quickly turned a place full of beauty reviews etc... I am still going to feature beauty reviews but maybe some more personal posts too.

So what family means to me? I have a huge family aswell as alot of friends and other people in my life that I would consider family. Just a handful of these people are in pictures above.

My family mean the world to me and I love spending time with them. We always celebrate special occasions such as birthdays, Christmas and new year together. It's lovely having such a close family, that I get to see all the time. We are all close and we share everything, I announced my pregnancy very early to my family because I knew they would all be so excited.

As I said it's not just blood relatives that I class as family, I have a few friends that i'm really close to and I share everything with them, I get to see them regularly and we enjoy our time together, celebrate special occasions as well as just catching up over a coffee.

I think family means those very important people in your life that you want to share everything with, you enjoy spending your holidays together, share your important news with them, celebrate all those special occasions together. I love my family so so much and really cherish the time we all spend together. I am very lucky to have a lot of friends and family around me as not everyone is so lucky. I am lucky to have parents that are still married and my moms parents are still married and alive and a huge part of my life. Clints parents are amazing too.

Being happy for them and celebrating their achievements and successes! Wanting them to get the best out of life and be happy!

We do have our ups and downs like any family and sometimes you might need help when trying to resolve family issues. We live in a modern world where people get divorced or have to fight for custody of their kids and getting a lawyer or solicitor involved is your only choice. Slater Gordon is just that and make family matters simple and less stressful for you.

What does your family mean to you? Do you have a really small but close family? Do you even talk/see your family? Do you have a long distance relationship with your family?

Here's an interesting infographic put together by Slater Gordon, it's full of statistics and information about modern day family.

REVIEW: TRESEMME RENEWAL HAIR AND SCALP


I've been using TRESemme Renewal Hair and Scalp* for a couple of weeks now and I wanted to let you know how i've been getting on with it. 

I used to use TRESemme when I was younger, its what my mom would buy because of the massive bottle and affordable price. Me and my sister would wash our hair way to much so this was a great value for money. I found my hair got greasy really fast, however I now know I shouldn't have been washing my hair so much and I was actually making my hair go greasy quicker because I was washing all of the natural oils out. I now wash my hair every other day or couple of days depending on what i'm doing and if I have any dry shampoo. 

When I read about this range I really wanted to test it, I have a dry scalp and use hydrating hair care products aswell as products for damaged hair. 

The shampoo is lovely, it's really easy to apply and makes the hair feel soft and clean, I rinse and repeat as I do with all shampoo because I use so much product. I wash once to get the products out my hair and then again to cleanse.  It smells lovely and leaves my hair feeling soft and clean. I then follow with the conditioner, apply from mid-length to the ends. I've found my hairs feeling really good and easy to manage. My scalp sometimes flakes but it's been fine since I started using this instead of my Bedhead range. 

I've used the conditioning masque a couple of times, it leaves the hair feeling really soft, I sometimes struggle with masks and treatments because they make my hair greasier but this has left it feeling clean and soft. I've been really impressed with this range, i'd be tempted to try some more of TRESemme's products, i'm not sure if it's just this range that i'm really impressed with or if they have changed their formula since I used it before
