PRETTY YOUNG THING

I was kindly invited to have a cut and blow dry last week at the Francesco group salon in Birmingham. I was really excited to get my hair done, it actually ended up being a pamper day, I got my hair, eyebrows and my make up done.

I hadn't had my hair cut for a few months, probably about 4 months ago. I had it cut into a long bob as I wanted it to look fresh and healthy, I decided to have the same done this time because it felt like it was due a good chop.

We started by discussing what I wanted and got started. The lovely Grace was really cool and I felt very comfortable with her. She decided to go for a hydrating shampoo and conditioner as I use alot of heat on my hair and because of the cold weather. She also used a lotion on my scalp as i've had some dry skin from the cold. I love having my hair washed at the salon it always feels so clean.

Next she started cutting, she made it slightly shorter at the back so the length fell really nice at the front. She was really quick when cutting my hair but it looks so good! She used Luxe Oil on my hair and I had my hair blow dried straight. I like to have abit of texture in the ends so she used a texturising spray and some hairspray.

and tah dah...

i'm so happy with the outcome, my hair looks so much more healthier and thick again. It actually looks a different colour aswell which was weird, I think its because my hair is so clean. I was so happy with the service and i'd recommend the salon to my friends and family. I know i'll return again.

It's February ! Soo many people book their holidays around this time of year, we normally book our holiday about now but because we're going to Florida this year we booked back in November. It's hard to decide where to go on holiday because there's so many places to go! Normally when were looking at places to go I want to go somewhere hot, I go on holiday to relax and get a tan. This year we've gone for the opposite, Florida is going to be 2 weeks of non stop theme parks and shopping, but it's an experience. For a normal 2 weeks in the sun I don't really mind how long the flight is because I like flying, I want somewhere I can relax and get a nice tan, I go on holiday with my boyfriend and we like to have a shop and a little party so need to be in a good location!

Holiday Gems have made this really handy quiz to help you decide where to go on your holiday. There's a few simple questions to answer such as who you go on holiday with and what you like to do on holiday, once you've answered the questions it gives you a destination based on your answers and tells you why they have picked this destination. They also give you some alternative destinations aswell so if you've already been somewhere you have other options.

I thought it would be funny to put in my dates as March, which is when i'm going to Florida, warm weather, going on holiday with family and older kids and want to go on holiday to shop and for the pool and my answer was Orlando! Crazy!! haha.

You don't have to book whatever destination comes out, it's just a bit of fun and you never know somewhere you never would have thought of might come out. I had another go and picked a summer date, hot weather to chill out with Clint and Morrocco came out! I've looked at Morrocco before and I think it would be a great holiday destination for us.

So the days are getting longer and it's much lighter outside Spring is coming yay! I hate being cold, I can't wait for it to get warm again. I thought id put together a few ways you can bring your winter knits into the spring season. It's still really cold outside so it's not time to put away the jumpers just yet so heres how you can bring them into spring.

First of all i've gone for this gorgeous Grey cashmere polo neck jumper , i've been loving polo necks this season. They look so good and are so easy to pop on. Pastels have been huge for the last few seasons and I don't think thats going to change this Spring. This black skirt with the lace panel on the bottom is such a pretty skirt for the spring season. Along with the black boots this creates such a gorgeous monochrome outfit and then i've added the pastel pink leather jacket and the mint bag to add a pop of colour.

Next up is nauticals, always a great choice for Spring. I love navy and stripes. They are just so easy to pop on with a pair of jeans. This boyfriend jeans are perfect to pop on as a casual outfit. I've picked out a few more nautical related items like this pretty dress, which I would pop a plain jumper or even a jumper with a different pattern on it as Clashing prints is really strong.
