PRODUCTS FOR THINNING & FINE HAIR FROM JOHN MASTERS ORGANICS

Yay it finally feels like Spring! Hope you're having a lovely April so far, this is my fav time of year - flowers are blooming, days feels warmers and I've got 3 birthdays to celebrate this month - mine, Hang's and baby's :)

So with a Spring in the air, I've decided to get out of my slummy mummy rut and focus on myself for a change, starting with my hair! I've never been a hair care kind of girl and usually buy my shampoo with my online groceries shop. Now a days, hair care is top of my list especially when I'm dealing with the dreaded hair loss post having a baby. I had pretty thick and healthy hair whilst I was pregnant. I did hear that thinning hair and hair loss post baby was very common and it wasn't until 5 months, I was shedding hair like nobodies business! It wasn't just a few strands here and there but big clumps and I hated washing my wash, just to see more and more strands. I'm constantly nipping around the flat with our Dyson vacuum collecting all the hair, not a good look at all.

FREE ECO WATER BOTTLE OFFER FROM CAUDALIE!

Happy July guys, hope you're having a lovely Summer so far. It's been hot hot hot here in the UK, which sounds good but it's not when you live in a busy city and a small flat - even a short trip on the bus is a mission in the heat! Heatwave aside, June was a fun month with lots of baby visits and meeting friends. I've also been discovering more local shops and restaurants including this cute pop up shop in Dulwich, (run by creative mums, lots of gorgeous things in there.) I also attended a cool Levis event, it was the first time I went to an event with baby and he was very well behaved :)

HAIRCUT AT RUSH SALON, LONDON

Is it just me that's sometimes too lazy to book in a haircut? It's been nearly 4 months since my last trim and my locks haven't been luscious as promised from pregnancy ;) Anyway I was ready to swap my long, lank and dry ends for a fresher cut. In the last weeks before baby coming, my sister told me make sure you go to the dentist, doctors, opticians and get a haircut! So it was perfect timing when I was offered a complimentary cut and blow dry at Rush hair salon :) I was looking forward for a pamper session. I usually go to a small local hairdressers, no thrills and not very modern or stylish!

NEW FROM KORRES, LAVENDER BLOSSOM BATH & BODY SET

I've built up a little collection of bath and body bits to treat my skin too, because the quickest way to lift my mood is smelling and feeling good! So girls I wanted to share with you some new Korres goodies, the natural Greek skincare brand's philosophy is to 'inspired and make us happy.'

KOREAN SKINCARE ON TRIAL, MISSHA ESSENCE & KLAIRS VITAMIN C

I know I'm super late to K-beauty train but better late than never right? There were a few reasons why I've never venture into Korean skincare before even though I'm obsessed with all things skincare! There was just so much on the market I didn't know where to start, I had friends bring up sheet masks back from Seoul now and then and I've tried the Laneige Water Sleeping Mask but my knowledge was limited. There was also the issue with availability in the UK, I'm such an impatience Annie I like to stroll in a shop and pick up items to try out straight away. Anyway these factors aside, I've now ventured into this beauty world and I'm hooked!

3 FACE MASKS FOR CLEARER & BRIGHTER SKIN

Hope you're having a fab week guys, any plans for Halloween? I won't be donning a scary mask but most likely one of my favourite face masks (which I sure Hang would say I look pretty scary!) When I have any skin woes I find a face mask always does the trick. It's probably the change of season but my skin has been playing havoc and looking less fresh and more dull. Having combination skin that's blemish prone, I find my skin can be high maintenance but these 3 face masks are my go to for clearer and brighter skin, hurray!

3 FACIAL MISTS TO TRY THIS SUMMER

Hope you guys had a nice weekend? It's been a bit of a crazy week here in the UK what with the floodings, Euros and Brexit. I won't go into too much politics but after the decision for the UK to leave the EU, I feel really sadden and disappointed with the news. It goes to show how fear can have such a strong effect on different generations and I feel apprehensive to what the future holds for Britain on it's own.

I wouldn't call myself a skincare junkie but I do love using an array of products to beautify my skin over night. You girls with me?

They last for a few weeks and then start to fall out naturally.
