Competition – Win a month’s supply of Sudocrem Skin Recovery Cream

Today I’m happy to share with you a giveaway for a month’s supply of Sudocrem’s new Skin Recovery Cream. It’s silky smooth and makes your skin feel wonderful. I get quite dry skin at this time of year, and by using the cream before bed, I’ve seen a difference when I wake up in the mornings. Plus I’ve only been using it for 5 days.

Living close to the beach and of course being out in the garden all Summer. We have had the most gorgeous hot weather, and I do use factor 50 sunscreen due to my fair skin. But inevitably my skin needs a little time to recover from the sun.

Beard Gifts – A Guide For The Bearded Man In Your Life

Dad, husband, son, grandad – whoever it is, treat the man in your life to practical beard gifts they can use again and again.

Let’s be honest; living with males has its many perks alongside some rather annoying habits. There are the fun times of going for a Sunday walk in the countryside, watching a good film or having a gathering with friends and family, and then there’s leaving the toilet seat up and scattering beard hairs in the sink from shaving! The good definitely outweighs the bad thankfully, and what better way to show your appreciation to the men in your life than to get them a gift. Beard gifts, although they may not usually be your first port of call, could be the ideal gift you’re after for those big occasions.

Top Hair Trends for Summer 2018

*This is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own.

As we approach Summer, it’s time to look at the top hair trends for Summer 2018. Bold experimental looks and colours are all in. With throwback looks of the 70’s and 90’s. Middle partings and oversized braids are going to be huge this year.

Hair Styles

Sleek and structured updos are big on the catwalk. They show off the face, team it with a stunning dress and you are sorted for a night out.

Short bob styles with the ends curled in are big news for the easy to maintain look. In fact if you have a problem with a receding hairline and not feeling the most confident you can opt for lace front wigs which can make you feel amazing about your hair. You wouldn’t know it but the woman in the photo below is wearing one.

Review: The Twist Curling Wand from Xtava

It’s been awhile since I curled my hair, in fact I have always been a fan of straightening it. So when I was accepted to review this curling wand from xtava, I thought it was a good time to put some curls into my hair, long bouncy curls not tight ringlets.

I was pleasantly surprised at the packaging, you see the curling wand is a steal at only £20. It’s packaging would suggest a price at the top end, maybe closer to £80-£100. Inside the geometric designed box is another hard black box which contains the travel pouch containing the curling wand. Also included is a heat-resistant glove and instruction booklet.
