I got these two products a few months ago and I've started reusing them again: R&B leave-in and Curly Wurly shampoo. Not going to lie, both of them are expensive af BUT my friend gifted both of them sooo thanks b ;) 👻

I have curly hair so both of these products are most definitely suited for my hair type, especially the R&B cream. It's a really thick and heavy leave in conditioner which is always good for curly hair because it gets so dry, especially in the winter. My hair gets quite thin and brittle in the cold weather so this product is really good at keeping your curls moisturised and looking healthy. If you have straight or fine hair when this is definitely not the product for you because it will weigh down your hair big time. It has avocado butter, coconut oil, olive oil and so many more ingredients that are reeaaalllyyy good for your hair,

Shampoo isn't usually that exciting and it isn't recommended because of all the harsh chemicals it contains but Imma still use it. The 'Curly Wurly' shampoo is probably the weirdest shampoo I've ever used because of its texture, it has desiccated coconut bits so it's a bit like an exfoliated-type formula...it's strange. Just like the leave-in, this has so many oils and butters in it which allows it to be so gentle and hydrating. Only problem is that the desiccated coconut chunks kinda get stuck in your curls which is always 'fun' 🙂 but I'll let it slide because it's one of the only shampoos that doesn't leave my hair feeling stripped and dry.

Basically, I love both of these products and would probably cry if they get discontinued- especially the leave in. If you're curly haired then I would definitely suggest you at least ask for testers of these products because they're fab. I might do a curly hair routine soon so if you're interested then let me know in the comments (I sound like those typical beauty gurus: like, comment and subscribe!)

Well well well, what do we have here...an outfit post? shock horror, "but you aint even done one in nearly a year!" yes I know I'm sorry arrest me.

I have missed taking outfit pictures so much it's crazy. We redecorated the house so the walls are white or grey and we have new darker flooring so I guess I might as well use it to my advantage for super basic and minimalist shots. I go to a sixth form where I can wear anything I want which is great, I did try to make an effort with my dressing during the first few weeks but now that has all gone down the drain. I call this outfit my roadman outfit (if you're not from SE london I recommend you look up the definition on urban dictionary) mainly because of the North Face jacket, which is actually my sisters huuuuuh, and the hoodie.

I've been searching for a hoodie that didn't cost £50+ and was actually fluffy/soft on the inside and one day in h&m I saw this grey one. I checked the price expecting it to be around £25 AND THEN I SAW THAT IT WAS £9.99 I died m'boiiii. I've worn this basically everyday since I got it because it's just so soft and comfortable. Whilst in that same h&m (the one in 'One New Change' shopping centre near St Pauls highly recommend as it's so empty) I saw a pair of black structured, jogging yet smart type trousers and I just couldn't leave them behind, these were £19.99 but are a staple and can be matched with many other items I have. Only thing that's a bit ":/" about these trousers is that they attract so. much. lint I basically have to lint roll them throughout the day grrr.

My shoes are the standard New balance 373 which are the only trainers I ever wear to sixth form. They're just really easy to wear and go with any outfit.

I'm not one to wear hair accessories, especially when my hair is the accessory, but I saw this headband in the sale for £1 and I just thought "fuck it, why not." I love how this keeps my edges and baby hairs laid so they're not sticking up all over the place and it really does add something to the regular bun. I've just realised that the majority of my outfit is from h&m which is really strange as it'd usually all be from Zara...maybe I'm finally moving on.

Hope you enjoyed the post, this is perhaps the most excited I've been for a post in a very long time...

THE STRUGGLE TO GET THIS PICTURE WAS REAL

*MY FOOT LOOKS LONG M'BOIIIIIIIII*

anyway...

Hate to be that typical blogger but AUTUMN IS HERE and so are ankle boots yay.

I actually bought these boots in summer of 2015 because they were on sale (in Zara) for £20 which was amazing seeing as they're real leather and so durable. The chunky gold hardware is my favourite, it adds more dimension so it isn't just a plain black and smooth boot, ygm? Anyway, I have nothing else to say other than these boots are great and pair well with everything, they are essential.

Short but sweet post (I hope)
