DIY: Make Your Own Natural Shampoo and Conditioner (from Young & Raw)
Just like we need to detox our bodies from toxins, it is also really important that we give our hair a detox. You might not realize just how harmful your regular shampoo and conditioner are on your hair. Take a look at the label and see whether you can pronounce any of the ingredients – do you really want to put those kind of chemicals on your hair and skin?
Not only do these ingredients strip your hair of its natural oils, but the chemicals contained inside most shampoos are really harmful to your health.
Most regular shampoos contain ingredients including soidum lauryl sulfate, and polymers that are actually like a plastic coating that covers your hair. This might make your hair shiny, but these toxins go down through your hair shaft and into your blood stream, which can cause all sorts of health problems short term and long term.
If you can detox your hair and rid it of these chemicals which have built up over time, you will find that you hair is actually shinier and easier to manage. You won’t have excess oil production which happens when your hair over-compensates to make up for when the chemical ingredients strip it of the natural oils. You won’t need to wash your hair every day, and it will be healthier for your body.
Going through a hair detox might be hard for the first week or so as you transition from using your regular shampoo to a natural one. It might be greasier than normal as your hair starts to detox from all the chemicals that usually bind to it when washing. However, after a week or so the the natural oils your hair produces will balance out. If you can tolerate this it will be well worth it.
You might be wondering what you can wash your hair with instead. You will be pleased to know that natural shampoos are actually cheap and easy to make, so not only will you have healthier hair, but you will save money too!

Graze nibble box
My weekly Graze box arrived today :-)
This is a good one!
I received basil & garlic olives, very fresh and tasty.
Tandoori spiced beef jerky with pomegranate chutney, loved this! Quite spicey but it combines nicely with the sweet chutney.
Strawberries & cream granola topper, this one was my least favorite. The crunchy strawberry bits with the yoghurt is really nice, but with the granola i find it a bit dry.
and lemon curd flapjacks, one word delicious!
Thanks Graze!
Hope you are all enjoying yours xxx

Loreal La Palette Nude Rose Review
This is a really nice eye shadow palette. I brought is at Boots for 14.99 pounds and you get quite a lot of shades for that price.
I really like that it is 'natural' shades, and can be used for every day looks that's not too heavy. You can also smoke a plain eye up with the darker shade. So it is quite universal, which is key to value for your money :-).
The eye shadows itself is really easy to apply to your eye, and you don't need to use too much of it, so hopefully this means it will last long as well!

Very Tasty Vanilla Condensed Milk Cupcakes!
Hi everyone!
So today I decided to share this amazing recipe with you all :-)
This is really something for that sweet tooth (I have a whole mouth full of them...).
The cupcake it self is not that sweet, it is really tasty and moist. The icing on the other hand is quite sweet, so I guess you could use any other type you would like if you prefer something with less sugar.
I got this recipe off of the label on the Carnation squeeze condensed milk bottle from Asda (or any other grocery store), or you can check on their website www.carnation.co.uk
So here's what you need:
Cupcakes:
125g Plain Flour
250g Carnation condensed milk
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
85g buttery spread (I just use softened butter)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
Frosting:
200g Icing Sugar
55g buttery spread
few drops vanilla extract
1-2 tbsp carnation condensed milk
4 boxes Nestle mini smarties (optional for decorations)
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. (160 degrees C for fan ovens, Gas Mark 4).
2. Beat flour, condensed milk, egg, vanilla, baking powder and buttery spread until pale and fluffy.
3. Spoon mixture into 12 muffin cases.
Bake for 15-18 min. until springy and golden.
Allow to cool
4. Beat icing sugar, buttery spread and vanilla with enough condensed milk to make a smooth creamy icing.
Spread spread unto cakes and top with smarties (or your choice of decoration).
Enjoy!!! :-)
