Bank Holiday Beach Waves

As we all know many people over react to a little Glasgow sunshine, taps aff, legs oot and all that jazz. I have a confession...I may be one of those people. The sun makes everything better in my opinion. So this bank holiday I will be pretending I am on holiday sunbathing and dipping in the pool (Ok I don't have a pool, but I said I was pretending!).

In true holiday fashion I will also be ditching the hair dryer for my Mark Hill Holiday Hair Beach Babe Sea Salt Wave Spray. I always use this stuff on holiday because it is so easy to use and gives great results. 

Wash your hair as normal, I spray some heat protector first, and then spray the Sea Salt Spray all over. I'd recommend drying the front of your hair as normal, otherwise you will look like someone from a Dr Seuss book! Head out to the sun and job done. Simple. As a bonus tip, if you are feeling a little lazy one night spray some on instead of blow drying your hair, leaves a wave the next morning.

The spray itself is not crispy on your hair, has a summery scent and seems to last for ages. As my hair has a slight ombre look right now, this really brings out the colour. At £5.99 from Boots this is extremely reasonably priced compared to other salt sprays on the market, and in my opinion it is one of the best.


Whether you are in 40 degree heat or just in the back garden making the most of the lovely bank holiday, treat yourself to some beach wave hair!

Get The Basics

The last few blogs have been lifestyle based or general ramblings from myself, so I will try to make this one a little more useful!

Usually on a daily basis I don't wear a lot of make up as I like my skin to breathe throughout the day. Saying this, one of the products I have been reaching for almost every day is the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum. This is a really light foundation, that you can barely feel on your skin but at the same time give you perfect coverage all over. It is a great base for all day wear, as it last all day and it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. This is also reasonably priced at around £10 and you can find them everywhere, including Boots and Superdrug. Bourjois Healthy Mix has definitely made a believer out of me.

My second (hopefully useful) recommendation is the Real Technique Expert Face Brush from the Make Up Artist Sam Chapman. Now, I have never used a brush to apply foundation before as I always find them extremely wasteful, difficult to use and leave the foundation a little streaky. I know many make up artists reading this will be shaking their heads, but I have been a slap it on with your hands kind of gal for many a year! Not anymore, I am loving the Expert Face Brush. It is so simple, and as it rounded instead of flat so you apply in circular, buffing motions. This helps reduce any wasted product and gives an even coverage all over. Amazing right? It gets better, this brush is only £8.99. I can not recommend this brush enough and think every girl should have one in her make up

bag.

So hopefully this blog has achieved its usefulness and shared my Bourjois, Real Techniques love of late!

A Wee Scottish Blog

So this Blog is just going to be a mixture of all things Scottish that I have been enjoying/up to this weekend.

Firstly lets start with some serious exercising. There is a Glasgow PT called Ross Stewart who also runs classes, a blog and is generally on hand for all things well being wise. He recently started a new ladies only weight lifting programme on a Saturday moring (8am, yikes!) at Future Fitness in Shawlands. I have been converted over the last year or so that weights are the way to change your body, Ross has written plenty of posts on this so I will link his blog at the end for you all to gander through.

Easily the worst bit about weights is having to go into the normally male dominated weights room. Besides the grunting and staring, rarely things are free! To combat this Ross has organised for us lady folk to have the run of the Future Fitness gym before it opens, obviously all under the watchful eye of himself. I really enjoyed Saturdays class and was definitely feeling the burn in all the right places come Sunday. If you are in the Glasgow area I would recomend having a look at Ross Stewart PT's facebok/twitter to get all details for the coming weeks classes. Lets get lean ladies.

Carrying on with all things Scottish I caught up on a very interesting programme on BBC2 all about Entrepreneurs in Scotland, called The Entrepreneurs. Having dabbled with the idea of starting my own business in the past (it didn't quite work out), it was great to see all the different businesses and the support they were offered. Not to mention the fact that they were all Scotland based, who knew we were such a talented bunch. It is only a 2 episode series so if you interested in documentaries then I would recommend giving this a watch. You may even recognise a few faces!

Lastly, last night I was at my Brother-in-law's surprise 30th birthday party. This was held in  Apartment 29 at 29- The Grill At the Square, which is in Glasgow's Royal Exchange Sqaure.

 This is a beautiful venue, and it was a really lovely evening. Everyone was all dressed up and there were plently of embarrassing photos doing the rounds! We had a golf inspired cake made by a companly called tiers, the cake was so delicious and turned our perfectly.

So I may have gone a little braveheart on you all there but Scotland has been the place to be this weekend!
