Wahanda has Christmas covered

This Christmas I am hoping to get all my lovely girly friends together and spend a wonderful day together doing something totally relaxing and zen, I certainly know that working full time, running my business AND being a wife and friend is bloody hard work and my friends are no different.

Wahanda has launched a personalised gift finder on their website which might be just up my street! In the one place I can find the best spas and then pick and choose my treatments and gifts to suit my friends…. I could buy a massage for my stressed office worker friend, a heavenly pedicure for my chef friend on their feet all day, an afternoon of hydrotherapy for my water baby friend or the Spa brand gift pack for the friend overseas… the choices are endless!!

‘Tis the season to be pampered

Wahanda Launches Personalised Gift Finder

Personally, I used the gift finder to look for new spa’s in our area and I have picked out the Serenity Spa Day at the wonderful Armathwaite Hall. I would take my best friend for this day as she is amazing and really deserves some TLC (who doesn’t eh!). I’ve heard so many good things about this place I know we’d have a wonderful time. That’s another thing I like about Wahanda, the sites detailed and I can find reviews on each venue.

The tool was super easy to use and gave me options I probably wouldn’t have thought of if I had gone about it myself! Go try it now.

Will you be buying anyone a lovely spa treat for Christmas?

Hair Hero – Clynol Repair Instant Keratin Filler

I am in love with this little bottle of magic.

Not only does the Clynol Repair Instant Keratin Filler smell AMAZING but it leaves my hair feeling fortified, stronger and less prone to breakage on the ends.

From wet, I spray liberally over the mid to ends of my hair and massage it in to the very tips before blow drying. I then give my hair cheeky spritzes whenever I put my hair in a bun or messy top knot. It feels like it gives me hair a bit of added oomph on the ends and when the ends are being held with a band, they could do with all the help they can get to stop being snagged.

I have noticed a definite improvement on the ends of my hair, making it easier to run my fingers through after rough drying and even straightening as I suffer with naturally dry coarse curly hair.. Which gets regularly abused with peroxide and often heat.My hair feels thicker all the way to the tips (which are raggedy and need a cut!) without feeling snaggly and ratty. Fab product for my hair, smells divine and is reasonably priced, it’s got to be worth a try hasn’t it!

You can buy the Clynol Repair Instant Keratin Filler from www.feelunique.com for £7.90 with free delivery

Have you tried Clynol. or a Keratin Filler before?

MAC Viva Glam Nicki & Viva Glam Ricky

After the announcement was made about the newest faces of the MAC Viva Glam collection, I, like many others were excited to see pictures and the colours!

David La Chapelle has done the photography honours and brought his usual iconic style to the press images.

Both colours will be pink, I am betting that Viva Glam Nicki is a bright pink (like Pink Friday) and Ricky’s will be a more wearable, nudey pink… Or that’s what I am hoping for anyway.

Not only are the MAC Viva Glam usually paired with celeb icons, they are also for a bloody good cause. The MAC Aids Fund started in 1994 and the proceeds of the lipsticks go to such a good cause.

Are you excited for the release in February 2012? Will you be snapping them both up?
