Tis the season for Xmas hampers.

A good friend of mine has an all natural hand made soap and lotions business, Potioned Products, and she brought in a made-to-order hamper box with a selection of bath bombs, soaps, cream and natural dog soap. 

Pretty amazing. I have her mud bars which are the best and will be trying her Peppermint and Epsom Salts bombs soon.

When times get tough.

It's one of those times in life when you are juggling so many balls, and then someone adds another..

Trying to manage building new house, organizing for maintenance old house, work is stressfull and tiresome with stupid politics, trying to be more healthy (both of us), saving cash, thinking of a business for future, thinking of a baby next year, still have not been on holiday / honeymoon yet...

Sometimes it can be too much. 

What are your 2016 plans?

Mine is that the house will be complete, work would have calmed down, I will more healthy and workout more. 🍉

Where has time gone....

You know the feeling when time goes so quick. One minute you are thinking "yeah it will be ok to do that next week", and then 2 months has gone by! Really can't believe it is coming to the end of the year, and I hardly posted anything. (Prob because I been on Instagram so much..!)

Health benefits of massage therapy, how interesting.

Massage isn't just for pampering either, it can be for elevating chronic pain, promoting better sleep, it may relieve mild depression, a great way to boost your immunity, and self massage eases financial concerns.

Product Review - Bumble and Bumble

I have been trying these two products from Bumble and Bumble, the Hairdresser's Invisible Oil and the Prêt-à-Powder. I must say they are my new favorite hair products! 

A bit of a description of both:

Hairdresser's Invisible Oil

This transformative blend of nourishing oils vanishes into hair, leaving a smooth feathersoft feel and a trace of shine. For everyday use, to soften, smoothe and reduce frizz, tame flyaways, detangle and strengthen hair against breakage.

Salon tip: Work sparingly into damp hair before air drying or blow-drying, or smooth through dry hair for a sensational finish. Try it with Thickening Hairspray for a soft, tangle-free blow out, or as a finisher after styling to control flyaways and add polish.

I have been searching far and wide for a great leave in conditioner. This is better! It's just as good as the Argan Oil or Moroccan Oil leave in oils. It leaves your hair so silky soft smooth you feel like touching it all the time. Gives a great beach wave tousled look. It's pretty Fabulux.  

Prêt-à-Powder

Equal parts dry shampoo, style extender and volume in a pinch of invisible hair powder. Direct from the New York House of Bumble, this hair powder is the modern girl's secret to style oily hair, fine hair or hair that's missed a shampoo. Use on dry hair; to extend the life of a blow dry, one small pinch, gently massaged at roots will instantly add lift and volume to make every day a great hair day.

Perfect for all hair types and textures.

This is WOW, so amazingly better than those hair spray shampoos. You can't see any white residue in your hair and its perfect va-va-boom volume. This will be in my permanent collection. 

The only downside on these both are the prices, but on the other hand a small amount goes so far. Especially the oil. 

5 out of 5 for me. 

Has anyone else tried these yet?

A lot has happened.....

It's been a while since I last posted, and lot has happened. I got married in December, and started to build a new house too. Wanted to have a back up work plan so started learning Massage Therapy, and am slowly continuing with that.
Work is crazy busy at the moment, and just feels like a means of making money. Which is why a backup or alternative plan is needed. Especially when you start a family.

I have also started a new workout routine, something that I saw from a fitness series. www.toneitup.com
It's working out pretty good, haven't put full motivation into it yet but at least im working out in the morning before work.

Has anyone completed any New Years resolutions yet?

Tone It Up Fitness

I have been getting into this new fitness cult craze going around, Tone It Up. I have started doing the workouts in the morning, and download their programs and schedules. They have great recipe ideas and their videos on their site is real easy to follow. 

You can also post your progress on Instagram, with fellow TIU members which I love, and can go in the running for prizes. There is an app too for all their current info, posts, workouts, and community posts. 

You should check it out, and the girls are really fun too in the way they do the workout routines. 

Shoe Addict

Have you ever spied a pair of heels and thought WOW they are amazing, I have had a shoe obsession with the below ones that I searched for. They can be found at Zomp. 

They are just amazing and different. You don't find shoes with a clear heel that manage to be chic at the same time.
