Dry Shampoo Best Picks!

Festival season is well and truly upon us, and for those of you braving the mud pools and mosh pits here's my top three dry shampoos to get your hair through the weekend....

1. Tony&Guy Texture Dry Shampoo

Last but not least Tony&Guy's Matte Texture Dry Shampoo. This product can be used not only as a quick fix in the morning, but also as a beauty product even when you hair is already grease free. Due to the matte texture element of the product this can be used as a daily treatment when you hair is looking flat and dull. Simply spray on to give you hair that bouncy texture, perfect for a festival chic look!

2. Batiste Dry Shampoo with a hint of colour for light and blonde hair

This Dry shampoo is great for Blondes! This specific product is specifically for blonde hair, and has a hint of colour to reduce the white powdery substance often left after use. I highly recommend this product! For more information visit my previous post Batiste Dry Shampoo Review. I also recommend the Batiste Coconut and Exotic Tropical Dry Shampoo for a quick fix with a great smell. 

3. Percy and Reed's No-fuss Fabulous Dry Shampoo

This product is perfect for all hair-types! As a liquid based dry shampoo- rather than powder based- this treatment leaves hair feeling refreshed instantly without visible white remnants being left on you hair. Also perfect for adding texture to your hair, spray into your roots and run through with your hands to create a wild and free look perfect for that festival vibe. 

For those of you off to festivals I hope this post has helped you choose your go-to hair product!

Summer Fitspiration

Yes ladies it's that time again... the beach body scare. If you started your Summer-body gym routine in January then you have absolutely nothing to worry about, but if you, alike myself, lost track of the dates and have now realised your holiday is only a few weeks away, don't fear! Here's a few tips to help yourself feel more comfortable slipping into that bikini... 

1. The Motivation

If you've got the motivation to get into your gym gear and start some exercise, you are already half way there. I can't count the amount of times i've cancelled a gym session due to sheer laziness. I find that sometimes just by buying myself a new item of fitness wear I am more keen to get myself to the gym, this has been as little as a new sports bra from Gap fit.

2. Goals

We need to be realistic with our goals, but this doesn't mean you can make excuses for not having enough time! Up your workout sessions by one or two extra a week, and if this isn't possible you could still do a 30 min workout in your living room. There are plenty of ab, leg and chest workout tips and tricks on Pinterest that you can do in the comfort of your own home. 

3. Fitness partner

This is also a form of motivation. I go to the gym with either one of my girl pals or my boyfriend, although I have been made aware many people wouldn't set foot in a gym along with their other half. I find that having two people I can train with helps enormously. This is because you are not merely letting yourself down if you don't go, but also the other person. When training with a friend you can do routine exercises that involve two people and if you miss one of these sessions then that other person has been left to train on their own. 

4. Fad Diets

I personally am very against numerous fad diets such as teatoxing, juicing and all these so called 'cleansing' courses. These are not a healthy way to loose weight and can cause serious harm to your body. Juicing is a great way to get multiple vitamins in one go, but should be done in addition to a healthy diet, not on it's own. instead of teatoxing try drinking more water, attempt to drink around two litres a day, this will make sure you keep hydrated and that you aren't feeling hungry due to dehydration. If you want to try any fad diets I recommend doing A LOT of research beforehand. 

5. Enjoy it!

Try and find a form of exercise you enjoy. Research shows that if you enjoy your exercise you are far more likely to benefit from it as you put more effort into the routine. Whilst at the gym I enjoy doing circuits but when these start to feel repetitive or boring I like to go to Body-Combat classes, Yoga or go for a run. I believe variety is key for an enjoyable fitness routine.
