London Girly Monthly Rundown

I have been buying…not much, just mainly gym wear. I bought these and these. At the beginning of the month I purchased this dressy top as I am seriously lacking those (it's similar to this just long sleeved). Click here if you would like to see what hair products I bought this month

I have been eating at…Nandos! I took a trip this month and claimed my free whole chicken lol. I also had halloumi cheese, spicy rice and pitta.

I also went for an afternoon tea in Park Lane. It was delicious!

I have visited…the cinema (again!) to watch Wolf of Wall Street- it was 3 hours long (too long!), but entertaining. I also saw Dallas Buyers Club- again just over 2 hours but AMAZING acting!

Next month I’m looking forward to…a few celebrations! It is my brother's and mother's birthday and of course mother's day. Family time is always nice

Next month I hope to splash some cash on…a few lipsticks. I am looking for at least one Winter shade and one Spring shade. I may try the Revlon matte lip balms.

Natural Hair Style Files #5

I was inspired by many others to do a protective style, so I tried to a flat twist updo. This is only the second time I have flat twisted. I definitely need a rat tail comb for my defined parts!

Style: Flat twist updo

Used: A wide tooth comb for parting and hairbands for seperating, also Shea Moisture curl enhancing smoothie

Lasted: 3 days before I got bored and took it out lol

Mini Natural Hair Product Haul

I purchased the above products online as I did not have a moisturiser so decided to settle for the all-natural Shea Butter and I was running low on Aubrey Organics and I CANNOT be without this deep conditioner! I have been wanting to purchase the Curl Enhancing Smoothie for aaaaages and I am so glad I got my hands on it. The Shea Butter was from Amazon and the remaining products from Beauty By Zara. Here are some other peoples to purchase natural hair products.

London Girly Monthly Rundown

I have been buying…two pairs of shoes, these boots and these shoes from New Look. I have been looking for a pair of boots for everyday wear and a pair of shoes for work. I love both of them! Also I bought two pairs of glasses (thanks Specsavers) for 1- again one for weekends and one for work

I have been eating at…not many places. I have been eating at home mainly- in order to shift the excess Christmas pounds I have been eating really clean (no processed foods). 

I have visited…the cinema to watch 12 Years A Slave, Lupita definitely deserves an Oscar!

Track of the month...Ty Dolla Sign ft BOB- Paranoid. Such a catchy song- the video is weird as hell though!

Next month I’m looking forward to…a week off work :) and hopefully a new TV!

Next month I hope to splash some cash on…a TV and some furniture I'm going with a shabby chic look for my bedroom, so I'm looking at furniture like this

Coconut Oil is the truth!

Finally I managed to purchase some coconut oil!

The only oil I could get my hands on in the shops were "coconut oil"- not virgin nor organic just cheap. In order for this to be beneficial for hair I think it is important to purchase organic, virgin coconut oil. I managed to buy this from Whole Foods for just under £9. Whole Foods also sell Jason shampoo and conditioners, Giovanni products and other oils (grapseed, hemp seed, flaxseed, olive etc). So I may be back there soon- I really would like to use all natural products on my hair. I plan to use coconut oil to moisturise my hair (I know it is used to seal but I prefer to moisturise or seal with 1 product) every other day. Here are some posts from BGLH on the uses and benefits of coconut oil, here and here. This is part of my overall plan to improve my hair health and I will be posting an update or a post about my regimen soon!

Review- Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Smooth Pudding

Description: Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Smooth-n-Hold Pudding moisturizes, shines, and holds hair. Lightweight and ideal for smoothing hair and holding down ponytails. Alcohol-free formula won't dry out hair or cause flaking.

Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Paraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil), Polyquaternium-11, Glycerin, Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Polysorbate-60, PEG-150 Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Ceteareth-20, PEG-20 Hydrogenated Lanolin, PEG-40 Stearate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Phenyl Trimethicone, PEG-12 Dimethicone, Oleth-20, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, DMDM Hydantoin, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Parfum (Fragrance), Benzyl Benzoate, Citronellol, d-Limonene, Eugenol, Geraniol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Lilial, Linalool, Methyl Ionone, CI 42090 (Blue 1), CI 19140 (Yellow 5).

Thoughts: I purchased this product- wanting a styler. Unfortunately I did not see the word 'gel' when I bought it. The product does provide a light hold for my braidouts but it is not moisturizing. Overall, there are better stylers out there especially for type 4 hair it is better to use a butter in my opinion to prevent hair being dry. Overall I give this a 3/5, I am glad I tried this but would not repurchase.
