Blogs Of A Shopaholic

Hey everyone, Happy New Year!!  I really hope everyone had a fantastic festive holiday and feels fully re-charged and ready to face the new year ahead.  I am currently sitting in my pj's writing this, having spent last night with friends so today is all about tea, biscuits and films (Charlie & The Chocolate Factory to be precise). I really want to start 2018 as I mean to go on so I am putting out my first blog post of the year on the first day of a brand new month and year in the hope it will mean I will be much better organised!  I thought the best post to kick off the new year would be an "empties" post so below are all the things I have used up in the month of December.  I love that feeling of finishing products and especially at the end of the year when inevitably thoughts turn to de-cluttering and tidying up.

Hey everyone, I wanted to do a very quick post on the Lee Stafford Scalp Scrub I picked up a few months ago.  I never even knew "scalp scrubs" were a thing so when I saw this on the 3 for £15 offer on the Hair Growth Range I had to give it a go. As you all know I've been using the Lee Stafford Hair Growth Range for about six months or so and I absolutely love it.  My hair has changed so much in that time and growing it has definitely been painless and easy.  This scalp scrub is described as: "A nourishing pre-wash scalp treatment with PRO-GROWTH™ complex and gentle pink exfoliating beads to stimulate the scalp and encourage hair to grow." I apply a small amount to wet hair before my shampoo and massage it around my hairline, paying particular attention to my forehead area as this is where I use hairspray.  The exfoliating beads feel very fine and it's a strange sensation to get used to as it feels like the product isn't going anywhere ...

Back around the middle of October I posted a First Impressions blog on the Lee Stafford Hair Growth Range.  If you wanted to take a quick look at it before reading this I'll put the link here . I've been using these products every day now for a full month and just wanted to give you a quick update into my thoughts and whether my opinion had changed on them at all.  The first thing I want to say is how quickly I noticed the condition of my hair changing.  I had the ends of my hair bleached in May and they were starting to look very dry and damaged.  I'd actually bought a hair dye to colour my hair back to one colour in the hope it would help but since using this range my hair has been looking and feeling so much healthier.  I am still using the Intensive Hair Conditioning Treatment every day, in between shampoo and the regular conditioner, but I think this is more to do with the fact I am slightly addicted to this stuff and don't want to stop using i...

Hey everyone, I've had a constant battle with my hair since as long as I can remember.  I never had long hair when I was little and when I try to grow my hair now, it gets to a certain length just above my shoulders and I end up going back to my faithful pixie cut! This time though it's different (she says!!).  I've given myself exactly a year before I do anything drastic and I want to see how long I can finally get this hair.  I'm going to be having regular two-monthly trims with my hairdresser to keep it in good shape so hopefully I won't find the growing process too difficult.  It's currently growing out of a short graduated bob so the "style" (I use that word very loosely) is looking a little questionable.  I also had the ends dyed "ombre" in May and they are starting to look pretty dry - add this to the fact my hair starts to feel pretty thin the longer it gets... it's not looking good on the hair front at the moment! I saw...
