The Quest for Shiny Hair

The sun, sea and chlorine are all making my hair very dull and dry. My mission is to find the best products for healthy,silky,shiny hair.

I have tried a lot of products...

Ojon. I read about it, and it sounded like a little miracle for the hair. When i opened the jar, I thought it had gone off. It looked strange, but it actually melts into the hand, a bit like cocoa butter. What I didn't like was the smell. It took me back to the days when there was smoke in bars and restaurants, and my hoar would smell of stale tobacco. No, I don't think so. The smell is too off putting, even though the results were impressive

One product I particularly like is Kerastase Elixir Ultime by L'Oreal.
It smells lovely, and Yes my hair is definitely shinier. Fabulous! But at  a price,£33.50 to be exact.  Tell me I am worth it.

One thing that does work, and costs nothing is rinsing in cold water. It seals the hair cuticle. Honestly.

Many people use an acidic product, like apple cider vinegar or lemon juice in the final rinse. Someone also recommended coconut milk to me. I have yet to try that.

6.Noooo snacking. Three meals per day.

7. Don;'t Crash Diet. Change your whole eating behaviour and eat healthily forever.

8. Forget scales. Your clothes will tell you if you are losing or gaining weight.

9. Treats are allowed. 

10. Go easy on the alcohol. Dry white wine or champagne, OK just the one glass.

How to be Fabulous in Summer- White is the new black.

Here is my guide to all things fabulous and stylish. Maybe it will help you to become a little bit more fabulous and a little bit more stylish. Obviously you already fabulous and stylish. I know!

So, lets start with the season we are now in, summer. How to be cool and elegant in the heat? Simple.

With the very on trend all white look. White on white. It works for me, especially with a tan.

Sunday was very hot and sticky here. I was wearing my little white dress, with a straw hat, white Chanel shades, and my fabulous new white and tan bag. I looked cool and felt even cooler.

Yes, white is the new black. Go out and buy a LWD if you don't already have one in your wardrobe.

So, after white on white, try white with tan, or white with black. Yes, that works.

I also did the white on white thing for my yoga class. Very Zen. Very pure.
Rocking the "My body is a temple" vibe...
