March Favourites

Here are a few of the things I was loving last month:

TV

Thirteen. Oh my! I wont reveal any spoilers but I loved how it wasn't what you expected.

FOOD

Aunty's Steamed Puddings - Pecan and Butterscotch. I have always been a fan of these sponge puddings but this was the first time I tried the Pecan and Butterscotch one. YUM.

DRINK

Peppermint tea. Last time I tried peppermint tea I wasn't really a fan. The other day I gave it go again and loved it. I am now the proud owner of a box of 80 peppermint teabags.

READING

I have really enjoyed reading Lily Pebbles' blog this month.

Ultimate Blends Shampoo

About a year back now I was sent a free sample from Garnier for their new Ultimate Blends Shampoo. I was really impressed with the way my hair felt the following day and I thought it was definitely worth me purchasing a full-sized bottle. I went for the Silky Smoother Shampoo which is blended with Madagascan Vanilla milk and Brazilian Papaya extracts and is suited towards mid-long hair with split ends. It claims to give the result of: "satin silkiness and touchably smooth ends". I couldn't disagree! My hair has never felt smoother.

When this bottle was almost empty it was time to re-purchase. This time I wanted to try one of their other shampoos in the range. I decided upon the Strength Restorer which is aimed at fragile hair prone to breakage. My hair isn't really fragile but I tend to always be 'molting' so I thought I would see whether this would help. I do actually think that it has helped and again it leaves my hair super duper soft.

I have also tried the Strength Restorer Serum and I love it. I definitely notice a difference in my hair when I use it. You only need to apply two drops to wet hair focusing on the ends which means the product lasts a long time so is great value for money.

There are a number of other 'flavours' in the range and I am excited to try these too!

Prices (Boots):

The Strengh Restorer (400ml): £3.89

The Silky Smoother (400ml): £3.89

Serum (50ml): £4.99
