Botox!

I'm very conscious of my eye area, and the fine lines that surround it, so today I took the plunge and got...botox! I know some people have very strong opinions and will tell me why I shouldn't get it done, however it's my choice, my face and my money that I'm spending. 


I had three needle pricks either side of my face. I'm not too concerned about the lines between the eyes that occur when you frown, so I decided not to have any injections there. 


It did hurt, quite a lot in fact, but as soon as the injection has finished, the pain is gone. 


I'm told that I should see results in about a week, so I will definitely update on the progress! 


Ps for those who would like to know the finer details - I'm 24 years old and it cost $240 in total.

Part 2 - Lush

So our sister Rhiannon, has found that Lush products work very well for her lifestyle and ethical considerations when purchasing products. These are her thoughts on Lush hair products.

I Love Juicy:
Palm Oil seems to weasel its way into heaps of everyday products, especially hair products. For me it’s important to choose the products that I can free of palm oil. All of the Lush products are palm oil free so I am instantly drawn to them. I Love Juicy is a delicious smelling shampoo which really made my head feel all clean and fresh. It’s a fruity shampoo with mango, pineapple, kiwi and papaya oils in it to make your hair smell so yummy!


Trichomania:
This shampoo is a little different; instead of being in a bottle it’s in a block. How this delicious baby works is just like soap, while you’re in the shower, wet your hair as normal and then with this block of shampoo in your hands, lather your hands up in this and then just work it into your hair like normal shampoo. I was a bit sceptical using this because it reminded me of just using soap in my hair, but it smells so incredible and it does feel like a normal shampoo anyway. I’m obsessed with products that smell like coconuts, and this shampoo reminds me of being on a beach with pina colidas , coconuts and lots of sun. Perfect.

Coolaulin:

This conditioner, I LOVE! It probably has something to do with the coconut smell to it, but I am a big fan of this conditioner. People may be put off by this conditioner because unlike your everyday conditioners you may buy from Coles, Woolworths or another supermarket, when you work it into your hair, your hair is not going to start to have that instant softness and smoothness you feel with regular conditioners. This is because this conditioner doesn’t contain the silicones that other conditioners contain like Pantene. So although you are not getting the immediate satisfaction in this conditioner, once your hair dries, it has a natural softness to it and you’re not damaging your hair. A big thumbs up to Coolanlin.

Veganese:
This conditioner I did not like. It didn’t make my hair feel amazing and it didn’t feel like it was going to do anything for my hair.
