I have always been a lover of the So Juicy Shampoo by Lush, but I'm sure if you've followed my blog for a while now that you'd already know that. It's great for oily hair and maintains that 'just washed' feeling for quite a few days, however, I began to notice it stripping the colour from my hair. It was turning my balayage to more of a caramel colour rather than the ashy blonde that I'm trying so hard to get. So the only solution was to finally change my hair care routine!
I have three products that I would like to share with you- all of which are by Herbal Essences. The range I decided to go for is the 'Hello Hydration' which is supposedly deeply nourishing. I picked up the Intensive Mask, Shampoo and Conditioner.
So far I am absolutely loving all three! I use the mask once a week and just leave it on for a couple of minutes before washing. I use a small amount of shampoo when washing (which is normally every few days) and an even smaller amount of conditioner on the mid to end sections of my hair.
The small is amazing- it is coconut, and is so fresh. It leaves my hair soft and silky, doesn't strip my hair of it's colour and better still, it doesn't get greasy too quickly. Basically, it is all I've ever wanted in a product!
Let me know if you have ever tried them and if you think you have an even better recommendation! Also, if you would like to know what other things I've been loving then subscribe to my YouTube- I'll be posting my monthly favourites on Sunday. Just click here.

Recently I visited Paris and I'll be honest, I can't stop thinking about these guys! I'm a strong believer of keeping a balanced diet and I couldn't not get myself some when I was in Paris now, could I?!
The shop itself is absolutely adorable and I love the pastel colour theme. There was so many pastries and cakes in all different shapes and sizes. Of course, the macarons are the main event so there was a large variety of flavours to choose from. In the end I managed to narrow it down to eight and in case you are wondering, the nutella (brown colour) and the salted caramel one (golden colour) were my favourites!
If you are ever visiting Paris then I'd recommend that you get yourself some of these and tuck right in!

I recently order the Bootea 14 day Teatox, and since I've not long finished it, I decided to share my thoughts with you.
First, I'll talk about the packaging. It comes neatly in a small box, and inside there are two wallets, filled with day time and night time tea. The main colours are pink and green, and I thought they looked quite nice. The little wallets (if that is even what they are called) had little locks on the top so they could be closed, keeping the tea fresh. I like this idea as it meant no messing around with little plastic wrapping that you just have to throw away once it's open.
So now let's talk about the tea. There are 14 day time teas and 7 night time ones, this is because you are advised to have a night time one every couple of days, because they are prone to cause laxative affects. I had mine every two days and thought this was enough.
The day time tea didn't particularly taste of anything, which was good. I just had it with my breakfast and didn't find that it was a problem.. I thought I'd forget one day but thankfully, I never.
The night time tea, referred to as bedtime, was a lot stronger in taste. It seemed a bit like Mint but I'm not entirely sure. It wasn't a horrible taste so I could deal with it.
Overall, I feel like it did reduce my bloating, particularly around my stomach. However, I wouldn't repurchase, just because I think you can buy lemon tea and mint tea for much cheaper and it will do the same job. I enjoyed trying it out and I'm glad it's gotten me into a routine of having green tea everyday!

P.S I asked you guys on Twitter (@emmaawilson) if you wanted me to review this on my blog or on a video and you said blog. I would absolutely love it if you could check out my YouTube channel for future videos, and if you have any suggestions then I would be more than willing to do them. My most recent video is shown below. Thank you!
How cute is this necklace? I was lucky enough to receive this from Teardrop, and I absolutely love it! They have a lovely range of jewellery, all of which are perfect gives with heart felt notes written on the bottom.
I decided to go for 'bee happy' as I thought this was really sweet and a good little thing to remember when wearing it. It came packaged up so nicely- as you can see, with the gold wrapping paper. You can also write a personal note yourself on the card that it comes on! I just feel like the whole idea of it is a lot more personal than just buying a plain necklace as you can pick something that is special to you, leave a heartfelt message and write your own!
I know I'll be wearing my little bee necklace all the time as it's so light and cute. If you'd like to check out their other designs, then head on over to their site or their twitter is @TearDropDesigns
If you do get anything then let me know.

Last month I was lucky enough to attend an event held by oka-b! The shoes themselves are originally worn at spas but are now a lot more of a holiday essential. They can be washed in the machine which I thought was simply amazing! No more sandy shoes forever.
The real reason I wanted to try out the brand was because I have such terrible problems with my feet, shoes always seem really hard to walk on and leave me with dry, rough skin. Oka-b however, have the most comfortable shoes available ever. I've tried out a pair myself, which are photographed above, they are so cute and my feel are definitely happy in them. I'll be taking them on my america trip this year.
Not only did I get to try out the amazing shoes (which you can customize btw.. :D), but I also had the pleasure of receiving a reflexology session, something I have never experienced before. It was so relaxing and enjoyable. I nearly fell asleep but that's not unusual for me.
Glow Hush had a range of candles and wax melts available too, I went for the sweet opoppanax because sweet scents are my absolute favourite. It was difficult to decide which one to go for because they all smelt so nice. So if you're a candle lover, I would definitely check them out.
I enjoyed the event so much so I'm glad I can finally share it with you!
Let me know if you try the shoes or candles yourself.
