Avocado & Green Tea Hair Mask

Have you ever watched TV and wondered how the actresses manages to get frizz free, shiny hair? Well iv made a hair mask that gave me the answer and it was made using only three ingredients which I already had the house.

Ingredients:
4 teaspoons of olive oil
Half and avocado
Half a cup of green to (using just one tea bag)

I used a blender to mix this because it was quicker but also it helped the oil mix in with the other ingredients but if you don't have a blender all you have to do iv mash and mix it together.

I added plant of this too my hair, I sectioned off parts of my hair to make sure I didn't miss any spots then massaged it in. I left it for 20-30 minutes (I didn't want to miss corrie) then washed it out, I shampooed twice and then added conditioner to only the ends of my hair.

I picked these three ingredients because they all have plenty of benefits some share the same benefits so I thought mixing them would double the chances of healthy hair.

Results: 
For me this mix made my hair easier to brush, easy to straighten, soft and refreshed, also my hair wasn't weighed down and I have no frizz.

Benefits of the ingredients:
Olive oil:
Makes hair softer
adds shine
is moisturising and stops frizz
helps keep hair from tanlging

Green tea:
Helps with hair growth
prevents hair loss
helps control dandruff
can soothe itchy scalp (it can also help soothe psoriasis)

Avocado:
Helps hair growth
moisturising
adds shine
prevents hair loss
can treat dry and itchy scalp
helps tackle frizz
helps control dandruff

There you go a super simple, easy to make mask which promotes healthy hair.

I hope you liked this post.

Thank you for reading.

Smoothie Sunday | Apricot Delight

Once again I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried apricot, the only time I have eaten apricot is in   yogurt but I wanted to try the actual fruit so I made a smoothie.

Ingredients:
1 passion fruit
juice of half an orange
1 mango
3 apricots
100ml of coconut and pineapple juice.

This smoothie is for people with a sweet tooth, I hope you enjoy

When I payed for the apricots I was stood at the till for about 15 minutes because they weren't on the computer system so it took four different workers to work out how to pay.

I bought the coconut and pineapple juice because it is really expensive to buy coconut water on its own so I figured that this would be a good alternative and bought it, but silly me didn't read what was in it until I got home. It is full of added flavours and also milk, which I am sensitive with, I told you guys before I have a lot of bad luck.

My Current Travel Bucket List

I love to travel and explore, travelling is something I have been doing all my life so I wanted to make a post of all the places I wish to travel in the future!

A lot of of the things in my list are based in the UK, because the UK is a beautiful place to explore and I think people forget about all the places to go other than the big cities. Castles have always fascinated me so I'm happy to explore any castles thrown at me.


  • Visit all the castles in the UK
  • Visit the Vatican
  • Visit Venice 
  • Travel  around the British coast line 
  • Go to the Harry Potter Studios
  • Go and see the Gaints Causeway
  • Go and see the northern lights
  • Track mountain gorillas 
  • Go to the Fiary chimneys of Cappadpcia 
  • Go to Hobbiton in New Zealand (and New Zealand in general)
  • Visit Red Square in Russia
  • Visit Japan 
I love exploring cities whether they are sprawling cityscapes or more quaint towns, I enjoy looking at the architecture in big cities just as much as I enjoy finding book shop tucked away in a rustic town.



Places I have visited in the past:
Kalkan

Falmouth

Falmouth


Ireland

Kalkan

I hope you liked this kind of post.

My New Phone Case

**Disclaimer this isn't sponsored I just really love my new phone case.

So I have a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, I'm a really clumsy person and if you believe in luck then you should know mine is pretty bad and when I'm at college if something breaks people usually luck at me first.

I decided its probably best to buy a phone case because I'm forever dropping my phone so while I was at college I picked a case only that I liked but didn't have my card details with me so I decided to wait until I got home... I forgot.

The next day I dropped it and the back shattered so I was looking to buy a case quick but couldn't decide which one to get and at the time I was watching generation kill on repeat so it only made sense to design a generation kill case.

Gocustomized was the only site that had had a Z3 compact case that was also at a reasonable price, I designed my case and ordered... then realised id ordered the wrong case, I got just s Z3 not a Z3 compact so I emailed the company they got back to me within less than a day and cancelled my order with out a problem, so I could reorder.

When my case came it was exactly how I ordered it, the picture was perfect not blurred or distorted, and the writing looked just as I had designed it, so I would recommend this site to anybody who wants a custom case!
