Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment Review

Hey guys!!

Today I am going to be reviewing a product by Lee Stafford. This is the treatment for hair that never grows past a certain length!! When buying this, I looked online for hair growth tips and found that most people with long, shiny hair used this product (or something similar). 

I went and purchased a pot from boots. The tub isn't very large at all and at £7.99 isn't cheap! However, I believe that Lee Stafford is a higher quality brand than the adverse Herbal Essences or Loreal hair care lines so this price was expected. Admittedly, yes, this is pricey, but for longer, thicker hair its all worth it!

To have maximum results from this product it is required that it is left in for 5 minutes, so ensure you have plenty of time for this treatment otherwise it's just a a waste. It also suggest to use the Lee Stafford growth shampoo and conditioner- which you can if you like but I prefer to use a Loreal shampoo and conditioner as I find that this suits my hair better.

'If the Earth is not nourished you'll never grow beautiful flowers'

I was very intrigued to find out how it works. Hair goes through a natural cycle. Each strand is unanchored from it's root every 1-3 years. If you're lucky and your hair has a long cycle (3 years) the hair will grow longer than average. But if you feel your hair gets to that point (usually a couple of inches past the shoulder) where it stops growing then your hair has a shorter life cycle (I definitely have this problem). This treatment prolongs the anchored phase to promote hair growth. To help this, the mask conditions the scalp, soothes dry/split ends and strengthens hair at a cellular level.

I have been using this product each time I have washed my hair (every other day) and I am super impressed with the outcome. My hair has a healthy shine to it and my ends have smoothed. I can confirm that I have not been blessed with hair like Rapunzel since using this product but I can say it has set the foundations for healthy growth in the future which is what I wanted. It suggests that once this product has improved the condition of the hair (after less that one tub my hair has improved) begin to use as a weekly treatment. However, I am still going to use this for each wash until I am 100% confident my hair could not get in an any better condition.

The down side to this product is the size. I would say this lasts on an average of 3 weeks, if I wash my hair every other day, so it gets me through about 11 treatments. I have worked this out to be about 73p a treatment, which is reasonable but £7.99 does seem lots of money when you're stood paying for it at the till in boots!

I would strongly recommend this treatment for those who have or do frequently dye their hair or repeated apply a lot of heat simply because it nourishes the hair and scalp helping to restore it back to its original condition. For those looking for hair growth, please don't expect miracles from this product. It does take time for the hair to restore before it begins to grow, so if you do buy this product be patient it will eventually speed up growth!
If anyone has found any cheaper alternatives to this product, I would be happy to know what! Please leave any comments and questions below!

100 Happy Days

Hey guys!!

I was going through my social media and stumbled across 100 Happy Days, founded by Dmitry Golubnichy. He wanted to bring back happiness as he realised that people are too busy to take a step back and treasure and enjoy the moment, so they couldn't be the happiest they could be. In Fall 2013 he took on the challenge of finding one little thing to be happy about for last 100 days of the year! I'm amazed that it has been taken by 15,00,000 people from 220 countries! 

The idea is that you can sign up for the 100 Happy Days challenge and for the next 100 days, you can share a photo on your most preferred Social media of one little thing which has made you happy with #100happydays. If that's a coffee with your best friend, you've just bought that outfit you have had your eye on, you've gone on an adventure and found an amazing view or you have just walked through a little alleyway which has bunting hung up, anything at all as long as it has made you happy. You can use the hashtag as motivation and to see other peoples happy moments! 

I love this whole idea and I believe that if loads of us signed up and shared our happy photo everyday we could make the world a happier place. I am going to do this for the next 100 days, sharing my photo each day on my Instagram and Twitter, and of course on here, my blog. I have decided that I really want to support this and every weekend for the next 100 day I will be sharing the seven photos I have taken through the week on a blog post in more detail. 

Are you going to take up the challenge? Can you be happy for 100 days in a row?

5 Things I Want To Do #1

Hey guys!!
Recently I have been updating my bucket list and I thought that I would share some of the things that I want to do. I have got so many things on my list so I will only be sharing 5 today but if you like this post then let me know and I will make this a more regular thing!!

Go to Disney World
As I'm sure you probably all know by now, I am a huge Disney fan, but I have never been to a Disney park!!! I have wanted to go for so long and I am determined to make it happen soon.

Do a colour run
I have seen so many people doing a colour run and it looks like so much fun. The idea of raising money whilst having fun seems so cool and I really want to do it.

See a polar bear
I love polar bears and it makes me so sad that they are endangered and that there aren't any in England :( However, I have adopted one and I am definitely going to go to a zoo to see one soon!

Travel the World
This is so cliché and I feel that everyone always says that they want to travel the world, but it honestly looks incredible. I love visiting new places and travelling the world is a huge dream of mine.

Take a photo everyday for 5/10 years
I like the idea of taking a photo everyday and then editing them together to see how much I've changed over that period of time.

I hope you liked this post, please let me know! Also I have so many photos that I took on holiday (like the one above) and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a post about them? Thank you,

Benefit Roller Lash Review

Hey guys!!
Last month, I finally bought Benefit Roller Lash after lusting after it for so long. I was already running out of my mascara so I decided that I might as well just go ahead and buy the mascara that I had heard so many wonderful things about.

Benefit Roller Lash | £19.50

The Roller Lash Black Mascara is Benefit’s latest mascara from their range. The mascara costs £19.50 for 8.5g and the packaging is simple, the pink and black caught my eye immediately.

The mascara brush itself is a curved shape. This allows the brush to separate, lift and curl eyelashes, whilst promising to hold the eyelashes for up to 12 hours.
The brush on this mascara really does help to make your eyes look more open and your eyelashes longer, giving your make-up the finishing touch. The mascara is easy to apply and leaves behind no clumps on the eyelashes. I find this mascara also lasts a long time.

The packaging states that:
97% of people say the mascara lifts their eyelashes.

87% say the mascara is long lasting.
94% say their eyes look more wide open.

Personally, I would agree with this as I do visibly notice the difference to other mascaras. This is also a very buildable mascara which I like as it means that I am able to create different looks with it. 

However, I prefer the Benefit They're Real mascara as I feel that this is more long lasting and adds more volume to my lashes.

I would definitely recommend Roller Lash to anyone that is looking to spend a bit more on a mascara as it lifts and curls lashes so well!!

Let me know if you have tried Roller Lash, and what you think of it?
