Wedding Ideas!

Hi Guys!

So as you all know I am (hopefully) getting married next year! Excited! 
And I just wanted to share with you all some of the ideas I had for my wedding.

Well Bobby and I aren't looking at having a big wedding so we're not having a sit down meal or anything like that, literally just wedding then reception.

So you've already seen my d.i.y bouquet!

Which I love and am going to be making a single flower for each of my bridesmaids.

But there are a few other ideas that I have had so here they are:

We went to view a venue which was completely out of our price range and when it came to viewing the room where the actual ceremony would be taking place, I noticed that they had tea lights in jars all the way down the aisle. Needless to say I fell in love with the idea immediately!

Another thing I really want for my wedding day is a wish tree

I love the idea that instead of carrying a big book around for people to sign wishing you luck, you can just place a beautiful little tree at the side of the room and your guests can just write small cards. I think they will be lovely to keep and look back on!

And the dress!
It has to be lace!

I want this one so much but I don't know where it's from so I'm going to have to search for one like it :(

If you have any other ideas please get in touch I would love to hear what you think!

Stay safe

Dandruff cure!

Hi Guys!

So for like the past month or so I have had really bad dandruff! I don't know why or how but I've never really had it before so I wasn't to sure how to deal with it. I looked up tons of remedies online, medicinal, herbal and so on just to see the different ways that people had gotten rid of their frankly embarrassing issue.
Obviously not my head but you get the picture!
One of the medicinal remedies I tried was the obvious anti-dandruff shampoo, Head and Shoulders. Well all it did was clean my hair really well and after using it for a good while, it was safe to say I was still not flake free!
I then found this medicinal shampoo called Alphosyl. It's a tar based product and contains tea tree oil which is obviously really good for the skin. I used this for a while to and still no change. 
After trying a few different remedies I thought that maybe some of them might need to be combined in order to sort out my flaky issue.
And that is what I did and will continue doing every 2 weeks to ensure that the dandruff stays at bay.
My remedy is baby oil, salt and Alphosyl!
Sounds strange I know but bare with me and I'll give you a little how to.
  • So Saturday night I massaged (not rubbed!) baby oil into my scalp and left it it overnight. Don't worry about your pillows you can wear a shower cap or a turban to keep your pillow oil free.
  • The next day before washing the oil out I took quite a bit of salt (as much as you need don't be too sparing!) and I massaged it into my scalp. I presume it acts as a type of exfoliant and to be honest it felt so good on my scalp!
  • I then rinsed my hair really well and made sure that there was absolutely no oil or salt left in my hair before I washed my hair with the Alphosyl. You don't need to use a lot of Alphosyl because it lathers up really easily when your hairs wet, so I washed my hair with the shampoo twice then rinsed it so there was no shampoo still in my hair. Rinsing properly is really important because if you don't what can you get? Dandruff! 

  • So anyway as soon as I dried my hair, which I left to dry naturally, there was hardly any flakes! I mean obviously there were still a few but compared to how bad it was before it was a dramatic change!


Now I know everyone reacts differently to different things so I'm not saying that this method will work 100% for you but give it a try, it might surprise you, it certainly surprised me!

Stay safe
