Rated: The Body Shop Monoi Miracle Oil

Hello girlies...

I thought I would blog about this product as it is one of my much loved products from The Body Shop. I bought it a while ago now when I was university and I still have a quarter of  the bottle left! FYI: TBS have revamped the whole 'Spa Wisdom' range and the Monoi Miracle Oil is still available :)

I usually massage oil into my hair once a month. It is a practice I have been brought up doing since I was little. Whenever my sister and I used to go to my nan's house at the weekends, my nan would get out her bottle of oil..usually Olive oil from her wardrobe and she would massage it into our hair. We would then leave it overnight and wash it out the next day which used to leave our hair feeling really soft, silky and shiny. I have continued to do this as I have been growing up and it really does make a difference with maintaining my hair as it helps keep my locks looking healthy and lush. I always get compliments whenever I have use this in my hair :)

Although I am blogging about this particular oil you can use any oil suitable for use on your body/hair. If I am at home, my dad usually has Jasmine or Almond oil in the cupboard so I just use that but I do love the scent of this Monoi Oil...it smells divine.

Usually I prefer to leave the oil in my hair overnight as it really nourishes the scalp and ends, but I have had it in my hair since the early morning today and have washed it out already, as I want to curl my hair tonight.

I should probably do another blog about this but oh well...lately I have been using my Corioliss 'The Curler' Wand to create soft, tousled curls. I tend to use it the day after I have washed my hair so my hair is ready to go the next morning. I curl my hair in the evening, comb them through using my hands and sleep on them. In the morning the curls are much softer and natural looking and voila, less time to do my hair which means I should really be leaving the house on time :P  I will try to take a pic and post it on here soon.

I really needed to oil my hair as it is going be another few weeks before I get my haircut and my ends are looking really dry. Thankfully though my hair looks like it has been revitalised - it's really smooth and looks so healthy :)

Jewellery and Accessories Storage.

Hey so I thought I would post a blog related to my love of jewellery today.

I was cleaning my room last night which was very therapeautic for once...and decided that it would be cool to show how I store my jewellery. I have changed how I store my jewellery so many times but I have kept it more or less like this for the past year with slight changes.

First off, I bought two corkboards from Ryman's and a few boxes of clear pins from Muji. I designated one board for my earrings and the second board for my necklaces.



I also have two really pretty and intricately hand made boxes. I absolutely love handmade, intricate and ethnic things. My friend bought me this (below left) on her travels to India. I love how beautiful the wooden carvings are, and I use it to store my rings.



The second box is really pretty too I love the hand painted pattern. My dad bought me this when he went to Pakistan a few years ago. I used to store my earrings in here when the collection wasn't so big but now I store stones, beads and jewellery that I may repair or create new pieces of jewellery from.



In my drawer, which I really need to re-organise, I bought 2 kraft boxes from Paperchase to store my bangles and hair accessories. To present my bangles, I bought thick Kraft paper that I cut into strips and rolled it up so it formed a tube, then I slid my bangles onto it. The second box is a mess. I really need to sort it out. It has an brightly coloured plant pot-come-hair-accessories pot which I bought from Ikea. It contains all my hair accessories (clips, pins, flowers, hair bands) and to the side I store all my alice bands. The 'mess' is made up of bracelets and bangles that I couldn't fit in the previous box.



I really do prefer this way of storing my jewellery and accessories as I can see them easily and pick out what I want to wear each day.

I hope you enjoy :)
