The Low Maintenance Girl: Haircare Routine


Welcome to the part one of my first blog trilogy! The Low Maintenance Girl series is going to discuss my haircare, skincare and makeup routine. I am a low maintenance girl so I have perfected by beauty routine with the aim of little effort but maximum result!

I do love to look after my hair, it makes my hair feel nice and swishy and in turn, helps my confidence. My main hair problems are sensitive scalp and dry hair. My sensitive scalp is probably due to having eczema and my dry hair probably partly causes my hair is highlighted and partly the air con in my office (I don't know if that is a possible reason but I swear my hair has got worse since the office increased the aircon!). So these are the areas are tackle with my hair care routine.

I know this may sound gross to some of you but I only wash my hair once maybe twice a week. My hair used to get greasy (thank you dry shampoo!) but now it is used to be washed less. Greasy hair is the result of your scalp producing oil which conditions your scalp and hair so it is important not to keep washing it out.

Before I wash my hair I use a hair mask. Recently I have been using the L'Oreal Extraordinary Oil Hair Mask. I put on the hair mask making sure it is evenly spread across from scalp to the ends. Then wack it up in a bun and watch a YouTube video for 10 to15mins. Maybe with a cup of tea, see this post for my favourite teas this month https://bit.ly/2MHA78u.

Then I have a shower and wash out the hair mask using my Neutrogena T-Gel shampoo which helps to soothe my scalp. I always notice a difference in my scalp if I stop using this shampoo so it definitely works.

I then brush my hair using a tangle teaser which does not tug or pull on my hair preventing any damage. I then apply  Garnier Olia Super Shine Oil through the ends of my hair for extra nourishment. Before putting my hair into plaits to give it natural wave and avoid using heat from a hairdryer.

During the week pretty much as soon as I get home I just twist my hair into a bun and secure using a coil hair tie to prevent kinks and hair breakages. I then wake up in the morning, brush my hair add dry shampoo if needed or tie up into a ponytail if needed!

Hope you enjoyed the first instalment of The Low Maintenance Girl. Come back tomorrow for the second part focusing on my skincare routine including a budget beauty hack!

What is your hair care routine?

Love,
E.x

Booja-Booja Fine De Champagne Truffles Review

Now, who doesn't love chocolate? I certainly do! Though, I try not to eat it too often partly because I know it is not good for you and partly because dairy can make me bloat (attractive, I know!!). These Booja-Booja Fine De Champagne Truffles are by far my favourite chocolate treat. They are dairy-free and only contain six natural ingredients. Unlike most dairy-free chocolates I have tried these actually melt in your mouth and have a smooth centre similar to the creamy and smooth centre of Lindt truffles. The light champagne taste is subtle and comes as more of a refreshing aftertaste. It takes a lot of willpower for me not to eat the whole box in one sitting! The packaging is also beautiful making them a lovely gift for friends, family and even for yourself!  What is your favourite sweet treat?  Love,  E. x

Favourite Teas August 2018

What is nicer than sitting down after a long day with a cup of tea and a sweet treat? (perhaps a Booja-Booja truffle! see review here: https://bit.ly/2vw8BBg ). Here are my top five favourite teas at the moment. Irish Breakfast- Barry's Tea I buy this Irish tea from the world foods section of my supermarket. For years I didn't drink breakfast tea as to me it tasted like dishwater. How very un-British of me! That was until earlier this year when I tried Barry's Tea. Barry's tea tastes stronger than other breakfast teas I have tried and it has a sweet yet earthy taste. The perfect drink for a quiet evening in. Bedtime Infusion- Sainsbury's  I brought this tea when I had trouble sleeping with my anxiety. The tea itself tastes like sweet camomile and smells like lavender. The whole experience of drinking this tea very calming and is the perfect way to wind down after a busy day or went I feel on edge. Pure Peppermint- Twinings Peppermint tea is...

Day Out: Camden Market, Primrose Hill and Regents Park

Hope you are all enjoying your bank holiday weekend so far! Today, as the weather was the perfect summers day, sunny with a fresh breeze, I decided to take a walk. I started at Camden Town walking through Camden Market, Primrose Hill and Regents Park before getting the tube home from Baker Street. Prepare yourself for a lot of photos in this blog post, which I hope you enjoy as much as enjoyed taking them! Camden Shop Fronts When I first arrived at Camden Town the first thing that caught my eye was the bold shop displays. All brightly coloured, some with impressive 3D features which you can't help but admire. Pret a Manger and Acessorize Shop Fronts. 3D Shop Fronts More 3D Shop Fronts. Camden Lock  Nothing beats a stroll down a river to clear you mind! I love the mixture of buildings covered by weeping willow trees.
