Scrub a dub, dub!

Oh bliss, coconut smelling scrub to slough away dead skin!  I'm in.  Not only is it organic but smells good enough to eat, and my goodness, it is so pure you could nibble away whilst in the shower though, take it from me it's far more effective to when used twice a week.
This scrub works away at skin to reveal clarity whilst intensively hydrating skin with natural oils, so no need moisturise after.  My body is feeling buffed and tasty!

Super Serum.


Even though the weather is warming up, (crossing fingers and toes) we still need to keep skin hydrated, yes, plenty of water but how do we moisturise without letting our skin feel oily and clogged up. My latest discovery for daytime hydration is 100% natural, certified organic IKOVE Acai Chocolate Age-Resisting Serum, a weightless gel liquid heaving with nutrients along with cocoa, antioxidants and vitamins. Smoothes on with the lightest touch that feels so comfortable in humidity and hot, drier climates as well as combat signs of ageing.

Hairloss: Update no.2

I finally have some positive news, my hair is showing signs of regrowth!

I visited Ena Salon www.enasalon.com recently to have my sunkissed highlights redone and the colourist, Lindsey, noticed regrowth around my temples.  This is good news and proves that I am unlikely to experience extreme baldness.  The downside is this now proves a pattern in how my hair will always replenish
.
Due to hypothyroidism there is a slower supply of blood to promote the cycle of hair naturally falling out to then regrow.  Knowing this makes me feel better, so as much as I am following my list of treatments, the result is more about healthy hair than anything else.

Will I carry on taking supplements and slathering on castor oil etc?


Yes, because if I can achieve healthy hair then it makes those blank patches seem less  significant.

Do you dare to go bare at night? I don't!

 Our skin replenishes itself at night-time and what better time to boost it with active ingredients to repair and nourish than when asleep.
Granted, it can be a task to find something comfortable and non greasy but I have stumbled across a few night time feasts for my skin such as the No.1 classic and award winning Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair. Another dreamy solution that avoids making skin feel like it has been drenched in a gallon of oil is Darphin Organic Orange Blossom Aromatic Care. The essence and feel is beyond a delight at night and helps replenish and brighten. Be sure cup hands with a few drops and breathe in before massaging onto skin for the full benefit.

Hairloss: Update

No signs of major regrowth yet, even though I have been religiously drenching hair in castor oil twice a week, washing occasionally with Michael Van Clarke 3 more inches Life Extending Haircare and popping mega strength iron supplements galore!

Though saying this, I have had so many compliments about the health of my hair itself.  Many have said the condition has improved and is glossier than ever before.  I put this down to the Michael Van Clarke range due to the Pre Treatment which helps nourish hair back to its best.

Additionally, after much research I have learned that Co-Q 10, Biotin, Shark Liver Oil and Vitamin B6 will all accompany me back to regrowth, therefore I have added these supplements to my daily regime.

Hmm, hopefully I can watch and grow!
