Original Source: Super Scrub Mint and Walnut Shower Gel

I love my showers in the morning. I like to make sure I start my day with something enjoyable, so using products in the shower which I love is very important to me.

I love Original Source shower gels, but this was the first time I had come across this Super Scrub.

It smells amazing and has a slight tingle on your skin which lasts even after you have come out of the shower. This is perfect to help wake me up.

The crushed walnut shells act as a really good exfoliator and leave your skin feeling silky smooth after getting rid of all the dead skin.

However, the walnut shell particles are quite rough so might not be suitable for someone with really sensitive skin.

Original Source is a Vegan company so they do not test on, or use any products from animals, which can only be a good thing.

I think it is important to exfoliate your body on a regular basis (at least twice a week) to prevent in-growing hairs or pimples appearing where pores have been blocked by dead skin cells. It is also important to remove dead skin cells if you are going on holiday or preparing your skin for a fake tan. You don't want a blotchy looking tan now do you?

And, don't forget to moisturise!

Remington Pearl Wand

I have a love-hate relationship with my hair. It is very long, straight and heavy! I get so bored with it, threatening to chop it all off just for a change. There is nothing to it, it is just there.


I generally only wash (and condition occasionally), brush and dry my hair - and there lies my problem, I'm just not creative enough with it. I don't even straighten it. It's straight enough already (as far as I'm concerned).


For work, I have to wear my hair up and I have recently been trying out different styles incorporating plaits, messy buns and top knots, as opposed to just a normal boring pony tail.


If I'm going out and I wanted to make my hair a bit curly, I would generally just use my GHD straightening iron. However, this only really created a pathetic curl at the end which would fall out really quickly.

So... recently I purchased the Remington Pearl Wand after seeing the amazing results it can achieve on YouTube.


I am not disappointed!


I can add volume and thickness. I can have big voluptuous curls, I can have princess curls and ringlets!


It comes with this heat proof glove, which I find a bit tricky to use at the moment, because I can't feel my hair in between my fingers so keep letting it go when I reach the end - grr! But the wand reaches a whopping 210 degrees, so it will hurt if you accidentally touch it. I am living proof - ouch!


The wand also comes with a heat proof pouch to store it away in. I don't know whether the it is only the inside which can withstand the heat or whether it is a place to rest the wand down when you are grabbing another section of hair to curl. However the tip of the wand and the middle are heat free so provide an adequate stand if you are laying it to rest on a hard surface.


And for a low maintenance hair girl like me, it is so quick and easy!! Just a little hair spray and the curls stay for a couple of days!

God send!
