Blast from the past

Hi everybody, today I have decided to share a few personal photos from my growing up. I'm going to create a sort of timeline so that hopefully you will be able to get to know me a bit better.
(WARNING SOME OF THE PICTURES ARE SHOCKING)

This photo is me and my twin sister Lian taken just before our very first Christmas.

These next few photos were taken in Wales. When I was little we always went there to my aunties caravan. We had so much fun.

This next photo was taken on my first day of school. The rest of the people are some of my cousin's.

Fast forward about 10 years and you have my last ever day at school.

Fast forward a few more years, me and my sister turned 18.

Now that we've turned 18 we can now legally drink so new years eve' s have been fun. Each year we spend New year with our cousin Emily and one of our friends. It's become a tradition. Here are some pics from our first New year out to our most recent, although I can't find the photos from this past New year.

Ok so the next mile stone in my life was my 21st birthday. For this I had a big garden tea party with a bouncy castle. We had cup cakes, jam sandwiches, sweets and alcohol(obvs). It was also strictly family only.

Here are a random lot of pictures from then to now to bring you up to date with my life. That includes a couple of holidays, christmas, a wedding and mothers day.

So that is my life in photos. I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed making it. I love going through old photos.

Much love Toni xoxo

Hair essentials

Hi everyone, toady I want tell you about the hair products and tools that I could not live without. My hair is naturally a big ball of fuzz, and used to take me ages to tame, but with the help of these few products it is a lot more manageable. I will link the name of each product for you in case you want to take a closer look.


ELECTRICALS
As my hair is so wild I tend to use a lot of heat to make it look suitable to go out in public.

1.Babyliss extreme air Hair Dryer.
It's not very often that I blow dry my hair, as I tend to wash it of a night and leave it to dry naturally, but when I do I love using this dryer. Because I have thick hair it used to take ages for me to blow dry, but since I bought this one my hair drys a lot faster.

2.TRESemme Volume Curl Wand
When I go out I love to curl my hair. With this wand I can have tight bouncy curls in about 15 minutes. It took me a few times of use to not burn my ears, but it was defiantly worth it.

3.Remington Multi Style
I use these hair straighteners almost everyday. They are amazing. They leave my hare so sleek and straight, and the best part is they curl my hair as well. Now I know you can use any straightener to curl your hair, but these allow you to change how large they are because the sides extend to adjust what size curl you want. I use these to curl my hair if I want a looser curl rather than the tight curl I get with my wand.


HAIR PRODUCTS
Because I use a lot of heat on my hair I used to find it would damage and snap off easily. It took me a while to find products that made my hair feel good again but I did find them.

1.Pantene Illuminating Shine Hairspray
I love using this hairspray because unlike others I have used in this past, it has amazing hold but doesn't leave my hair looking dry and stiff. It also brushes out which means I don't have to wash my hair every time I use it.

2.ARGAN OIL Shampoo & Conditioner
I love argan oil products. The shampoo and conditioner make my hair feel so soft and leave it a lot more manageable.

3.Argan Oil Heat Defence Leave in Spray
Because I use so much heat on my hair this spray really helps to protect it. Since I started to use it my hair has stopped breaking off and feels much healthier.

4.Argan Oil Hydrating Hair Mask
I know I already use the Argan oil conditioner, but I like to use this mask about once every other week as an added boost for my hair. When I use it I can feel a big difference in my hair, it's like my hair has been moisturised.

5.Argan Oil Hair Treatment With Moroccan Oil
I love to use this when I'm leaving my hair to dry naturally because it reduces the frizz. I also like to use it after I straighten my hair to add a bit of extra shine.




So they are my most used hair products. Do you recommend any other products to reduce the damage to my hair? Much love Toni xoxo
