Best Beauty Finds - Tested and Tried by Yours Truly!

Best Hair Products (for sun damaged, dry hair and babes with scalp conditions)

Hello babes.

I've watched my hair descend into this gross, dry mess over the summer due to the fact that I have been going to the beach most weeks (sometimes twice a week!) and not really taking care of it.

In a state of panic, I bought everything I thought I needed to resurrect it and I think I may have just done it folks!!

Oh, Hello Hair!! This is a hydrating mask that has been touted to cure dryness and also helps with dandruff that can be caused by scalp conditions including dry skin, sensitivity to hair products, as well as skin conditions such as psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis and eczema. It's a natural remedy for all of these conditions and best of all - its an Australian owned business :)

Lea Journo has some of the best hair products on the market. I strongly recommend the Revive French Plum Oil for instant hydration (two to three drops for long locks) or an overnight hydration boost (10 drops or more all over - then wrap hair in a towel). I have also tried the shampoo and conditioner. #amazeballs #seriously #listentome

Best Body Products

Frank Coffee Scrubs have me addicted. It is seriously so good and I particularly love it after a hard workout (the Peppermint flavour is so soothing on sore/tired muscles).

I have tried the original (my favourite scent), Peppermint and the Cocoa. I am not a huge fan of the cocoa but the scrub itself seems to be more gentle and may be the perfect scrub for sensitive skinned babes!

In terms of the benefits that Frank claims to offer - I have seen a definite reduction in acne spots on my face, and also a reduction on the appearance of stretch marks. It has only been a month and I am hopeful that I will see further results with continued use!

So, here's the deal: You scrub, leave on for 5-10 minutes, and follow up with a beauty oil. Frank has their own body balm which is also coffee scented/based (but if you don't want to smell like ground coffee all day you can totally follow up with your normal body lotion or a different body oil!)

My favourite (ever) body moisturiser is the L'Occitane Almond Milk Concentrate is the best in the market. Lightweight, hydrating and doesn't leave a residue.

Once you go L'Occitane Almond Milk Concentrate, you can't go back. You've been warned, babes!

My Flash Trash-ing

I have been such a huge fan of Amber Atherton's fun and funky jewellery line since they started. The brand has gone through a major revamp recently and launched a new collection of charm bracelets.

You can opt for a gold bangle (brass metal plated with 2 microns of gold) or a friendship macrame type bracelet - both options have 11 graduated holes for you to mix and match and personalise your bracelet with charms to suit your mood!

Personally I LOVE charms and this jewellery line presents me with a new charm bracelet concept and #flashy #trashy charms I have never seen before. What ever she is calling it - I want them all on my arm!
