[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to staying clean and cleaning myself, I have always been pretty brand loyal and used a variety of different products depending on what part of my body that I am washing. Having shampoo and conditioner that reacts well with my hair is important to me, as is having separate body wash, face wash, and wash for intimate areas. The skin on your face has different needs than your hair, your intimate areas have different needs to your skin else where. Having different soaps to clean different parts of your body has always just made sense to me. BETAFEM is not a brand I had heard about previously, but when they reached out I wanted to try their feminine wash and see how it was compared to what I had already been using as the brand I had been previously using was one that I wasn’t 100% happy with, if I am honest.

A Day Out at Cecily Beauty & Relaxation Spa
[Ad- gifted experience] The Cecily Beauty and Relaxation spa has been recently refurbished, so both Claire and I were invited to a day out to try out their relaxing services and see the new look. There is a lot to do at this spa from body treatments to lashes, to pedicures, to piercings and spray tans. There are so many ways to indulge in self care and relaxation. Partnered with the Alchemy & i blow dry and bubbles, it’s the perfect place to book a day all about treating yourself.
The Alchemy & i blow dry and bubbles lounge is an area where you can get your hair styled and blow dried, while also sipping on delicious cocktails and bubbly drinks. This is like the ultimate bar for those who want to look fabulous. I didn’t end up getting a blow dry and spent my time in the Cecily spa, but still found this concept to be lovely and will be back to try out this area in the future.

Tutti Rouge Lingerie: Eva Yellow Set & Liliana Creme Bra | Review
[Ad- gifted product] As someone with a larger body, finding bras that are comfortable and sexy is sometimes a challenge. Often you end up sacrificing the look of your bras for comfort or paying silly amounts of money for something that looks good and feels great. Some people find trying on bras really uncomfortable, and with the amount of online stores, it’s easy to just order something and hope it’s up to the quality and standard you’d like. When Tutti Rouge reached out looking for people to review their lingerie, I was excited to try out some new clothing!
I ended up picking out a bralette set in yellow, which featured a full figured like myself as a model, as well as a simple creme bra. These undergarments came in a cute bag, quickly and were quite cheaply priced, considering the quality of the material and cut. The website, when it came to navigation, was a bit confusing. On one page, you can select the size that you want to purchase, but often that page that you are sent too doesn’t show all of the bras you could pick from. The bralette set that I picked doesn’t actually show up in a set size on the site, as it is a bralette, so the item can cover across three different cup sizes. This means that it does not appear in any of the three categories, which is a shame as some sizes seem like there is little to nothing to choose form, so if you want more choices, it’s better to start looking through undergarments you like.

De-Frizz Wave Tame Machine Hair Dryer Untamed | Review
[Ad- gifted product] I have had long brown hair my entire life. My grandma was a hairdresser, so she use to trim and cut my hair as a kid. She liked long styles, so I did too. When I was a teenager, I cut my hair short and dyed it blonde, but I didn’t like it. Currently, my hair is thick and long at it’s original brown color. I haven’t ever found a hair dryer that doesn’t dry out my hair and make it frizzy. Untamed offered a new solution to this problem – one that makes a lot of sense.
You see, I do get my hair cut by professionals now that I am an adult. I go to the Open Barbers in London, one of the best barbers in the entire country, might I add. One of the first times I was there, my hairdresser asked if I wanted my hair blow dried and I said no, because it would become frizzy. They said that it probably would not if I used some essential oil on it, which they then provided and did to my hair. This oil protected my hair and didn’t make it frizz up. It was pretty neat, but felt like a process that I didn’t really want to go into just to dry my hair. Untamed has taken out that secondary step and combined both into one hair dryer.
