Blomming

Blomming is a site in which users can buy or sell their products from your own little shop. 

This is like Etsy, you might say. Well, this is where you wrong.

Blomming allows the user to create their own shop on Facebook, through their page, as well as on their blog, just by adding photos of your product! (none of the 'click on this link' hoohaa). 

You can feature your products on your blog posts, and sell them without ever having to leave the page!

Your products will also feature on your Blomming profile, so other users can see what your selling and hopefully spread the word!

Now, being a budding entrepreneur like my self (see Stray Nails) and not really knowing where to start sharing my product, especially when you have to pay to even put your products on a site, this is the perfect solution! 

As soon as I have enough product (again, stray nails) and some good photos of them (failure to prepare is preparing to fail) I will definitely set up my own little shop on Blomming, excitingggg! 

You can check it out, and open your own shop here. 

John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Review

A couple of weeks ago I went for a chop at a local hairdressers. I took the plunge and got a full fringe, a decision which I later regretted and cried about for a good hour, otherwise known as a 'new hair meltdown'. However, after a few days of styling it myself and getting used to it, I grew to like my new framed face, it was just the colour I had a problem with. 

The hairdresser had put a full head of highlights in, yet I couldn't see a difference, this is when I decided to give the John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder range a go, and put the theory to the test. 

I have used a few of these products here and there before, but not all at once, and not consecutively. 

The range is moderately priced, with the shampoo and conditioner being roughly about £5 and the lightening spray about £7. Boots usually do regular deals on these as well, which gave me the motivation to try. 

As instructed, the products don't start to show until a few uses, and I start to see a difference around about my third wash. 

I have found with the spray, if used in excess or not rubbed in properly, does not dry properly and can leave the hair greasy. 

I have also found with the shampoo/ conditioner that although it has left my hair feeling smooth and shiny, it left my scalp slightly flaky and therefore had to switch to a different brand for a wash or two, so if you have sensitive skin, be warned. 

THE RESULTS

BEFORE 

A couple of days after my haircut, the colour is dull at the top, the roots are dark and it gradually gets lighter.

AFTER

Now weeks after my haircut, the colour is lighter, the fringe has grown in, and I'm happy!

I still have a way to go before I'll have that true summer beach blonde hair but I'm sure if I keep using these products, it will happen! 

That's the good thing about it, nice and gradual so you can stop whenever you like!

All in all, did it work? well, Is my hair blonder? Yes! 

I can see a real change to my hair, and when used properly, the products left my barnet feeling lush.
