My Current Aussie Hair Products

Hello everyone!

I am writing a post to let you know what hair products I am currently using as I'm really loving my current hair routine!

I use the Aussie range and the main reason for this is because my hair smells so so good after using it and the smell of my hair lasts for a long time! It also lets my hair feel so fresh and in good condition!

For my shampoo, I'm using the Aussie Miracle Moist as it leaves my hair feeling really really clean and this cleanliness will last several days (£4.69).
For my conditioner I am using the 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor as I recently got my hair cut and I'm hoping to keep it as healthy as possible (£4.99).
I also use a Miracle Recharge Conditioning spray for shine which I basically use the day after washing my hair so the scent of the shampoo still remains in my hair and my hair still feels fresh (£4.69).

These three products can all be bought in Boots for £10 for all three which is such a good deal.

 I also recently purchased another one of the conditioning sprays and this is another Miracle Recharge but this one is specifically used as a Frizz Remedy. If I ever wore my hair in a bun overnight, I would use this Frizz Remedy to tame my hair, and again the smell of my hair would remain really nice. I couldn't find the price of this item anywhere but it is probably between £4.49-£4.69).

Another recent purchase was the Aussome Volume and Conditioning Mousse which I also really like because you don't need a lot of it for it to work wonders. This puts my hair in good condition whilst also helping me to style it (£4.99).


The final products from Aussie that I love are the mini Miracle Moist sets. The shampoo and conditioner are a really handy size for taking away with you for the weekend, or if you're going on holiday. You can get these in Tesco for £1.10 each or £1.69 each in Boots but Boots have the 3 for 2 offer quite often.

I hope you enjoyed this, and there are definitely some more Aussie products that I would love to try out soon so keep a look out for an updated Aussie Products post!

Love you all,

Post-Exercise

Hello my lovelies!

If you have read some of my tags that I have done and answered questions in, then you will know that I am heavily involved in sport, which means I have to spend a lot of my summer going out for runs and keeping fit and healthy!

Therefore..I decided to write a very short post on what I do before and after I exercise.

Before exercising, I always make sure to wash my face and tie my hair up really tightly. I make a good playlist on my phone and put my earphones in, choose a comfy running outfit to wear and then I go for a run. Today I went for a very relaxing 2.5 mile run just to get me back into the way of fitness as I had taken a bit of a break from it to recover.

After I come back from my run, I make sure to drink A LOT of water! I would run myself a very big, warm and relaxing bath, making sure to bring a bottle of water with my to remain hydrated.

The products that I used in my bath today were my current face washes (Simple Moisturising Facial Wash and Clean and Clear Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub), my new Greek Olive Oil Soap and a Tresemme Deep Smoothing Hair Masque which I actually used after my bath along with my Face Food Orange and Vitamin C face mask. I obviously also used shampoo and conditioner but these will be revealed in a separate post!

After I got out of my bath and was doing my face mask, I moisturised my whole body with the Dove Moisturisor.

I then proceeded to relax in my room, listened to music and began to blog!

I hope you enjoyed this post, love you guys!xo
