Bumble and bumble. Surf Spray!

I recently saw an advertisement for the Bumble and bumble.Surf Spray featuring a model with amazing “beachy” waves which made interested inthe product as I’ve always wanted to achieve this kind of look with my hair,without using straighteners. The product can be used on both dry and damp hairand claims to give you " Sexy,salty, sun-dried, windswept styles - whenever, wherever. " I decided to purchase the 50ml size for £8.50 from a Boots’Bumble and bumble and when I was travelling on my way back from the store Idecided to read some reviews on the product, which instantly made me regretbuying it. The product had so many 1 star reviews, with people saying it’s awaste of money, and I thought I was going to really hate the product myself. As my hair goes quite frizzy and lifeless after blow drying,I think it would be a good idea to try it on dry hair.

A few weeks ago I watched a documentary on the the extremes some individuals in Britain go to in order to have a tan. I was shocked to see people injecting themselves with liquids which aren't even legal to purchase within the UK (they order it online from abroad) and aren't even safely tested yet, but they claim to increase the levels of melatonin within the skin (or stimulate their growth, not sure what they do exactly as I'm not a biological whizz).

Should I Start a YouTube Channel?

Yo! So, for years I have been watching Beauty channels on YouTube and knew that someday I would love to be able to create them for myself. Here's some of my initial feelings when it came to wanting to start a channel... - Talking to a camera is flippin' awkward! My respect for those who post videos on a regular basis has literally shot through the roof. I am constantly worrying that next door can hear me speaking to myself and they'll think I've turned into a lunatic... I've had a few test runs and I'm starting to become a little bit more comfortable in front of the camera.   - I used to worry that people from my school/work would see them and take the p*ss... but now I've realised that is kind of inevitable and it's gonna happen so I may as well just deal with it. - I worry that nobody will want to watch my videos and find them boring... but then I thought, if I just make videos which I know I'd enjoy I'm sure somebody out there would
