This time I’m writing about my hair!!  I get asked how I keep my long locks in check with the amount of exposure they get from the sun and water.. well, read on to find out!

I’m not gonna lie.. I’m pretty lazy when it comes to my hair, I do the bare minimum.  I wash and condition it every two days with Herbal Essence, no reason on the brand, thats just what I’m into at the moment!  I let it dry naturally, again this comes down to laziness with the blow dryer and it takes too long.  I don’t brush my hair either.  So due to my lack of willingness to tame my mane, its stays in fairly good condition as over brushing and over heating can really damage your hair!

If I want it to look a little more ‘done’, I run my straighteners over the ends and rub some serum into them while I’m at it.  I also use batiste to give a little extra volume at the roots.

However, my hair is my favourite when I’ve been surfing.  The sea water / salt water is like a magic potion on my hair and it just feels amazing on my head!  There are numerous products on the market that promise you the ‘surfer chick’ look, but don’t be fooled.. just get in the water! 🙂

Hitting up the driving range…

Riding at Club Wake Park with Lottie..

And planning a surf trip.. 🙂

A lot of people seem to ask me how I deal with being in the sun and water so much and how I take care of myself, so I thought I’d write some little blogs about!  Read on to find out how I keep myself beach ready with my no fuss no frills beauty regime! 🙂

Skin: I used to have terrible skin as a teen, I tried everything, all the typical spot creams and various antibiotics, but nothing worked.  The only thing that cleared my skin up was a diet overhaul.  I swapped out the greasy snacks for healthier ones, cut down on the chocolate and changed all sodas for water.  It didn’t take long for my skin to clear up.  That was years ago now but I still stick to it, whatever I eat shows on my skin/face.. so drink up H2O style!

I also believe in a skin routine, morning and night.  I always wash my face with Boots cucumber face wash (cheap, cheerful and does the job), then I use a Garnier day moisturiser in the morning, and Boots cucumber moisturiser before bed.  I also have a Boots cucumber eye gel if I’ve had a particularly busy day or sleepless night.  I used to think I didn’t need to moisturise because my skin is fairly oily, but all skin types need some TLC!
