Changing to sulfate free


I was lucky enough to be born with thick curly hair that I have never grown out of. If anything the curls have got more defined. I have never straightened or dyed it either so the only damage is wear and tear from baubles.

Due to my ocd and finding something that worked I didn't even really change my hair routine until recently. My sister found a specific way of washing curly hair and products that would benefit it way more than it was. (Back note me and my sister both have curly hair)
So on the recommendation of what she found I changed to a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner and added a curl creme to my routine to boost my curl even more. It took a bit of getting used to doing the routine every time but the change in my hair and scalp has been more than benefical. I wouldn't go back to the brands I was using before. When asking a hairdresser I had recently how my hair was she said it was in good condition so I really did make the right choice to change to sulfate free. 
I'm not saying that I wouldn't add anything else to my routine but at the minute what I'm doing is benefiting me. It's making me accept my curls even more because they are more pronounced. 

I am still relatively new to it all so finding brands that offer sulfate free always takes a bit of time. But it is interesting to see how many are now changing  because if the change in social acceptance. More people being aware of what they are using on there heads.

If this week has taught me anything

If this week has taught me anything it’s that the grief monster can hit at any time and totally floor you. That three years feel like just yesterday. And that there is people around to give a hug when needed. So last night in the midst of volunteering it hit me like a ton of bricks. The tears started and it took me a long time to proper calm myself. I’d manage to tell the coach right at the start of the night that i was struggling and that it had been a hard week. That it felt like just yesterday that he’d died and not nearly three years. I’m lucky with the fact that the coach I work with also was my husbands coach so that in itself is a help. I’d managed one class and was more than half way through the second when a shot I threw was called rubbish and one look to the other lady that coaches with me and I was a mess. If I hadn’t of already been sitting on the floor I think I might of ended up there. Luckily for me she also knows my history and shouted on the main coach who got to me...

Sales/wish list

Like many I will be doing the sales this year. But it won’t be till the end of the week (let’s hope there is stuff left) A girl can dream right, the presents that weren’t received or the things you have your eye on hoping they come down in price. For me going into 2018 there is a few things that I would like to see if they are in the sales or at least within budget due to getting money to spend. I’m going to start a fresh with 10,000 steps a day so a new set of headphones would definitely be needed as the ones I have I spend more time trying to keep them in my ears than listening to anything. I think I would also love a new jumper as I’m known for wearing the same ones until they hole. I so really need to find new things to listen to as well. With a specific present i got I’m wanting to buy a ring that can wear everyday. The money was from my grandparents and we lost my gran the middle of the month. So something to wear that reminds me of her I think might be nice. I used to alw...

Not in the best head space.

So turns out I’ve been battling a mental health episode for at least a three months if not longer and I haven’t been aware. Before anyone questions why I didn’t know what was happening it’s because I typically don’t see what’s happening until I’m at a point that someone goes “WE NEED YOU TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE” It builds up slowly and manifests to a point that I’m really in a negative head space. I’ve learnt this time and the hard way that everything that I thought was happening wasn’t. It was my anxiety and grief having a fight off and I was the looser. Not to forget the ruminations of things that might happen or I might do ( some of those thoughts are hard ) Insomnia Panic that I’m seeing things out corner of my eye that aren’t there Negative thoughts - not good enough etc  Real bouts of sadness Not really wanting to eat - snacking  Racing heart Believing things are wrong with me when they aren’t  Those are only a few of the things that I have been dealing wit...
