Henna Hair.

Because its spring even though it snowed this morning?!! In April! Why?! Anyway I digress, because its spring I wanted to pay with my hair, so I ended up stealing my sister's henna with her permission, so its not really stealing. 

However I didn't know what colour it would be because it no longer had the label so it was a bit of a gamble. Thankfully it payed off.

It you want to Henna your hair then leave a full day for it or an evening, but if you do it in the evening then you will have to sleep in it. So it depends on how much you value your bed sheets. It doesn't work as quick as normal dye because it is more natural so it has to develop for longer, but its worth it as it leaves your hair with a beautiful natural colour and a lovely glossy shine. 

Having someone who can help you apply it can be helpful because of the mess and they can see if you've missed any spots. However I wouldn't go out with this look as you can see from the picture below that you have to wrap your head in cling film which isn't very flattering. 

The instructions are really clear though so anyone can do it, 

Henna from Lush.

Kite Nest. Natural and Pampering.

In my local area there is an amazing brand that I really wanted to share with you. It is called Kite Nest.  Their products are 100% natural which is important to me because I think your body is natural, so you should try to put other natural things on it. 

         

I'm not sure if I can pick a favorite, but it may have to be the body butter which has a lime and clove scent. As the products are natural the scent is not overwhelming which is great for me because I can get head aches from extremely pungent smells, but this is just perfect. As well as trying it myself to give you a honest review, I also asked my mum to use it. Body butter is her holy grail product that she swears by and has done for decades; so I knew she had more experience to give it the best review possible. To be honest she really loved it! My mum uses the same brand all the time, so she has enjoyed a little change. She said that this body butter soaks into the skin quickly, is mousterizing without being greasy and I completely agree. Kite Nest's body butter is defiantly a favorite of mine now especially as it is still cold so the product really does wonders for my dry skin.

I have two Kite Nest lip balms which have Orange and Spearmint scents and their consistencies is not too wet which I really dislike as it makes my lips sticky, but these balms just give a lovely layer of moisture, so you don't have to deal with the hair stuck on lips on a windy day situation. They are easy to put in any pocket or handbag for the day or you could just leave one on your bedside table for night time. As they are completely natural I am not worried what I'm putting near my mouth, because like I said before we need to look after our natural bodies. I would defiantly recommend the orange scented one because it is so yummy and fruity. None of these products are tested on animals which is a fantastic thing as many of my favorite makeup brands unfortunately don't have the same amazing ethics. 

         

Last, but not least I wanted to talk about the body scrub. I haven't used this product as much as the others as you don't need to scrub your body everyday, but I have been so impressed with results it has given me without rubbing my skin red raw which is what most body scrubs do. The mixture is Himalayan salt and nourishing oils that leave your skin soft and smooth. And who doesn't want that?

          

I know these products will be used up quickly because they are so pampering and relaxing to use; you can look at these and other products here. 

What are your most pampering products?
