My Holiday In Cyprus

                                             

Hello Everyone, I haven't really been posting a lot for the past few months for a number of reasons, one of them being exams and just a load of other complicated things propping up!

More recently I went on holiday to Cyprus with my family. It was simply amazing! We stayed in a place called Paphos which is by the coast on the western side of the island. We stayed in a lovely villa with a shared pool. The villa was really nice and spacious, it was probably one of the nicest places I've stayed in abroad.

We went mid August which is one one the hottest times of the year to visit Cyprus, and trust me it was HOT HOT HOT! One day it reached 37 degrees. Luckily we stayed by the coast which meant we had a nice airy breeze throughout our stay, but I imagine if you were to stay in the centre of the island the heat may have been quite unbearable for this time of the year.

During our stay we visited many amazing sites of Cyprus, one of those being the famous birthplace of Aphrodite - the Greek goddess of love. The view there was absolutely amazing and I'd really recommend that you'd visit it there if you ever go to Cyprus.

If you've ever been to Cyprus before please leave a comment below, I'd love to hear about your travel adventures! :)

L'Oreal, Extraordinary Oil Review




Hair oils have all of a sudden become very popular, so I thought it was about time I jumped aboard the bandwagon and bought one myself. The one I bought, if you haven't guessed already was the L'Oreal, Extraordinary Oil. The product comes in two varieties, one for coloured hair and one for all hair types. As I've never dyed my hair before, I decided to go for for the one suitable for all hair types.

You can apply it on wet or dry hair, whether you'd like it as a finishing touch or if you'd like to apply it on damp hair to protect it before styling...it's entirely up to you. I tend to use it after washing my hair, to make it feel soft and nourished once it's dried. I normally just use one pump as I don't have extremely thick hair and I don't want to make it feel too greasy. But depending on the thickness and length of your hair, you can use however much you want.

Overall, I've been using this product for over a month now, and I've been LOVING the results. I can't get over how soft it's making my hair feel, especially as I use lots of heat to style my hair which makes it quite dry. As this is the first oil I have purchased for my hair, I can't compare it to any other hair products similar to this, but I'm sure I'll re-purchase this product once I've run out.
