The Lazy Day Dress

 

 

Lately I've been having a few 'lazy days', lazy being used in the terms of getting ready and looking presentable haha. I've been spending days just chilling  at home doing some sewing and starting to determine what I need to take back to uni for my final year (scary stuff!). Usually when I have a lazy day I tend to chuck on a pair of trackies/ sweatpants and one of my comfiest t-shirts. However recently I have loved wearing this grid patterned smock dress I picked up from Topshop a few months back. I'm a bit sceptical about smock dresses on my body as I am naturally broad so feel like they aren't the most flattering of dresses on me. However I think this one isn't to bad! It comes up huge as this dress is a size 10, I would normally wear a 14/16 but that size swamped me when I tried it on. It's such a light dress and is super comfy. I love the combination of the lilac shades of purple and grey together. I can't resist a bit of purple as you know! I never thought I would wear dresses on days where I'm not doing anything but it appears I rather enjoy it.

 

In terms of hair and make up I literally am so lazy! If I'm not going out then I choose to not really put make up. I may put a little bit of mascara but lately I haven't even been doing that. I love make up but I think it's important to let my skin breathe from time to time. Most of the time I am comfortable with venturing into public without make up on even if I look like I'm ill (obviously there are days where I don't want to). My hair I usually just brush and leave. I washed my hair last night and just left it to air dry. It's naturally curly like this and I'm kind of digging it lately. I've got into a routine of applying some hair products that I think are really helping maintain the health and curly nature of my hair whilst I attempt to grow it longer.

 

I need to get out of these lazy days as I got back to uni in what a couple of weeks now! I'm not ready for third year at all!!

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

Miracle Hair duo

I am in no way and expert when it comes to hair. In fact I'm pretty terrible. Naturally I have extremely curly hair that always goes frizzy every time I brush/ comb/ style it so I used to reach from my straighteners every single day.

But after years of over straightening and not using heat protectant (sorry) I had done the damage and my hair had to be cut off as it was completely ruined. A goal of mine for years has been to have long hair and it's finally growing!! yay :D

But obviously with my wanting length I've had to tone down the heat styling and embrace the curls, and I feel like I've found two products that actually work for me.

VO5 Mega Hold weather resistant styling mousse

This stuff is honestly a life saver. Many people have told me that mousse is a must have if you have curly hair. However I had never used it before buying this beauty. My hair has been so much easier to control since using it and now I can't imagine not having it in my life. When pumping it into your hand it's scary at first because it expands loads and I always think I've got way too much. But it's quick and easy to distribute evenly through the hair and doesn't leave my hair feeling sticky which is the main thing I was concerned about. I believe it does what it says on the tin- strong control and 24 hour hold



Frizz Ease Go Curlier 48 hour curls heat- activated spray
Frizz ease was clearly made for me. I love this as it creates such nice waves. As my hair is getting longer the curls are starting to become less poodle like which is making me very happy. This spray is light, smells amazing and adds the softness I have wanted for a while! It says its best to blow dry with a diffuser which I don't own but I can imagine the result would be lovely. I leave my hair to air dry most of the time and it still produces soft curls.


I'm so happy I'm now starting to come up with  a hair routine I'm happy with. I actually need to get it cut but I'm too scared as it's taken so long to grow that I don't want some hairdresser just chopping half of it off. It's happened to me so many times that I have cried.


Have you used these products before??
