DIY Face Mask for Oily Skin.

Hello lovelies, I have decided to have a bit of DIY on my blog and help out with everyone's skin care well majority I am doing one for oily skin, dry and combination, firstly for oily skin. 

Strawberry Smoothie.

Ingredients:

1 egg (you'll only need the egg white)

8 strawberries

A tablespoon of yoghurt

Lemon juice

Preparation:

Firstly crack your egg and put in a cup/jug just the egg white and whisk it till its all frothy.
Secondly mash all the strawberries up with a fork, I cut off all the green bits first and it does get rather messy.
Once you have done that pop the strawberries into the frothy egg white and add your spoonful of yogurt and squeeze in your lemon, just a few drops, you don't have to use a fresh lemon I just think its more beneficial. Once you have put all the ingredients together whisk those all together.

Once you have mixed all your ingredients together apply it onto your face, if it is too thin and watery add a little more yogurt that's what I had to do, once you have applied let it rest on your face for fifteen minutes, or longer if you're anything like me.

Then once it is all dried, wash of with warm water.

This face mask left my skin feeling so smooth and it did feel like it mattified my oiliest of areas, the egg in the mask tightened my skin and the strawberries made it smell yummy. I really hope those of you who try it, that it works for you and please tweet me your pictures! @Paigewallbank 

Cyber Bullying.

Hello lovelies, today is a bit of a deep post...

It it 2.30am and I have just watched a film 'Cyberbully' and it hit me as I have been there through school and this girl tries to commit suicide through all the hate she is getting and shes just an ordinary lovely girl. I don't know if people understand the pain they cause people when they write just one nasty comment whether it be on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, A blog post, Twitter etc anywhere.

 This new site I am aware of 'Gossip Guru' why do people feel the need to write vile messages about people? Seriously do you know what you could do to a person? Would you like to be responsible for the death of someone, that is potentially what you could do. You may think its funny to make a sly remark about someones appearance or how they blog, write etc there is just no need. I am fully aware my grammar isn't the best, I may not be the best at spelling and my blog could be pretty darn awful but I enjoy it, I like what I write so I'm not going to stop because some anonymous person is making fun of me, one comment actually said I was orange? Maybe when I over do the fake tan yeah but seriously. If you are one of those people breaking someone else down and picking faults with people how would you like to be the victim of cyber bullying? Would you like to feel really low and crappy, feel like a freak and people making fun of you, I highly doubt it. I know a lot of people do have a joke but there is a massive difference from having a joke and a play with someone to actually bullying. Some of the comments I have seen on there are shocking and I'm not going to name the people being victimised by the cruel comments but some of them have been lovely blogging friends of mine with all amazing blogs and beautiful women! The only thing I can suggest is jealousy. We all get a bit of the green eyed monster from time to time but you have to let it go, I'm jealous of Michelle Keegans body but I wouldn't write all over Twitter 'I hate you, you skinny bitch'. I know full well the people hiding behind these computers would not ever have the balls to say any of those mean comments to someones face, or even show who they really are on the internet. I just don't know what goes through there minds to post mean things or what they get out of it. I made the mistake of using gay in the wrong context on Twitter a few weeks back and in no way shape or form am I homophobic but this girl made me out to be and I felt so bad for days thinking she or anyone could think that of me, I hated the fact I upset her at first then I realised she is the type of person to pick faults with people and loves an argument. That was posted all over her blog and went on Gossip Guru and she had the cheek to accuse me of posting about her. I would never bully anyone and I certainly wouldn't hide anonymously behind a key board giving people grief, if I have a problem with someone I prefer to talk to them and hopefully resolve the matter, not carry it on. Some people you can't forgive, or try with that's completely fine some people are just mean and make people's lives hell but they shouldn't. I just wish if people didn't like something they read, don't read it or block them. Or if you do have an issue speak up and tell the person don't be little them all over a net work site, which some people don't even read. I could retaliate and say these people are bums, sad, pathetic but it's not going to achieve much as they don't really care they will keep posting things because they can get away with it, they obviously don't have a heart to see the upset they cause and I'm sure I will be on there as soon as this goes up but being bullied and going through a lot worse in life its time I stood up to bullies, all the people that have been nasty to me in my life, I know I am better than them. It does not make you a BIG person to bully someone it does not make you POPULAR, it makes you stupid and mean. People who have also been bullied turn into bullies what is that going to solve? It turns into a vicious circle, be the better person and block that negativity from your brain, I know it is a lot easier said then done, look at all the poor innocent people that have committed suicide over cyber bullying! All these hatred sites should be shut down and there should be a lot more being done about people getting bullied over the internet.

Everyone is different, we are all different races, different genders, some people are gay, some people are straight some people even like both, we all have different views on religion and were all different ages. It would be pretty boring if we was all the same right? Who has the right to judge or bully people based on their choices in life, what they do etc. If people focused more on their life than interfering and picking on others the world would be a much better place. There is also a difference between opinions and bullying, for example I hate drugs but if someone wants to do them that is completely their choice in life, it's non of my business I just hate them. I don't understand why people are racist or homophobic? We all have different skin tones, I am really pale some people are really tanned, I would love tanned skin! We all have the same colour blood, whether we are black, white, Chinese, Japanese, American, English, Irish, Scottish, Pakistani, Australian, Jamaican, straight, gay or bisexual you get the picture. It is a sad world we live in to get judged by the colour of our skin, the people we fall in love with or the people we have belief in. 

If you are one of those people writing a negative comment re-think your decision, would you like to receive the same message your sending? If you are going to write a nasty comment about someones blog why not just stop reading that blog if you think its so bad? The same on someones YouTube channel, stop watching it if it's not your cup of tea. People work hard on their blog and YouTube channel and you could really knock someone's confidence and make them want to stop doing something they love, some people can take the comments on the chin, others can't again were all different and we all have different pain pressures. 

Just be a better person and stop giving out negativity, you will find writing something nice about someone or to someone will make you feel better about yourself too. Go and make someone's day tomorrow and leave them a lovely message. I plan to make someone's day every day from now on as life is too short to be miserable and unhappy about stupid things and I am certainly not going to let an anonymous message get me down anymore, neither should you reading this if you have been through the same thing. 

If this helped in any way or you dislike this sort of post please let me know in the comments below, my next deep post is going to be about depression and dealing with it, if you would like to read about that please let me know also, if anyone is feeling down or has/is being cyber bullied please speak up and don't hide it, keep all the evidence and talk to someone. As always also if anyone wants to speak to me my email is in the side bar and I would love more than nothing to chat to you, I love meeting new friends and I have two shoulders free always.

Goldwell Kerasilk Event - Rachel Lameys.

Hello lovelies, yesterday I was very lucky to be a hair model for Rachel Lamey's Hair and Beauty Salon. It was a Kerasilk demo event where the team were getting taught how to do a kerasilk treatment which is a new treatment that treats unmanageable, frizzy and curly hair to sleek, straight or stylish waves. They have different intentness for each customer, for example there could be a customer with afro curly frizzy hair that still wants her curls but wants to tame the frizz, so the stylist would choose a medium intensify to give a subtle curl without the frizzyness. Then you could have someone with really thick out of control hair who wants really straight hair so the stylist would intensify them with the highest kerasilk treatment. That isn't even the best part, it could last up to five months! Imagine not having to straighten your hair every day for that long? You just wake up in the morning, have a quick shower blow dry your hair and you're good to go, it doesn't even sound real does it? But it is, it's so true as I am the evidence.

I will take you step by step what happens in the treatment if you have never heard of this before and if like me you had unmanageable hair you will seriously want this in your life, it could even change your life! My hair before the treatment was so poor, from dying it over and over, a lot of heat on it, the ends are just knackered basically I really didn't have high hopes but after the whole treatment I was gobsmacked, but I'll get to that at the end.

BEFORE TREATMENT

Chemically damaged, unmanageable, frizzy.

First Step

The stylist will wash and shampoo your hair to see it in its natural form before analysing what treatment you will need and how you want your hair to look like for the end result.

Second Step

After discussing how intense you want the treatment to go the stylist will dry your hair 80% and tie it all up in little knots as featured here.

The stylist will then take out your hair layer by layer very thinly applying the kerasilk treatment all over your hair strands soaking it all up but not drenching it. Once it is all on your head which takes about 40 minutes it is left for 15 minutes to all soak in together and gets penetrated into each and every hair strand. 

Third Step

Once the 15 minutes are up the stylist blow dries your hair 100% to really work the treatment in, then they put your hair up in those funny buns and again take out a tiny section at a time and iron your hair strands bit by bit 6 times per hair piece. Then you wouldn't believe after ironing your hair all over you go and wash it all out, using the Ultra rich kerasilk rich shampoo and conditioner, you only need the tiniest amount as there products go a long way and they smell gorgeous too.

Forth Step

The stylist will then finish it all off with a blow dry in to the style you like it and job done! No straightening was involved at all just a blow dry and this was the finished look...

Sleek, Shiny and MANAGEABLE!

I could not believe my eyes and the transformation, I thought my hair was at no return, granted underneath my hair does need a really good trim which it will be having very soon but you wouldn't even know what state my hair was in before if you just seen my hair at this picture would you? It looks like it has been cut but it really hasn't. This would work even better on natural frizzy hair though not chemically damaged like mine, but if you have damaged your hair through colouring and heat etc I would recommend this to you also, because before this treatment it was pretty impossible to run my fingers through my hair without it snagging and hurting then after the treatment I could easily run my fingers through my hair and it was unbelievably soft and sleek, I am seriously amazed!

If you have really frizzy hair, overly curly hair you cant tame or just hair that is really out of control I couldn't recommend this enough to you, I really think it would change your life and make your life a whole lot easier. When I first heard it was £150 I thought wow that's expensive but after having a good think on the amount of products we waste money on, thinking they will tame our frizz, un-damage our hair because the adverts say so, I would be able to afford several of these treatments! Plus this treatment lasts you up to 5 whole months so really you would only need this a couple times a year and you don't have to straighten your hair every single day. I will show you some before and after pictures of some hair models below how much better it is on non chemically damaged hair, in theory it is saving you money and saving it from further damage.

If you want your hair in better condition and to feel fabulous I would highly recommend you going for this treatment and you will see the amazing result for yourself. I was very dubious but it worked amazingly and me and I have the shampoo and conditioner also to trial out with it, which makes the treatment last longer looking after it and maintaining your hair. If you are one of my local readers Rachel Lamey has a fantastic offer if you book in your treatment ASAP with £25 off so £125 for the treatment with the after care to go with it. It is an offer you really can't refuse I just want to be there with every treatment they do to see the transformation and the shock people will have on there faces. They already have a couple of bookings after seeing the results with my hair and the lovely educator Marie Crowder from Goldwell giving her a consultation, Marie was absolutely lovely and explained everything in full detail and made it look really easy, it is pretty straight forward as I think I could easily do this myself if I had all the products but its best to leave it to the professionals. 

I really hope this helped you in some way and has give people an insight to the world of fab hair, don't be feeling down about your frizzy mane go and sort it and make your life easier.
