Fancy becoming an Aussie Angel with Aussie Lusciously Light?...

As you all know, I was lucky enough to be chosen to be a part of the exclusive 'Aussie Angels' a group of girlies who are here to trial and test out products and in general enlighten the masses to the wonder that is Aussie! 

Recently we as Angels were sent a rather exciting little teaser... A HUGE box was delivered to the door and lurking inside was a rather cute Aussie helium balloon with, rather ingeniously a bottle of Aussie's brand new 'Lusciously Light' formulation conditioner to weigh it down! 

As i'm part of the Aussome Volume Tribe, the conditioner I recieved was the Lusciously Light Aussome Volume Conditioner - With the promise of lightweight volumised hair, you really can't complain! ;)

In conjunction with the new range of products, Aussie are also on the hunt for a further 10 Aussie Angels to join up with the already formed tribes! 

If you think you could be up to the challenge and really want to be a part of the Aussie Angel action then all you simply have to do is answer the following... 

“Put a spring in your spring! Tell us, how would

you lighten up your life? #AussieLight”

 

The 10 girls who will be chosen by Aussie will be decided upon by the strength of their creative flair when answering the above. You can write a blogpost, film a YT video or simply tweet @YummyHair with your reply! 

 

Whatever you do make sure you manage to send Aussie a link, this would be most easily done by tweeting them @YummyHair

 

You've got until Sunday to get your entries in & full terms can be found by clicking here!  

Good luck to all of you that enter & be sure to link me to your entry if you do!

Aussie Angels & Birthday Celebration Photos...

Evening ladies & sorry it's been a while! I've been mega rushed off my feet this week looking after my poorly Mum and her bad back. She's now on Tramadol for the pain and still can't yet move off the sofa! :( 

This week however I received a very exciting email from Emma at Aussie welcoming me into the 'Aussie Angels', a venture by Aussie aimed at bringing their products to bloggers and in turn educating us all of the treatments and benefits which Aussie can offer our luscious locks! 

I'm currently torn between the 'Aussome Volume' and the 'Luscious Long' tribes.. Although, as you all know I do have naturally long hair, I feel volume in my hair is more important than the length as I'm most deffo a big haired kinda' gal! Basically, I'd like to say a huge thank you to Aussie for giving me this opportunity & I can't wait to get started with my *Angelic duties!*

On another note, it was one of my good friends' birthdays last week and due to her being a Mummy to be, myself and the bestie Kirsty decided to take her out for a scrummy meal to celebrate, rather than the obligatory night out, which of course she wouldn't be able to enjoy as much! We went to our favourite Sea Front Italian Restaurant/Bar and along with Birthday balloons & surprise chocolate cake we had a fab night! 

I opted for a simple long sleeved black dress with these gorgeous taupe suede shoesies from ASOS..

With the Birthday Girlie herself...

Yummy Chocolate Cake...

We all had a fab night, as usual.. Hope you ladies have all had a fab weekend & remember if you have any questions feel free to either e-mail or Formspring me :)

SundayClub ♥ Hair: Beachy Tousled Waves

You're probably all wondering what on earth SundayClub is! hah .. I live in a sea side town; South Shields to be precise [It's where the Great North Run ends, if any of you happen to watch on TV?] anyways back to the point! Because it's a seaside resort, we have quite a few nice pubs lining the sea front and they're a perfect place to have a few chilled drinks on a Sunday evening :) .. It's also buskers night and you always get some really good singers [I'm getting paid to say this by my friend James hehe] .. Nahhh he's actually really good!

So Sunday gone we all headed down there for our obligatory SundayClub 'gathering' and had a fabulous night, filled with copious amounts of Rosé :) 

When looking through some of the photos which had been taken, I came across this one... 

[Click to enlarge]

I've had quite a few comments from you lovelies asking me how I do my hair/how I create volume in my hair, so I thought when I came across this I'd do a quick post. 

Basically, this was the Sunday night.. The previous night I showered as normal, towel dried my hair and then  simply sprayed some Aussie 'Dual Personality' texturising spray [Featured in my 100+ Followers Giveaway] all over it and then twisted it into a bun on top of my head and secured just with a bobble. The next day I wasn't doing anything other than applying some fake tan for the night, so I just left my hair up in the bun from the previous night. Once I was all ready to go out, I simply took out the bun, shook my head upside down to loosen off the curls and then spritzed it with a touch of hairspray. To add some volume to the back. I teased it a little with a tailcomb and picked out a few sections to backcomb. 

Literally that was it! - This photo was taken nearer to the end of the night, and the waves had stayed put perfectly and looked even better as they were falling out...

This isn't the way I wear my hair everyday, but I just thought it might give you an idea as to how to achieve the 'must have' beach style waves for summer, without using a ton of product or lots of damaging heat! 

If you'd like to see a post where I run through a step by step 'normal' hair routine; What products I use when blow drying and how I style my hair with lots of volume and natural waves [as seen in some of my FOTD posts] then just leave a comment below and I'll try and get that done asap! 

Hope you're all having a *Fabulous Friday* 

Much loveeee Xxx
