TRESemme Keratin Smooth review

Recently I went out and bought the Tresemme Keratin smooth shampoo, conditioner and heat protection/shine spray. This is a review on how I found the products and will hopefully help you guys out!

Shampoo
On first glance this product looks professional and good. Its slick packaging gives the impression of a good/decent product. Fortunately it does not disappoint. I love the smell of it and once used it gives your hair a fresh/natural smell instead of an artificial one. My hair does go extremely frizzy so having a decent product to help calm the frizz is important to me. I do genuinely believe that this is a good product though as my hair feels extremely fresh and clean after use.

Conditioner
I love conditioner and it really is a necessity in my life. Again this conditioner did not disappoint! My hair feels so smooth and soft after use. Again it smells great leaving your hair soft and flowing. I leave my conditioner in for a good couple of minutes which I feel makes you hair softer. The longer the better really!

Heat Protection/Shine Spray
This is brilliant! Heat is not doing anything good for my hair so when in a rush (or wanting to give my hair a break) this is a great alternative. I spray it on to my hair doing two sprays underneath my hair and two on top (can change depending on the length/thickness of your hair) but not near the scalp or the top of my head as it gives a greasy look. I put this on every morning when getting ready. It really does last the day and control my frizz! Works magic on my hair!

My all time favourite films

Here I have some old films and new films (although mostly old) that are my all time favourites! Enjoy :) (Don't worry I am cringing as well)

Hairspray

I love this film! With the wacky dancing and groovy music, it is a great sing along film! Brilliant for sleepovers with your friends and Zac Efron is looking hot! A good light hearted film.

The Help

This film is the latest film I have watched out of them all and it brought me to tears. I had previously read the book which is just as captivating and emotional as the film. Based in the 1960's it talks about the Black African maids and the hardship that they went through looking after the white family's. A brilliant film but I would recommend reading the book first.

Bridge to Terabithia

As a child, this must have been the first film to make me cry. Children's films tend to have happy endings which result in pleasing everyone. The sad ending in this film makes the film original and encaptures children's imagination. A brilliant film which is definitely worth seeing.

Billy Elliot

Before watching the film, I saw the theatre production in the West End. I must have been quite young at the time but I remember being horrified at the amount of swearing in it! Never the less I loved it and have even been a second time to see it in the West End! The film I also equally loved! With a true representation of what Britain was like at that time (due to mines being closed down) it really draws you in! And as a dancer myself, I of coursed loved the dance side of it!

High School Musical

Although as a child I was deprived of Disney channel and all the shows on Sky and Virgin that my friends were watching, I was still a massive fan of HSM! I still know all the lyrics to every song (even in films 2 +3). It's a feel good film, which I am able to watch over and over again (literally).

The Incredibles

This is a brilliant film! It is funny and I love it so much! The feel good characters and interesting story line keeps you watching! I think this was one of those films that I would watch over and over again!

Brats the movie

What can I say! Stuff mean girls and Wild Child (although I do like that). This film tops them all! I could recite to you what all the characters were about to say! That is the number of times I have watched this film! In the last half term my friend and I could not stop laughing while we reminisced on our favourite parts of the film. She wrote a small bit about it on her blog. I beg you all to watch this film, it is truly amazing!

School of Rock

Another extremely funny film! Jack Black is extremely funny in it and plays his past really well! Quite an old film now but still as funny as ever.

The Hunger Games

Again, I had read the book before the film and although the book is better than the film, I still think it is brilliant! The graphics are amazing and the actors and actresses play the parts magnificently! If you have not seen this film you have not lived! I would recommend everyone to read the book then watch it! If you liked it you could then read the rest of the books. Catching fire and Mockingjay

My school trip to the Guardian

I am pretty sure, that I am not the only one who had previously underestimated what it takes to create a newspaper. I new it was hard and that there were factors to consider, but not as many as there are! I found this experience mind blowing and inspiring. It has certainly opened my eyes to alternative career paths. This is what we got up to...

On Tuesday 10th June, we all met at school and then at 9:00 left for the tube station. We got on the central line to Bank and then on the Northern line to Kings cross station. It was a hot day! We took a 15-20min walk and then arrived at the building! It was very modern and contemporary! Very my style!

A women picked us up from the front and brought us through the building to the Education room. Inside was very contemporary with modern furniture and finishes.

The education room was fully kitted out with Macs and laptops and everything you could need to create a newspaper (including very fast Internet). We firstly discussed and then were told what is needed to create a successful article. As I said said earlier, there is so much to conciser when writing articles and a lot of pressure! The view from the education room was truly wonderful! The weather made it even better

A Canal where Canal boats kept going up and down

At the end of the day, in our partners we had created front page newspapers with the current news that was coming in live! I extremely benefited form this experience and would recommend everyone to do it if they get the chance! Very beneficial and worthwhile!

Berlin Trip 2014- Day 5

Tuesday- Day 5

Very sadly, we woke up for the last time in Berlin. It was around 7:30am so we were all pretty tired (again). And yes, a lot of repetition in the whole tiredness thing! We did a bit of packing the night before but finished it of that morning. I was the last person out of our room and out of our group! Oops. We all brought our bags to the baggage storage area and went to breakfast. After breakfast we brushed our teeth and sat in the reception for a while so we could use the hotel WiFi! We got straight on to the tram and headed to Alexandra Platz! From the previous times in which we had been there, I had not thought it was that great but what I did not realise was that it had a massive shopping center! We split of into groups and were given 2 hours to do some last minute shopping and explore! My friends and I went to the shopping centre! We was a shop which was very similar to Lush. All organic, freshly made soaps, bath bombs and body stuff! It was lovely and we bought our teacher some presents in there to say thank you! We continued to look around at the various shops. We went into a souvenir shop and a chocolate shop which had the most amazing truffles and sweets! We looked around at a couple of clothes shops but we were all quite tired! With a bit of time spear we headed out into the main square of Alexandra Platz to soak up the sun and the atmosphere. Realising that I had not yet tried any real traditional food, I went to a wurst (sausage) stand. it was not the best but I did just get it from a random man so what did I expect? Once everyone met back up again we got back on the Tram and headed back to the hostel! We collected our luggage made the most of the WiFi and then headed to the Train Station. We got on the train and chilled out! It was a nice relaxing journey of us taking selfies and looking through all the pictures I had taken (800+ (not all selfies though). When we finally arrived at the airport station it was pouring with rain! Berlin obviously sad to see us go! We ran to the terminal building through the rain and once we go in it was very busy as there were other school groups as well. We all checked in slowly and then went through security where I was stopped and searched (must have been looking very suspicious). Past security was a massive duty free and lots of shops (to our delight). By this point we were all starving so a couple of us went to Burger King where I got a drink and some chips. We were all camping out on the floor (which was surprisingly very comfortable) when we found out that our flight had been delayed but not for to long. We had all put some money in to get our main Teacher a present which she loved! It was a little necklaces and she became quite overwhelmed. Finally, our flight was called and we headed to the gate so we could board. We got on the plane and luckily my friend and I were sitting next to each other. There had been a problem with getting our luggage on the plane so we were forced to sit on it and wait for a good 30min. During that 30min wait, Easyjet fulfilled my childhood dream, I got to go into the cop pit and sit with the pilot and chat to him and ask him questions! Call me pathetic but that made me so happy. A lot of us were all squeezed into the cop pit so it was very cramped but that made it even more funny. Finally, we took our seats and left Berlin. A sad moment but a trip I will always remember.
