A quick thank you...

This is going to be a very different post but I just want to take this opportunity to write a post & a thank you to one of the most amazing people in the whole world; my mum.
I know everyone will think the same about their own mums but I can't put into words how much of an amazing, beautiful & inspiring woman she is.
We may bicker & fight like an old married couple sometimes & over the years we've said some nasty things we didn't mean but my love for her has only got stronger.
If I'm ever confused or need help with anything I know she'll be right there to help. Even some of the stupid problems I get myself into & no matter how stubborn/moody/horrible I might be; she is always there. No questions asked. I know that she is always there behind me 100% in everything that I do & will support me through thick & thin, no matter what. I owe her my life in more ways than one.
I have never met a more selfless, caring person. She puts everyone before herself & would give her life & soul for her family & friends. She is one of the strongest woman you could meet; she literally works her fingers to the bone & I can only wish to be half as amazing as her.
She might have her annoying habits; (don't we all!); like her nagging & OTT stressing but I know she only does these things because she loves me & she cares.
To me she is the most beautiul woman in the world & she is not only my mother, but my best friend. The love & respect I have for this woman is endless & just grows stronger & stronger every day. She is the most important person in my life; in fact she is my life & I would be so lost without her. Just having the sense of security knowing she is there for me, with a shoulder to cry on & 100% support helps me through anything.
So now that I start this personal journey; which is one of the hardest & scariest things I have ever had to do; knowing she is right there by my side is probably the only reason I feel strong enough to tackle it. With her holding my hand I feel powerful enough to run head on into it & even if I slip up I know she's there to pick me up & help me carry on.
So thank you mammy bear; I love you with all my heart & more. Thank you for putting up with my 20 years of shit & still being there for me now. Not many people would have! You are the most amazing person in the world & I hope I turn out to be even a fraction as perfect as you!


 So until next time
Love

Monday Chit Chat


I'm going to apologise now for the lack of posts that I'll be doing for a while. I'm going through some personal problems & I want to focus on myself primarily before anything else so my posts maybe be a bit all over the place.
I will try to keep you all updated & I hope to be back into the full swing of things soon! :)
 
I'm going to try & get outside as much as possible now the weathers looking nicer. I went on a run along the old railway lines behind my house on Friday as the weather was just to beautiful to stay in.
 
 
Until next time
Love

3 DIY shampoos


Today I have another DIY post for you all :)
I always prefer to use more 'natrual' products as I know they're way less damaging to both me & the environment with all their chemicals. Some of the harsher chemicals can irritate me so the more natural the better.
And what's more natural than a making your own where you know exactly what's in the product!
Here are 3 simple DIY shampoos!
 
Egg Shampoo
1 egg
1/2 cup of your favourite shampoo
- Gently mix together & wash your hair with the mixture.
Just don't wash it out with boiling hot water as you don't want scrambled egg in your hair!
This will moisturise your hair while adding shine & body.
 
Beer Shampoo (Yes I'm serious!)
1 cup of flat beer
1 cup of your favourite shampoo
- Boil the beer in a pan until it is reduced to around 1/3 or 1/4 cup.
Mix together with the shampoo & wash your hair.
This will give your hair amazing volume/bounce & add shine.
 
Sunshine Shampoo
1/4 cup of your favourite shampoo
2 tbsp of lemon juice
1/4 cup of water
1 tsp of citrus peel (grated)
- Boil the juice, peel & water for 2 minutes then strain the mixture.
Mix the liquid with the shampoo then wash your hair.
This will give you amazing shine & leave your hair smelling fresh & clean.
 
Until next time
Love
