Lightening the mood in here, I feel I must post about something that has changed my life recently.

OK, to say it’s life-changing is a bit of an exaggeration but it has made my day-to-day routine so much easier.

I had a Brazilian Blow-Dry; a conditioning Keratin treatement that smooths your hair, getting rid of frizz and making it 100 times easier to style. I used to spend up to an hour drying and straightening my hair (my curls are soooo unmanageable) but now it only takes around ten minutes.

The treatment lasts up to three months and it’s not cheap (mine was £150 at Ronald Masters salon in Nottingham, but I believe Rush salons give discounts via Twitter). However, I will definitely be having another treatment in a couple of months time as my hair is so much more manageable now – I love it.
