How to get rid of that dull winter hair with BUMBLE&BUMBLE

Hi guys...

It's been a while... I guess winter had gotten the best of me. But I'm back and ready to give you some more beauty advice. One of my best friends introduced me to this wonderful hair product brand, Bumble & Bumble. I got to test their "Don't blow it" (h)air styler product, a marvelous product for a "I-never-have-time-to-blow-dry-my-hair"girl like me. You just put it in generously, squeeze, twist and turn your hair, leave it to air dry and you get a beachy surf girl look. Awesome!

But you can not build a house without a good base, so I got to test Bumble & Bumble's Full Potential line, a range of products that strengthens you hair. I use a curling iron fairly often and during winter my hair looks kinda fluffy so this just came on the right moment. This range consist of  the  Full Potential Hair Preserving Shampoo, Conditioner and Booster Spray. Panacae in these products is the Hair Preserve Blend, a technology thas works as a liquid bandaid for the hair but in the meantime it nurishes your hair and it promotes the strength and elasticity. You get fuller and thicker hair.

Hooray for Bumble & Bumble!

Available at BB. salons and Bb. outlets 

Full Potential Hair Preserving shampoo €32,40

Conditioner €35,90

Booster spray €57,40

Sweet mornings with Hand Chemistry's Retin-oil

I'm a sucker for two things... Hand lotions/oils & pleasant scents! I found this product that combines the two...Retin-oil by Hand Chemistry! This winter must-have comes in pocket size and is multi functional (it is great for your body as well). And after applying the oil to your hands, your still able to hold your glass without it falling on the floor! In short, impossible to pass our tipical cold and windy belgian weather without Retin-oil! For all the smart ones among you... Retin-oil contains Retinoid anti-aging Complex and vitamine C and E to enhance collageen production which reduces obsolescence by the sun. 

Get your Retin-oil at ICI Paris XL for only €19,99 (100ml)

Pssssstt, boys, girls love stuff like this underneath the Christmas tree! ;-) 

SKULLY O'CLOCK

Baby, there is a new gin in town! 

Skully Gin, is a rather young brand out in the big world of G&T. Originated in the Netherlands, the duo Krijger and Smulders decided to combine the old tradition of the Dutch gin distiller with natural and distinctive herbes, fruits and spices. Skully gin want to be fashion forward and hyper cool and I must admit they are doing a fine job just by keeping the bottle rather simple but the embelished skull just gives it that extra touch! 

You can choose out of 3 different flavours that take you around the worl: Skully Dry Gin, Skully Oriental Citrus Gin and Skully Tangerine Twist Gin. I got to taste the last one myself and I must say it's exotical botanicals and citrus flavour make you experience the Arabian Nights! Combine this gin with Fever-Tree or Fentimans Tonic and you're good to go!

PINK RIBBON X REVITALASH

Revitalash supports Pink Ribbon

 

Cosmetics Make RevitaLash is a dedicated supporter of nonprofit breast cancer initiatives of scientific research and education. The standard procedure is that they donate the entire year a portion of the sale proceeds. Especially for breast cancer month RevitaLash its star product in a soft pink jacket draped: the Limited Edition Pink Ribbon eyelash. During the month of October another 10% of the sales of this Limited Edition goes to breast cancer research.

The intensive care eyelash promotes all-natural condition of the hair, while protecting it against fragility and brittleness. The result is beautiful, strong lashes. The ingredient Saw Palmetto provides a better look and bring extra shine to the lashes. Finally, wheat protein contains amino acids, peptides and vitamin B which makes hair stronger and smoother.

RevitaLash was developed by the American ophthalmologist Dr. Brinkenhoff as a gift for his wife, who was recovering from breast cancer. Intensive chemotherapy treatments had damaged her eyelashes, making them look fragile, thin and looked less full. He developed, along with a talented group of cosmetic scientists, a patented formula with the BioPeptin ComplexTM consisting of biotin, a green tea extract rich in panthenol and peptides that helps to keep the hairs fit,to strengthen and soften while simultaneously protecting it against fragility and brittleness. His wife's eyelashes looked visibly healthy, strong and full again after 12 weeks.

OH MY MONROE!

I have truly the best friends, because one of them decided to send me of to Monroe Beach at Knokke! "Just have a look, have some drinks, enjoy the sun and I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it" she said! Boy, do my friends know me.... Monroe beach is a great hide out on a sunny day. This lounge/beach bar had a superb design using timeless materials, it's like St Tropez in Belgium.  They have a very extended menu, including drinks (think rosé wine, sparkling wine, mojito, bos ice tea,...) andfood (great finger food such at chiabatta, melon with italian ham, tapenade,...). The staff is über friendly, the owner Debby is super charming and loves her job 101%! 

At Monroe beach, it's also possible to rent out a beach chair for the whole day so you can first get your tan on and have a dip in the sea. But when it's apero- time, Monroe beach comes to life with beats by the best dj's in town. 

Enjoy the summer at Monroe Beach

You can find Monroe Beach at Knokke-Heist (Zoute), zeedijk 711, right at the beach
