Bloggers Hangout- The Bloggers Summer Hangout Event Review
My years
have flown by!
It feels
like only yesterday I attended my 1st Bloggers Hangout event well if
I remember correctly it was also their first event, back in 2013 when they went
by the name Bloggers Love and most of their events were held at Penthouse
nightclub in central London.
I have
always happy to attend Bloggers Hangout event because they are a great to
network with both brands and other bloggers.
To
celebrate their third birthday Bloggers Hangout hosted the Bloggers Summer
Hangout at the Strand Gallery over three days (Three days three years get it?)
Unfortunately
my schedule only permitted me to come down on the final day but I am more than
glad I did.
Pride was
also on the same day so the streets were buzzing with excitement and rainbow
coloured banners and flags.
I have no
idea what the British weather had in mind there was rain and thunder but yet
humid and warm.
Not to
worry Cocktail Mania were on hand with refreshing slushy drinks.
On the invitation
there seemed to be more brands on the other days which were weekdays but the
offering was still great
Sass and
Bell
I was not
familiar with this brand but I fell in love with their wonderfully kitsch
offerings. As a recent home owner I initially planned to be grown up and
sophisticated but if I’m honest I’m still a kid at heart, I love pink and fun
girls things and I’m not ashamed of it.
Hell sometimes
your décor calls for a light up cactus or a novelty pineapple.
I will defiantly
be purchasing items from Sass and Bell in the future.
T-tox
Ok now I
swear down I’m not lying..
On route
to the event health freak Celetia actually said “I hope there is a tea company
at this event”
Hand on
my heart!
So when I
saw T-tox I had to laugh.
T-tox is
a Matcha powder green tea mixed with healthy goodness (Right up Celetia’s ally)
I tried the energise tea which was mixed with water which was actually quite pleasant
and really refreshing. Defiantly something I can add to my morning smoothie to
give me a little pep in my step.
Dinki Belle Nail Wraps
The words everything happens for a reason came into my mind when I introduced myself to Dinki Bell because my nails looked JANK!
Even though I only recently had a manicure typing and my daily vice of soaking my aching muscles in a hot bath at the end of the day means that my nail varnish rarely lasts as long as it should.
And I’m
also super impatient and fidgety which often results in my nail varnish getting
smudged before it has a chance to dry properly.
Pink
Parcel
I was actually introduced to Pink Parcel last year at another Bloggers Hang Out event and reviewed them for my blog
And since then ever month I curse myself for never getting around to setting up a subscription with them.
After a talk about the brand
Pink Parcel put us to work building out own mini Pink Parcel boxes selecting from a range of products to make the perfect box.

Blush +Blow London Review
Last week I was delighted to be invited to a new blow dry bar –Blush & Blow– in Fulham, London and I am excited to tell you all about it.
Walk Your Way To Weight Loss
When was the last time you went for a walk?
Sounds like a silly question doesn’t it?
But really when was the last time you went for
a walk?
How about you estimate how many steps you
do in a day?
I bet whatever numbers you come up with is
not even close to the real number.
According to the NHS A person can burn
around 400 calories by walking 10,000 steps briskly (3-5mph) and I figured I couldn’t
be too far froom that number boy was I wrong…
the average Briton walks between 3,000 and
4,000 steps a day but I have to admit some days I do way less than that (Hey I’m
a driver).
Plus walking can also be therapeutic giving you the opportunity to download your thoughts and feelings or you could come up with your next great idea.
I know we are all so busy and fitting a
walk into you day can seem impossible but believe me there are ways to sneak
some extra steps into your daily your routine
Get
off the bus early and walk the rest of the way home or to work
Walk
to the station instead of taking the car or bus
Take
the stairs instead of the lift, or walk up escalators
Invest
in a shopping trolley and shop locally if you can
Walk
the children to school instead of driving
Tips for getting the most from you walk
Find a walking partner, so you have someone
to chat to as you walk or join a walking group
Get an MP3 player and listen to your favorite music or podcasts as you go
Always warm up by walking at a slow or normal walking pace for five minutes before picking up the tempo of your workout.
Pay attention to your heart rate and breathing.
Walk at a pace that challenges you and elevates your heart rate, but don't overdo. You should be able to talk and carry on a conversation while you are exercising; if you can't, you may be working too hard.
Consider getting a pedometer or a smart phone app to track the distance you've walked or the number of steps you've taken. Watching your improvement over time is a terrific source of motivation.
Be sure to carry water if you're walking long distances or are exercising in hot weather and if it is especially hot don't forget to wear a hat with a brim and to apply sunscreen to exposed areas.
How many steps do you estimate you walk a day?
Naturigin Permanent Hair Colour Dye
I have been on my natural hair
journey for a few years now however my neutral hair colour is an off black
brown colour that can only be described with one word blah!
I used to religiously dye my hair
jet black but that along with having a relaxer, daily heat styling and the medication
it take for Lupus my hair was in awful condition and now that I am rocking a
healthy head of hair I am reluctant to use any chemicals.
A few months ago attended
Bloggers Fashion week hosted by Bloggers Hangout where I was introduced to the
guys from NATURIGIN and introduced to the NATURIGIN Permanent Hair Dye
Naturigin permanent Dye
The NATURIGIN hair dyes are
non-permanent doesn’t contain PPD(P-phenylenediamine), Ammonia, Resorcinol or
Peroxide so I thought why not give it a try.
I opted for Black 2.0
The Process was simple enough,
the kit contained the following:
Colour Cream (A)
Activator (B)
After Colour Treatment (C)
Safety Gloves (D)
I simply added the contents of
the Colour Cream (A) into the Activator squeezy bottle (B) shock the bottle to mix
it up.
I then applied all the mixture
from the Activator bottle to my hair starting on the hair roots and working
towards the ends.
When my hair was coated in the
mixture I then massaged it into my hair and the scalp, before covering it with
a shower cap to let it work in
The instructions said to leave in
for 30 mins but I gave it an extra 10 minutes as my hair doesn’t take dye very
well.
After this I washed the dye out
of my hair I applied the content of the After Colour Treatment (C) to my hair and
massaged gently for 2 minutes and then rinsed it out.
I then followed with my fave
conditioner.
Before
After
The result was a very natural
dark colour, I wouldn’t necessarily describe to as jet black bit I was totally
happy with the results
Have you tried any NATURIGIN products before?
