So, last night I tried something new...
I'd never done it before...
And I LOVED it!
YOGA!
Seriously, it was amazing. I felt so good after and it really helped my back.
The lesson started with a relaxation session and continued with stretches and yoga poses. These included the sun worship and warrior poses. The lesson finished with a final relaxation session and cool down.
Kara, the instructor, was so helpful and her voice was so soothing. I felt fully restored and so much happier. I would definitely go again!

Is anybody else addicted to 2 Broke Girls?
I LOVE Caroline's clothes, but there's one item in particular that, I think, looks stunning on her... her tailored shorts. There's no way I could get away with wearing shorts like that, but if you too want to copy her style, here's a few combinations of how to wear them...

1. Naturally Neutral
I love my naturals and my nudes so it's no surprise really that I'm creating an outfit with these colours. Because the shorts expose a lot of leg, I decided to even out the balance and keep the top half covered. The tailoring on the shorts is quality and I love how the blue on the pendant really stands out and catches the eye. Perfect for any age!
2. Barely There
Bare midriffs are key right now, so why not build an outfit compromising both elements? Be careful not to go overboard though, exposing too much flesh can make you stand out for all the wrong reasons. I love the cropped to with the rucksack, it's so 90's. Anyone else thinking 'Saved by the Bell' right now?
3. Pretty in Pink and Pearls
The great thing about tailored shorts is that they don't just come in greys and tweeds. More recently prints are on the catwalk and all over the high street. This, for me, is the ultimate summer outfit, whether it's lazing about in the park with friends or on the beach with that special someone, this outfit says cool, calm and oh so fashionable!
Woohoo!

These gorgeous ladies have definitely got it going on. Their luscious locks are shining and it's a sure sign that summer's nearly here.
I recommend:
The colour enhancing shampoos and conditioners by both John Frieda and Phil Smith are top of my list. They made my hair feel soft and shiny for 2 days. I did, however feel that they made my hair go greasy quite quickly!
I also recommend Percy and Reed moisturising conditioner, however I did find that it left my hair feeling a bit sticky after. My hair looked gorgeous, soft and altogether perfect for a night out, but I felt I had to wash it the next day because of the texture, so if you're looking to make it last longer, I'd use something different.
I'm currently in a dilemma. As much as I love having long hair, I'm getting bored with it. I'm naturally brunette and I don't really fancy dying it because I actually quite like my colouring, but I just don't know what to do with it or how long to have it. I'm also considering a side fringe but I don't know if it'll work. I need to sort it out soon though!
