Herbal Essences Herbally Ever After COMPETITION

28 February 2013

Herbal Essences Herbally Ever After COMPETITION

Herbal Essences Herbally Ever After*, £3.79 each | Herbal Essences

In 2012 Herbal Essences celebrated its 40th birthday; considering the amount of brands that have come and gone within the last year in the cosmetics industry, that is huge achievement, so Happy 40th Birthday Herbal Essences; I hope middle age treats you well! :) In celebration, Herbal Essences launched the Limited Edition Herbally Ever After range; these are all the scents available from the range:

  • Hello Hydration: hawaiian coconut and orchid flower
  • Beautiful Ends: red raspberry and silk extracts
  • Ignite My Colour: moroccan rose and passion fruit extracts
  • Tousle Me Softly: wild violet and juicy pomegranate fragrance
  • Dazzling Shine: berry, tea and orange flower extracts
  • Seductively Straight: pink lily and asian silk
  • Smooth & Soft: mandarin and pearl extracts
  • Fresh Balance: pineapple and cotton extracts
  • Uplifting Volume: nectarine and pink coral flower
  • Herbally Ever After: royal jasmine and silky sea palm extracts
Herbal Essences Herbally Ever After COMPETITION

I had the chance to try the Herbally Ever After Shampoo and Conditioner*, which is available in this pretty limited edition lilac bottle with a festive floral design. They made my hair smell really good and I even got a ‘your hair smells so nice I want to eat it!’ comment from my hubby-to-be; charming! Texture-wise, Herbally Ever After left my hair feeling so soft to touch and didn’t weigh it down. An all-round winner to me, especially because it contain extracts from my favourite flower, jasmine!

I love the whole idea of the brand, packed full of organic ingredients that are good for your hair, no nasties and amazing smells. When I lived in Brazil, I remember my mum used to buy the Herbal Essences Hello Hydration shampoo, and me and my sister always tried to ‘steal’ a brand new bottle from mum’s bathroom to hide it in ours! Oh the fun we had… :)

Now for the competition, here are the prizes you can win:

  • 1st place: Cut & Blow Dry with Ben Cooke, Herbal’s celeb stylist, at Lockonego Salon (worth up to £195) in Central London.

    When I went on a holiday/vacation I always used to take Herbal Essence with me because if the weather was hot, cold, windy or whatever… Herbal Essences always used to rescue my hair from the weather conditions! It literally does make you say “Yes, Yes” like on the advert! Xx

    After I’d been at a festival for 3 days last summer, coming back to a power shower and the tropical luxury of Herbal Essences was the most sensational moment of cleanliness I’ve EVER had. Teh hot water ran out long before I’d have chosen to leave!

Not the pregnancy announcement I had in mind, but… we’re expecting baby number 3! ❤️🙏🏻 I’m 11 weeks pregnant today and this is probably the most fitting photo to describe my first trimester so far: hyperemesis gravidarum.

I was going to wait until I was feeling better, until I had a bump to show, until I could put some makeup on… but who knows when that will be? I’ve lost over 15lbs, been admitted to hospital twice on IV fluids for dehydration, spent my birthday (and weeks on end!) in bed and have been put on so many meds I’ve lost count.

Today, as I was leaving the hospital on new meds and after a bag of fluids - feeling like a human being for the first time in over a month - I decided that writing this post, although cathartic for me, may be just what another HG sufferer needs to read to make them feel a little bit less alone.

This is not the beautiful “surprise” pregnancy announcement we’re used to seeing, but for the 1-3% of women who suffer with HG, it may be the only one you can manage.

So, this is where I’ve been hiding. Baby is doing well, mama not so well. But I’m hanging in there and taking one day at a time!

Baby is due September 2021! ❤️

Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited childre Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited children and a puppy, ready some snow fun today! Might as well make the most of it, because this is probably all we’re going to get. Oh I do love snow! 😍❄️
“Anxiety is also feeling like you have no contro “Anxiety is also feeling like you have no control over your life and there’s a knot if your stomach. You feel like your world is crashing down around you and you’re expected to sit there and act like you’re fine.”

Yesterday was a right old day - I wasn’t myself. I needed silence to reset... but didn’t get it. So I carried on not sounding like myself, being curt, snappy, sometimes a bit hurtful.

Do you know when you just can’t snap out of it? You take a deep breath and promise you will react differently to a stressful situation, but a minute later you catch yourself spilling over before you even realise the pan was boiling.

I took some time to reflect in the evening and exposed everything that was causing me frustration, stress, anxiety and worry.  Guess what the common denominator was?

A feeling of not being in control.

I’ve always needed some sort of order and control to feel like myself and right now we’re positivity not in control of anything really, are we?

I’m glad I can recognise the triggers for my anxiety and today I made sure I established some form of control first thing in the morning to give my day the best chance to be a good one.

So I cleaned the house, I made sure the puppy had plenty of naps, I scheduled 1-2-1 time with both kids and that made me feel so much better.

I know I only tackled the consequences, not the causes of my anxiety and my need to feel in control, but that was enough for me today.

There’s - always - more work to be done, but accepting the small wins is part of it.

A whole week of you 🐶🤎 Here’s to more fun A whole week of you 🐶🤎 Here’s to more fun and laughter, more getting to know you and watching you run around the garden with the kids... and maybe a bit more sleep too?! ☺️✨

How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind right now? It’s so important to check in with ourselves instead of ignoring how we feel and burying our heads in housework, jobs, kids and life admin.

💫 What do I need?

That’s a good way to start. I’ll list a few things I need right now. They don’t all have to be grand things, sometimes I only need the smallest things.

1. I need to wash my hair.
2. I need silence.
3. I need to rearrange some rooms in the house (don’t know why I need this, but I really do).
4. I need to zero my inbox.
5. I need uninterrupted sleep.
6. I need a good hearty meal.
7. I need to exercise.
8. I need to smile.
9. I need to see my mum.
10. I need to put my needs first.

If I were to pick just one need right this second, I’d say number 2. I’m normally really sensitive to loud noises, but today... dear me! Even a slightly louder whisper was annoying me! 🙈
I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jeal I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jealous of this cosy situation! 😍 Oh Benji boy, you’re bringing us so much joy already! 🐶🤎
