New Year, New Hair

I've become so fed up with my hair it's gone beyond a joke. The texture, the length, the thickness, just everything about it I am not happy with which is why I've decided it's going to be the next thing I work on about my appearance.

To sort out the length it's pretty simple, I just put in some clip in extensions. Granted, clip in extensions can be extremely annoying, having to take them out and clip then in all the time but it's the cheapest way to give length & causes less damage to my already thin and knackered hair.

Now I've known about Argon Oil for a long long time now but never actually thought to use it. In the past I've used products on my hair without knowing too much about them and they ultimately resulted in my hair becoming greasy extremely quick and didn't do much else.

I was out shopping the other day and when I was at the till I got a free sample of Argon Oil and a voucher to be redeemed off of a full bottle. Now normally, I would keep the free sample and never use it but this year I've decided to stop hoarding all these little things so I put it to use, I washed my hair and whacked on some Argon Oil before I went to bed. When I woke up I did my hair as usual and I could already see a difference. I was absolutely astonished by how much softer my hair had already become.

So I did what any sensible person would do, the next day I went back to the shop and used my voucher and bought a full size bottle & I can honestly say right now, it's the best purchase I've made all year.

The softness of my hair is incredible, my hair doesn't look or feel greasy from leaving in product and it has changed the texture of the ends of my hair. I've also put some on my clip in extensions too and they look brand new, they're also incredibly soft and looking 10x healthier.

New Year - New Goals

I've seen a lot of people already asking why do people only start to change at the beginning of the year but I think the reasons why we do it are understandable. You may not realise it but we do actually do a lot of measuring time in years. When you think back to a date you went on holiday or the date of your favourite birthday party you state the year the even occurred. Some years are good for people and some years are bad but that's good because you can look back on a whole year and remember the good things that happened in it because you enjoyed it.

2014 for me wasn't the greatest of years, there was many ups and downs and I didn't really have anything that particularly stood out as amazing for me. It's crazy how every day seems the same as we go through it but one year later everything is different!

So this year I've created a list of goals I want to achieve, I've split it into two different lists; things I want to do more of and things I want to do less of.

More:

Photos - The main reason I use Facebook is just for photos of me and my friends and last year there was barely any.. photo's can capture and allow you to relive memories and I want to do that this year!

Nights Out - The best night's are always the spontaneous ones.

Seeing Friends - With my friends living up and down the country it makes it hard to see them all so when we have the opportunity to meet up I'm not going to let it slide. Friends are the best for taking your mind of the rubbish things going on in life, we all need them so I've made a promise to myself to be a better friend to everybody else.

Travelling - 

New Foods - I am the type of person that if I like a food in a restaurant, when I revisit it, I will order the same food again. I'm not very adventurous with foods and I always ask myself why? There's no harm in tasting something.

Less

Tears - As a child I would cry near enough every day, then I got to a stage where I would never cry. I'm turning back into the child I once was and I don't like it... there's no need to cry over petty things.

Hangovers - I can't handle them anymore. It's always one drink that tips me over the edge and causes me to lose a whole day.

Fast-foods - As a child fast-food was always a treat, it would be very rare that we would get a McDonald's or KFC but now there so easily accessible that I just pop in for an easy option of food.

Phone - There is no need to be looking at my phone 24/7. There's a whole world out there and you never know what you will miss by looking down at your phone when you could be out meeting new people and socialising.

My last and most important goal for the year 2015 is to Learn To Drive. I have been putting off since 2012 now and for no reason what so ever. I need to stop being lazy and get myself booked in to start all my tests!

I always think goals for a new year are a great idea as it gives the year a meaning and something to work towards.. I certainly think that some things on my list many others should also take on board.

Happy New Year Everybody!
