I'm not one for reading my horoscopes in magazines and papers, however on the very rare occasion where I've found myself reading them, I have ended up confused and amazed.
However, can your Hair-O-Scope help you choose what hair style suits your personality and the outcome of your day. According to Madison Reed 'a do that's on point is often the difference between a good or a bad day', with this in mind I went to see what the stars had in store for me and my hair.

Madison Reed

Based in the USA, Madison Reed are revolutionising the method of colouring your hair at home. And while they are creating wonderful products, they have also been creating their own Hair-O-Scopes over on their blog.

Before I can start reading, I need to decide whether I'm a Taurus or an Aries, which is quite ironic in the sense that I am never easy to make up my mind. Always flitting between the two.
My birthday is the 20th April, not hinting or anything, and somehow sits in-between the two signs. Therefore, depending on which one holds the good news, I will believe in that one, to a certain extent anyway.

With this in mind, I visited the Madison Reed website and low and behold, by birthday was on both Taurus and Aries...

After much thought, I really am an Aries which is explained in full on their blog post;

Aries (March 21 - April 20)

It's no mistake that you're one of the fire signs, awe-inspiring Aries. Ruled by the planet of energy and the mythological god of war, you were born to be fierce. You shine in the spotlight, and everyone wants you in their team (they certainly don't want to be your opponent!).

Keep that energy positive by adding rich, vibrant tones to your luscious mane. They'll showcase the depth and dimension you have in spades. Or channel that prima donna ballerina discipline and pull it all back into a sleek side bun for days when nothing should get in your way.

I've noticed that when I want to get things done or challenging task is ahead, I will tie my hair back. Maybe I feel like it will help me get things done.

Once knowing that I should go for more rich and vibrant tones, I then headed over to their hair-dye advisor page.

Rather than flicking through their colour options, they have a fun small quiz asking you questions like what skin tone you are and whether you have treated your hair before.

After asking a few questions, they will give you their personal recommendations on what colour you should go for. One instantly caught my eye, especially with my up coming hair appointment.

While I've not used Madison Reed products, I found the process of looking for a hair colour  quite fun and user friendly. My attention span isn't great so for a website to ask me a few quick questions and have recommendations within seconds was great!

However, despite being surprised by the slight accuracy of the Hair-O-Scope, I think I'll stay away from horoscopes for the time being. Though do let me know what your thoughts are on my recent hair change. Also go ahead and check out your Hair-O-Scope! :)

Until next time

Right, this is a post I thought I would never write at all, let alone to say I'm visiting a certain holiday hot spot.

If you follow me on Twitter, you would of probably read that.. 

I'm off to Ibiza!

Yes, that's right. Little me, the one that hates crowds, doesn't drink because my mind goes into over drive into possible scenarios, is off to THE partying place in the world, in less than a month!

If you are thinking, 'oh, she probably won't go' 

Think again,  flights and hotel are booked. No turning back now!

Once I clicked confirm the other night, hundreds of feelings rushed through me. From excitement, the sick nervous feeling and eventually the 'What the hell have I done!" 

But you know what, this is a huge HUGE deal for me and a great big achievement. I may come home having the worst experience, but I won't care.. I've done something I thought I would never do. 

I really should thank my best friend C, who is coming with me. She know's how I 'work' and has promised that we won't go partying every night. This is also my first holiday in 6 years, so I will want to relax also :)

So, what I need right now is your tips. Have you been to Ibiza or maybe a country that is known for partying? Do you have any good tips I need to know, or places I need to visit?

Leave your comments below :)

See you around,

I'm not one to spend my money on myself, even my mum comments that the moths are flying out of my purse. However, I just could not resist the urge when I came across a picture on Nails Inc's Instagram page.

If you open up my drawer in my room, avert your eyes from the thousands of hair grips, rubber colourful bands that were so cool to collect in my teenage years and have yet to throw away, you will come across my nail varnish collection. 

A mix from Barry M to Boots, Fearne Collection, there is one brand that takes up the majority, Nails Inc.

However, if there is one thing that is a re-occuring factor between them all, it's the dark colours consisting of red, black, and the occasional blue.

While at work I had a quick flick through my Instagram feed, don't be so shocked, we've all done it.. admit it. I was about to lock my phone, when a photo came up from Nails Inc about a sale they had online.

Brilliant I thought, 7 pastel colours for the price of, well, not even 2 colours. The normal retail price of a Nails Inc colour is £11 each, therefore this should of cost me £77 plus delivery. 

Could you believe my shock when the varnishes cost only £18 plus delivery. I didn't want to be greedy on this bargain, so shared the image straight away on Instagram, just hope you guys saw it.

Have you come across any bargains recently? I'm yet to try these colours out but it brings a dash of colour to my dark selection.
