Product Reveiw- CoLab Active

 

Product Review: CoLab Active

Whatever happens in life us women and some men will always find time to make sure our hair is perfect. I remember a time when I used to have to squeeze in a hair wash even  if my time in shower couldn't be long, due to you know life being hectic, but I couldn't have greasy hair so I would make time! This being the case I bet you were all as relieved and excited when dry shampoo was invented!

These days there are loads of different brands from supermarket own to actual branded and loads of different types, safe to say I've tried and tested most, some have impressed more than others, infact I have wrote a review on another before you may or may not remember. Needless to say I had wrote that review long before I had tested this brand that I can tell you now I'm going to praise to high heaven.

I was going a long a bit of a dry shampoo surfer, never had a regular one, always chopping and changing, this was until Katie introduced me to CoLab. It opened my eyes to a new range of better dry shampoos! I also had fun smelling all their different ones which are named after  different cities, London being my personal favourite and my regular, yep that's right this dry shampoo surfer had settled. I was well and truly excited when they brought out their new one Active.

I was eager to try and purchased as soon as I could. To be honest I knew before I tried it, it was going to be good if their other dry shampoos were anything to go by. As soon as needed I reached for the can of dry shampoo and used it. I was amazed. It does exactly what it says on the tin. It is most defiantly invisible, this shocked me the most if I'm honest. Usually when dry shampoos say it they are not always completely invisible, but this one is, no white marks in sight which means a mirror is not necessary when applying. Go are the days of rubbing your hair like your insane to get rid of the white marks (which seemed like a bloody workout)! Conditioning, that's another thing it says it does, this couldn't be more true, after applying the hair looks a lot more fresh & feels better too, that's something I find unique to this dry shampoo. With a lot of others they make it so your hair is good to look at but at touch it don't feel that great, with this one you seriously wouldn't think I had any on. This lasts all day too, though I do like to top up but that's just personal! Lastly, the shine it leaves my hair with is beautiful, it looks like its not long been washed which is I guess what you want your dry shampoo to do. Retailing at about £3.99 in Superdrug it is well worth the money and you certainly get  what you pay for. Oh and by the way it smells gorg!

Whether your busy at work, with children or just life in general we could all use a little dry shampoo in our lives. Even if you think you don't...you do. There is simply no point in trying hundreds of different dry shampoos, get yourself down to Superdrug and pick up this quality dry shampoo. But be warned once you go CoLab you don't go back ;)

Until next time

The Weekend - A Special Time

Our Lovely readers

I'm not going to lie I do like the weekend, I do look forward too it. Don't get me wrong I love the weeks with my girls but, there is just something about the weekend when Toms home and we are all together.

I suppose some of  it is relief, it gets tiring during the week, running around after two littlens all day, that's to be expected. I know when Toms home I can share the load....sometimes. There is nothing more aggravating than when I ask  him to do something like change a nappy or make a bottle and he says 'cant you do it'.... I'm sorry what?? I have been doing this all week, I have changed more pooey nappies than I have had hot dinners, I could of bathed in the amount sick that has been produced, I've nearly broke my ankle about 50 times on about 50 different types of toys, I've made so much food I could have fed the army and about 6 world wars have broke out between me and a 4 year old..(this is all in one week) and you want me to change yet another dirty nappy and make another bottle. By this time I have practically turned green like the hulk. So I tell him no I can't 'do it' this is your time daddy boy, your time to be mummy. I would like to tell you this works. But it don't. With all my annoyance I end up caving.. I really need to work on that haha. But no he is really good, he only says that about once a weekend. Other than that I am really lucky and on the weekends I do get a rest. He cooks, amuses the children and does a few nappies and bottles. This weekend I have been really fortunate in him cleaning too!

I also overly enjoy the weekends for family time...this is the main reason for my excitement. We love to do things as a family on the weekends, nothing expensive just quality time. This would be anything from activities at home, to going to the park, to play centres, to picnics or even going to see grandparents. I think family time is very important it keeps you connected and as a unit. I enjoy seeing the girls spend time with daddy, the smile on their faces melts my heart and to be honest nothing will beat that feeling.

To some the weekend is just the weekend. But to me, to us its so much more. Its memories, its my girls childhood, its the only two days a week both parents  are together with them. Its the only two nights, me and Tom can stay up a bit later and spend some quality time together.

All in all my personal definition  of the weekend is - The time of the week for relaxation, family madness, and happy days with a special sprinkling of bonding and memory creating.

I know some of you may find this post boring or irrelevant, but I felt I needed to share what the weekend means to me, so often we go 'thank god its the weekend' but why? Why do we think that? what does the weekend mean to you?
