Best Haircare- Molton Brown Shining Starbloom

Friday, June 26th, 2009

molton-browmIn my quest for natural looking waves, I have finally found a product that softens & adds movement without clogging my hair up with gunk or grease! Molton Brown’s Shining Starbloom is a conditioning & detangling spray with added sunscreen, which will protect your hair from the drying & colour fading effects of the sun. Simply spray it on to the ends of your hair straight after a shower (I don’t use a conditioner when using this), then let it dry naturally in the sun for gentle waves, or plait & leave to dry for more defined movement. Brilliant for holidays & detangling sandy haired small boys & girls!

Price: £19

Best Venues- The Walled Garden at Cowdray

Friday, June 26th, 2009

cowdrayIf you are looking for a historically intriguing & ridiculously romantic venue for a summer wedding, then you will love the Walled Garden at Cowdray, West Sussex. I last visited on a sunny day at the beginning of June just as the roses were starting to unfurl their heavenly scents onto unsuspecting passers by. The derelict castle ruin & polo grounds are situated next to the Tudor walled garden, giving the place an air of glamour & making this the perfect place for you & your guests to sink bucketloads of chilled Champagne & Pimms. As well as holding a licence for Civil Ceremonies, the adjoining courtyard & castle rooms offer an intimate atmosphere for dining & dancing, and if you fancy making a grand entrance, you can even utilise the adjacent helicoptor pad.
