Time for a Banging Change?!

For years I've been toying with the idea of changing up my hair. I've tried some colour changes and the occasional (slightly) shorter or layered cut, but nothing too drastic. My hair has been pretty much the same since I was about 14… Now maybe it's the new year, the pregnancy hormones, or the fact that I'm just bored with my look, but I feel like a change!

When it comes to doing my hair, I'm kinda lazy. That's probably why I'm so comfortable with my current cut - I just let it air dry and how I get up in the morning is how my hair will stay for the rest of the day. It's always okay, but doesn't really do much either.

So, I've been looking around for some inspiration and I really love the look of bangs!! I feel they give just that little bit of edge to your look.

There are a couple of things that scare me a little though. First of all, you can't really half-bang it; If you're going to cut bangs, you have to go all the way and cut a good chunk of hair. Also, you can't really hide your bangs, once you've cut them they're there, whether you like them or not. Cutting bangs means I have to start styling my hair on a daily basis… I'm not too great at styling my hair, so what if I'm stuck with a haircut I can't style?! And last, bangs definitely don't look great on everyone!!

Give your dry winter skin some extra love with this wonderful scrub. It will help you get rid of rough and dry hands instantly and will leave your body feeling softer than ever. To make this scrub, simply mix the following ingredients.

• The coffee improves blood circulation and helps with the appearance of cellulite
• The brown sugar is the exfoliant of this scrub, using fine brown sugar instead of white sugar will make the scrub less harsh
• The sesame oil reduces inflammation and repairs damaged skin cells

Use 2-3 times a week to get super soft skin and to battle cellulite, razor bumps, and ingrown hairs. Use the scrub in the shower before you use your body wash.
