Are you looking for the best shampoos for curly hair? If so, then here are the 12 best shampoos for curly hair that you could definitely use!

12. Frederic Fekkai Luscious Curls Shampoo and Conditioner

Price: $23.00 at macys.com
I have searched for awhile for a great shampoo that made my curls really stand out. I looked through many of the best shampoos for curly hair when I came across this shampoo and conditioner. This shampoo enhances the natural texture of curly hair and it may just all women put those flat irons down for good!

11. DAVINES – Love Lovely Curl Encancing Shampoo

DAVINES - Love Lovely Curl Enchancing Shampoo
Price: $47.00 at us.strawberrynet.com
This shampoo has been made particularly for those who have curly hair. It will increase the volume, which is great for fine hair. I also like how it has a conditioning action that  smoothens the hair. It also contains olive oil, which does wonders for your hair. For shiny, moisturized curly locks, I highly recommend this!

10. Garnier Fructis Haircare Fortifying Shampoo, Sleek & Shine

Garnier Fructis Haircare Fortifying Shampoo, Sleek & Shine
Price: $3.99 at drugstore.com
If you have unmanageable curls, then this is a great shampoo AND it is at a great price! It will make your hair really shiny. It even chased away those frizzies that I had in my hair. This shampoo, including the price, truly is amazing. I have to admit, I did not think it would do as good as it did.

Has your sex life gone a bit stale? Do you want to spice it up a bit? A close friend of mine confessed to be very bored of hers at a girl’s night in recently, and I was shocked at how few suggestions we could come up with to spice it up. So with that in mind, I've been researching the top 7 ways, and here they are…

1. Treasure Chest

Make a “pleasure chest,” full of condoms, sexy lingerie, your favourite flavour of jam, a blindfold, handcuffs… anything that might get you in the mood. Then hide it under the bed, and pull out random things. Challenge yourself to think of a sexy way to utlilise it, and you'll be surprised at how much fun you have!

2. Random Oral

While you do an everyday activity, such as getting changed after work, give him random oral. He'll be shocked but thrilled and it's an excellent and easy way to inject some spice back into your sex life! Plus, you can spend the next few days wondering when he will repay the favour!

3. Body Massage

Grab some massage oil and plan a night. He'll go mad at the feel of your skin all over him, but to make it more fun, forbid him to touch you until you are finished and then try your best to drive him wild… use different body parts to massage his skin, and you'll have great fun! This tactic has worked for everyone I've suggested it to so far, so make it top of your list.

I've been a member of my local library since I was old enough to pick up a book. In fact, whenever I move house, the first thing I do is to zip off to the nearest branch and grab a ticket. Do you think libraries are boring? Wrong! Here are some great reasons to hang out at the library.

1. You can flop down in a comfortable armchair and flick through the papers.

There is usually a wide range of magazine titles as well, maybe not quite what you'd usually read, but why not try something new!

2. The libraries in my town often have evening events.

Films, dance, theater, talks … and all free!

3. You can have peace and quiet.

Although libraries may not be the haven of tranquility they once were, they're still a great place to relax in and get away from the demands of work and home.

I love retro clothes. Not only do they add a stylish twist to any outfit, but the styles are often so different than what I'm used too… it's great for mixing in something a little different into a stylish look. I haven't bought anything retro-themed recently, though, so I've been looking to update my wardrobe for Summer. Here are my favourite 10 items that are perfect for giving Summer a retro twist!

1. Persol Retro Frame Sunglasses

Persol Retro Frame Sunglasses
Price: $321 at asos.com
There is something about animal print sunglasses that remind me of high glamour and style, and these chunky frames are perfect for stealing the look! The tinted lenses offer 100% UV protection, and they are super comfortable, too. Perfect for adding an easy retro twist to any outfit!

2. Eucalyptus 70's Retro Style Tiered Maxi Dress

Eucalyptus 70's Retro Style Tiered Maxi Dress
Price: $59 at asos.com
This gorgeous maxi dress is right on trend, and the tiered styling is so flattering! I'm quite short, so this style dress is usually out for me, but this one made me look tall and thin. Amazing! It's the print that I love the most, though, with the pastel colours being perfect for warm Summer days and the retro print really finishes the look… utterly divine.

3. American Retro Stud Gilet

American Retro Stud Gilet
Price: $71 at asos.com
From the flattering sleeveless shape to the oversized studs and neutral grey colour, this gilet is the perfect finishing touch for any outfit. It has a very retro-rock feel, and looks stunning even just teamed with jeans… it looks amazing over a black mini! It's half cotton and half linen, too, meaning it's warm and soft. I love it!

Weddings are a day of love, beauty, memories, and oh yes stress. You try to remember to eat, smile for the camera, say your vows without crying, make sure to chat with all your guests, and warn everyone about crazy aunt Sally! It’s a wonderful day but a crazy one too. So among all this try to remember to have fun and take fun photos. Be silly, laugh a big laugh, twirl on the dance floor, and take 7 fun shots like these ones!

7. Eat, Drink, and Be Merry…

This bride definitely knows how to relax and not get too stressed out on her big day. A little drink doesn’t hurt to calm those nerves and maybe help to keep your hands from shaking. You don’t want to be a drunk bride and slur your vows, especially if you have a videographer! But take a fun photo like this one when your taking a sip from your flask or drinking a shot with all your girls. On our big day I was a little stressed out so during dinner when I was asked what I wanted to drink I said, “A Green Apple Martini Please!”, and it really helped me keep my head on and have a great time. What are some ways you stayed relaxed during your hectic wedding day?

6. Unexpected Places…

Make your wedding day an adventure as you take photos in unexpected places like this bride and groom did on a subway escalator. Explore the neighborhood of your venue the week before to get fun photo ideas. Is there a subway or a bus stop nearby, what about a playground where you and your new husband can swing on the monkey bars? At our venue there was an old barn that was no longer being used that had a giant wagon wheel outside. I really wanted to get some fun shots so I put my leg up on the wheel, gave my best cowgirl pose and smiled for the camera! Share with us your fun wedding photo stories!

5. Photobooth Fun…

Photobooth rentals are a big trend right now for weddings and parties. They are a great idea for a fun guestbook instead of having everyone just sign their name. Grab some props from the party store like the mustaches the bride and groom are using in this photo along with hats, big sun glasses, picture frames, and mini chalk boards to make your wedding a day for all your guests to remember.  For our guestbook we used the Adesso Album with our instant polaroid camera, the guests loved it and had fun with it during the cocktail hour! What fun ideas do you have planned for your big day?

4. Take a Ride…

Do you like to skateboard like this couple or maybe you have a scooter you would like to take a ride on? This is your big day and just because you’re all dressed up doesn’t mean you can’t be silly! You have all your friends and family members with you, a photographer, and a videographer; you’ll want to make some memories that you can  keep looking back on year after year on your anniversary. Don’t let a moment pass by and don’t look back thinking you could have done more or had more fun. Put on your roller skates, take a ride on your bike, or his harley, show off and be in love! Do you have a skateboard or a bike to ride on your special day?


3. Dare to be Different…

Your wedding day is all about what you want, whether it’s ice skating during your vows like this couple, or getting married with Mickey and Minnie in Walt Disney World. Every couple has their own image of what their day will be like and it doesn’t have to be traditional in any way. You make the trend and you set the tone. This couple is having fun as they get married on the ice. They will always look back on this day and smile because they did what they wanted to. They are happy and in love, what more could you ask for? Are you having a fun non-traditional wedding ceremony?


2. Dance like no one is watching…

Many couples worry about the first dance because everyone is watching them. You want to look like you know how to dance and you want it to be perfect. It can be stressful knowing that 100 of your close friends and family members are going to be looking at your every move on the dance floor. So don’t let it be stressful and dance like this couple who is waving their hands, jumping in the air and having a worry free moment! You can always plan to do something different if you’re really worried about the first dance.  Ask your bridal party and your parents to join you on stage for a fast, upbeat song and show everyone what a good time this is going to be! What song will you dance to for your first dance?

1. Bridal Party Fun…

Don’t forget to include your bridal party in all the funny photos and all the fun moments. Remember that this day may be a little stressful for them as well.  I really love this bridal party photo with all the goofy faces, they all made sure this was going to be a fun day! Leave all the worrying behind because photos like this one show you what this day is really all about. You can be yourself, you can make fun of yourself if you sneezed as you said I do, and you can make it your day surrounded by the people who will make it a great day. For one of our bridal party photos all the guys put on their sunglasses to take a cool GQ shot, which made all us girls wish we had sunglasses too!
What fun things will you do on your wedding day?

1. Naughty Nautical

You can go for the usual blue stripes bikini or you can rock this pair. You have ruffles a-plenty and two buttons to give off a totally sweet but sexy look.

2. Classy One-Piece

The first look is undeniably sexy. It screams Park Avenue mom, doesn’t it? Check out the link for a more colorful look for beach and/or pool mommies this season.

3. Vintage-Inspired Vixen

This mono-kini may look modern but it actually is vintage-inspired. Inspiration were 50’s designs but given a modern twist. HOT.

4. Floral Beach Princess

The first one-piece swimwear in this list is totally gorgeous. Here are things to love about it: the print, the ruffled details, the gold string, the interesting front design.

5. Pin-Up Fabulous

Well, there really is no other adjective to use if you do go to the beach wearing the polka dot beauty or the black bikini. If you have been looking for retro swimwear with a pin-up twist, check out this link.

Now that the Summer is here, it's time to start investing in the super cute dresses that will get you through the season looking cute, sexy and stylish! I love dresses… the right ones make you look great, and simply need some heels and a few accessories, and you look good to go. Which gives you much more time for having fun and getting a tan! My boyfriend’s friends are always criticizing dresses, though, so I took a big group of men through the shops to find out which styles they love, and here they are, the 10 dresses that men love!

1. TFNC Pleat Front Floral Bandeau Dress

The centre ruching gives you an enviable stomach, its length makes your legs look super long and all you need to add is some cute heels and you’re ready to go. It's no wonder that the men loved this dress, I love it too!

2. Lipsy Loves Pixie Lott Belted Denim Shirt

This dress was super popular, with the men agreeing that it's the perfect mix of casual, laid back style and full on sexiness. The white washed denim looks great for Summer, and if you need to dress it up, just add a black belt, heels, and glittery eyeliner. Gorgeous!

3. Iska Lace Babydoll Dress

This Iska dress is divine. It's light enough to wear on even the hottest Summer days, it has the cutest neckline and pleated bust, and the floral patterened lace is the perfect finishing touch to a dress that perfectly combines sexiness and girliness, and is great for effortless chic. It's even available in black!
