Easy Tasty Baked Tapenade Chicken

Hello there girlies,

I have been neglecting this space a little too much recently... Whoopsies ! But now that I am on holidays I'm going to be able to post so much more and maybe include a video or two :) Today I bring you this little dish that I made the other day when my mom wasn't in and that I had to cook. It is pretty much the easiest thing to do. Trust me !

These are the two main ingredients you are going to need : Boneless Chicken Breasts and Green Olive 

Tapenade.

You are going to want to slit the chicken three times as you can see above. 

Put it in a baking dish and cover the chicken with tapenade (the more the yummier). Then add some white wine, oil, cloves and slices of tomatoes and there you have it. Some yummy dinner done in seconds! If I remember well I left it to cook for 25-30 mins in the oven. 

Dinner made in minutes and perfect for when you don't have time to do anything too complicated. 

Hope you like it,

Oily Hair Problems

Hey girlies,

Are you suffering from thin, fragile hair that has the tendency to drop ? I may have found the solution for this. I suffer from oily hair which makes my hair weak therefore I suffer from hair loss. Not major hair loss or anything but my hair does drop and I don't exactly like that !

The first thing that came to mind when I first felt like my hair was weaker was I need to change my diet and take vitamins. It is important to have a healthy diet if you want healthy hair (same thing goes for your skin). You can also take vitamins like Imedeen hair & nails which is £23.49 for 60 tablets at Boots. It is a little steep but this really will help if you suffer from severe hair loss as there is a lot of biotin in these tablets. I thought I needed more of an overall vitamin which is why I went for the Wellwoman tricologic woman. It's loaded with all kinds of vitamins and of course biotin.

Once you have dealt with the diet part you just might have to change what you put on your hair. Starting with the shampoo you use.

I use Neutrogena's T Gel Shampoo for Greasy hair. What is important in the shampoo you use is that it needs to have the least chemicals possible! You will feel it when you use the shampoo because it won't foam as much as any shampoo. Aussie Shampoos are also good because they are low in chemicals and high in natural ingredients. For my conditioner I like Le Petit Marseillais range which resembles to Aussie except that you can only find it in France. These shampoos are so gentle you can use them everyday without worrying it will damage your hair. 

So there you have it. I hope this helped anyone with oily hair ! 

If you have any other recommendations feel free to leave them in the comments below :)

The Sunday Post #03

Hello girlies,

Finally I am on a break ! School is over... for two weeks. I know it's not much but I just needed it.

001. We had a rather relaxing week at school with the teachers going on strike and no tests. Pure bliss. The teachers have given us heaps and heaps of homework to do during the break though! Which is not good news. Ha. 

002. I finalized my Christmas presents on Wednesday. I actually had my own money to spend on people this year and it felt so good. I used to love receiving presents but I think I love giving just as much :) 

003. Christmas dinner at Carla's was amaze balls. Foie Gras and Sushi were involved. I know they don't go together but it was SO yummy. 

004. OMFGSWDIHWID Augustine gave me another Essie Nail Polish for Christmas and Astrid got me nail polishes from Topshop. Yeah, people know me as the nail polish addict. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU girlies. ( I know you'll be reading this Gus :p ) 

005. Got a new Comptoir des Cotonniers coat on Saturday! Will feature it in a post sometime soon :) 

006. It's my sister's birthday today so we went to Tsunami (Japanese restaurant you need to check out) and now we are going to cut her cake. Yum.

On that note, I am going to leave you because it's cutting-the-cake time :) Have a lovely Sunday evening. I think i'm going to watch a bit of telly tonight ! I never do... 

Ciao bambinas,

What I Wore Saturday #03

Hey girlies,

Sorry for being a little late on this post ! I took the pictures late last night and obviously I forgot to take a picture of my shoes. How intelligent ! Anyway, I wore a pretty simple outfit yesterday. A comfy laid-back outfit. Just what I love.

Blazer - Topshop 

T-Shirt - River Island 

Leggings - H&M 

I paired this outfit with gray studded boots from Nine West. Now I regret not having taken a picture with the shoes on... Promise next week I will have a picture of my whole outfit. Wait a second, next week is CHRISTMAS ! Wooooop :) 

Till then ,

Nutrasome Thickening Shampoo And Serum by Revlon

Hey girlies,

I have been suffering from hair loss recently... Not sure what it is, if it's because I have a very oily scalp or because I have thin hair or if i'm stressed out ! But I was determined to find a solution to my problem and fast ! So off I went to my local Boots to purchase this Nutrasome thickening shampoo and serum. Beforehand, I had read a few reviews which convinced me to buy this.

Claims: The unique formulation in Nutrasome Thickening Shampoo contains TriOxyl Complex which glides through the hair without damaging hair strands. It is designed to penetrate down to the root of each hair strand, increasing its flexible strength and works on the outside to help hair feel thicker, look thicker and be thicker. 

This sounds like an amazing product, don't you think ? I mean if you saw this product in-stores and just read the description and the claims you would fall for it. Just like I did. I should have known this was just some rubbish talk! The Shampoo and the Serum worked pretty well during the first week. My hair had a lot more volume and it wasn't dropping as much which really reassured me. As I came into my second week of using this product, I felt my hair wasn't as strong as it was in the last few days... Imagine how annoyed I was. So what can I say about this product ? It works but only for a week. Definitely not what you can call a "good" product. So although the description was well written this is definitely not something I could recommend for someone suffering from hair loss. 

But thank god I found a whole new hair routine with great products and I will do a whole other post on that so keep your eyes peeled ;)
