If you've ever read any of my hair posts, you will know, I am loyal to one hairdresser, and one hairdresser only. Paige Bloss (check out her Instagram).

I was delighted when Paige said she'd like to collaborate with me and a couple of other bloggers (Chynna and Emma!) on a blow dry pamper night. So one rainy January evening, we all piled into my car, and I drove us to Legally Blonde in Salisbury, which is where Paige is based.

We arrived absolutely drenched. As ever, Paige was welcoming, took our rain sodden scarves and coats and handed us a glass of prosecco. Annnnd, time to relax and chill. Emma and I sat down for a good chat, whilst Chynna got her hair washed and blow dried. We also devoured some mini cupcakes which were delicious!


Next up, it was Emma's turn in the chair, so Chynna and I had a good chinwag too (common theme: I love to talk). Everyone's hair was turning out gorgeous, so I decided to take my before shot (don't laugh at my Trunch look)...


Then, it was my turn! We headed over to the basins where Paige washed my hair, massaged my scalp and used products which would maintain my grey toned blonde hair (hellooo purple shampoo!). Paige then dried my hair and styled it straight (I prefer having straight hair!). She left my hair silky, smooth and beautiful. Is it just me, or is it near impossible to recreate a hairdressers finish?!


One thing that always strikes me about Paige, is that she always knows what products are best for your hair type, and whether certain hair colours/ styles will suit you. She's also always professional, but so easy to just chat away to. It's not like going to a hair salon, it's like going to see a friend!

I've been going to Paige for my hair since I was 19 (nearly 8 years...!), and honestly, I do think she works wonders to my hair. She's been there through the extensions phase, through the me not wanting to cut my hair phase, the me wanting to sack off blonde and go brunette phase, the fringe phase, the wanting a fringe again but swiftly talking me out of it phase (I owe you for that one Paige!).


If you're ever in Salisbury and or based in Salisbury, I cannot recommend Paige enough. If you'd like to visit Paige at the Legally Blonde salon, used code HAIRGOALS10 to get £10 off any service with Paige. Go on, treat yourself! You know you want to!

Thanks so much for having us Paige!

With Valentine’s Day coming up, I’ve teamed up with Mermaid Gin to bring you a full review and giveaway of a bottle of their finest pink gin!
Before we start my review, I am by no means, a gin connoisseur. I have only recently started getting on the gin hype, but slowly but surely I'm finding my gin feet. I am one of *those* who realised it's actually the tonic that I don't like, with lemonade, I love a gin! I do realise for those who are gin purists, my act of mixing it with lemonade is satanical but there we go.

Back to Mermaid Gin! The Mermaid Pink Gin, is a strawberry infused gin with lemon zest, grains of paradise and rock samphire (otherwise known as Mermaid’s Kiss!). There's no added sugar either! The gin itself is distilled locally (to me) on the Isle of Wight, so it truly is a quintessentially British product. I think it's also important to note that the gin is fully Vegan and gluten free!

Not only is Mermaid Pink Gin a fabulous gin, but the bottle itself is plastic-free and 100% recyclable. The distillery has worked hard to eliminate plastic and bubble wrap, plus plastic sealing tap from its production processes. A great gin, with less harm to our land and oceans which has got to be a good thing, right?

I have to say... of all the pink gins that I have tried, I think Mermaid Pink Gin my favourite so far! It's really refreshing and also really subtle. It's not like, BAM, in your face, I am a gin. I chose to mix it with frozen fruit (my top tip to avoid using ice cubes and avoid watering down your gin!) and lemonade and it honestly just gave me all of the summery feels.

I'd definitely recommend it, for the taste! It has a slightly bigger price tag than your average bottle of Gordon's, coming in a £40, however, I do think it's worth it! You can buy your own bottle at Marks and Spencers. Orrrrr, why not pop over to my Instagram where I'm holding a giveaway to win your very own 70cl bottle of Mermaid Pink Gin? Just click here.
