LUSH solid shampoos

the product
LUSH's shampoo bars are hockey-puck shaped. they're quite dense, and not crumbly. they also lather up beautifully!
the best thing about solid shampoos is how long they last. while you can use a bottle in about a month (two, tops), one puck can last double that time. it's also less packaging: all you need is a tin to keep it dry between washes.
the only drawback is that you cannot have it near water while not using it. otherwise, it'll become a sticky, fizzy mess!
how to use?
after getting your hair wet, in the shower, you rub it on your hands (like you would a soap bar). then, you rub the puck on your hair. three-four strokes (top, bottom, and sides) are more than enough. lather, then rinse.
it's that easy!

and now, here are my experiences with four solid shampoos ...

Cath Kidston-inspired Nail Art

hello all, and welcome to the blog! here's some nail art for my first post!

I love Cath Kidston prints! but the design on my nails, I came up with at random with the crèmes I had at hand.
it was all done free-hand, and it's the first time I've tried this. not bad for a first try, eh?
