John Masters Organic Shampoo & Conditioner Review " Evening Primrose Shampoo " & "Honey & Hibiscus Conditioner"


I just have to tell you about the John Masters Shampoo and condition I was given (teeny) samples of the other day whilst away and visiting a health spa and shop! OH MY, I was quite excited to try them, and I have no word to explain how good they are,  fantabulous comes close . They called : Evening Primrose Shampoo & Honey & Hibiscus Conditioner (- I'm a vegan who believes in using honey, personal choice. )

The samples were small, as my hair is very very long, but they still worked well. I would have liked to try them for longer though, over a week etc to see how my hair changes. 

The Pro's to the John Masters shampoo and conditioners are that they're organic (!!!) , made my hair feel great, it was manageable when I had gotten out of the shower - something that is always a test for me as my hair can be very tangly and knotty. They both also smell GREAT ! The shampoo made my hair full of bounce at the roots, and the conditioner made it easy to dry. It felt nice for a few days too, until I rewashed it. 

The Con's are, that the shampoo is very very runny, which I didn't expect and I initally found it hard to apply, I think if I used it for longer I would totally get used to this though. 

( That's the only negative thing I can think of! )


I would definitely recommend this, it's a great product and I just had to share this with you!

( I've not been paid to recommend this, all thoughts are as always my own, and if I love a product I just have to share it! Enjoy! )

Inecto Vegan Pure Coconut Moisture Infusing Shampoo & Conditioner Review.


I've been hunting around for some toiletries that are reasonably priced, paraben free, vegan,  and that suit my lifestyle . 

I saw the Inecto Pure Coconut Shampoo & Conditioner online at VeganStore.co.uk and decided to give them a try . The first thing I thought was these are huge for £1.99 - 500ml is big for a shampoo / conditioner bottle . The smell then hit me , oh yes! Like being on holiday either with coconut sunblock on or sipping Malibu , either way it's a nice smell . 


The shampoo is ok,  - it lathers up producing so much that you don't need a massive amount , and it makes your hair full of volume and your locks  look super clean when dry . A really great shampoo ! 

The conditioner is not my favourite , and  if you leave it on too long ( like I did , it kind of makes your hair feel odd - think Barbie hair, and tangles easily !) 

So just leave it on for 3 mins and you'll be fine . Again , it smells amazing , and rinses out well not leaving your hair lank or dull . 


I use a lot on my hair as I like to condition it all over as I'm trying to repair damage that was done a few years ago . 

When it's dry coat the bottom of your hair with coconut oil , my favourite brand is the Nutiva one at the moment as they do huge giant sized tubs that are the same size as my head ! 


Here's to having lovely locks that rapunzel would be proud of ! See what you think of it, I know it's had rave reviews!


I was not asked , paid, sent anything for this review - I like sharing my favourite products with you !

The Coconut Oil Miracle by Bruce Fife - book review .



( no I'm not married yet ! The silver band is my keeper ring until I can get my ring down sized 5 sizes - raw foods weight loss!!) 

I've been reading this book ; The Coconut Oil Miracle by Bruce Fife . It is amazing !! Yes coconut oil is very high in calories, but I don't believe in calories anyway , coconut oil is so nutritional the calorie aspect doesn't matter )

It covers every aspect from skin ,medic  problems and how to cure them, hair treatments ,  curing Crohn's disease, uses for breastfeeding moms, cooking , recipes, curing athletes foot, why its used in medicines, the scientific molecular breakdowns etc . 

It's a fabulous book and I am so glad I bought it ! 

The other day I was unloading our Goodness Direct order and realised how much coconut stuff I actually buy ... I've always been a coconut fan , but it's more like a healthy addiction now ! 


I personally use coconut oil 7-12 times a day for eating , moisturising , make up removal , skin repairing , baking , chocolate making , the list is endless !

I've recently become a fan of coconut butter too , it's made differently , has a less sweet taste and is more commonly used in desserts etc . I'm still learning about the butter , but it's good ! 

What I love about Bruce's book is how he talks openly about medics / scientists thinking coconut oil was unhealthy and why it gets such a bad wrap . It's genuinely a miracle product and one I live and can't imagine never not using ! 

The best place to get it if you can't lically is the Raw Living Coconut Oil, from Goodness Direct ! 

What are your favourite coconut products ?
