Recommended to Red: Batiste Dry Shampoo

Batiste Dry Shampoo - Pretty and Opulent Oriental
In this edition of Recommended To Red, I'm going to be talking about Batiste Dry Shampoo. 

Dry shampoo is something I used to scoff at. I would laugh derisively and pass comment on how it must be a gimmick, how could that freshen you up?! Oh how wrong I was. 

My friend Anna is an aficionado of the stuff, she adores it, literally mowing through tins of the stuff. She has tried every scent under the sun I'd say. When I helped her pack to move home this past summer, there was an empty tin in the bin and a fresh one coming home. It was mad. How could one person love a product so much? Maybe it worked after all. 

So after much deliberation I picked up a tin of it a couple of months ago in Boots in the Jervis. The fragrance I picked up was "Pretty and Opulent Oriental". I will admit to having mostly bought it for the tin. It's just so nice. However I was impressed. The product actually does work. It freshens me up when my hair is feeling lank and lifeless. It adds volume and rids me of excess grease. What can I say? It did what I thought it could not and all with a beautiful scent. The scent, let me add, is flowery and sensual, and lasts for ages, to boot!

Colour me converted. Now I'm professing my love for it to your all, and I hope if you're on the fence you try it and love it as much as I did.

Picture This!

Every so often, I'm going to post a picture-heavy round-up of the last while in my life. 

A train selfie from the Cork-Dublin return journey. Loving that blue beanie!! 

Shandon Church, Cork. You can see all the cobbled streets from the doors.

See this little truffle? It was dairy-free, sugar-free, wheat-free and vegan. And it was the best thing ever!!

The view from St Patricks Hill, Cork. Shandon Church and St Annes Park in the middle distance...

Post 5km race selfie to close out the season! Love running with my man!

My gorgeous man pretending to be asleep, but the shit-eating grin gives it away. Wide awake!!

Fun times with these two. Oktoberfest takes Dundalk by storm!!

Eggs Benedict. My favourite breakfast on the face of the earth. 
Oh my god, it's the reason I'll never be Vegan. 

The Ploughing Championships was AMAZING. You need to go.

He had a ball, and a 5lb chocolate cake!

Myself, Christine and my sister June, at the Donadea 5km race series.

All the mad ones at the zumba-thon! <3


Being not just a wench, but being THE wench, on Halloween!! 

Myself and my joker of a boyfriend on Halloween!

Two of my favourite people on the planet! 

This sign had me in a hoop of laughter all night long! 

When you think life is boring, or dull or crap, remember the good times that have been and the great times that will be!!
