Recovering
It was my birthday 10 days ago, and I had a lovely day, however I'd been waiting to have an appointment at the hospital for a scan, which after a week of waiting I didn't even have a date for.
Last week we went to A&E and after tests and hours of waiting I got an appointment for a scan the next day (Thursday). That same day after my scan they admitted me and told me that the laparoscopy I needed could be done within 1 or 2 days.
Later they said to me that they could perform it the same day. I was so scared. However everything went fine and I'm now at home, slowly recovering. I was actually discharged less than 24 hours after surgery. I know it's not a major operation but it was my first ever and it was terrifying. Dotcito has been looking after me and I'm feeling stronger every day.
I think I lost some weight as I wasn't allowed food after they admitted me, and after the operation I didn't even feel hungry. It all happened so fast and was very emotional but I'm feeling a bit better each day. Can't wait to be able to laugh without pain again ha.

Avene Cleanance Cleansing Gel
A few months back I saw the Avene Cleanance Cleansing Gel on offer on the Boots website so I ordered and picked it up in my local store. I remember using it a couple of times when staying over at my cousin's about 10 years ago haha.
I finally opened it last month and also took it away with me on our trip to Mexico, and it's the only cleanser I've been using for both morning and night routines.
It lathers ever so slightly, which is good as it doesn't dry out my skin, in fact it leaves it feeling very soft. It cleanses well without leaving it tight or irritated and has a very faint, almost imperceptible fragrance.
You only need the smallest amount and I also love that the packaging is great for travelling as the twist cap prevents it from leaking or opening randomly in your luggage.
Have you tried the Avene Cleanance Cleansing Gel?

Cute Blouses at Rosegal
With summer's sunny days and high temperatures, sometimes all you want is stay in the shade with a nice refreshing drink. But if you must go out in the heat, consider wearing light colours. White is an excellent choice when it comes to summer dressing, as it reflects sun light and keeps you considerably fresher than if you wear dark colours. Here are a couple of my favourite white blouses from Rosegal:
The blouse on the left is super trendy and wouldn't look out of place at a summer festival. I love that it's very floaty and looks so comfortable. The off the shoulder detail is super trendy and will keep you feeling cool .
The shirt on the right is also, you guessed it, white. I think a shirt like this is such a staple in any wardrobe as you can wear it to practically any occasion, be it formal or casual.
Now for the fun part - a special discount code for you! Do you want some new clothes, why not taking a look over here? Summer sales ongoing, all from 33% off. Use code RGEN for another 10% off! Time for a new outfit!
Happy shopping!

Maybelline Baby Lips in Strike a Rose
I'm a big fan of tinted lip balms, and a while back I found this baby (no pun intended) in the beauty clearance section in Tesco, so I picked it up.
The Maybelline Baby Lips are almost a classic in the world of tinted lip balms - when they came out in the USA, everyone went crazy and couldn't wait to get their hands on them in the UK as there was a lot of hype around them.
As the name suggest, they intend to leave the skin on your lips baby soft, thanks to the use of natural moisturisers such as shea butter.
I couldn't wait to try it and in terms of moisturising, it did not disappoint - my lips felt soft and nourished, no more dry skin; however, in terms of the colour I just didn't think it suited me and for that reason I wouldn't repurchase, but if you are a fan of neon pinks then you should probably give it a try.
Have you tried Maybelline Baby Lips?

7 Free Image Hosting Sites
With the unnameable website that last weekend decided to start charging an extortionate amount of hundreds of dollars a year for 3rd party image hosting, a lot of blogs and websites have had to look for a new place to host their pictures. Here are a few alternatives:

OGX Kukui Oil Hair Care
A few months ago I won the OGX Kukui Oil Hair Care set in a giveaway, so they sent me the Shampoo, Conditioner, Oil and also a keratin Hair Mask. I've been using them for a while now (except the oil) so I wanted to write about them. I'll probably write about the Ogx Kukui oil Hydrating Oil after I finish my Garnier Ultimate Blends Blonde Illuminator Oil.
OGX Kukui Oil Shampoo - what I like about this shampoo is that it doesn't feel drying, it lathers a little bit and seems to clean hair nicely. It has a sweet scent that doesn't linger, rinses out easily and my hair gets less oily. What I don't like is that my hair feels somewhat dry and it's hard to run my fingers through it, which is not what I expected from a shampoo with oils in it.
OGX Kukui Oil Conditioner - this conditioner is so thick, it's almost impossible to get it out of the bottle. It has a butter consistency and has a nice scent as the shampoo, but didn't make my hair feel that more softer. I don't think either the shampoo nor conditioner made a big difference on frizz.
OGX Anti-Breakage Keratin Oil Miraculous Recovery: this is a hair mask and I would have expected this to have a thick consistency, however it is quite runny, almost like a body lotion, if not thinner. It is easy to use (unlike the conditioner) and rinses out easily, however I don't find it leaves my hair that much softer, which is what I normally expect from a hair mask.
So unfortunately I wasn't veryimpressed with these OGX products, hopefully the hair oil will be better, but as for these 3 items, I don't think I will be actually purchasing them.
Have you tried OGX?
