Pureology Shampoo and Conditioner
Pureology Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner
I ALWAYS use the same brand and make of Shampoo and Conditioner, I don't know where I picked this habit up because my Mum isn't fussy at all but I simply cannot use a shampoo that's from one brand and a conditioner from another. Redken Extreme has been my bae for years but I thought it was about time I changed and started using something new... well its not new as I had used it before but I decided to switch over to the Pureology Hydrate range.
The shampoo has a smells lovely with notes of Ylang Ylang, Bergamot, Anise, and Patchouli. It's really lovely and refreshing. It lathers quickly and easily, rinses well without effort and doesn’t leave my hair feeling clean without being stripped or squeaky. The Conditioner is oddly cooling and has a very odd feeling on the scalp. I was worried when I first put it on that I was having a funny reaction but I've learnt to love the cooling feeling it has. I think it has some minty fragrance in it as it reminds me of when you use that Original Source Shower Gel.
It keeps my hair looking super soft and moisturised and perfect for drier hair types like my own. It's also sulphate free, cruelty free and vegan which is always a good line up in a product. I buy the 1000ml's from Look Fantastic which means I get tons and tons of uses out of the bottles. I think I managed to nab the two bottles for less than £45 which is a damn good deal for that much product.
FFG Eats: Catch at Hotel Casa del Mar
When it comes to seafood, call me a seasoned expert. You can blame spending every summer of my life on the coast of Maine and experiencing thrice weekly lobster and clam dinners on the back porch of the beach cottage. Seafood and I have a long and elaborate history. So, in all honesty, I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to eating seafood in a restaurant. I'm not one that favours elaborate dishes that end up covering the taste of seafood, but am rather interested in chefs that have the ability to enhance, or leave entirely unaltered, the natural flavours found at sea. Last week I found the place and the chef that would lead me to seafood glory from pasta dishes to grilled lobster tails, and all of it taking place right on the ocean itself at Catch at Hotel Casa del Mar.
It wasn't enough to simply introduce us to a few dishes on the menu. Oh no. The head chef at Catch took it upon himself to make sure that we had a taste of all the highlights. From the fresh catch platter of seafood that we marvelled over for several minutes, to the surf'n'turf serving which left us wishing our stomachs were actually 50 gallon fuel tanks, this meal was as memorable as the setting. Yes, at Catch at Hotel Casa del Mar, one's table overlooks the beach in Santa Monica. You are actually looking at the very ocean which provided you dinner. I guess you can't call that "farm to table." What would the equivalent be? "Sea to me?"
Now as far as preparation, well, the chef here at Catch can only be described as a seafood aficionado. This is a man that not only appreciates the natural flavors of beautiful dishes like lobster and shrimp, he also uses them as tools to take normal dishes to a new culinary level. In short, I would say this man is a genius. Too much? Don't think so. Ok, that could have been the glass of champagne or the wine to dish pairing talking, but I truly did feel as if I was in the hands of a man that had one agenda - to make sure I didn't leave the table without gaining 15 pounds first. Yes, beware. This is not an experience for dieters. Well, maybe Atkins dieters if you stick to surf'n'turf.

Pointed Snakeskin Toes
I'm really into wearing flat shoes at the moment and while on a regular ASOS browse I spotted these little babies and knew they needed to be mine. I've talked before about my love of printed/patterned shoes and how much I adore the contrast that they add to my predominantly black outfits. I wore them out at the weekend so they aren't as pristine as they were when I took this photo which makes me sad but I love 'em anyway! I might even buy these extremely jazzy white glitter toe capped ones but I really... really... don't need any more shoes in my life. Or do I?
