Colab Active Dry Shampoo*
Colab is a brand thats been lurking around for a good ol' while now and Im not actually sure if I've spoken about it on here or not. Created by the absolutely wonderful Ruth Crilly - it's a range of dry shampoo's that you can pick up at your local drugstore that's good enough to rival the iconic Batiste.
Touted as a gym bag must have, the Colab Active is a must for those of us on the go, outdoorsy types and sporty babes. Who am I kidding, I am none of the above.
This Active version shampoo is the same formula as the original Sheer and Invisible but with Moringa Seed Extract to condition and offers UV protection for your barnet. I find the power of the Colab Dry Shampoo's to be super fine and almost invisible in the hair, you know that sort of white...

2 Shower Gels to get you going in the Morning
Hands up who hates mornings? *insert hand up emoji*
Nothing really gets me going in the morning (well apart from a strong coffee or seven) is a zesty energising shower gel. I need something that strips away all the sleepiness from my body and sets me up for the day. Now Im not promising miracles here, I can only speak from my own experience - but I can promise a little bit of spring in your step post shower.
LUSH HAPPY HIPPY
This is one of my ol' favourites, especially on mornings when you really CBA. Grapefruit really gets the senses going and brightens up even the dullest of mornings and this has even been known to ease a hangover or two. Zingy and Invigorating with a underlying zesty fragrance that really wakes me up.

Style Update: Oversized with a pop of colour
Two style weaknesses come into play here - oversized and colour! If there was ever a recipe I use more than anything else for smash and grab outfits, this is it right here.
You can't go wrong with a simple white shirt, a favorite pair of jeans and some colourific accessories. It's a combo created for success and I can't stress this enough when you find yourself in a "what the hell do I wear?" scenario. Always keep a pressed white shirt to hand and a clean pair of jeans. They will save you every day of the year. The accessories I leave up to you. The bolder the better, in my humble opinion. But then again, I'm 6'2 so I'm used to standing out. What's a bit more neon to sweeten the attention?

Video: A Four Seasons Safari
Yes, yes, I've written about the whole experience of the Four Seasons Serengeti, and I still do believe that sometimes I'm able to capture in words so much more than I can capture in video. But for this experience, I think seeing things in motion is just as important as reading my love letter to one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had.
Over the course of four days, I captured over 2 hours of video clips. Two hours, people! I narrowed it down to a half hour video, then a twenty minute video and then finally a four minute moment, with three extra minutes devoted to snapchat recaps. The result goes a little something like this...
Presenting the Four Seasons Serengeti Safari Experience:

DIY: The Dream S'Mores Summer Party
While I'm all for the average BYOB night this summer, I'm thinking outside the box when it comes to fresh party ideas and I'm positively in love with the idea of flashing back to the good ole days. Today, I'm in a camper's mindset. Remember those nights around the campfire, wooden stick in hand and marshmallow roasting? Those were the days, the easy summer days when all you had to worry about was heading back to school in September. And yes, I'd like to flashback there, and as often as humanly possible. So this summer party idea is a grown up version of summer camp, with a twist.
Introducing the "Dream S'mores Summer Party."
Everyone loves a classic s'more. Who wouldn't love the chocolate, marshmallow and graham cracker combo? But have you ever considered thinking outside the box?...

Prime & Protect in One Step
Dr Murad's Invisblur Perfecting Shield £55-£65.50ml*
Looking through my stockpile of beauty stuff for potential summer wins and fails to talk about on the blog and I came across bottle of primer come SPF by Dr Murad and thought I'd slap it on and give it a whirl.
As any self respecting beauty junkie should know. SPF is Queen. Number 1 beauty rule is to always wear SPF, even if its not sunny you should wear it everyday. It protects your skin from the elements and also helps reduce signs aging. But how many of us actually do that? Not me, even though I kid myself that I do it but often I don't or frankly... cant be bothered.
Dr Murad's Invisblur Perfecting Shield is like a gift from the skincare Gods. It's come down to grace my sensitive skin with a smoother looking face, plus and the added...
Style Update: A Lightning Bolt of Style Inspiration
Yes, I do feel this should act as a serious lightning bolt of action for people obsessed with cashmere. You need to be in on all things Tabitha Webb. Mark my words... big things to come here, but can't say anything else at this moment in time. God, I hate when people do that. Sorry, I've just become "those people."
Anywho, this is a piece that's available to buy from Tabitha Webb now. The bolt sweater has been one of the best sellers of the season. It might have something to do with the fact that the cashmere is the that perfect weight which can be worn in summer and winter alike. It's also not your average boring cashmere grey jumper. This a neon statement that can hold court with the best of them. Needless to say, I'm obsessed. Consider your formal introduction complete!

FFG Travels: Four Seasons Serengeti, Tanzania Safari Lodge
"Excuse me, sir, when do the elephants arrive?" This is the moment I came up with the hashtag #fivestarproblems. We were sitting by the pool at The Four Seasons Serengeti and a guest, who had just checked in, was eager to witness the arrival of the famous elephants at the Four Seasons Watering Hole. The waiter informed the guest that the television screen in her room would alert her when the elephants were approaching the pool. But alas, the guest in question would not have to wait long. Before the beautiful and gracious waiter could finish his sentence, a line of elephants emerged, stage left, as if the Four Seasons had gotten the memo that a guest was unhappy with some element of their trip. This is the Four Seasons way, of course- no one is ever allowed to have #fivestarproblems. They...
