Hair Trend – Ombre Hairstyles

I love the ombre look. It’s cool, chic and perfect for brunettes to play around with colour in Summer! Think SJP, Lauren Conrad, Khloe Kardashian Alexa Chung, Drew Barrymore – you get the picture.

Ombre hair is a contrast of colour with the deepest and darkest shade at the roots, graduating to a lighter shade at the ends.  I guess it sort of looks as if a blondie has grown her roots out.

A few years ago I had my brunette hair dip dyed blonde and then later on, a few more blonde streaks added in for good measure. At the time I just called this ‘dark hair with blonde at the bottom’ rather than the actual ‘ombre’ title.

It’s definitely a look I will try out again but maybe with a few different blonde colours so that it blends well with my dark hair!

These are some of my favourite ombre hairstyles for a little inspiration:

Grazing for girls & guys on the go

I am one of those who love to snack.  I may eat an oreo, then one more, and before I know it the whole pack has gone!  So, it was with absolute delight that I found Graze boxes.  The concept of a graze box is actually quite remarkable; healthy snacks in a box.  Visit the online store and put your taste buds to play by choosing which items you wish to like, bin, love or try.  With so many choices from dried fruit to nuts, olives, focaccia and even flapjacks, there really is something for everyone.  What I like even more, is you have complete control over your order, choosing what day(s) you wish to buy a box – and they are sent through the post with no waiting around to sign for delivery.  I receive my graze box at work, so I can pick on healthy snacks all day long without feeling guilty.  The ultimate office snack full of nutrition!

A graze box costs just £3.49 including delivery, please see www.graze.com
