[ECO]: Easy Ways To Go Green in 2016

With 2016  rocking and rolling for everyone already, what's a better time to start being green than now? 

While going green is a process, these are a few easy steps you can take on your journey of being more eco-friendly. 

♥ Switch your light bulbs to energy saving Compact fluorescent lightbulbs - they use about one 1/3 of electricity and last 10 times longer.

♥ Switch off wall sockets when not in use as they draw a lot of "phantom/vampire" energy while not in use.

♥ Stepping away from your computer for more than 20 minutes? Switch it to "sleep mode" and make sure to power off at the end of the day.

♥ Switch off the tap while brushing your teeth and make sure to have leaking taps fixed.

♥ Plant a tree

♥Start your own vegetable garden

David Gillson's Hair Tips

3 Top Hair Tips by David Gillson

Hi there beauties!

I mentioned on my blog in this post how much I love having my hair done by the uber talented David Gillson, the renowned celebrity stylist and trend guru who is partner and Master 
Stylist at Carlton Hair Melrose Arch and Hyde Park. He works with a variety of celebrities, such as Tamara Dey, Lee-Ann Liebenberg, Jen Su and The Shadow Club.

Today on the blog David is sharing his three top hair tips with you all!

• Always get a great haircut, it’s worth the money and will save you a lot of time and hassle.
• Always think about time and budget when you are thinking of colouring your hair. With the Flamboyage technique your colour will last longer and works out cheaper.
•  It is always worthwhile spending money on good aftercare products as your hair will then be easier to style and be much more workable.

Since I've started having my hair done with David a few months ago, he has been using the Flamboyage Technique on me and it has been helping with my regrowth. In a few weeks I will be sharing some of my hair tips and what products I'v been using to try keep it healthy, shiny and soft!

Love Always, The Glam Green Girl xXx
