Wet weather hair - what to do?

Wet weather can be a nightmare for those with even the slightest bit of an edge to frizz.  So what can you do when times like these provide days with fog and that kind of rain makes you cringe? You know the rain?  Small droplets carried in the air.

Best thing to do is of course to ‘go with it’.  Rather than trying to create that sleek style that would be envied by Rachel in Friends – go with the curls.

A visit to your hair stylist is of course the best way to get special advice.  If you wear your hair curly you can apply a little more serum than you would if the hair was straight.  This helps to create something of a barrier over the hair and keeping the moisture out. 

Of course,  the beauty of this style is that you can simply wear it this way for just one day and change it back again!  Book an appointment with your local salon for tips on styling and products you can use to ‘go with the flow’ with your curly locks. 

Getting it right this season will give you renewed confidence and allow your stylist to colour your hair in a way to create sheen and bounce

Party time with Blue Lagoon

Hoping for Barman tricks - but he was feeling shy

So the other Sunday we had a party! We were welcoming Mo into England.  It was a typical rainy day.... I lit the chimnea in case folks wanted to sit out in the drizzle.  The smokers did.  Everyone else sat in my what-was-perfect house.

I'd cleaned and scrubbed and tidied til my fingers were raw.  Silly eh.  Rainy day, folks in and out of the garden,  all needed doing again.



Nevertheless,  we had such laughs and lovely friends of mine poured into the house far more than I expected.  We had around 28 'close' friends only.  Phew, so many.  It was a great day with much Blue Lagoon tasting going on.

Bob Proctor on Paradigms

Hey folks.  I'm so excited to share with you the video I have watched today.

I find it exciting,  inspiring and of course helpful towards my Lusher Life!

I do write on another blog which is much less personal than this blog.  It's over on wordpress and thankfully is one which works on Bloglovin'.  I'm having problems with Bloglovin on this blog which makes me very sad indeed.  Most of what I share on here is being missed by many.  Despite several efforts to fix it,  seems I'm not meant to share it except for your eyes only.

Nevertheless,  here I am working away at my computer today,  giving me much to ponder as life changes for me and I stumbled across a video I would only normally share over on WP.  Though as my blog is titled "Lusher life" and it's one of my Lusher life subjects,  I really felt you guys would love it too.

Have a little look and come on over and leave me a comment or two.

Hope your day is going brilliantly and you are enjoying the Autumn sunshine

Crohns Flare up - weight up, weight down

I'm a girl with a Crohns disease diagnosis.

As well as Coeliac (celiac) disease.

What's that all about anyway.  I've a long story about the diagnosis and symptoms of this I will pop at the end.

In this photo,  I was at my healthiest ever in my life.  Ever.
I felt great.  This was last year.  Life was pretty sorted really and I actually control my disease through diet.

However,  if you don't get the sleep you need you can get something called Adrenal Fatigue which can pop your remission on the back burner.

What is Crohns?
It's an inflammatory disease of the digestive tract.  So basically from where your food goes in to where your food goes out can have a problem.  Since I was tiny I've had this issue and I know that talking about it highlights the problem and using Law of Attraction it helps bring the problem back.  So I tend not to talk about it but it's kind of relevant to this blog and my current story.

Since I found out that I'm going to start a new life with my gorgeous fiance Mo,  I have only been able to sleep for a maximum of 5 hours sleep each night.  Often 3-4 hours.  Then 'bing' I'm awake.
Coupled with maybe less consistent eating habits than I should have.  And Excitement!

Oh Excitment how I love you!

Honestly,  I'm maybe a bit of an adrenaline junkie.  Without the 'looking forward to it' feeling of something in the future I find life is really quite Blah..
So having such a big thing as this is brilliant. 

Not having seen Mo for 5 months has been so hard.  Before that it was just a few weeks and we spent 6 months apart last year too.  Knowing we will be together each day is amazing for me.  I'm totally hyped up about it.

With the Crohns,  it can play with your body weight.  I have a couple extra pounds on right now so I'm ok.  I am unlikely to ever look too skinny as I always carry hips and bum but i have drifted down to 7.5 stone in the past.  
Food allergies do one of 2 things:
*Make you skinny
*Make you fat.

I've been both.

It makes life in the wardrobe department a little tricky! But right now I'm happy that these pounds are falling off.

My stomach growls like the M25 motorway every time I eat right now and it's a problem.  No morning coffee for me.  Mint tea all the way!

I'm very lucky that I found a diet called the Specific Carbohydrate Diet and following this really works.  I would recommend this to you if you have IBS, IBD or any linked digestive issues.  I will post a detailed blog about this but show me some love right now.  
Having exciting energy can upset the system but it's all good.  I love feeling excited and I cant wait until Mo comes.  

7 more sleeps!

So many blogs to write, so many vlogs to edit

Morning all

News in the Usher household is plentiful right now!

There is so much going on.  I love life when it's like that!

Now it's mostly about this fella right now, my adorable Mo.

In 8 sleeps he will be getting on the plane to come here and join me for the start of a brand new life together.

You can imagine how exciting this time is.  I'm feeling a need to blog it all as it happens so you can get up to date and be with us on the journey as it happens!

As an author I'm keen to get on with more books,  Mo and I  have decided we have an amazing story and we should be sharing it with others to give them hope or to simply give them a nice story to read.

So I need a little schedule.  With my morning coffee I shall sit and blog more.  I could write until the cows come home! IT's part of what I do.... It's my passion.

I love this photo of us.  It was  a fun filled night of friends, vodka, music, laughter and dancing! We loved it.  Some of my close friends have told me they can feel the love in this photo!  How nice.

Meanwhile,  I've lots of photos I can share with you as I shop ebay and the local stores for wedding accessories etc....

Stay tuned!
