I am a complete minger with my hair. I wash it once a week. Yes...once every 7 days. It takes so long to wash, dry and style as it&#39;s so coarse and thick so if I had to do it every day, I&#39;d have chopped it off by now! Thankfully, once it&#39;s styled well, it holds that pretty well for the week. I rarely brush it and mostly leave it down. And dry shampoo is my friend!<br />I have a blow dry bar near my school run which does a wash and blow dry for £8 so I would use it a couple of times a month too. I think the better your hair sits, the better you feel and look so I don&#39;t mind paying...it&#39;s only the cost of a few coffees and I save money on products, hot water and electricity too!<br />Having said all that, I&#39;ve just gotten a Babyliss Big Hair to test and I&#39;m REALLY impressed. Watch this space for a post. I may never need to pay for a blow dry again! xxschoolgatestylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11374320337030060565[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309613786929270593.post-89235033989200151722013-11-07T20:28:14.055+00:002013-11-07T20:28:14.055+00:00Ah thanks for the lovely post Avril, was great to see you again and meet your lovely family. We all need a Marlene around us, she takes amazing photos. I am so jealous you look this good with no make-up and a hangover!!!!xGlamRosiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05715232195418834831[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309613786929270593.post-88470586231479522172013-11-06T21:38:26.845+00:002013-11-06T21:38:26.845+00:00Wow, stunning pics Avril! I have outfit envy....do you mind me asking if you wash and straighten your hair each morning? Sorry to sound like your style stalker but I never seem to set aside the time to do much else than stick my hair into a pony tail and I&#39;m guessing that with 3 young children you probably don&#39;t have the luxury of time each morning. However your hair always looks glossy and stylish , so please could you share any tips and secrets.<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br />Cath xAnonymous[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309613786929270593.post-21176786098481545642013-11-06T16:30:58.555+00:002013-11-06T16:30:58.555+00:00You look stunning Avril &amp; I&#39;m totally in love with that Boden bag xx<br /><a href="http://www.mymidlifefashion.com" rel="nofollow">www.mymidlifefashion.com</a>Jane Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06917460143752589855[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309613786929270593.post-28501278925734535252013-11-06T14:35:01.834+00:002013-11-06T14:35:01.834+00:00Gorgeous photos, lovely to have such a great reminder of your day together too!

What a wonderful week to be able to catch up with Marlene and Natalie, sounds like you had a fabulous time and isn&#39;t it a shame you can&#39;t have a mini Marlene on you to pull out for outfit shots, her photography is so on point and great! Love your little pink bag, a gorgeous pop of colour for this season xxSharon Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15792904322725966887[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309613786929270593.post-68121842006555929222013-11-06T09:26:47.413+00:002013-11-06T09:26:47.413+00:00Doesn&#39;t the world look different through a DSLR?
