Boohoo Haulin' - KatieDailies

Hey guys, So recently I've been spending money like a mad women!
I needed to buy a new dress for an upcoming event, but then I ended up getting sucked into the shiny sale deals of Boohoo.Com

At first everything went smootly until I got the package and it was missing the dress I had needed, long story short I contacted  Boohoo customer care and they said it was "out of stock" I was outraged as they had taken the money out of my account when they didn't need too.

So eventually I ended up ordering the dress in a different size and different colour and it came just in time and I was so excited! :)

While repurchasing the dress the second time, they over charged me and after another incident of contacting Boohoo they finally sorted my problems. So lets get into the haul :)

This is the lara sweetheart neckline dress and I purchased it in plum the first time round, second time I ended up with a Khakai green which is gorgeous! It was €15 when I purchased it but its only €12 now! Bargain! The delivery is free and the dress is made out of such nice quality material!


Sadly, I had to return this next product, I bought it in a size 14 and it just did not sit right, the material was like a wetsuit material, which sat very heavy on the body. I have returned this and am so sad about it as the length and colour were perfect except the shape! €9 on Boohoo.

This next item is one of my favorites, Its a hand harness and I love these things! This is €8 on boohoo, gold with spikes, my favorite thing is the two rings connecting to it are cute little shapes like hearts and flowers, its edgy while being girly all in one! 


For months now I have been collecting statement necklaces, So the Hattie triple row was an obvious choice for me! 
I taught €16 was a little pricey for this necklace but realizing how much detail went into it, it was actually a bargain! In person the colour is a little more yellow than the gold in the picture. I am in love with this and the €16 price tag was completely worth it!! 

I love pairing this with denim shirts and a skater skirt for a cute fashionable look! 


This next top is a bargain, it looks like a necklace along with a top! :)
Its only €12 and i got it in black, the only con is that it is extremely short, the front is so short it is nearly a crop top!!!! 
I love tucking this into a high waist-ed skirt or shorts and it looks fab! 



This black all over studded bag is gorgeous!!!! I have the exsact same bag from Primark and I got it for €3 on sale. Orginally 12 in primark. This bag on boohoo is well worth the €`16 price tag as it goes with everything and is well made!



I have become OBSESSED with the Charlie chain hand harness, I love love love these things. I got this harness for 10% with my student discount from unidays! :)
The gold is fabulous and looks great with any outfit :)



Enter code Euro10 at the checkout to receive a further 10% off!!! 

Overall I was happy enough with my Boohoo experience and was refunded all the money I was owed eventually. The only problem with Boohoo is that the customer service is through email, facebook and twitter, so no phone line means you will be waiting longer than normal! 

Overall I am happy with my new purchases! 

Happy shopping days girls :)

Homemade Hair cleanser :) DIY - Kate Dillon

Did you know baking soda is one of the easiest ways to clean your hair? I've started using this baking soda mix once a week now compared to traditional shampoo!

THIS METHOD HAS CHANGED MY HAIR its now amazing! 

Hair build up is caused by using products on our hair. By shampooing we do not clear this problem but mearly add to it more!! 

I’m a completly DIY since my hair is so damaged from the bleech in my hair. I've been trying to avoid the nasty chemicals in most hair treatments.  They may leave your hair feeling sliky smooth but are they actually helping your hair? 
  • sodium Sodium Lauryl
  • Parabens 
  • Fragrance
  • These are three of the worst ingredients, but are in most shampoos!!! 
When we think fragrance  we think of the smell, strawberries, fruits or even something delicious. This word can actually mean nearly 4000 harsh chemicals! 

I tried a clarifying shampoo, but that made my dry hair even more dry!!!!  I then started to use an intensense hair mask with it, and that seemed to make my hair look even more dead!! I was seriously thinking of chopping off a few inchs of my hair I was that fed up!!!! 

We all remember how baking soda and vineger reacted in school in those volcanos now i simply, wash with baking soda, rinse with vinegar, blow dry, and curl! . 

That's it and my hair has never been as strong!!! My hair tends to get stripped by the shampoos i was using, I was trying to teach it to become more oily to lower the amount of times I had to wash it! 

 This is the cheapest thing I have ever tried!! 
The only negative is that this will not foam but its worth it!! 

Mix 1 part baking soda with 3 parts water. (  4 tablespoon of water - 1 tablespoons baking soda) 
I have long hair so I mix 4 tablespoons of baking soda, to 16 tablespoons of water. . 
Apply the baking soda and water mixture to dry or wet hair by starting at the roots and working to the ends.  

Let it sit for 1 - 3 minutes then rinse with warm water. 

Mix 1 part white vinegar with 4 parts water. (1 tablespoon vinegar - 4 tablespoon water) I add french vanilla or almond oil to reduce the vinegar smell!!! 
I tilt my head forwards close my eyes, and spread over my hair! 

After a few seconds, rinse with cold water. The cold water helps to seal in moisture, smooth the hair, and add shine.
Will you try the baking soda and vinegar method? Any tips for good hair?

Happy Hair Days :)
