Which Melatonin pills would you recommend? Daughter has shocking sleep so wondering if they would work.
I've always used this site to order from the US - very reliable, pretty quick, and they're forever sending discount codes, some of which you can stack, so the price can be pretty good!
I've tried a few different kinds and not really been disappointed, but I'd say keep an eye on the strength - I've ordered a low-dose a couple of times and run out very quickly because I've got to take a handful of them each time 😂

Has anyone got any tips on how to get an at home blow dry to hold? Looks great for the first hour to two but then falls flat 🙃

Have you tried mousse? I know some people find that helps their hair hold curls better. I don't much like the feel of my hair with it though so rarely use it (and my curls then don't last long ha).

So I tried extra hold hairspray last night after blow drying. I basically pin curled the bottom so the flick would hold (lol next joke) and then sprayed it. Took it out and it just didn’t work.

I didn’t know if rollers with pins would work? I just want it to hold without anything so it looks silky but I know I’m asking for too much. Hate how heavy my hair is sometimes 🙃

Yeah, if you have hair that doesn't hold a curl well I think you need product to help I'm afraid! I very much empathize!

I think because mousse is applied to the hair when damp (before you blow dry it and then curl) it helps 'set' the hair - in a different way to hairspray. Definitely try that in combination with pinning the curls up while they cool too.

I had a similar problem but been using Percy and Reed mousse that came in my advent calendar. It really works and doesn’t feel grungy.
My daughter keeps telling me to use better hair products and not just whatever is on offer as it will make my hair look better and I think she might be right.

Hey I know it’s £££ but the Dyson airwrap and some sea salt spray works so well if you haven’t already tried.
 
Mine are:

1. skin+me prescription - mine currently has azaelic acid, niacinamide and tretinoin in it and it’s working well.
2. LRP cicaplast Baumé for hydration - love it!
3. Korean skin towels to exfoliate in the shower, gentle enough to go over my psoriasis and seeing all the dry skin rub off is disgusting yet amazing!
4. Laneige sleep lip mask - wake up to lovely soft lips.
5. Saxenda prescription for weight loss - tried it earlier in the year but stupidly didn’t use it correctly so have started again, day 2 was today and so far really enjoying not constantly thinking about food/not feeling hungry all the time.

If you don’t mind me asking - how do you get a prescription for Saxenda? Is there a certain criteria to meet and is it expensive?

I got mine from boots online doctor. It’s £250 for 5 pens which lasted me about 3 months last time I used them. Yes you have to meet a certain criteria which I believe is BMI 28 which I currently am (5ft 2 and 10 stone 13). I was approved in less than 24 hours and picked up the following day.

I did the trial thing where you only pay for postage, I am so impressed with the results in just a couple of weeks! Definitely would like to continue this but not sure I can justify the cost atm with life costs 😩

If its in your budget though I definitely recommend to give them a go!
