Apple Watch Review

Hey Guys!

Unboxing! :)
So a few weeks ago as I was coming to the end of my exams, after visiting my local apple store, I decided to treat myself to an Apple Watch!! At this point they were only available to buy online so I came home and purchased one! About 2 weeks later it arrived!! *Excited face* I got the Apple Watch Sport 38mm Space Gray :) But.... I did return it after about 9 or 10 days...:( Keep reading to find out my thoughts on the Apple watch and why I decided it wasn't for me..

  • The Watch... So ultimately the Apple Watch is a watch and I loved this part of it. Its great to be able to personalise to watch face to just how you would like it to be. 
  • Siri... A really cool feature of the watch is Siri, allowing you to tell your watch to do something without needing to touch it atall. Simply raise your wist, say 'Hey Siri...' and then whatever you want it to do..:) However, I found that this was really difficult to use and it was easier to activate Siri manually.
  • Text and Calls... One of the reasons that I bought an Apple Watch was for this feature. I always have my Iphone in my hand meaning that I also very frequently drop it. Therefore, getting and Apple Watch meant that I could put my phone in my bag and look at any texts or answer calls on the watch. However, when replying to texts on the watch you can either choose from a list of pre-prepared responses (such as 'I'll call you later!' or 'Sorry, I can't talk right now') or you can dictate a response. Even though this is a cool idea, for me it just didn't really work. I would rather just reply on my phone, typing the message than dictate it.
  • Health and Fitness... This feature was definitely my favourite part of the watch. An app appears on your Iphone as well as on your watch which is especially for fitness. It measures the amount of time you spend standing up, moving and exercising. You can set yourself goals for each day and you get 'achievement' awards for reaching goals such as reaching personal goals.
So, why did I return it? Even though there were many features that I loved, I decided that I couldn't really do much with it that I couldn't do on my Iphone. 
If any of you guys have tried one out, I'd love to know what you guys thought!

Thanks for reading,
Bye for now!

Goodbye exams.. Hello Summer

Hey Guys!

I have been very unactive lately with blogging and twitter and all things online. I think this is because I've been really enjoying literally doing nothing after my last exam and just completley relaxing. But its finally summer! Yey! I hope exams went well for you all that have had them this year. I literally have no idea how mine went... So I'm trying my best to completley forget about them now untill 13th August (which is results day!)
After having a break, I am now really excited to get back into blogging again! I have some exciting blog posts planned, so stay tuned!

Thanks for reading!

My new favourite hair care brand

Hey Guys!

As some of you will know, if you follow me on twitter (@theanongirl247), a few days ago I recieved some lovely gifts from Sephora, after my Dads recent trip to America. I loovvee Sephora but unfortunately they don't have any stores over here in the UK :( Anyway, having used these products over the last few days I have also added a small review on each one. Happy Reading! :)

Bumble and bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Shampoo & Conditioner
Bumble and bumble is a brand that I have never come across before so I was so excited to try these out. The first thing I noticed about these products is how AMAZINGGG they smell, better than any other hair product I've ever had! They just smell so fresh and yummy :) These are for 'dry, coarse or brittle hair' which I wouldn't really say is my hair type, but since I have had my hair ombred blonde with bleach, the ends of my hair have obviously become a lot dryer, so I'm always willing to try anything to help condition the ends (A review of my normal 'Serious Conditioner' can be found here). This stuff is definitely my new favorite product for this and I will definitely be buying full sizes of these :)

Bumble and bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Primer
Another product from Bumble and bumble. This has also shot to top of my favourites list! This product is described as a 'primer' but it is basically a heat protection spray which protects from UV light damage also. This is to be sprayed on damp hair before drying or styling. I love this! I will also be buying a full size version of this :)

Benefit They're Real! Mascara
As you guys know, this mascara is an all time favourite of mine and I was lucky enough to get another one from Sephora :)

Thanks for reading! If anyone has previously used any Bumble and bumble products, be sure to let me know in the comments :)

Bye for now!
