Dirty Fresh Laundry

I've recently discovered the up and coming brand Dirty Fresh Laundry; created in 2010, inspired by the iconic wash care symbols embedded throughout everyday life, this brand comprises a mix of bold prints in fun and exciting colours and is already popular with the music and fashion crowd.

I'm loving the simply stylish design above, £30, and that below, £25.

Earth Hairdressing & AOFM

Wednesday. 'Hump Day'. The day that is far enough into the week that everyone is stressed, yet not far enough for people to be realistically looking forward to the weekend. Last Wednesday I found the perfect solution to this mid-week stress at Earth Hairdressing's makeover event with the Academy of Freelance Makeup (AOFM). Selected press were invited to Earth's Oxford Circus salon to sample their new make-over service with assistance from students at AOFM. The results were then photographed by professional makeover photographer Takazumi Uemura.

Makeup was applied by both students of AOFM and Earth's talented staff

The makeover includes hair consultation and styling

This new service, lasting 90 minutes and costing from £50, includes: hair consultation and styling; professional makeup application; a photo-shoot and review of the photos.

While I was there, I decided to have a good look around upstairs and found the lavishly decorated and luxurious VIP room which would certainly turn an already fantastic time at Earth into something even better, along with the room used for Earth's new waxing service.

Earth's makeovers are a great way to treat yourself and de-stress or why not go along with a few friends for make the most of the experience.

Earth Hairdressing - Oxford Circus

Last week I attended a fabulous event at Earth Hairdressing to experience a taste of all they have to offer. Guests received hand and head massages, hair consultations, afro stylings, eyebrow threading and facials from organic brand Meltiva. I had a great head and shoulder massage that was truly relaxing.
