Honey coconut milk Hair mask - bought at Spar

The friendly Spar isn't really a place you think of when you think of hair mask and beauty. Dig a bit deeper in any thing and you'll find awesomeness. I saw this blog entry and found ALL the ingredients at my up the street, I buy there every day Spar.

1 Can of Coconut milk (just a normal one because you want the fat) this is usually by the deserts and box cakes.
1 Tablespoon on Honey
A vessel to mix it in. I bought a water
a shower cap also bought at Spar

Before I used the mask
All you need to do to prepare this is pour the coconut milk in the bottle. I smooshed the cream in with my hand. To get the honey off the spoon better leave the spoon in some hot water. Add the honey and shake. You can store it in the fridge for a few weeks or freeze it for a few months every time after use.


To use squirt a small amount of the mixture, like a R5 size, in your hand and work it into the root of your hair. I do this in five sections. (top/ fringe part, middle of my head, back/ neck, then left and right) be sure to really massage it in until you get an 80's hair style. I also add some mixture to my ends. Don't rub them together or ring them. 



Put on the shower cap an leave for an hour. Some times I do my nails or Farmville 2 and leave it on for longer.

I found that my shampoo was extra sudsy washing the mask out.

This is my hair after 3 applications:



Spar is really my Swiss army knife of beauty.
What unusual beauty items do you buy at your local store?

I see you there Tip Top Nails


Thanks for your follow. I would like to say thanks for such a top notch product. You make my favourite colour nail polish: Hologram glitter. (Rocky Road is in three sizes of glitter. Fine, normal and chunky) 




My base coat is always your clear protein base. Even when I’m not wearing any colour I still only wear the protein base.



AND your brand is one only of the few who have a matte finish top coat. I mean it’s affordable.



I don’t have Seventeen Magazine teenager money to pay for the high end brands of which only select salons are retailers and regular retailers don’t have stock. (I’m looking at you Essie and OPI)



For those who don’t know, these nail polishes are what I like to call vegetarian. Clean and harmful chemical free. They are available at Clicks. (I always go around to their rack/stand) It’s always well stocked. Another thing to look out for is their regular specials. Buy 3 and get the cheapest one free OR Buy two and get a base coat free.

Pros: - Well stocked at Clicks
  • Classic and fashion colours
  • Matte-nifecent topcoat
  • Harmful chemical free

Cons: - With some cheaper cosmetics on the market they may seem pricey
  • It took me a week to think of that one con ^ ^ ^
  • I still can’t think of any

Social them on twitter and Facebook.. Their website seems a little wonky at the moment (It still thinks we’re in autumn in the southern hemisphere.) I wanted to write punny things with their polish names.

Go paint your nails NOW!

Fairy light Project

I see plenty of plenty Fairy light projects on Pinterest. I always had an issue of how to hide the wire that gets plugged into the wall. Solar fairy lights are the answer.
Bought these at Builder's Warehouse for a mere R70.00


     Here is my empty window^^^

and then the finished product. No weird wires. No using electricity. Now let your Tumblr and Pinterest dreams come true.
