As promised in my First Impressions Review (read it HERE ) I would like to give you an update on the results after 12 weeks of using HR23+ Hair Growth Serum. I decided to start taking the supplement again, (my sixth week now) so the results I am describing below are the combination of both.  Please do read part one of my HR23+ Serum review first to better understand my hair type and my concerns.

If I had to describe the effect of the product on my hair in one word only, I would say - STRONGER. With that, comes less breakage and unsightly hay like texture seems to be replaced by healthier and smoother strands. I am very pleased with the fact that my hair stays bouncy for longer. I noticed that because before I used to regularly use a dry shampoo to boost my hair's volume, even immediately after washing. Now, I don't need it. This may be due to serum's styling properties but the brand doesn't claim it.

There's one interesting thing happening to my scalp as well. Every time I run my fingers through my hair close to the scalp, I can feel a distinctive mesh layer, as if I had many more of new soft hairs popping out. took a photo of my parting, one before my treatment and one today, put the two together and here's what it looks like:

This is the first time I have ever done a photo comparison review. I wasn't sure if my commitment to a regular application can pay off with interesting  conclusions. I am quite excited to see it for myself that I have a fuller head of hair. What's really worth mentioning as well, is that I never used to have much patience to hair care routines. Conditioning, hair masks or salon treatments, all of these have always been missing from my regime. That hasn't changed, I don't like wasting time in the bathroom or my money in the salon to make my hair look better. I learned that it is just a matter of a short lived fix, with no long term benefits anyway. I did decide to take part in HR23+ testing for a few reasons though:

> my hair needed emergency help due to getting thinner, dry, brittle and unruly

> HR23+ Supplement and Serum are based on a unique combination of natural plant actives to minimise harsh chemicals exposure and eliminate side effects often linked to other hair treatments available.

> the brand is honest and doesn't claim miracle results

> it tackles follicle ageing and follicle inactivity caused by hormonal changes that cause hair loss in both men and women

>with HR23+  my hair care routine stayed simple and straightforward, it took less than a minute to apply the serum every other evening

>HR23+ pill is a multi-ingredient supplement that delivers essential nutrients and vitamins beneficial for general health and wellbeing

HR23+ Supplement and Serum are available HERE, where you can find more information, some testimonials and current multi-buy offers.

Although I have tried to describe my thoughts to the best of my ability, I understand I may have left you with an unanswered question. Please use a comment box below to ask, should you need more explanation in regards with the use of HR23+. 

It's only a matter of days when we are going to start enjoying warmer days and plenty of sunshine. I wonder if some of you have planned to re-awake their body and skin trying to recover from the harshness of a long winter. My March natural beauty edit may help you with that goal, should you choose to use some of the products I had picked. Take a look.

1. Kirsten Kjaer Weis Mascara is called a Game Changing Mascara for a reason. It packs a punch of benefits and ranks way ahead of all other high end mascaras in respect of results, ingredients and safety. Its 99.8 % organic formulation offers super nourishment of cupuacu butter, carnauba wax and rose oil, makes the eyelashes look long, separated and without any clumping. Since the launch it generated many positive reviews, even from women with very sensitive eyes. I decided to include Kjaer Weis Mascara in in March edit as it has one more very unique feature. As this mascara doesn't contain harsh preservatives, its shelf life extends only up to three months. Therefore Kjaer Weis made their mascara refillable. The casing can be filled with a new insert and the old one recycled. It is a perfect solution knowing that standard mascaras have tendency to dry out before their due by date anyway. Kjaer Weis puts an end to the wasted money and the product waste  as well. That makes both  the environment and the customer happy, Find out more HERE

2. I may sound a little radical here - no summer ready skin couldn't be the same without a good rose spritzer. Therapi Rose Otto Hydrating Facial Toner offers a beautiful product with essential skin benefits, mainly by delivering moisture from natural Rosa damascena flower water and extract. Sold in contemporary practical spray bottles, Therapi Toner can be used as a refreshing spritz. A must have for a thirsty complexion. Read more HERE

3. J.Nicholas Face Serum has been my skin saviour and perfector for over two months now. It is recommended for a mature skin but anti-ageing label shouldn't scare younger skins from trying it, as formulated with only natural ingredients, it is suitable to balance every complexion regardless of  age. With no irritating synthetics or volume creating fillers, J.Ncholas came up with a rather exceptional product. Hero actives such as Hawaiian microalgae extract, sea buckthorn, buriti oil support cells in their natural turnover, boosting natural collagen production, whereas Safflower Oil assists the whole renewing process by adding in nourishing essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. What's more, unique blend of rose otto and orris absolute are responsible for that glowing, even toned and plump skin, whilst avender and bergamot essential oils keep the spots away by acting like a natural antibacterial agent. Highly commended. Buy HERE

4. Feeling lethargic and bloated? Too much comfort food and lack of exercise could have sabotaged your wellbeing. It may be a good idea to cleanse the body from within before facing those unveiling hot summer days. Fushi Detoxipure is designed to revitalise the digestive system by supporting liver function, the most important organ in our bodies for ridding of the toxins. To keep it healthy, you need to limit your alcohol intake, eliminate refined sugary foods and consider quality supplement, like Fushi Detoxipure, in my opinion, one of  the best natural formulas available out there. Blend of super actives such as psylium husk fibre, bioflavonoids, apple pectin, rhubarb root and vitamins is very likely to bring you a relief from congested complexion, fast tracking your journey to a renewed and radiant skin.

5. Once you have taken care of your skin at the base by choosing your supplement and serum, all you need now is Juice Beauty CC CREAM, the perfect finishing touch to get this season's most desirable look. The choice of shades - Natural Glow and  Warm Glow - is indeed the only choice you have to make for your complete summer make up arsenal. Bursting with blend of apple and grape buds stem cells and lemon bark, you can't stay oblivious to an array of benefits this cream brings, from evening out the skin tone with natural minerals to moisturising and damage repair action. That's a juicy multi tasking product. Learn more HERE

6. The quest to achieve summer youthful look can be rapidly attained by wise beauty picks. I wrote One Love Organics Skin Saviour on my shopping list for a few reasons: it can be used to exfoliate both face and body; it removes impurities but leaves the natural lipid skin layer untouched; it can be blended with mineral powder to custom blend a radiance boosting foundation specifically tailored to your own skin's requirements; it contains chia seed, vanilla fruit extract and mango seed butter to combine potent properties of nourishment and skin refinement. One needs One Love Organics. More info HERE

It looks like the sunshine has settled in UK for a little longer. With it comes good mood and some breaking news - 25 minutes 3-4 times a week  is all you need to get fit, loose weigth and keep it off - with HIIT which stands for High Intensity Interval Training. Read more to see why:

YOU WILL SEE THE RESULTS  IMMEDIATELY

This is so simple, you get out of your workout what you put in - high intensity physical activity mixed with low intensity intervals challenges your body to condition you at all levels - Endurance, Strength, Agility, Power, Explosiveness - you tick all of these within your 25 minutes. If this doesn't encourage you, your health is at risk.

IT BOOSTS METABOLISM FOR UP TO 48 HOURS AFTER TRAINING

This means you are burning calories at faster pace even when you don't exercise, that's an immediate effect of HIIT, so start now, and you will be sitting on a very firm ass in no time.

IT ONLY TAKES 25 MINUTES

Sure you can exercise for as long as your fitness level allows you but for those who are super busy or aren't exercise fans,  25 minutes sounds like a bearable time to sacrifice to get fitter. No excuses.

THERE ARE NO STRICT GUIDELINES TO FOLLOW

HIIT can be performed in many ways, the length of high and low intensity intervals can vary depending on your fitness or goals. The only rule is... give it ALL OUT during your high intensity intervals.

What's more, you choose which exercises to do, so you don't need to dread those burpees if you don't agree with them. There are  many exercises that target the same muscle groups, variety will make you stick to your workout plan. Do high knees instead or mountain climbers, or alternating lunges, or...

Below is an example of HIIT I do:

 10 x 45 seconds HIGH and  10 x 15 seconds LOW - 10 MINUTES TOTAL
