A SWEAR-BY BEAUTY TIP 
Retinol serum at night and sunscreen in the day, even during winter
A SWEAR-BY HAIR TIP
Don't use shampoos with parabens and sulphates 
A SMALL JOY 
Having my nephew stay over. I love waking up knowing he's there
HAIR WASH ROUTINE 
Shampoo every other week and only use conditioner on days that I wet my hair. I condition it every other day then use a moisturiser and wrap my hair in an old t-shirt for drying. It helps the curls pop
WHY DIZZIAK 
Because it works! It's moisturising and makes my curls stand out, and eliminates frizz. I never have to worry about which product to use now. It will forever be part of my hair care routine
GREAT HAIR MEMORY 
Combing my hair for hours in front of the telly when I was little
NIGHTMARE HAIR STORY
I went for a haircut at a place I had never been before and they cut it so short I almost cried. All I wanted was the ends trimmed! I'll never make that mistake again. 
ICON
My mum. Getting older I can see how strong she needed to be for us. She really fought to give us the life we have
IF YOU COULD GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW
I love to explore, so somewhere I've never been before, like Costa Rica or Panama. I have a romantic idea in my head of adventures there. Bird spotting in the jungle or cruising down the river in a long-boat
ONE THING YOU WOULD LOVE TO DO 
Dive in coral reefs
BEST PIECE OF ADVICE
You can't control someone else's actions, you can only control your reaction to that action
