Green Living has been using organic/eco hair, body and beauty products for the past five years, and we have to say that the Love Peace and the Planet range from TIGI is the best hair care collection we’ve ever tried.

Green Living enjoyed a jaunt to Helen's Bay recently for the Root & Branch Organic open day.

There's nothing we like better than supporting local businesses, so when we found out that Helen's Bay Organics was undergoing changes, we jumped at the chance to see what it was all about.

It's always wedding season in hair salons - as long as people keep falling in love, there'll be weddings to attend.

So when I talk about wedding hair, I don't keep it specific to the summer season, this advice goes for all year round.

At Green Living we're thrilled to have discovered Mil All Natural Balms. Why? Well here are just a few reasons.

Mil íocshláinte is a local company, which handcrafts its products in the Glens of Antrim, so we're supporting local business each time we buy.

Chocolate isn't just a treat at Sugahfix HQ, it's more a way of life.

We can't live without our regular cocoa fix, so on a recent trip to the gorgeous Caribbean island of Grenada, it wasn't the rainforest or beaches that our Green Living gal Andrea made for first - it was a chocolate factory!

Organic dark chocolate from the Grenada Chocolate Company (www.grenadachocolate.com) is a Caribbean success story.

Women in Northern Ireland love the vintage look and they know how to work it!

I've been all over the world at hairdressing conferences for TIGI, as well as numerous international hairdressing awards and events, and I can tell you, you gals have got it over absolutely everyone else when it comes to working a fabulous vintage look.

One of the easiest and quickest ways to get the retro look is with a forward 'fringe roll'.

First up though, we've had an exciting few weeks here at Partners - from a celeb snipper's visit to some futuristic basins - plus we've got a great offer for Sugahfix readers, so read on.

We're thrilled to be the newest addition to the fabulous Sugahfix team and I'll be bringing you all the freshest news, trends and titbits about hair and styling in my monthly column.

I was invited to the British Consulate on the Tuesday night is Los Angeles where British Consul-General Dame Barbara Hay gave a welcome speech.

I needed a glam dress for the event and spotted lots of stunning dresses at Sarah-Jane Boutique in Magherafelt when I was filming the 'Can you keep a secret?' campaign.  Mid Ulster ladies have a fashion gem right on their doorstep with SJ Boutique - and ladies - here's a fashion tip - it's well worth the trip if you're looking for something a little different for that wedding or special event!
