Sleep your Way to Bouncy Volumised Hair with Sleep In Rollers

Say goodbye to waking up to those pesky bad hair days! Sleep In Rollers are a revolutionary way of achieving gorgeous, bouncy and ultra volumised hair – all while you are fast asleep! No girl enjoys sorting out nightmare bedhead hair, and Sleep In Rollers can be worn overnight to take any hassle out of styling your hair in the morning.

Unlike some Velcro rollers, Sleep In Rollers feature a sponge inner which flattens as you lay down – allowing you to sleep comfortably with rollers in your hair.

The celebrity choice of roller, Sleep In Rollers are ideal for low maintenance styling that delivers a full and gorgeously styled effect.

Perfect for girls on the go, Sleep In Rollers will cut down on time getting beautified in the morning – they are also great for festival goers who want to ensure glam hair even when facing the muddy fields of Leeds or Reading this bank holiday weekend!

Fixing the rollers into place couldn’t be easier, simply section the hair and roll the hair into individual rollers, next add clips to keep the rollers in place. Now, you can go to sleep and wake up in the morning to reveal bouncy and full volumised hair!

Finish the look with a spritz of hairspray. For extra effect, use a pair of curling tongs to perfect the bouncy look.

Sleep In Rollers are available to buy online at TJ Hughes. 

Get out in the Garden this Bank Holiday Weekend

It’s the final bank holiday of the summer, so it is no wonder that keen gardeners across the nation are preparing to indulge in some green fingered activities this weekend! Getting those gardening jobs done now will ensure that your garden stays looking fresh right up until the end of summer – allowing you and the kids to make the most of outdoor fun.

Here are a few garden jobs that you can crack on with this bank holiday weekend...

1)      Mow the lawn
If the sun shines this bank holiday weekend, it is likely that the kids will want to spend the whole weekend outdoors splashing in paddling pools or simply enjoying some games in the garden. Make sure that the garden is ready for them by giving the garden a tidy with the lawnmower.

2)      Organise the Green House
If your potted plants have got a little disorganised this summer, this weekend is the perfect time for getting them organised again! Rather than cluttering plants around the garden, why not arrange them inside a green house? You can even label your potted plants to keep them neat and tidy.

3)      Clean that Garden Furniture
Summer will be over soon – that means there are only a few weeks left to enjoy al fresco dining in the garden. Spend this bank holiday giving your garden furniture a good clean to prepare your garden for evening drinks and family barbecues.

4)      Fire up the Barbecue
Speaking of barbeques, it wouldn’t be a bank holiday without a family barbecue in the garden. Don’t have a barbecue? Why not save money this summer with the 17” Berkshire Barbecue Kettle Grill – this great value BBQ is available at just £14.99 and will easily cook up tasty grub for the whole family.

Make sure your garden is ready for outdoor fun this bank holiday by shopping online at TJ Hughes where you will find everything from cheap greenhouses to barbecues!

Make Over your Bedroom on a Budget

We all spend an average of 8 hours a night sleeping, so it is safe to say that the majority of us spend most of our time in the bedroom.

Spending so long in one room can cause us to doubt the room’s current décor – leaving us daydreaming about new layouts and fancy colour schemes. However, a full bedroom redecoration can generally end up pulling tightly on those purse strings!

If the décor of your bedroom is starting to look a little tired, why not revamp the room by checking out our quick fixes for a budget bedroom makeover…

Add Bright Accessories
Giving your bedroom a new lease of life doesn’t have to break the bank. If your bedroom already has quite neutral coloured walls, adding bright bedroom accessories every here and there will give the room a new look while adding stylish pops of colour. Accessories that you might choose include brightly coloured photo frames or vibrantly painted vases.

Update that Bedspread
 The bed is the centrepiece to any bedroom. To make sure your bedroom has that stylish look, give your bedspread an update! Whether you choose a plain coloured bedspread that you can update with bright cushions, or fancy adding a statement splash of pattern to your room with a printed bedspread, at TJ Hughes we have got a great selection of cheap bedding and bed in a bag sets. One of our favourite duvet covers that will revamp any room is the Catherine Lansfield Butterfly Fusion Set – the colourful butterflies will add style and charm to any bedroom.

Get Wallpapering!
 Redecorating an entire room can be pretty pricey but one way of instantly revamping your bedroom is to wallpaper one wall of the room. A statement wall will act as a nice focal point in the room while working as a colour scheme for buying bedding, cushions and bedroom accessories for that stylish finish.
