While having my daily shower, I couldn’t help but notice my shampoo. Not the make, although admittedly, Lynx is a bit chavvy. No, the thing which caught my eye was the ingredients in the shampoo – “zinc and glacier water”.

What purpose zinc or glacier water serve when it comes to maintaining healthy hair, I don’t know. Maybe I’ll find out, as it’s the first time I used this shampoo. I took the steps of taking a ‘selfie’ (I hate that term) shortly after washing my hair see if I could see any amazing benefits. I can’t notice any, but will review my mane after a few weeks of using the new shampoo.

I bought the shampoo because I like Lynx deodorant. I didn’t buy it because it contains a metal or some defrosted ice. I do hope that everyone else is the same and there is nobody who actually buys shampoo containing strange ingredients, thinking they are of some benefit.

If there is a market for putting combinations of elements into hair products, I’ve got a few ideas of my own. Maybe I’m only something…

• White leopard tears and iron filings
• Buffalo dung and Welsh rain water
• Mercury and shark blood
• Toenail clippings and volcano steam
• Pinecones and cat milk
• Steak and chips

All of the above shampoo ideas and combinations are copyright of Sean’s Stories 2015. Unless anyone dies as a result of using them, in which case, I diminish all responsibility.

… yes, I know it’s only January. However, if shops can sell these, I can blog about them.

Look what the Avon Lady delivered yesterday… Aren’t these the coolest things ever? Not a bit girly.

I assume they taste like this…

When drinking a bottle of Lucozade Sport at work, I noticed a promotion where you collect codes from the packaging, which can be redeemed for sporting goods. Presumably everything from tennis balls for 2 or 3 tokens, goalkeeping gloves if you get 10, a set of bibs for 30, or Chelsea Football Club if you manage to drink a hundred million bottles of the stuff.

To register the codes on the bottles I had already drank, I had to log onto the Lucozade website. Upon investigating the offer, I must admit, I was disappointed to say the least. I think that I’ll be drinking an awful lot of the stuff, for a very long time, before I get anything in the realms of a ‘free’ gift.

Even a bloody water bottle is excessive. 105 tokens! Granted, I’ll get SEVEN bottles for that amount of tokens, but who needs that amount? If I drank 105 bottles of Lucozade all by myself, I’d need a coffin, never mind a water bottle.

Still, if any of my fellow readers are Lucozade drinkers, let me know, as you can donate your codes to other people. Hint, hint, hint…
