GROW UP.

Ok, I may just be acting like a moaner but this issue seriously ANNOYS me.


- When couples break up all time, see other people and then when the reach a 'mile stone' (well would of done if they had stayed together) they get back together and say how they have been together "2 years and going strong" Oh COME ON. REALLY? Going strong? Even though you cheated on him, saw other people, SLEPT with other people. But it's ok because you was on a break, you wasn't together, right? SO HOW DID YOU MAKE IT TO TWO YEARS? JHEEZ. If you must get back together again, wouldn't it be in your best intrests to start your realtionship again, instead of dragging on the last one which indefinatly ended in tears and 'breaking up' in the first place. Do people have no comman sence, it's like it's a competition when your young to see who lasts the longest. SERIOUSLY, grow up!

Do you know your hair?

 One of my worse habits is dying my hair.
I've gone through pretty much every colour. Light to dark & dark to light.
I like change & sadly, my hair suffers for it. Luckily the last two years I have been training in hairdressing and now know how to look after my hair properly.

I knew before my training that all heat related products from hair straighteners to the sun- damage your hair. Too much heat is defiantly a serious cause to dry brittle hair. You need to protect your hair as well as you can to avoid your hair eventually breaking from the root! But what I didn't know was things like having a poor diet, not exercising, not drinking enough water or having a hectic stressful lifestyle also has an unpleasant effect on your hairs condition.

Before I studied hairdressing I realised my hair had taken a sudden stop in growing. Now my hair hardly grew as it was but it soon became obvious that it wasn't getting anywhere fast.


This was until I understood the different stages of hair growth, I've tried to put it in simple terms- 

  1. Anagen- This is the stage where the hair actively grows.
  2. Catagen- This is known as the 'transistion' stage, the hair begins to stop growing.
  3. Telogen- This stage is when the hair stops growing and takes a break.
  4. Anagen- The cycle begins again.  


 Psst, Want to know a secret?

If you have hair that hardly grows like me,
then you'd understand the frustration that grows when your hair isn't.
Oh, this is no laughing matter my friend.
But worry no more, as this will work miracles...

D.I.Y or ask a friend ;-) 
Using the tips of your fingers, gently but firmly massage your head/scalp in circular motions. Work your way around from the top of your head to the bottom. This increases the blood flow in your head and will help your hair grow.
This defiantly works as I do it myself :-)

I ♥ snow

What a lovely (almost) surprise- to wake up yesterday morning to a very white world.
Wasting no time, we built a lovely big snowman & although a blizzard clearly broke out we carried on till our 'Mr Frost' was finished. :-)


But on a more serious note; it's a well known fact that when it snows in England, it SNOWS in England. The whole place shuts down and everyone turns just a little bit bitter. Moaning about it won't make it melt away, no matter how angry it makes you. Let's just have fun with it while it lasts; our weather is so unpredictable so chances are we're have some kind of heat wave next. Wrap up warm in a nice big woolly jumper (extremely hot right now btw) wellies, gloves, scarf & hat! Just because winter wear is for keeping you warm, it doesn't have to be ugly! Winter fashion has defiantly put it's stamp on this year with everyone crazing after cringey 'Christmas' jumpers?! Although you won't see me in a green and red reindeer 'nan' jumper, there are some nice patterned jumpers I already have in my wardrobe for when it gets cold!
Defiantly a must have this season.
