Orange.

Hello! Long time, no blog. I hope you all had a wonderful Xmas, I love seeing all your piccies of what Santa got you! I left most of my stuff at my mums as we are moving soon so can't do mine until the end of Jan. 

I have been a bit vacent as we are trying to pack up paint etc etc before the big move. However I thought I'd treat myself to a pamper last night, I bought the bleach and the hair dye to get my hair to Lilac. Unfortunatly, I couldn't wait to get to Sally's like a sensible person would and just bought some regular bleach. This is the result...

 

Now I am using a colour stripper/correcter and am praying for good results! Although I do quite like this colour. My poor hair...

I used an Iphone App to figure out the colour I want, this is hopefully the result when I have added the lavander colour..

I hope I can pull this off without looking too 'scene'

Hey guys!
I bring good news.. (well, for me) I'm moving! I am so excited. Lee moved in my flat about a year and a half ago, and my flat is super tiny, so with both of us in it's bursting at the seams.

The new flat has got two double bedrooms, a small room, an open kitchen/living space, a bathroom, and a separate utility room with an extra toilet. It has a big bay window, which overlooks the sea. I am literally so excited that I am probably making no sense what so ever!

Sooo,we are currently trying to decide what we are going to do, we are hoping that we can fit the bed in the small room, and then have a double bedroom each for our own uses. Lee wants a games room. A typical man-room with xboxes and Wiis and big TVs and all that jazz. I want a dressing room, with an old shabby chic dressing table, with a Hollywood vanity mirror and a nail station. I have been scouring the internet and have mentally spent around sixteen thousand pounds already. I bloody wish!

My run of luck continued with an early Christmas present from the tax man as well. I am so happy at the moment! Today I helped out at a pensioners Christmas meal, it was so lovely. There was a band playing and all of the old couples got up to dance, it melts my heart! One of the tiniest old ladies I have ever seen also had a go on the drum kit!

I am currently watching Tim Minchin on the TV, hasn't he got the most beautiful eyes? 

Hope you are all well and looking forward to Christmas!

DIY Candle Display.

You will need:

1. A pretty glass, I used a Martini glass but you could use a chaphane flute, wine glass, anything you like!

2. Some gems/beads. I got my 'wedding confetti diamonds' from this seller here. A broken necklace would be perfect.

3. A tealight. A floating candle would be nicer though.

4. Water.

5. OPTIONAL: Some scented oil.

I don't even need to tell you how it's done do I? It's THAT simple, and I'm not even sure I can class it as a DIY!

NB: It lives on a table in the living room, not on my sink.
 

PS. I am having a sort out at the moment, and am putting some thing on my eBay. I have some up already, and will be adding more tomorrow. Check it out! It's going to the 'We need a bigger flat, pronto' fund.

All I want for Christmas is..

Unrealistic! (Mostly..) Although I have been a VERY good girl this year!

The Versitile Blogger Aaward.

Hey guys!

I can't believe it, but I have been nominated for a versatile blogger award by the gorgeous Natalie at Nats Beauty Bits so thank you very much! Check her blog out, it's bloody brilliant! This is my first award, and I'm really surprised as I haven't been blogging for very long. Chuffed :)

The Rules for this award are super simple: 

1. Thank the person who nominated you and give them a shout out on your blog with a link to their blog.

2. Share 7 random facts about yourself.

3. Send on the award to 15 other bloggers whose blogs that you appreciate and then let them know that they have won the award.

Random Facts.

1. I am very critical about myself. I constantly scrutinize my work, which sometimes can be positive, however sometimes I think i'm a bit too hard on myself.

2. I love to cook (it's my job!) and would like to include the occasional food post in my blog, but i'm not sure people would be very interested.

3. I don't really like Summer. I hate being hot, I hate the pure mania that happens in this town and I miss the dark evenings.

4. I have non-exsistant baby toe nails. 

5. I had a bout of Aleopecia last year, at the same time as my mum. I had steroid injections in to my head and now my hair has grown back. I'm scared i will get it really badly in future and loose all of my hair.

6. I can pull the most disgusting face, and I have never met anyone else who can do the same.

7. I enjoy trashy TV far too much (Big Brother, TOWIE etc.)
