Lazy Up Do Tutorial

It's no secret that I'm not too bothered about my hair, yes I want to look as blonde as possible but I often just wear it down and free!  Today I decided to wear my hair up with some dry shampoo as it could do with a wash.



Tools you will need;
  • Hair brush
  • Tail comb or teasing brush
  • Hair bands x 2
  • Hair grips x 6 or more

If you want recreate this look please follow these steps;
  1. Brush through of your hair to de tangle any knots
  2. Tease the crown and parting of your hair by brushing downwards at the roots in sections
  3. Roughly part your hair at the nape of your neck
  4. Create one plait on the left side and one on the right (make these as lose or tight as you wish but you will get more volume in the style make them looser)
  5. Tie each plait at the as fair down as possible with small elastic band or hair bands
  6. Grab some kirby grips/Bobby pins and pin the first plait across to the other side of your head, curling the ends downward
  7. Now pin the other plait across the opposite side of your head, tucking the end downwards underneath the other plait
  8. I only used 6 pins to secure these plaits in place, findeling with overall shape but you can use more for more hold
  9. You can also use hairspray if you wish









Ok so the one side looks a bit wonky but it was only for work and if it had more time in the mornings, I would actually take a bit more care.

Dat Highlight Tho

I am in love with highlighters. 😍


From powder, to cream, to liquid.  The shimmery goodness it my fav.  I think it helps define features and makes your face look slimmer.  It also makes you look very youthful.

I feel that it difficult to take a decent picture of clear highlighter but it looks awesome in person.  My favourite product ever is the Benefit High Beam and I've only got a small sample from boots in the 4 minis for £15 deal.  Then I love my No7 Instant Radiance Highlight stick for £9.95 with a highlighter powder to set the cream.


The following snapchat filter is basically the ultimate highlight that would be hard to create in real life.

Netflix and Chill

I love Netflix, it's a modern marvel.  You can watch almost anything you imagine but unfortunately it doesn't have things like Geordie Shore or any other English gems.

My top programmes are as follows;

1) Once Upon a Time - my favourite fantasy series with lovable characters and unpredictable storylines.  Basically it's full of everyone's favourite fairytale characters trapped in our world with no memories of their lives.  All 5 seasons are on there following stints on serval channels.

2) Jane the Virgin - I love this programme as its easy to watch and get into but it keeps me on the edge of my seat wondering what will happen to Jane next.  It has made me cry but it has also made me laugh so definitely recommendable.  It's like Ugly Betty with the Spanish culture netting the modern American world.

3) Orange is the New Black - This really interests me because you get attached to all the characters but they are convicted criminals!  The back stories go through how they got inside and it only makes you like them more.  Warning - there is a lot of lesbian action in there so if that makes you feel uncomfortable, maybe skip it.

4) Pretty Little Liars - How could I leave this out?  It's a teen classic and I have only really watched the first season, so I've got a lot of catching up to do!  This is like a teen murder mystery mixed with a classic high school setting.

5) The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmit - Another easy watch with this American comedy that follows a girl in New York after she was rescued from a doomsday cult.

Mad on this Month; Pokemon Go

Of course I have been partaking in the new, well old craze of Pokemon!  As a kid I watched the tv program and had a few of the playing cards but I wasn't fully into the video games and details of the Pokemon evolutions.

Now I'm fully into it.  I love evolving the low powdered Pokemon to their stronger counterparts.  I never learnt all the names  of the Pokemon back in the nineties so I'm learning now and having fun in the process.  

I love that it gets everyone out and about searching for Pokemon and hatching eggs by walking 2km, 5km or 10km.
Everyone can tell when you are playing the game which is good and bad.  You can makes loads of friends into the same things or look a bit wierd wandering around with your phone.

I plan to collect a Pokemon of every evolution.  Gotta catch 'em all!
