Hey y'all,

So this post is going to be about my outfit of the day (OOTD), hair of the day (HOTD) and face of the day (FOTD) and it is well and truly overdue. I loved the day I took these pictures because I was having a terrible hair day but I still managed to make it work *does a little dance*. So without delay, here it is....

Please excuse the shower puff in the back,
You know how we be doing bathroom
modelling.

The FOTD was a very slightly smoky eye and a nude lip. However, because we like to keep it jazzy I added a dark lip liner (currant, MAC) for a bit of fun. 

I was going to Church so I wasn't looking for anything too extravagant and this look was just right.

Hair of the day...

So it is a sad story, but I shan't bore you with all that, I'll give you the short (ish), sweet version. I wanted to try a twist out with quite small twists, to see what kind of definition I would get, to see if it would last longer and if it was easier to style. So I went on ahead and did my twist out on the Saturday night. On Sunday, I did my makeup then started taking down the twists all excited about how I was going to style it and I was met with a crazy defined but uncontrollable head of hair. I wanted to have it out to show off some of the definition but it was not happening.

These pictures were taken by my dear
brother who neglected to tell me my hair
 was trying to escape.

  

So after fighting with my mane for twenty minutes (!!! for me it was like a life time) I grabbed all the bobby pins I owned and set about tucking it all away. To be honest I wasn't expecting much but when I finished I was beyond happy with the result.

 The front was rolled almost like I was going to do a quiff and the back was simple rolled up. So simple, yet elegant, and I will definitely never underestimate up dos again.

 So onto the final piece in the jigsaw, OOTD.
Now I've been thinking about getting healthy and loosing weight for a while, so I've not been buying clothes unless it was absolutely necessary BUT, when I saw this dress in River Island, I fell in love. I'm a curvy girl so if I'm wearing something clingy it has to be strategically done and the panels on this dress, did me justice (even if I do say so myself.) It's midi length so it's not to short and to top it all off it was only £35. I will happily wear this dress until it gets too big for me or it falls apart, which ever comes first.

My accessories from top to bottom, earrings are from Primark, Necklace is Aldo, bracelet is Primark and my watch is also from Aldo.

So it has been a long one but I hope you enjoyed.
Ciao for now and remember to be the best you.

So this is ridiculously late considering that we are now approaching the end of January BUT, I like the pictures so much I still want to post them. 

So at Christmas, to get all the staff and customers in the festive mood    my manager suggested that we dress up in reds and greens, which, I initially thought would be a lot of hassle. It did, however, turn out to be a lot of fun. My favourite day was Christmas Eve. I had made it up in my mind to go all out and do something special. The natural conclusion? Mrs Clause. Yes I went to work as Mrs Clause complete with with red dress and snowflake on my face. It was well received and the day was a lot of fun.

My hair I kept in a simple quiff and puff (my best to date even if i do say so myself). For me, the accessories really did make this outfit.

 

I do love a bit of dressing up :D

Hope you enjoyed the look and remember to be the best you.

Hi guys, It's me again.

So the excitement has overwhelmed me and even though my nails aren't even dry, I want to share my new discovery.

Velvet Manicure

Just before Christmas I was having a wander around Boots and Superdrug, as you do, and two new products by MUA (available at most Superdrug stores) caught my eye.

Nail Caviar

For those who are fans of nail art, you will be familiar with Ciate, and their amazing textured manicures which come in three forms, nail caviar, velvet manicure and sequin manicure. For those looking to do something different with their nails, their products are perfect only downside is the price point. At £18, per set, if you wanted to do a multicoloured look it could cos you a pretty penny.

Hence why I was so excited to find these beauties!

They are based on the same idea as as the nail caviar bead but at a fraction of the price. I picked these beads up for £3 a bottle and the 'FUR-EFFECT' nail pots for £3.

So the idea is that you pour the bead or flocking (the velvety stuff) onto wet nail varnish and dry. Sounds simple right? It is but still requires a little practise, patience and willingness to sweep up small beads from your floor.

I was really happy with the turn out. The textured was an appreciated break from the norm and I will definitely be playing about with the colours.  

The main downside to this manicure is that it is very short lived. It lasted about 36 hours and started to look a little dirty and the beads started falling off :(, but for a night out this manicure is perfect.

Hope you enjoyed the look and remember to be the best you.

Howdy y'all

So I've been doing a lot of experimenting with my air recently I've really enjoyed playing in it, so much that I'm thinking I may have to put it in to twists to give it a break.

So one of my first styles was the classic fauxhawk. Its quick, easy and looks great. The tools I used were hairbands, a lot of bobby pins, a wide tooth comb, a horse brush, olive oil ecostyler gel and my edge control.

I did the style on an old twist out. To make sure I didn't struggle with style in the morning, the nigh before I spritzed my hair with my water and glycerin mix and detangled my hair with my wide tooth comb. I then split my hair into three horizontal sections and secured each with a hairband. I did this to make sure that my hair stayed toward the middle of my head.

In the morning I let my hair out of the hair bands and applied ecostyler gel to the sides of my head. I then used, what my mum always called a horse brush -brush with hard bristles, and used it to slick my edges. I then used, what seemed like 100 bobby pins, to secure the middle section of my fauxhawk. The final step was to add some edge control to the sides for a polished look and fluff, fulFF,  FLUFF the middle.

Simple as pie and an edgy look for day or night!

Hope you enjoy the look and remember to be the very best you!
