Q&A 2016 EDITION

I set up a Q&A thread over on my Facebook page, as I thought it would be a good idea for you all to get to know abit more about me, but the things that you want to know by asking the questions on things your interested in :)
Thanks to those few who weren't afraid to get involved!

Questions by Nikki at Nikkipedia

  1. What are you hobbies outside of blogging?
    Umm, I don't really do much without Alex in toe so other than doing things with him, I don't mind doing abit of retail therapy or practising with my make up especially eyeshadows :)
  2. What did you want to be growing up?
    Well, this changed every week, for a while a hairdresser, then a lawyer, then an actress haha, there's been so many career paths I've thought about. 
  3. What was you inspiration for starting up your blog?
    It had been an idea I'd toyed with for many years with things I've been through/done as I always thought it would be good to jot down what I'm thinking/doing. And if I could help just one person in some way that'd be amazing! But watching my cousin set up her Youtube channel and a lot of encouragement pushed me to finally set it up :)
  4. How do you plan what you will be writing about next on your blog?
    Right now, I don't really do a lot of planning as to what I'm going to write, if I enjoy something I'm doing/saw/bought I'll write about it. I have previously used a diary to put an order of what I was going to blog about but it always changed. 
Question by Macauley 
  1. If you could go anywhere in the world to pursue a dream, what dream would it be and where would you go?
    Hmm, tough one! I'd like to travel all over the world possibly promoting my own perfume as it is my favourite thing ever!
Questions by Tunde Sanusi at TuhamWorld

  1. What are your hobbies apart from blogging?
    As I wrote above alot of my time is spent doing different things with Alex and I very rarely get any time for myself but when I do its retail therapy or practising with make up haha
  2.  If you had a chance to travel to Africa which part would you go and why?
    Umm, honestly I do not know alot about Africa or the cities in it. However, I think I would like to go to a holiday destination for a visit. Then flip it on its head and do the complete opposite possibly and visit to do some charity work somewhere.
  3. What career you like todo in the future?
    Umm possibly blogging or maybe I'll branch out to YouTube, I'm not sure. never been sure on what career i want to take haha! Quite like my actual job most of the time :)
  4. I hardly see a post of you talking about Alex's dad, its not compulsory one talks about his/her partner though but i mean like dedicating a single post for him, Is he so that very busy?
    He simply didn't want to be involved or talked about in great deal :)

I loved doing this and hopefully will do a few more in the future :) give the post a like if you enjoyed it too. Get INVOLVED leave your answers to some of the questions below, I'd love to read them :)

Thanks Again

SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH MY HAIR


Hello Helloooo...

Just a short and different one from me :)

Back at the beginning of March I posted this first picture of my braided hair, and never got round to doing a blog post about it haha

As you can see its not very tidy, but thats what practice is all about isn't it? Well I think so anyway :)

I came across this hairstyle from watching YouTube videos, sadly now I can't remember the name of the YouTuber but thought I'd giving it a go.

I'm not a big hair-doer, its either down, or up in a messy ponytail. I don't dry or straighten it very often either... its not that I don't want to, its just quite thin and has been falling out and re growing ever since having my little one. Always got baby hairs and fly aways as it grows. 

Anyway,, This hair style is a French braid all around your head, so starting at your parting and working your way around. Because I have a side parting, I just moved it over more and braided across my head if that makes sense (maybe not? ha) I actually just twisted the other side and popped in all into place with some hair pins. Although i think it would look so much better with hair pins with a flower design or something similar. 

I quite like this hairstyle and could be worked for any occasion. Could be quite messy and relaxed for a casual look, holiday hair or a lot more tighter and prettier for a wedding or function to attend. I'm certainly going to be giving it a go after some more practice when the summer arrives... if it arrives! Fingers crossed.
When I took it out it was all nice and wavy and full of volume.

Send me your hair pictures, I love seeing different styles xx
