Hair update | Fringe!

Howdy there partner!

So I don't know if you knew of my previous hair 'situation' but I basically had no idea what to do with it. I really wanted it ombred but I have dyed hair and if I put bleach on it it would go VERY orange (and I don't want half orange, half brown hair). So instead I decided to rewind back to my youth and get a fringe yayyyyy!

Just encase you have no idea what my hair looked like before i'll leave a before/after picture so you can see :D (s'all snaz over here!)

I hope you all likey! Bethan xxxx

Update | Autumn colours

Howdy partner!

Time for a little update I thinks, recently I've been into the whole "panic! winter is coming! buy loads of clothes!" fiasco. But last weekend I was forced to go on fieldwork in a freezing cold river for 5 hours, so to cheer myself up I took some photos of the lovely colours of autumn (everyone likes looking at coloured leaves, just wait until the blossom comes back, I'll have a field day!)

Lovely picture of my in sassy waders.

How beautiful is this!

I know i'm not posting much but I have my reasons...

Howdy partner!

So I really haven't been on my blog much recently, but as per usual I've just got way too much school work on my plate. If you didn't know I am in the process of doing 3 A2 levels, I'm completing my Geography, English Language and Psychology so I can hopefully go to university to do Geography (hopefully I'll turn out like Fleur De Force).

Anyway I'm just not really feeling motivated to write on here plainly for the reason that I feel that nobody is really looking at my blog and encouraging me to go further with it. Hopefully sometime soon i'll get my motivation back :)

I new post will be up very shortly!

Time to spruce up those old converse? | How to

 Hellooooo my lovelies!

Are your converse looking a little worse for wear? Well I guess you could throw them in the washing machine wrapped in a pillow case but - believe it or not - the pillow case makes no difference. WHAT. SO. EVER. There is still a couple of heavy shoes bouncing around in your (or your parents) washing machine which could cost a lot to fix. 
But don't fret! I obviously have an easy way to clean them what you will need is:
For the canvas:

• 10ml hot (tap) water 
• 10 ml vinigar (white)
• 1tsp baking soda
• 1tsp washing powder
• (a few drops of bleach for white converse)
• old toothbrush
• mixing bowl

For the rubber:

• 10ml hot (tap) water
• 2tbsp washing powder
• same old toothbrush
• same mixing bowl

Now you have all your bits and bobs together it's time to take the laces out of your shoes (these will look rank) and throw them in the wash with some clothes.

Then you add all the canvas bits together in a bowl to form a smelly liquid (add a few drops of bleach if you are cleaning white converse), then you scrub it all over your shoes (apart from the rubber) and let them sit for about 5 minutes. When they've sat (watching TV and eating a cheese sandwich) then you wash all the mixture off with warm water.

Now it's time for the rubber (if you're American I do not mean condom) mix all the things together in a little bowl and scrub the shoe, this will take a lot longer because it'll be dirtier than the canvas part. However if you are using a bit of bleach for white converse DO NOT use it on the rubber okay? Then do the same again and leave then for 5 mins and rinse them off with warm water and TA DAH. As good as new! (well...almost you might have noticed that some parts of the rubber may have become stained over time).

I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know if you did :)

Bargain | Bio Oil dupe

Hello my lovelies!

I have a bargain for all you frugal followers, I bought this from non other but Poundland! I usually go in to get stationary but I ended up buying this, I have used Bio Oil in the past and have liked it but i decided to try out this at a 8th of the cost (ish). 

I am currently half way though the bottle and i must admit, a few scars from spots have gone! I must admit I don't think it will work as well as big ass scars from operations or stretch marks, I think Bio Oil will probably be best for that. But to get a more even complexion I defiantly recommend it and I will be re-purchasing this fo sho!

How I use it is I apply a fair amount to my face before I go to bed (like night cream), plus an added extra of this is that I don't have to moisturize in the morning!

Review | MUA lip boom

Hello my lovelies!

First of all I should apologize for the fact that I have been away (again) for quite a while. I have been doing my AS levels (and recovering from them).

So as it is the "summer" holidays I will be doing more blog posts yayyyyyy :D

I went for a browse around MUA today at meadowhall and I found this "Lip Boom" product that I have never seen before, it is designed by Burke (Alexandra) and I LOVE it.

It comes in at £3 which is good considering you can get 4 looks out of it

- sheer

- bold

- gloss

- gloss over the lipstick

The lipstick sold it for me anyway because I haven't seen it before, the lipstick colour is called "It's a situation" and it is a vampy/dark red. Which I am surprised to see actually suits me, reds never suit me. I don't think the gloss has a name but it is just a pale, glittery pink which highlights the lips when it is applied over the top (giving an illusion that they are bigger).

apologies for the bad lighting but it'll make do
