Time for a change | New hair #3

Hey loves,

I'm back and yes I've changed my hair again, it feels like I only just recently typed up a 'Time for a Change | New Hair' post but it's all good.

The beginning of last week I changed my hair and I wanted to try something different that I had not done before so I decided to go for this hairstyle, I have in my hair crotchet braids there so easy to put in and take out literally all you need is some hair and a crotchet needle.

To do this hairstyle all you have to do is cornrow your hair underneath but you must bare in mind where you will want your parting to be I wanted a middle parting and a side part on my right side so when you cornrow your hair just ensure that you plaits are where you want to have your partings.

Next you'll need to take your hair and your crotchet needle and literally put them in starting from the back working your way to the front, it is so easy to do, I did this hairstyle by myself and it took me like less than an hour to install all the hair into my head.

For this hairstyle I used two packets of Marley braids, however I would advise you to use three packets if you want it to be more full. After I put all the hair in I used a paddle brush and brushed it out to give it that afro look and I do this every time I go out.

And I will tell you guys that this hair sheds so much but I'm not surprised it is synthetic hair so it is expected. and if you guys don't want to use Marley hair you can use something else I only used it cause it's what I know and I've seen it on other people so I know what it will look like.

I love this hairstyle so much its so light and looks so natural literally every single time I'm out I have people coming up to me and asking me if this is my real hair, or how do I get my hair so healthy.

I love this hair and I would recommend it to anyone.

I hope you guys like this new hairstyle

Beginning of the Year Wishlist

1. Adidas Trainers

2. Rimmel Lip Lacquer

3. Contrast Sweater

4. Hooded Crop Sweater

5. Hooded Duffle Coat

6. Bag

7. Quilted Backpack

Hey loveliess!

Today I have a beginning of the year wishlist, thinking about it there has been quite a few things that I have seen and been like "oh I like that, I want it" so today I'm going to share those items with you.

Firstly, I have a pair of trainers, I've been looking for a pair that I haven't really seen a lot of people wearing. I am in some serious need of some new trainers just cause I feel that the trainers I have now are getting a bit boring and I just need something new in my wardrobe.

Next on my list is the Rimmel Lip lacquer in the shade 230 kiss fatal, I love this colour it is kind of like a brownish, purpley colour I think it's a perfect winter shade and can easily be worn coming into spring.

Thirdly, I've been on the hunt for a really cute sweater ad because I'm such a sweater person my expectations are pretty high. I think the whole colour block and colour contrast look is so cute and I'm soo loving it that is why I need this sweater.

The fourth item on my wishlist was a hooded crop sweater, after I saw the white one with 'flawless' on it I loved the look of it but I really wanted a plain one and a dark colour just so it doesn't get dirty so easy so once I found this one in Newlook I was all for it. Also, I don't actually own a lot of crop tops I only have one that I never wear cause I don't really like it any more so that's why when I found this one I was even more all for it.

Next on my list is the hooded duffle coat, I'm in need of a new duffel coat because I just love the way they look and the way they fit. my other duffel coat is getting a bit small for me now and it just isn't as long any more and I can't wear it with lots of layers underneath, so I think it is about time that I got a new one.

sixth on my wishlist is the bag, I really need a new bag just so that I can have the choice of swapping and changing my bags also all my bags are all black so I really need a change of colour sometimes.

Also I hate that with the bag that I take to college it is quite small so I cant fit a lot inside so I am all for this bag just because it is bigger and has much more compartments.

Lastly I have the quilted backpack, I really want a backpack just for them days that it's really cold and I don't want to have to hold anything in my hand I can literally put the backpack on my back and keep my hands warm in my pocket.Also, I am loving the backpack look so having one is a must.

So this is my wishlist for the beginning of the year 2015, I hope you enjoyed it

Mac 'n' Cheese for lunch

Hello Everyone!

got a new exciting post for you guys I have been wanting to do this recipe for so long and now I have finally got it done.

I'm going to try and do a lot more food posts on my blog just because I really enjoyed doing it and it kind of breaks it down from all the beauty and fashion.

Today I'm going to show you how I make my 'Mac 'n' Cheese' recipe for lunch, and I know everyone has different ways of making it but I am going to show you how I make mine.

so let's go....

Ingredients:

Pasta | Of course when it comes to pasta you can use any type, I know with mac and cheese you are supposed to use Macaroni but I prefer to use fusilli pasta just because I find it easier to get rid of the water when I drain it but to me I don't think it taste any different or makes a difference. I used a whole packet of 500g.

Butter | depending on how much your making you will need butter I used around 2-3 big serving spoons and I made for 7 people.

Flour | you don't need a lot of flour I used 3-4 table spoons and with the flour if it's not the right consistency you can easily add more. ensure that before you add the flour it is plain flour and not self raising flour.

Milk | I think having a lot of milk is vital especially if you are not to familiar with making this dish just because you don't want the cheese sauce to be extremely thick because this will result in a very dry mac n cheese which we don't want.

Cheese | Obviously you're going to need cheese to make the dish so I used mature cheddar because it means that the dish will be really cheesy and I won't have to use so much cheese, depending on your own personal preference you can decide how much you put this will mean after you've added the cheese you may need to taste it.

Firstly, you will start off by putting your pasta on to boil this will give you time to make your cheese sauce.

To make the cheese sauce you will need to start off by adding butter to a hot pot, mix the butter around using a wooden spoon until it is all melted.

Once all the butter it melted you will need to add your plain flour mix this up until all the butter is dried up and the mixture is solid, somewhat like a play doh texture.

After you will need to add your milk to the butter and flour mixture, using the back of the wooden spoon you will need to squash and mix the mixture until it is smooth and it has all dissolved into a liquid mixture. 

After that I decided to add my seasoning's, I added 4 maggi cubes (if you know you just know.... LOL!) this gives it so much more flavour and obviously the less you are making the less cubes you will need to use. I also added a small amount of mixed herbs I'm not that big of a fan of mixed herbs but it does give it a different taste so I always try to add a small amount. You can use whatever seasoning you want it just depends on your personal preference.

After you've added all your seasonings, you will need to mix it up, . so at this stage the sauce should be the right consistency but since we haven't added our cheese yet you may need to add more milk so it is smooth and not too thick.

With the sauce at a watery consistency it is now time to add your cheese, try to add your cheese bit by bit so it doesn't take super long to melt and you don't make it taste too strong, so taste it after you add a bit of cheese.

Once you've finished making the cheese sauce check your pasta as it should be done by now.

A lot of the water must be gone but if there is still water in it like mine simply drain it.

After both the cheese sauce and pasta are ready I poured the cheese into the pasta, word of advice is to pour the food into whatever pot is bigger, for example if you used a bigger pot for the cheese sauce pour the pasta into the cheese sauce this will just make it easier to mix it up.

Now for the best bit mix it all up, just keep on mixing it until you think all the pasta is mixed in perfectly.

Then your done!

I hope you like this post and it was helpful to any of those that want to give it a try

Time for a change | New nails #3

Hey girlies,

today I'm going to show you my new nails, that's part of my 'Time for a change' posts

On Saturday, me and my sister took a trip down to my nail shop to get a refill, after my Christmas nails I have been longing my ass off to change my nails mainly because I didn't really like them to begin with and they were quite boring.

As the time got closer and closer I was all over instagram and pinterest trying to find me some nail inspiration, I screenshot so many nail pictures on my phone that I liked, if you want to check out my nails board on pinterest just click here.

So I found these nails and honestly just loved them right away, at the nail shop I decided to keep the shape and length, however I wasn't to impressed with the way she changed the shape a bit and cut them down, although she didn't make them too short so they are still a decent length.

No surprise I got to the nail shop and couldn't find the exact colour or anything close to it so I opted for this light purple colour I also decided to do a matte because I had seen a lot of matte nails on instagram and pinterest and really loved them.

when the woman painted my nails she did 2 coats of the purple then a top coat and then applied the matte top coat to it, this really toned down the colour of the purple and made it look a lot more dull.

I really love my new nails, however I wasn't too impressed with the way she filed them and how much she cut them down also the nail is not smooth on top and you can see it through the nail polish

But still love 'em though!

Thanks for reading :)

Time for a Change | New hair #2

Hey girlies!

I've got my second 'Time for a change | New hair' post for you guys I feel like it's been so long since I did my first one.

So here goes... before Christmas I wanted to purchase some hair, for Christmas and New Year and I had an idea of what I wanted, so I headed over to AliExpress, I am literally so particular when it comes to my hair, like I hate when I have a vision of what I want my hair to come out like and it just doesn't happen.

My hair inspiration for my hairstyle was the beautiful  Youtuber Beautybyjj, I saw her with this hairstyle on a couple of her instagram posts and in one of her videos and I literally fell in love straight away, before I had seen her with this hairstyle I had really wanted to do a hairstyle with a full fringe but I just thought it looked a bit childish, and a bit not me. So just from seeing this hairstyle I knew right away that I wanted to get straight hair.

 I decided to get the Malaysian Straight I went quite long and got 20, 18, 16 , and 14 inches with a 12 inch free part closure, this all came up to £85.00 which I thought was really good for 4 bundles and a closure. I chose to get this hair simply because I've heard that Malaysian straight hair is really good hair especially for fringes.

Ordering the hair was very risky just because I ordered it on a Wednesday, but thank God the hair came on Monday, the week beginning of Christmas thanks to Jack (the seller) who really pushed and made sure the hair came in time honestly he was so helpful, he answered all my questions and really helped to get the hair here on time.

when the hair arrived, I started instantly, I washed each bundle with shampoo and put in some leave in conditioner, after that I didn't really wait until the bundles were completely dry just dry enough that it's not dripping wet. I then sewed the bundles onto a men's dome cap but first I measured out where my closure would go just so that I know where to stop and there is enough space.I didn't cut any of the tracks whilst sewing I literally just flipped it over whilst going back and forth.

I love this hair, it's so soft and silky there's minimal to no shedding and it doesn't really tangle this hair is so nice. the closure is perfect I hardly had to cut any of the hair for my fringe and the closure lays so flat.

I would so recommend this hair to anyone looking for a long, straight hairstyle, the seller, Jack was amazing! so helpful and was really determined on getting the hair here on time.

OOTD | Casual College Outfit

Hey everyone! :)

I know it's been a really long time since you've heard from me, I had some really good post ideas for Christmas but I was so busy that I had no time for blogging, however I'm back and I have a lot of new posts for you guys, so today I have an outfit of the day post.. here goes.....

So it's after the Christmas break and a lot of you are getting ready to go back to school, college or university and if you are anything like me going back to college is not one of the things that you are super excited about, getting dressed for college I focus mainly on being warm and comfortable so here is my casual college outfit.

Jumper

 My jumper was a gift that I got from my sister for Christmas, I love this jumper it's so warm and soft inside. This jumper is a men's jumper, my sister knows me so well I love to wear men's clothes especially there jumpers because I love the way they fit and the way they feel.

Joggers 

I had only one pair of joggers which I found was weird because I love wearing joggers because they are so comfy and so easy for you to layer up with. I purchased these joggers from Primark in the men's section, I found them to be so cheap and so thick. I also loved that they were not cuffed at the ankle because I had been looking everywhere for a pair of straight joggers.

Puffa Jacket

I was over the moon when I found this jacket me and my sister had been on the hunt for a nice hooded puffa jacket for the longest, so when we spotted this in Primark no doubt we had to get them. This jacket cost £15  which to me was so good considering everywhere else I had looked was £60 and over with no hood. I LOVE this jacket because it's so warm and looks great on.

Trainers

My puma suedes I love I've had them for quite some time now and I haven't worn them in a bit just because the weather over here has been quite wet and rainy and I'm pretty sure most of you know that rain and suede do not go so well. I find these trainers to be so comfortable I can wear them all day and my feet wont hurt or feel uncomfortable I also think that they are really warm which is kinda odd cause there not high tops. I seriously need to get me another pair of these trainers.

Watch

This watch was sent to me by The Watch Hut and I really love this watch because it's so simple and it's not to big so it's nice to wear with simple or casual outfits.

Beanie
I am such a beanie/hat person especially when the weather is quite bad and windy cause if your anything like me you'll know that I can't stand when the wind blows and messes up my hair it puts me in such a bad mood and I just hate it so lately I've been rocking my cute navy beanie with the pom pom on it, it holds my hair in place and keeps my hair covering my ears and neck, keeping me warm.

So this is my casual college outfit, I hope you like it and look forward to my next post which is going to be a hair post on this hairstyle
