Curly Hair, What to Wear: Why the Hell did I do that???


This segment is going to be committed to fashion, makeup and, of course, the endless joys of naturally curly hair. I'll post looks, tips, and anything else that comes into my head on this subject.

Why the Hell did I do that???
I could have written my first instalment of this blog about anything. My favourite outfits, my amazing makeup box, posted pictures of myself looking pretty. And I won't deny that I can look pretty when I want to, I have plenty of things like that that I could post, but that's not the real, true, genuine me. So, the (slightly) crazy person that I am, I've decided to share this embarrassing, entertaining, ridiculous story that definitely sums me up pretty well.

 So, people that know me know that I’m normally pretty proud of my appearance. I don't generally need to wear a lot of makeup but when I do, I go all out. I'm also pretty proud of my eyebrows. Surprising if you've seen me recently. (The header pic is what I/they naturally look like).

 Those of you who know me also know that I get easily stressed, and very easily bored. Yeah, I have a very short attention span, and if you know me well you've probably been ignored by me a lot (sorry). So, I have a few ticks when I get bored or stressed, most of them normal, like biting my nails, tapping my fingers, playing with my hair, things like that. The worst one is pulling at my hair.

 I don't pull at the hair on my head like normal people, no, I'll pull at the longer, tempting hairs on my arms or the side of my face. Yesterday, I decided that my eyebrows were the perfect place to relieve the tension. You know when you get that one hair that's sticking out, twisting a bit, kinda starts hurting? No, just me? Well I was suffering from that? Took me a few pulls to get it but boy was it satisfying when I did. By this point, any normal person would have stopped, right? Not me. My monkey brain told me to keep going and keep going; pull hair from eyebrow relax, will look good not awful. This was the god-awful result:

My eyebrow disaster

Yeah. Not good. I immediately sent this picture to my friends, who told me off (a lot). I sent it to my boyfriend, who laughed at it for a good five minutes. I'm a proper idiot, no need to remind me.

 I would have been so lost had I not had the best eyebrow pencil I've ever had: Flormar's brow sculpting duo (pls sponsor me lol). Flormar is an incredible brand I discovered while I was living in Spain (oh yeah, that's a thing I did-- more to come on that later) and this eyebrow pen was life-changing. I went from looking like this deranged idiot with half eyebrows, to this slightly improved version:
Better? Also shout out to Sony for the best headphones I've ever had (worth a shot)

...all in the space of about five minutes. 

 So, for now, I'll be going round looking like an eyebrow-less fool, even with this wonderful pencil at my disposal. 
In the meantime, if anyone has any suggestions on how to make eyebrows grow faster, please let me know in the comments!! (please I'm desperate)

Curly Hair, Been There: The Louvre

Curly Hair, Been There is a segment that explore the different places in the world I have been, and my experiences there.  Paris: The Louvre    So I went to the Louvre last week and I have some thoughts.  It was a nice day and outside, with the famous pyramids and the impressive building, it was a really nice welcome to the landmark. I mean, the whole thing of the Louvre is that it's all nice to look at and it definitely was. I mean, the armed police and street sellers trying to flog their tickets were not so enjoyable, but the rest of it was a lovely introduction to the spectacle.  It's very impressive inside as well, the entrance is like a cave and then there are different passages going to different places and it's really cool.  I will say that it's a little confusing. I had a map, but if you think I can find my way around with or without guidance you are sorely mistaken. I got lost pretty much instantly. I was wandering around statue...

Curly Hair, What's in There?: LaLaLab

Curly Hair, What's in There?  is a segment that will explore the random topics that are always circling my mind, things I want to talk about or things I want to share. LaLaLab So, about a week ago a got an ad on my instagram feed. You know how sometimes you get ads but ignore them, sometimes you get ads that you click on and go through some of the pages of what they're selling, but decide it's too expensive, or you even get to the checkout, only to find the deal isn't what you thought it was? Well, LaLaLab is an ad that I do not regret clicking on. LaLaLab Logo I was intrigued by the idea of cheap photo prints; I think the ad was showing me the photostrips which are something I love, and having small, polaroid-style pictures around my room seemed like a nice way to decorate it; make me feel at home. So, I clicked on the link, uploaded some of my favourite pictures (to be honest I picked a lot from my boyfriend's visit because he'd literally just left P...
