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, What's in There? Queer Eye

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. Queer Eye Right, so if you are in any way aware of current popular culture, you'll have heard of Queer Eye, the Netflix reboot of the classic show where five gay men (the so-called "Fab Five") makeover people. Season three landed on Netflix yesterday (March 15) and I am living, I've already watched it all. If you've not already seen this show, lemme tell you why you should. First off, it's not your typical makeover show. Like yeah, I get it, you're thinking "it's a bunch of fashion conscious gay guys so it is" but it's really not. I mean, they do have aspects of that, they makeover their wardrobe, their look, their living space, but they do so much more. In just a week, they seem to makeover peoples' lives. As well as the three aforementioned aspects, ther...

Curly Hair, Been There: Lille

Curly Hair, Been There is a segment that explore the different places in the world I have been, and my experiences there. Living in Paris is interesting enough, but feeling spontaneous I decided to travel to a different city. So, I went to Lille for a day. Curly Hair, Been There: Lille I took a Thalys train from Paris Nord to Lille Flandres, which took just over an hour and cost me only £18. I got up suuuper early and I arrived in Lille just before 10am.  I left the station (massive and cool btw) to be greeted by this lovely sight: It turns out there was some Hispanic celebration going on (dorado something or other) and so there was lots of cool decor everywhere. Not only were there those statues, there were also these ribbons: and these ofrendas:  I walked over to the shopping mall, Euralille, (huge) because of course I needed a coffee, so I sat down in Starbucks and planned my day. I decided that from the mall I'd go and find the main sq...
