Merry Christmas

Well it has definitely been a while hasn't it! Since my last post I have most definitely let the blogging side of things slip. My youtube channel has definitely picked up a bit and I cannot believe that I have managed to amass the subscribers that I have. Unfortunately I'm not going to be writing much tonight as it is christmas eve, but I just wanted to update now that my blog actually looks a little bit better, and I'll hope to try and update the blog with written posts about once a week.

Have a wonderful holiday everyone and I will speak to you all soon.

FIRST YOUTUBE, NEXT...THE WOOOORRRLLLDDDD

OK, so maybe that was slightly dramatic for the start of my first personal blog post, but I am very excited at the moment and by gum I just can't contain myself. My dear friends I have just hit 500 subscribers on my Youtube channel and I am happy as a pig in mud. I will do a proper long winded thank you video that you guys deserve at some point but I want it to be just right for all you wonderful people that have supported me so much, my love and hugs go out to you all.

So as those of you who have come here from my Youtube will know I have been on something of an uploading spree lately. I had to take a couple weeks break from it all for some personal reasons, and when it's all resolved itself I'm sure I'll tell you guys all about it.

So in the past couple weeks other than doctors appointments and what not I haven't really been up to much. Other than working on my blog and Youtube, helping my very pregnant sister paint her house and sorting out my desk area that main attraction was my boyfriend Richs dads wedding. It was a particularly interesting event as it was the first time that I got to meet all of his extended family! Of course I went into the day absolutely bricking it and looking around for the nearest escape route (as anyone would do when meeting the family for the first time) But even fifteen minutes into the wedding I could tell that my fears were absolutely un founded. I could not have met a nicer group of people. They were really open and welcoming to me, they were also really receptive of my band (we were the entertainment at the reception). So all in all it was an amazing day and the wedding itself was beautiful.

You guys are going to have to let me know if you like posts like this of my day to day life then I will do more of them. Anyway I won't be uploading anything in the next couple days as I am going camping with some friends of mine but I will see you wonderful creatures of the Internet when I return.

As a goodbye present I give you all a picture of my boyfriend in a suit (he was the best man)

When in doubt, Shoot the ground.

The great hair experiment pt.1

 

So I have decided to take it upon myself to test out some age old hair staples, but from a different view point. As someone who used to have hair that stretched all the way down to my butt I will be the first to admit that short hair can be something that can take some getting used to. Certain things that I used to do with my hair all the time I just haven't done in a while because I seem to have become accustomed to the limitations of short hair.

So what I have planned to do is take some staple hair techniques that most people with hair below their shoulders use on a day to say basis and see if they can be transferred over to those of us with slightly shorter cuts. 

So for the first part of The Great Hair Experiment I am going to be testing out a hair technique that used to a regular on my list of hair tips and tricks:

Putting wet hair in plaits to achieve wavy hair

Now I don't know about you guys out there but I haven't had plaits in my hair for a very long time. One thing that I have to deal with, having short hair that's thick enough to house a small family of borrowers in, is the problem that if I go to sleep with even the slightest bit of moisture in my hair I wake up looking like something out of the lion king. This is a particularly big problem for me as unless when I'm making tutorial videos I as a rule do not blow dry my hair as part of my routine to keep my hair as healthy as possible. This never used to be an issue for me as most of the time I would just plait my hair and in the morning I would wake up with lovely soft waves.

SO! I would like to test whether or not the same look can be achieved with short hair and french braids. My hair only just reaches my shoulders at the moment, so after I braid it there's barely any point in tying up two separate plaits. So instead I take the two ends and wrap them around each other in a braid bun. So here we go, I shall report back in the morning with my findings.

TA DAAAAAAAAA!

Well first off I thought I would show you how my hair held up sleeping in plaits all night. Now I don't know about you guys but I am terrible when I sleep, I toss and turn and wriggle all over the place like a mad woman so I was pretty much expecting to wake up in the morning with half of my hair just randomly hanging out all over the place. So I was rather surprised to find my hair had behaved it self so well.

             
                        

When I eventually did take the plaits out (I needed my customary morning tea first of else I would have turned into the bitch monster from hell) I was very surprised with just how well it had worked! When I went to sleep my hair wasn't very wet, but there was still some moisture in it so I wasn't expecting the curls to be as defined as they were. The hair felt lovely and soft when I let it down and the curls themselves were lovely and defined without being too ringlet like.

The pictures below show what it looked like after I gave it a bit of styling. All in all I think I can definitely call this little experiment a success!! I don't know how this technique would work for shorter hair as the curls would be pretty random, but for someone like me who has just about shoulder length hair I definitely think this is definitely something that I will be doing more often from now on.

       

(Here's a picture of the hair the next day as well, so you can see how well the curls hold)
