Its the most beautiful time of the year

Seems like forever since i last did a post like this. I never thought having college 3 days a week could be so busy and exhausting. But it has been. Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday for me, are the only days i get a proper rest and to have time to myself but as it was nice today and Autumn is by far my favourite time of the year, i didn't want to waste a good opportunity to get some nice photo's. The weather is to me, perfect right now, its not too cold you need to take a big fluffy coat when you go out but just cold enough to wear thick tights with a cute dress and a thin jacket/cardigan. Tartan dresses or tops or jackets or leggings are a must have Autumn outfit must have for me. They go with anything really. The colours aren't so bright they look summery or too dark they look like winter colours but in the middle, perfect for Autumn/Fall.  
I thought i would try and keep to the colour theme around my dress. Red's, brown's, green's and blue's and i slight hint of mustard. Red lipstick to go with the red stripes, brown tights to go with the brown, green shoes to go with the green and the blue in my hair and nails kinda goes with the main blue colour. A different shade but still blue ;). I can't believe in 2 months its christmas!! This year has gone crazy fast. Hope you all are enjoying Autumn just as much as i am :)

A New Start

First of all i want to apologise for the lack of posts lately. The past couple weeks have been 1) VERY emotional and challenging and 2) exhausting. 
Three weeks ago, i started college. I'm not going to lie and say the first day was the best day of my life and that i was so happy and felt perfectly okay because, honestly, i didn't at all. I know it wasn't just me who felt terrified and didn't want to be there, i know that but everyone had their own reason to feel how they felt that day. Having a number of panic attacks and crying so much, my make up running all down my face and clinging on to my dad, wasn't exactly how i wanted to start college. But after a few days, i started to be more myself and open and eventually made some friends. Which i am very pleased about! But i think the main thing i have learnt is to just face your fears. Because if you do it over and over and over again, it will be less scary. Yeah of course you will still have that fear there at the back of your mind, but it can't do anything to harm you unless you let it. And that is a big thing i have learnt this past couple weeks. My anxiety and panic attacks are still always going to be with me, but i just try and not let it take over me and stop me doing things i want to do. They can't take over me or harm me as long as i don't let it.
College now is amazing. It is 100% better than school and a lot better than i thought it would be. I'm still not used to getting up at half 6 in the morning but i will do soon (i hope).


On the other hand and no surprise here...I have, yes you have guessed it...dyed my hair again. Opppsie! My habit and addiction for dying my hair is getting out of hand a bit now. I am very surprised my hair isn't dead or falling out yet. But i kinda got a little bit bored of just being purple so i just had to put blue init. For anyone who wants to know what colours i used. For the purple i used LIVE XXL and for the blue i used Manic Panic. (WARNING- the manic panic hair dye is very runny and liquidity)

Hair Tips

As promised, here is my bright coloured hair top tips you may or may not want to know.
For starter's i have been dying my hair since i was 12ish and i am now 16. So i have had my experience of dying my hair. These are all the colours i have had since the start of this year (2014). The most asked question i get either on instagram or facebook is "what hair dye do you use?"
The main hair dye i have been using and which seems to be the best one for me is LIVE XXL. It has to be the most easiest hair dye i have used so far. All you have to do, is put it on damp hair and leave it for half an hour- an hour. Depends how bright you want your hair to be. Personally i leave mine in for an hour. To also make sure it goes brighter, i usually bleach either just my roots or all over. If you do bleach your hair, just remember to put a hell of a lot of conditioner on your hair after for a week or so. Just to make sure it doesn't feel strew like after. Also, try not to wash your hair too much, otherwise it will fade a lot quicker. Maybe wash it every other day. But if it does start to fade, just put a bit of the hair dye mixed in with the conditioner.
I currently hair purple hair and i have had it for maybe a week and it hasn't faded one bit. Purple has to be by far the best colour i have been. EVER.

If any of you are thinking of dying your hair bright colours, i hoped this has helped :D

Snow White

And the white/bleaching blonde hair is back. For the past couple of months or so, i really wasn't happy with my hair at all. It was just a mess, but thankfully it's getting sorted this week. This morning, my mum bleached my roots and all the uneven parts. All in all, it's 100x better then it was. I don't really like being blonde, in my mind it's just plain and boring on me so hopefully, fingers crossed, this weekend after i get it cut and shaped, i will be going a very bright odd colour again. 



 um...i kind of got a little bit selfie crazy. Well thats what happens when you have nothing better to do on a Thursday afternoon ;)

Happy Easter

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE :) I have had a very very very stressful and eventful Easter sunday today. Who need's a easter egg when you have hair dye? If you read my last post, you will know that i was in a pickle of what hair colour to go next. It was between red or orange/ginger. As you can tell by the very last pictures i have gone ORANGE :D and oh my god it took some time.
For people who don't know or who haven't read my blog before. I had kind of candy floss pink hair. I loved  having pink hair but it was so much effort to keep a nice colour as it faded a lot. That's why i decided to go a permanent colour.
First of all, i had to strip the pink out of my hair so it didn't go a weird and horrible colour. This has to be the most difficult way ever to strip hair ever! It took about 2-3 hours just to strip my hair.
 And it didn't even work properly. Instead of it stripping off the pink and then going back to my normal colour(blonde) it decided to go blue and silver. I have no idea if it was actually meant to go this colour as iv never stripped my hair before, and to be honest, it made my hair feel like straw, it was horrible! i am never going to do that again.
 This is the hair colour product i got for my hair. Iv never used this one before and i really don't know why because i think it has to be the best hair dye i have ever used. It wasn't exactly easy to put on well because my hair was literally like straw but it did the job well. I had to use 3 boxes for my hair, as it is pretty long and thick.
 Andddd TAADAAAA! The final result. I am over the moon with my hair. I love it sooooo much. It is a lot brighter then i thought it would be, but i think, brighter is better. I really hope this hair colour lasts better then the pink, even thought it is a permanent colour, i'm not sure if it will fade fast or not. Finger's crossed it doesn't! 

I hope you all had a good Easter :) i know i did!

OOTD

 This is what i like to call my "skater but yet cute" kind of outfit. This is just a an outfit you will see me wearing all the time. It's comfy, practical and simple. I love how just wearing a "going out dress" dress with vans or converse really does work and look nice together. I have a thing for black jeans at the moment. People say that black goes without everything and i didn't believe them...until i got black jeans. I have tried to keep with the color theme. Wearing a grey and white dress with grey and white socks. Pink hair with a pastel pink collar and a pastel pink cardigan (but i forgot to put it on in these photos) and last of all black jeans with dark blue shoes.

Candy Floss

eeeeeek! i FINALLY have the hair color i have always wanted! It's a lot brighter then i thought it would be, but i don't care. As long as it's pink i am happy! I am one of the lucky one's when it comes to dying my hair. I have dyed it soooo many times, i don't even know anymore, and my hair has never gone like straw or been badly damaged. So i'm one of the lucky ones. For anyone who wants to know what dye i used, there is a picture of it on the previous post i did. EEEEEEKKKKK

Odd one out

eeeeek!! i am just too excited! by the end of this week i am going to have pink hair!! I have always wanted pink hair but i couldn't dye it until i finished school, but because i'm not going to school anymore i can finally dye it!! I like to be different then everyone else, i don't really like to be the center of attention and to stand out too much, but what's fun to look like everyone else? Plus i don't like to be plain and boring. I like to have weird things, things which no one else really likes. For example, i have a purple nose ring with a big black ball on it and a long bar going through the top of my ear (scaffolding piercing). If i didn't have these, i wouldn't be me.
