Pin Curls VS Flexi Rods

I usually always run to flexi rods when I want to have curly hair but if you read my last post you will know that last night I fancied a change and tried some pin curls! I looked on YouTube for tutorials and found some great ones!

With the pin curls I curled each piece with a straighter (can use a curling iron) and then used my fingers to spiral the hair then pinned each piece on my head. The results in the morning were gorgeous! So it had me thinking.......  Pin curls or Flexi rods

Here's some pics.....

Pin curls before bed

After

Results!

• Pin curls give great volume and bouncy curls to your hair, flexi rods give bouncy curls too but not as voluminous.
• Flexi rods last all day! Like literally until the next day lol, but I'm not too sure if pin curls will as the curls have already dropped a tiny bit.
• Pin curls take longer to put in especially as you have to curl it first (you can probably skip the heat and use your fingers straight away but heat helps to keep them in longer)
• Pin curls are great for messy curls and waves where as flexi rod curls are more uniform and you can separate them to create huge Diana Ross hair! Haha!

So my verdict? Well...I like them both haha! If I knew I was going to be out allll day I would go for flexi's though and if I wanted bombshell hair for a night out pin curls would be where its at!

Pin curls!

Flexi Rod curls!

Which one do you like better?

Late night 60's/Rockabilly attempt!

I didn't fancy putting my hair in the usual flexi rods/flexi rollers so I decided to put it in pin curls! I searched YouTube and found some great tutorials.

 I tied my hair down with a scarf as I always do before sleeping and noticed one of the curls was peeking out of the front which I thought looked pretty cool so I decided to take a few snaps, one thing led to another and the lipstick, eye liner and concealer came out haha! Bare in mind this was before bed LOL.

                                               Eye liner: BYS Black Magic gel eye liner pot

                                               Lipstick: Luoys 2 in 1 Lip gloss and Lipstick

                                              Concealer: Revlon Beyond Natural Concealer & Highlight

Like my curtains? haha

My first Graze Box!

It came! Yay!

I've been eyeing up these little boxes on peoples posts and on adverts for a longgg time so when they started their first box free initiative I jumped at the chance (Hey who doesn't love a freebie!)

Basically you log on to Graze.com and fill in your details then they show you a list of snacks they provide, from porridge to chocolate brownies! (you can also choose from the really healthy options).

You state which ones you like, love and would not like to have in the boxes that get sent to you so you have a better chance of getting the yummy snacks you like!

I ordered mine on Sunday and it arrived today (Wednesday) and they would be every Wednesday unless I choose to cancel,

Here's what arrived!

Inside also was a guide to each sections calories and it also came with some vouchers to give to friends!

Box 1 Copacabana: My faveee! Dark & Milk chocolate buttons & Brazil nuts! Nom!

Box 2 Cookies & Cream: Not bad! Mini chocolate cookies, white chocolate buttons and sunflower seeds..loving the chocolate buttons theme lool the seeds were a bit random though

Box 3 Nacho Libre: Salsa Almonds, Cheesy Sombreros(biscuits), jumbo chilli corn....yummy! nice and fiery

Box 4 Salsa Fresca: Tomato Salsa Fresca with Cheesy Sombreros (biscuits) second fave! The dip was lovely

Have you tried any of the Graze boxes? How did you find them and what did you get?

God Bless

Summer Ball OOTN!

Most uni's have a Summer Ball and my one is no different! It is every year in June and is a lot of fun. The uni gets famous acts to come and perform and they also have things like bumper cars, food, DJ's etc!

This year our headline act was Wiley but we also had The Hoosiers among others!

I wanted to buy a new dress instead of wearing an old one and here is the one that came to mind.....

It's the Topshop fringe dress by Rare London! It comes in a variety of colours such as pinks and creams but I had my heart set on this one!

Also seen on Leigh-Ann Pinnock from the band Little Mix
(All rights reserved)

I've seen this dress range from £65.00 down to £25 and I managed to get mine for £20 from Ebay! Woohoo! (Someone bidded £8 for it but I told the seller I'd buy for £20 haha!)

Here's how it looked..

(Excuse the excessive posing lol!!) 

It is a decent length dress but as you walk it rides up which is why it looks so short in the last picture haha, the bust was slightly big so there was some pulling up involved (pulling up the dress and pulling it down...imagine! lol) but besides that I loved it and received lots of lovely compliments!

Hope you enjoyed this post!

God Bless

Food glorious food! - Soup edition

Different from what I usually post but I feel like a proud parent with the soup I just made for lunch haha! So.Yummy...

I bought a great Tomato & Basil soup from Tesco the other day and thought I would try and make my own version to use up some of the tinned tomato I have lying about and it tastes just as delicious!


Nays Tomato & Basil soup!

Ingredients

• 1 tin of peeled tomatoes (Chopped will do too! or even normal tomatoes boiled down)
• Small amount of chopped ginger (You will notice my measurements are rather vague, I usually just dash & dash as my mum would call it haha!)
• A couple shakes of dried Basil (Fresh is great too)
• Tablespoon of Mango Chutney (Random but WORKS! Adds great flavour)
• Anything to garnish (I used a bit of Rocket)
• Some gorgeous wholemeal crusty bread to dip in

Blend the tinned tomatoes with the basil, ginger, and mango chutney then put in a saucepan on the stove to boil.

Serve in a bowl with the bread on the side and ENJOY!

God Bless
