Busy Busy Busy!

So it's been quite a bit of time since I posted! I've been busy doing lots of extra shifts at work, aside from occupying the title of a graduate still looking for a proper job!) 

I have been lightening my friend's hair for quite some time now, and we are almost there with getting it to the desired blonde shade. I will be bleach bathing her hair next time, and I hope to post up and step-by-step on how to do that. It's pretty simple, but as always it's something to be cautious over purely because you will still be working with bleach. When I tried (and failed, BADLY) to achieve this colour I once had, I was mortified when it turned patchy with added bits of silver everywhere! After a lot of panicking and a little bit of research, I bleach bathed my hair twice and as if by magic my lovely blonde hair had made a very welcomed comeback! 

My lovely lavender hair (R.I.P)

So I promise that a step-by-step will be up in a few days, along with a review (or two!) of some products!

Belated Birthday!

So I turned 24 (eek!) last Thursday. I don't know whether I'm liking the fact that I'm one step closer to 'proper' adulthood, as people still mistake me for being 18 or under!

On the actual day my mum suggested we go to Top Golf. I've been a few times with friends and family and we have always had a good time. Each game is 20 balls each, so we decided to play two games as you are in no rush to continuously play. I would recommend this activity if you are looking for something fun and fairly inexpensive to do :)

I'm glad to say I won the first game (Quite pleased with myself as usually I'm rubbish!) but my brother won the second. It was the hottest day of the year as well, so we could say we had a good round of golf on the green! Haha. The nearest place to me is in Chigwell, but I am aware of a few other locations.

Later in the day my older brother, sister-in-law, niece and nephew came over. The kiddies helped me open my presents, one of them was a beautiful ring that my mum got me and inscribed on it was 'my daughter, my love' (which I thought was mega sweet). Afterwards we decided to go to the pub and have some dinner. Me and Pete (my older brother) decided to go for the hottest curry on the menu. Suffice to say.. it was tasty! We returned home and I let the kiddies blow out the candles on my cake :) It was a lovely day; the older I get the more family time becomes important to me!

On Saturday, I went out with my friends to Koko's in Camden for their 'Buttoned Down Disco' event. As my potential attendees were dropping like flies I was thinking flitting from pub to pub was going to be the only answer. On a whim I decided to check Koko's website, I have only been there once before for a gig but I fell in love with the interior of the place! To my surprise I found BDD, an invite only event and it looked quite quirky - just my thing! Eveyone was warm and inviting and it had a nice vibe to the place. I thought it was good the way the invites functioned, as to be kind of exclusive only to those people who had prepared to come beforehand. So I rounded up my girls and we had a super night, I highly recommend it :)

Garden, pubs, more pubs and BDD!

On Sunday against the uncertain weather, I had a BBQ with my family. My mum in typical fashion bought everything you could possibly think of, so needless to say we were well fed and watered :) I shall be cracking on soon with some reviews and such as I feel I have been off the radar lately!
