SNEAK PEAK!

Monday, 14 May 2012

Hey there!

I just wanted to give you guys a sneak peak of some things that will be coming up on my blog this week!

1. Hair Tutorial


Last week I tried out a new technique to achieve full, bouncy curls without any heat! I am so excited to share with you all just how I got my hair from fuzzy, frizzy and unruly to bouncy, full and lush ringlets without any heat touching my hair!

2. Make Up Tutorial


Recently I've received quite a few messages asking to show you all how I do my makeup in these photos/ everyday. I finally got around to breaking down what I do actually do each day and wrote it all up for you guys to read, I sure hope you like it! 



3. New Outfit Post


I am going to be sharing with you a new outfit post featuring a really lovely yellow dress that I ordered online from Missguided Fashion (UK). I am totally enamoured with this dress, it is so flowy and lovely, perfect for a warm summer day, it feels really romantic and springy and I am so so excited to show you all!!


I am so excited to finish all of these articles and show them all to you!


In other news, I finally purchased my laptop - my very first laptop! It's beautiful, sleek, shiny and I think I am in love, move aside Jeremy and welcome home, Mac! Macbook Pro that is. I am so happy that I decided to bite the bullet and purchase my Mac, even though it did make a significant dent in my bank account. Originally that was my biggest reason for hesitation, the cost was so high, but now that it's home and I am typing on it I feel zero regret over my purchase.




Oh my goodness, it is so beautiful! 
I feel like a proud parent - I can't help but smile when I look at it.


Hope you all had a lovely weekend and that you're all having a wonderful Monday!
