Saturday Snippet: Short Hair

Hello everyone!

So ... this happened.

Every once in a while, I get the itch to chop off ALL my hair, and I end up with a short haircut. This one is officially called 'side swept crop', but mostly, it's just really short except for the fringe bit haha! Which I think is perfect for when the weather's warmer and I work a lot because otherwise my hair is all in a ponytail, all the time.

This one works much better at the moment!

Saturday Snippet: Hair Ties

Hello everyone!

So this is another one of my random rambling posts late on a Saturday night just before bed. I have roughly shoulder-length hair which I think I have to cut again, but in the meantime I have to tame it somehow. In the past, I've already had problems with broken hair because I used to wear a ponytail ALL THE TIME. All the time.

This time around I'm trying to do the right thing and being healthy, and looking for alternatives to the rigid hair ties is a good way to go, I think.

The alternative I found were these plastic/rubber hair bands, which basically look like those old telephone cords, and work wonders. They do get loose easier than your usual hair band, BUT they don't grab your hair as much and I can actually see the difference when I shake my hair out after a long day of wearing these. I also found some that are made of the regular hair band material and not plastic so that's a bonus, too! I highly recommend them.

Saturday Snippet: Lipgloss

Hello everyone!

Okay so, I've said this before and I will say it again.

I'm no make-up person.

It's the truth; I own a total of one mascara and one concealer, both of which have only found their way into my routine recently because I'm naturally pre-disposed to shadows under my eyes, and the mascara was more or less something my friends foisted on me. They say I have long eyelashes and have to show them, or something.

Back to the topic at hand, which are lipglosses!

Because, for some reason, I have a lipgloss addiction. I can barely walk by those cosmetic stands without at least looking at them, and I usually end up taking at least one home or something.

Those are the ones I currently own, as listed below. The first one is actually so old ... but this is where the fact that it's from a high-quality brand comes into play, because it's still perfect as the day I wore it first, which was at prom. I know the silvery one will be perfect through Christmas time, and while I'm not too sure about the matt I'm sort of going to test it and see. And the Cinderella one ... well, I HAD TO. The last one is the recent purchase from Maybeline though because it's the closest I can come to the first, Max Factor Silk Gloss in tone. I just love the first one and I'm hoping I'll see it again soon. No such luck yet!
