Let It Snow...

*What I'm Wearing*

Jumper and Jeans (still maternity shamefully) are both from Next and my boots are Uggs. 

I am so in love with this jumper (link) it was a gift to myself... I've wanted a chunky knit forever so when I found one I actually liked i had to have it! I'm so picky about knitwear. I've been living  in these jeans lately... still feel absolutely huge but trying to remind myself Milo is only 11 weeks old. It's not long 'til Vegas now though and the bikini pressure is getting to me! I've upped my Zumba class to twice a week and given up coke and popcorn (my two vices) in an attempt to aid the weight loss but only time will tell and I'm just not a dieter or gym bunny so it's the best I can do.

The only thing I asked for on my birthday... SNOW!!!

 And here's how i spent the rest of my day...

Breakfast in bed, presents, shopping and champagne (it was also our one week anniversary so we had a bottle in the fridge.. we're not usually so fancy) I especially loved my popcorn "cake"

I picked up a few bits from Boots which I'll show you in another post and finally got my hands on the Naked II palette (it was my present from Mum) so that in itself pretty much made my day.

SNOW DAY!

Well... It's a snow day!
I can't get out of my drive and my train has been cancelled even if I could. Ellas school has even been closed! But she's making the best of it...



When I went to bed last night I thought the snow was thick.. Lee was sent home early and the roads were treacherous...



But that was nothing compared to what I woke up to this morning!




It's like Narnia!



I was up half the night.. The snow makes it so light I really struggle to sleep so I was kind of relieved to go in and put my pjs back on..
I think a sofa day in front of the new sky christmas channel will do nicely :)

What are you all doing on this snowy day?

colour control freak?

"Cher lives to do makeovers, it gives her a sense of control in a world full of chaos"

Never have truer words been spoken.

I was pondering today my hair colour addiction and the conclusion I came to was that the rest of my life is so out of my control, my personal appearance (especially my hair) is the one thing I can change on a whim.

I am in that phase again, my colour is fading, the ends are in bad condition and it's at an awkward length.. the shortest layers are WAY too short. The condition means the natural wave looks like I've not brushed it in weeks and I'm avoiding straightening to hopefully improve that but in the mean time I'm left with BAD HAIR!?!?

I want to colour it because the roots and red and the ends are light brown. My options are dye dark again (and face this same problem in 2 weeks when it fades) or go lighter... my plan of attack with this would be to use ColourB4. If you didn't already catch my video on this the last time I went lighter here is the link for you now.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxV9OBmLT14

I loved the effect it had.. it was amazing! it lightens so well.. I did go a ginger colour but I had a lot of colour build up and I was very dark... my hair is a lot lighter now.. I'm thinking if I did that I might be able to colour over a light brown and minimise the damage done by repeated dyeing and and the fading.

*unrelated side note*

I'm currently re-watching the proposal and ahhh Ryan Reynolds in dreamy!

*anyway...*

So I'm torn... my hair is quite literally doing my head in.

I know myself well enough to do something to in in the next week... if not day. If I had my car today, on my day off I would have surely driven to the local shop this morning to buy supplies.. probably best I don't.

now I'm going to make a cup of tea and eat the rest of these mini muffins that have been staring at me.. and continue to look for celeb hair-spiration on google images until 3.15 when I pick up the baby from school.

Have a great snow day y'all
