Dyeing My Hair Red

Yep, just a quick post to inform you all that my hair is now red....I've been toying with the idea of having blue hair so bleached it ready to lay on that mermaid turquoise all up in there, and then my sister was like "why not go red first, and then it'll be easier to strip after you get bored to put the blue on" ....so I did, thinking I'd only have it red for a week but I actually really like it. 

So I guess I'm going to be red for a while

 Call me Ed Sheeran, but without the amazing talents :-) 

Also, I have a new fancypants DSLR camera, so frickin excited, but I'll save him for another post (Yes, I said him, my camera is a he) 

More pics and a step by step coming.....if you want that is ...lemme know x  

Review: Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara

Just thought I'd start by mentioning the fact that I went to the gym twice today...BOOYAAAH!! 

Helllllllllooooooooooooooooo my beautiful people! Hope all is well... I haven't done a review in a while so I thought I may as well do one on this awesome mascara I bought today....It was my day off and I was bored so I decided to browse some shops, actually no, scrap that. It was my day off and I was bored, but I already had in mind that I wanted to go and check out some mascaras, just didn't know which one. So guess where I went to; Superdrug? No. Boots? No my dear. Sephora? We don't have that here so no..actually we might, I dunno, that was the only other place I could think of. But no, I didn't go there anyway so I don't know why I just waffled on about it for a bajillion years. I went to Wilko (Wilkinsons) aka: The Narnia of everything; they have the make-up brand Essence which to my knowledge we don't have any solo stores in the Uk. 

So, onto the mascara...

I actually bought two but I don't like the other one so I might just put that in a separate review. This one is called "Lash Princess- False lash effect mascara". The product claims that the "conic" shape of the brush "provides lashes with length and dramatic volume as well as false-lash effect" 

Did it lie? No 

Your Honour I believe my subject is talking nonsense. 

Ahhh... I thought you would say such. Let me refer you to EXHIBIT A: 


No mascara: 

EXHIBIT B: After one coat of mascara: 

EXHIBIT C: After 3 coats, and then about a bajillion more

Your Honour, I rest my case.....

No but seriously, I think this is my new favourite mascara...and by "I think" I mean "I know".... Quick Pros and Cons 

Pros: Thick formula grips onto lashes 
          Actually lengthens and adds volume at the same time 
          Really good brush 
          I can't tell if I like the packaging or not, it's kind of cute and kind of cheap looking at the same time. But I like the lid so yeh. 
        Le price: This baby cost me £2.30... SAY WHAAAAAT?? Yes milady, two pounds and thirty pence, I think we all know that's a bargain. 

Cons: Not waterproof which means that panda eyes are a risk (if you plan on wearing it to the gym, or crying...don't know why you would plan to cry but whatever) 
          Too many coats leads to spider lashes 

Overall rating: 8/10 

Friday Inspiration: "Be somebody who makes everybody feel like somebody"

I just thought I'd share this with you guys. It's so easy to get caught up in our own struggles, we forget about those of others. Every person on this Earth is fighting their own battle, some more silent than others; and some are fighting them alone. Just small things like politeness, consideration, and friendliness can really make a difference in people's lives. It seems like such basic things but nowadays it seems like even those are being forgotten. Maybe if we spread more love and encouragement, online and face-to-face we can help change the world, one step at a time. 
I pray you all have a blessed weekend, and whatever you are going through, I pray you overcome it.

Review: BooTea Detox Tea

Well hello there....long time indeed...no for real, it's been like 4 months...I've missed you guys!!!! 

"Where have you been?", I hear no-one ask. Well, to cut a long story short. Work. Work is where I have been. Work, and the gym, and in bed, and in the fridge, and work some more, and a theatre production I was in at the end of last year, and then at work again, after spending some quality time in the fridge. So yes, I've been very busy. 

Enough waffling.... *cutting to da chaaaaaaase*


So, I wanted to get back on my health kick after 3 weeks of intense cr*p eating and no gym. It wasn't at all a "NEW YEAR NEW ME" thing... I don't really believe in that... NEW YEAR, SAME ME is my motto... but yeh, my body felt the impact of my poor diet and lack of exercise so I wanted a fresh slate...which meant I was looking for some sort of detoxifying product, a friend recommended BooTea to me, and after reading some reviews I thought why not??

Answer being: It's £20. For tea.

But I ignored that and bought it anyway

First impressions: 

The tea bags were actually really adorable, they weren't made of the usual teabag material, whatever that is...paper? 

Tastes nice. Pretty much tastes like your standard herbal tea...the flavour is like a cross between green tea and liquorice. 
What else do you want me to say? It's tea...





*Btw I'm writing this post whilst listening to The Spice Girls- Viva Forever....*so many feels!!

But yeh...next: 
The results: 

To be honest I wasn't expecting anything amazing, I just thought it would be a nice tea to add to my collection, that might help cleanse my system more than the £1.50 green tea I usually drink. It did nothing of the sort. It actually had the opposite effect and really messed my system up for at least two weeks after. I felt sick, as in I felt like I was going to throw up a couple of days into drinking it. Had really bad stomach cramps as well, and not a cleanse was cleansed if you follow my drift.... 

So I stopped taking it after a week, and couldn't drink my usual green tea either because that made my stomach hurt as well...In all fairness, everyone's bodies are different, maybe mine just didn't take well to it. Or maybe it was repulsed at the idea of me spending £20 on tea....I had a similar response the time I spend £7.20 on a salad from Harrods....but that was more of a "I don't know who I am any more!!!..... what have I become???!!!" moment. 

In conclusion, it didn't work for me, but it may work for others, I know a few people who have used it and saw results, so it's worth a try. If not for the physical benefits, the psychological benefits. By that I mean whilst drinking this you'd probably be less likely to want to eat junk food because you're "cleansing" so you could be doing your body some good. That being said, you can probably get that same impact from making a conscious decision to eat better. And that won't cost you £20. Just saying.

I'M BAAAAAAACCCCKKK (From America)

Yeh, I didn't even tell you guys I was going to America so shame on me!! I haven't done a blog post in months, think I've forgotten how to write! 

Let's start by saying hello. Hello guys...I've missed you all very much

Now a quick explanation of why I've been so absent: 

1. PERFORMING..Had a show at The Courtyard Theatre which I was rehearsing for for months. The play was called Love and Information by Caryl Churchill...it went well, I got really good feedback for it :-) 
2. WORK....that's pretty self explanatory. I work full time. 
3. GYM. My second home...think I'm going to do an update post of my gym/healthy eating routine and results because I've been quite happy with how it's been going
4. AMERICA. I just got back last night so my body clock is crazy right now. Went for a performing arts convention in Orlando. It was AMAZING! One of the best experiences of my life! I met so many amazingly talented and beautiful people, never knew I could grow so close to people in such a short space of time, but I did, and I thank God for blessing me with these people. 

So. Photo time :-) ...I'll post some on my Instagram too, but these are a few of my favourites  (Leeo7,  holla!!) 

Out for 15 minutes and this is how much I sweat...I don't sweat that much at the gym!!

Hello Mr and Mrs double rainbow <3

Enough said.

Just casually meeting BATMAN

They are called Avenger.
