New HairCut........
Well... I had put it off long enough & was in need of a good haircut :)
After having my daughter 9 months ago i lost alot of hair, i usually have really think hair but it was falling out badly & now it has started to grow back BUT... it was driving me crazy as i hjad little tufts all at the front & everywhere so i wanted a cut to blend them in & let them grow along with the rest of my hair so.... I went for a full fringe :) Something i have never had before.. What do you think??
Now the next step is Stripping out the black (I bought the Colour B4) & dying it a vibrant red!!!

I passed My Theory Test.... Go Me!!!!
I took my Theory driving test last week (30-3-10) I PASSED!! Woo Hoo!
I was so pleased with myself, i have been taking driving lessons for a while now but have been putting off doing the theory as i get very nervous on tests, I have always been the same, my mind just goes blank :) No idea how i'm goinmg to get through the practical! lol!
But... What i actually wanteed to write the block about was.. The practice discs you can but for your pc to help you prepare for the actual test. I very stupidly bought one from Ebay months ago & oh what a surprise it was a dodgy one, which i didnt realise until the day before my throery test! AArrgghh!!!!
It only had 150 questions on the disc (which i had learned) But.. There are 900 questions all together!!!
So you can imagine total panic set in, i had to fly to the supermarket (Tesco) & but a practice disc from there the night before, i practiced & practiced all that evening & the following morning totally convinced i was going to fail :(
But i didnt!!!! Woo Hoo!!
So basically be warned DON'T BUY THE PRACTICE DISC OFF EBAY!!!! Get a legit one from any good supermarket....
Now i've to just just get ready for my practical!!! panic, panic, panic lol!!!
Have a good day :) :)

Finally Finished.....
Woo Hoo!!! Finally it is finished :)
I started this kit a few weeks before my daughter was born, She is now nearly 8 months old!
As soon as she was born the poor kit got left in a cupboard :(
I fianlly picked it back up a few days ago & have finally managed to finish it.
The kit is called Vervaco- Lips, It is beautiful shades of Black, Grey & White & stitched on 14ct White Aida. All together i think it took me about 3 weeks to create.
I have to say im quite pleased with the turn out!!
What do you think?????

My Nails For Today.....

Nail polish for today... :)

Nail polish for today.....
This polish is CND -Plumville<>>
This polish went on really well, i was nicely surprised, i could have got away with only 1 coat but decided on 2 anyway as polish always chips fast on my nails (yes they are my own nails not falsies lol) people ask me all the time if i have false nails lol!

I bit,chewed & ravashed my nails for over 17 years, believe me they were a mess, i still remember my dad making me wear gloves in the house to try & stop me biting them lol!
Anyway back to the polish, it covers really well & the brush is just the right size for easy application, i can say i will be buying more of these.... I do really like them

Laser Eye Surgery.....
Ok this is something i feel alot about......
I had laser eye surgery 5 years ago with Ultralaze & i now have 20/20 vision Hooray!!!
I just wanted to right this blog as i know there are folk out there who are maybe considering it but are scared or worried, believe me i was one of them people, i was terrified! BUT it was the best thing i ever did.
It is scary as you have no clue exactly as to what they are going to do, its ok for them to try & tell you but its totally different when your laid on the bed with a huge machine over your head making very scary noises at you!
I have to say one major thing which is YOU DONT FEEL A THING!! IT IS TOTALLY PAINLESS.
The only part i found uncomfortable was the suction part as apparently i have small deep set eyes but like i say it was uncomfortable not painful. Plus they do offer you a sedative if you are very nervous!
ok once you have had the laser done, you will need sunglasses as your eyes will be very light sensative & i mean very, my experience was as soon as i walked outside into the daylight i couldnt even open my eyes so i really suggest you have someone go with you (i had my mum).
It doesnt last long but you need to wear sunglasses for 2 weeks if you are outside & glasses with non-prescription lenses for 2 weeks too to prevent dust going into your eyes while they heal.
Oh & one major thing NO MAKE-UP FOR 2 WEEKS!!! AARRGGGHH!!!! LOL!
The aftercare from ultralase was fantastic too, they were always on the other end of the phone if i needed them.
the day i had my treatment i came home & fell asleep (prob with all the worrying lol) i was woken up by my son coming in from school, i opened my eyes & could actually see his face so clear for the first time without the aid of glasses or contacts, i was so overwhelmed i cried!
This is just my experience, everyone is different & my advise is to ask all the questions you want & look into it all. my eyes cost £2500 but the way i see it i was buying new glasses every 2 years & contacts every months along with cleaning solutions so to me it was an investment!
I really hope this has helped some people, if anyone wants to ask me anything else about it then please leave me a comment :)

For My Daughter...♥
So this was one of my gifts for my daughter, i stitched the Cinderella & Ariel before she was born & saved the middle aperture for a newborn photo of her (which was taken by her godmother)
I was really pleased at how well they turned out, i stitched them on printed 14ct Aida, they have little pink lines running through the cloth. The kits were Vervaco.

It's my Birthday today "14th Feb"
Well i spent a nice day with my family, it's my first birthday with my beautiful daughter, which was amazing :) (she's only 6 months)
I had my handsome 3 year old son singing "Happy Birthday" to me which was totally adorable.
I even got a birthday card from my eldest son & his girlfriend (he's 16) he even bought it himself lol!
It has just been a lovely day with friends & family popping in throughout the day.
Also to everyone......
Botanics Day Shift Moisture SPF 12 Cream
I recently purchased the Boots Botanics Day shift Moisture Cream, so far i am liking it alot.... As it says it is a cream & it is rather thick (which is what i need, i have quite dry skin)
I was using the Clinique Redness solutions but i ran out & wanted to try & find a cheaper alternative ( i only seemed to need the redness solution while i was pregnant)
I do like this cream, i have only been using it a few days but my skin is soft & my foundation goes on well, with no dry patches.
only downside is i have to wait a good 15-20 mins for it to soak in before applying my make-up. which for me isnt really a problem as i normally get broken off during my make-up application to tend to my kids! :)
The cream also smells nice, it has a nice clean, fresh frangrance to it, not too strong or overpowering.
The price is £4.99 at Boots & at the moment the whole Boots Botanic range is on offer at 3 for 2 (cheapest item free)
I have to say that trying this product hasmade me want to try others so i'm going to have another wander to my Boots store very soon :)

E.L.F- Undereye concealer & Highlighter Rave....
I have to say i have tried a lot of concealer in my time & have found most to be very drying or chalky BUT I LOVE this concealer ♥
It is so easy to use, it blends really well & i dont look like i have got dry patches anywhere
I bought the light as i am fairly pale
I use the concealer under my eyes & even my eyelids & it covers well, I use the highlighter in the inner corner just to brighten my eye..
I am most def going to be buying more of these so i have plenty of back ups
I ♥ E.L.F!!!!

Face for today - New Revlon Photoready Foundation
This is my look for today using my new Revlon Photoready foundation in 004 Nude...
(sorry photo not very good, i dont own a camera so i use my phone ☺) I have to say i really really like it & taking a photo was great, normally i look very gaunt in photo's but i think my skin look quite flawless. i do have dark circles red patches on my face & this product covered really well, i didnt even need to use alot of concealer....
I applyed with a MAC 190 foundation brush & set with my mineralized skinfinish natural in medium.
So big thumbs up for me ♥ ☺
Essie- Matte About You
Firstly i have to say i really like this product, I love matte polishes but some of them can be quite pricey But with "Matte about you" its not a problem....
You simply paint your nails as normal & allow to dry fully, then apply a thin coat of Essie- Matte about you & let dry, you can actually see the polish turn matte, ♥ It's amazing ♥
No more having to buy expensive matte polishes, you can use this product on any polish of any brand.
If anyone was wondering i bought mine off Ebay for about £7.95 but its well worth it!!

I love my nail polishes, after years of biting & totally ruining my nails i finally managed to grow them, now i buy nail polishes more than anything else
Recently purchased Sephora by OPI- Skinny Jeans. I am really looking forward to trying this out, I also bought Sephora by opi - Metro chic
I really do like these mucky,dusty colours. I did have to purchace these from Ebay as they are not sold in the UK! So if anyone know of brands & colours in the mucky grey scale please let me know.. :)

Finding the time...........
First of all i have to say i totally & utterly love & adore my children BUT.....
It is so hard sometimes to find any time for myself, I have 3 children & 2 of them are under the age of 4!
I need me time!!!!!!! It drives me nuts sometimes
By the time i have sorted the little ones out in a morning with breakfast, washing & dressing it's almost dinnertime (12 noon)
then its trying to put my Slap on! Sometimes it takes me nearly an hour & thats because i have to run in & out to sort the kids AARRGGHH!!!
Oh & dont get me started on teenagers....... They are more stressful that little ones (at least mine is)
I tell you know wonder i have high blood pressure lol! :)
Anyway thats my rant for the day :)

Homemade All Natural LipBalm
I have always had trouble with dry lips, so i decided to after spending a lot of cash on loads of lip balms & butters to try & make my own with ingredients i knew to be good for the skin.
I started out putting the balm into pots which was ok but i found that they were alot harder that way so i bought lip balm tubes instead which i find alot easier.
Now i have friends & family using my balms & they love them!
