Dying my hair pastel pink!

I've wanted to dye my hair pastel pink for ages but I wanted to wait until I'd had my roots done! When I had my roots done I had a full fringe cut and decided it would look even better if it was pink ;) I used Crazy Colour Candyfloss, after their Marshmallow has absolutely no affect on my hair... I had to use 2 bottles and it still came out patchy, so next time I'm going to try Directions Pastel Pink and see if it's just my terrible hair dying skills that are the problem! Here's the finished product!

 

And here's my video on how I did it :)

How to make a fake tattoo tutorial [video]

Here is my tutorial on how to make a fake tattoo! I hope you enjoy it :D

Fake tattoo tutorial coming soon!

I made a fake tattoo today and filmed myself drawing it :)
I'll be uploading the video in the next few days, but heres some photos of how it turned out:

My first tanning experience!

To start off; I'm not a beauty therapist or a health professional. I'm basically useless in both those areas. Tanning has been linked to a lot of bad stuff, so please do your research and speak to a beauty therapist or a health professional before undertaking any type of UV tanning. Thank you! ~

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I've got a little holiday coming up at the beginning of next month, and I thought that since I've been pasty white all my life, I might as well give tanning a try. My favourite beauty place has tanning 'showers' where you stand up, rather than the scary look-like-you're-gonna-be-shut-in tanning beds, so if you're looking for a review of those, you've come to the wrong place!

The place I go to is really great; they're very straight forward and pretty cheap (I think!). They got me sorted out with some tanning lotion that suited my skin tone (and smelt like peaches!) It was £5.50 for 5 minutes tanning and some lotion which, since I'm only planning on going once or twice a week, is pretty good! They also offer more if you buy sessions in bulk, so ask at your local beauty salon if they do a similar deal.

The tanning showers are really neat, they're stand alone, each in their own little changing room so if you want to get your kit off no ones going to see you! The showers are token operated; basically one token is 2.5 minutes tanning. I was provided with a little hair net and goggles (since the UV will hurt your eyes if you leave them unprotected...imagine staring directly into the sun for 5 minutes then times that by 100).

So you pop the tokens in and shut the doors: simple!!
Unless you're me and don't realise that you have to close the doors until halfway through, and up until that point have been turning yourself around to make sure you get every angle...ummm. What makes it worse is I remember the beautician telling me exactly what I needed to do.
Also don't be alarmed by the second token falling into the slot....its not someone about to open and see you in all your pasty white glory.
Oh, and when the shower turns off....no...there are still lights on....just take the goggles off
(Maybe I should emphasise this was my first time tanning!!)

So, once I'd actually shut the doors, it was like being in a very hot bright room, but not in an uncomfortable way! 5 minutes was just long enough for me, I'll probably go for 5 next time and then 7.5 after! I don't want to overdo it since my skin really isn't used to it!

I'm only going down south for my holiday but its quite a bit hotter down that way and I'd rather not get burnt straight away! Hopefully having a few tanning sessions will help my skin get used to the UV and I won't burn as much, but I don't really want to make it a regular thing. I'm also hoping it will help my acne a little bit, but we'll have to see :)
