P.S. Get yourself some Percy in the Pinks NOW…SO good!
In my dreams I have super silky, perfectly straight, vibrant red managable hair. That and a personal hairdresser. In reality I have wavy, thick (seriously…so much hair!) and somewhat wild hair that is in dire need of both a good cut and colour. Unlike my Mother, and most other people that I know I wasn’t blessed with a natural ability to take my locks and so I rely on heavy duty tools such as professional hair dryers and rather a lot of products just to make myself decent enough to leave the house!
Right now I am quite taken with this hair dryer; not just for the fabulous colour I promise! It’s also a fantastic price and gets good reviews.
I guess my purpose for this post really is a plea for HELP!
Feel free to hit me up with:
– links to styles that would suit thick/lots of it wavy hair
– colours, do I take a break from red?
– favourite products
– suggested tools to help tame the beast!
Are you good with hair? Or as hopelessly lost as I am?

Monsoon Fusion apple print dress (from 2 years ago), Tesco tights, Poetic License shoes. An outfit made up of old favourites, both the dress and shoes were major sales bargains and despite the weather not reflecting the spring time, I felt like bringing about some of those summery memories.
Mae is utterly exhausted after a long weekend/week exploring the garden, she slept for pretty much all of yesterday (she snores). There is something so calming about a sleeping cat.
Anyone else finding this week feels exceptionally long despite the bank holiday? It feels like it should be Friday at least! Time is doing funny and cruel things at the moment. Ah well, a morning of blood taking awaits me, then one more day and it IS the weekend.

Dressing up season has arrived; weddings, proms, garden parties, it wouldn’t be Summer without an excuse to pull on your prettiest dresses, and they don’t come much prettier than these beauties from the just launched second season of the ASOS Salon Collection.

Ultra-feminine in sugary pastels, white is sweetened with sherbet lemon and bubblegum pink on sheer chiffon―the hand-finished detailing adding an artisanal element to these romantic and effortless pieces.
You can view the full range on ASOS, here , which one is your favourite? I’m torn between the three at the top of this post, priced at £120, £100 and £180 respectively.
My bank account is thankful I already have an outfit sorted for an up-coming wedding although I’m starting to think I might just NEED to spill red wine on my dress or something so I have an excuse to hastily snap up one of these!

It’s a pretty well known fact that this girl loves to bake up a storm and create sweet treats for everyone to enjoy, but when it comes to the savoury side of the kitchen, I quite frankly can’t be arsed. I guess it’s a long standing obstacle of my on-going battle with food demons, but the idea of cooking and portioning a hot meal (it’s the portioning that realllly gets me) means I all too often resort to my good friends the freezer and the microwave.
Now my new hours at work have started, and in light of recent events I’ve made a promise to myself to start cooking more, once a week from scratch to start with and then building up. Last night was my first adventure in proper cooking and I made a Lentil and Vegetable cottage pie; I’m not a vegetarian anymore but I don’t like much meat and generally only eat it if someone else has cooked for me.
I found the recipe on this site and made a few adaptations to suit my tastes
900g mashed potato
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 chopped medium onion
150g brown (or puy) lentils (I used green tinned)
1 crushed garlic clove
100g grated vegetarian cheddar cheese (I used a reduced fat version hence it not being all bubbly and brown)
2 diced carrots (we had no carrots to this was left out)
1tbsp tomato puree (I doubled this)
1 diced medium green pepper
60g sliced mushrooms (I doubled this)
1 tsp dried basil
Anyone got any recipes to share/motivate me? What is your signature dish?
