Does it Cut the Mustard?




I didn't actually get dressed until about 3pm today as I have been sorting my hair out in preparation for a charity party I am going to on Saturday. The event is to raise money for the Premature Baby Unit at our local hospital. I hadn't "done" my roots since November last year so I had my work cut out!

Using the good old cap and hook method I first did a load of strands with a mid brown Nice n Easy, rinsed, dried and repeated using bleach. I usually don't bother with the brown but I had a build up of highlights and needed to break the blonde up a bit. I'm really pleased with the result, it look natural and even and cost a lot less than a trip to the hairdresser.

I'm going to wear my hair up on Saturday, not something I am good at but I have been studying some online tutorials today's effort turned quite well.



I couldn't wait to wear my new dress, and am pleased to have something to wear the mustard tights with which I bought in the DP sale a while back. I was a little bit nervous stepping out with such bright legs but my trusty grey wooly cardi gave me a bit of a security blanket that kept me within my comfort zone.

Wow, that was hard, my first "proper" blog entry.

What have you done that pushed your boundries today?

  4. Liking the hair - did you look at some tutorials on You Tube then in the end? I have purchased a hair doughnut and some bumpits from Ebay today and am going to try using those for my up do.

    Like the outfit although I would never be brave enough to wear the mustard tights - though saying that I don't generally wear skirts anyway.
