Split ends.... Ladies am I right in saying that these can be a HUGE trouble in getting rid of. I know sometimes I find myself sitting for ages with my tiny nail scissors, trying to get rid of every single one because I don't want to have to cut it. If you're like me and you have long hair and really don't want to cut the ends because either you don't have time or you simply don't want to have to go through the time it took to grow it to that length... then these tips are for you. For those of you poor souls who don't know what a split end is... it's not something you would want to have.

A split end is when a piece of your hair splits into two pieces at the end of your hair. Once a piece has split it could carry on splitting all the way up to the top of your head. This could result in your hair looking really frizzy and ragged and just awful. I'm not saying that if you have a couple of split ends, you should freak out and run to the nearest hairdresser... What I am saying is that every now and then it is good to have a trim to keep your hair healthy but if you have a hard time with split ends that you don't want to have to keep on trimming... then you have come to the right place.

Ok, so you have understood that you could have split ends that you want to get rid of... but how do you do that? Well here are a few tips you can try to get rid of them which are really inexpensive and easy to do.

1. Go to your local grocery store.

Ok that seems simple, but what do you do at the grocery store? Well then you ask around for some help for a shampoo that helps with stopping split ends. Or if you think you can handle looking through all the shampoo bottles then you can just start searching. I am sure you'll be able to find one but asking someone for a recommendation can promise success at a much higher rate :)

2. Twist it.

Yeah you read that right. Once your hair is dry, simply take you hair and twist it after it's just been washed. The split ends should be the pieces sticking out of your twist. Then you can quickly snip them off and you're done :)

3. Check your brush.

Most people don't know it but your brush can do some pretty hard core damage. If you do a lot of back combing or teasing, your hair can get damaged a lot more easily. Using a brush with wider teeth to brush your hair can help avoid split ends.

4. Shine a light.

Shining a light up onto your hair will help you to identify the splits a lot more easily. This will make it quicker to cut them all rather than cutting what you think is all of them, when in actual fact you have like another random 10 pieces which split again and again before you notice and have to start cutting them all over again... A light could help you by seeing a lot more than in natural light.

5. The hair dryer can be an enemy when tackling the battle of split ends. If your hairdryer is on a really hot setting which is not suited for how thick or thin your hair is, it could make your split ends even worse. If you have thin hair like me, you should have the heat really low. For people with thicker hair, a slightly higher temperature would be best. You should never have to use the highest temperature. unless there are only two options. (namely high or low)

I hope these tips helped you and I am wishing you split end free hair. Look after your hair Ladies!

Love you all

Hi There!

Unfortunately we reach the final part of my trip away :( 

I just want to thank everyone who was involved in the trip to make it well over what I had expected it to be. It was incredible and I was so lucky to be able to go on it. With that being said, let's hop right in then...

Hey guys :)

So recently I decided I would redecorate my bedroom and because I don't (and probably a lot of you too) have much money to spend on decor so I have been doing research as to what ways I could cheaply decorate my room to make it still look really cute.... So basically I have been up to quite a bit and I thought I should show you all what and how I made my decor ... and who knows, there could be a room tour in the future ;)

The first thing I am going to show you is a Tumblr Timeline. To put it simply, it's just a bunch of Tumblr pics stuck up into a shape.

I do apologize for not taking pictures along the way but here is a simple step by step:

1. I collected a large amount of my favorite pictures off of Tumblr (Click here for my Tumblr Dashboard) and I inserted them all onto a word document.

2. I resized them to make sure they were not too big or too small... I just kinda guess the sizes but I didn't make them all the same size because I wanted a variety of shapes and sizes to make it interesting (This is just my preference but if you'd like to make them the same size then that's alright too.)

3. I then printed out my pages, one sided, in colour.

4. I began cutting and cutting out all the pictures.

5. I then took a blob of Sticky tack and roughly stuck it in the middle of each picture.

6. I began placing the pictures of the wall, moving them around and switching them until I got the right shape I wanted.

7. Then, one by one, I took the Sticky tack off the back of a picture and placed them on the four corners and replaced it back onto the wall.

8. I stepped back and made sure everything was right where I wanted them and then I was done :)

It really is that simple. You could also add lights to do it up a bit but I just left mine because I liked them the way it was. It took a little time placing everything but I think it was worth it because my bare wall now looks incredible :)

Please send me pics to my Twitter if you try it out because I want to see you all try it :)

Well hii.....

I know it is no longer Monday but it just so happened that something happened with the cords and my wifi was cut for a couple days... I know... it sucked... Anyway lets just pretend that today is Monday ;)

So as you may or may not know, every first Monday of the month I write a post all about a mission(should you choose to accept it) that I have planned for you all for that month. This month I recommend you have a proper clean out. For those of you living in the south, you'll be experiencing Spring which means spring cleaning! You're probably reading this and thinking "heck no" well before you make any decisions, read a little more.

Yeah when you hear/read 'spring clean' you'll already be thinking ugghhh but here are a few things that can help you. Firstly think about the end result rather than thinking how long it's going to take you. Look around your room and picture it when it's clean. It'll help you when you start.

But you may be asking "Well, where on earth do I start?" well here's your answer... start by putting on some music. This makes time go twice as fast. Next make separate piles for separate things. eg. dirty-clothes pile, dirty-dishes pile, clean-clothes pile, things-which-don't-belong-here pile, etc.

Take a break after a while. Yeah it can be quite tiring so take a (short) break to get a snack or just breathe.

Don't keep it if you'r never going to use it again. Ok so I am quite the hoarder when it comes to throwing things out but if you think you might use it for maybe once more then just toss it.

Please don't lose hope. It can become quite a huge task to do but I promise once it's done you'll be able to just lie on your clean bed and relax without filth around you. It's worth it, I promise!

I hope I have inspired you to go into your room and have a little clean up... and if your room is already clean then I applaud you! Oh an just because you live in the north doesn't mean you're off the hook ;) You also have the mission to complete (I'm assuming you've already accepted because you've read this far) So come on... get cracking you have +- 3 weeks left :)

Love you all

Guess who's back, back, back again... it's me! (Comment down below if you know that song ;) )

I am officially back from holiday... unfortunately that means school... but lucky for you that means more blog posts :) So anyway I thought I would just update you all about what I have been up to these past 2 weeks. 

Firstly to get things straight before a get a bunch of people asking how I was on holiday when you all weren't.... I go to a private school which means that my holiday and term times are WAY out of sync to everyone else... don't ask me why but it just is :/ Also because I was away for so long and went to 3 gorgeous places, I have decided to post in 3 parts. This part will be of my journey in Cape Town :) 

Now that I got that out the way... on to the photos :D

P.S. For those readers who have NO idea where Cape Town is... Cape Town is in the South West of Africa. Also know as the Cape of Good Hope. I'm sure if you google it you'll find of more but click here for a map :)
