Uh-OH I'm broke and I HAVE to be in this social situation!

One of the worst things about being a blogger or actually having a passion for that bottle of red is being broke.

For some they are embarrassed that their funds can't stretch as far as they like. I have never been one of these people. I have been broke for the past 5 years. No income and the college lifestyle is something that only those with a job can afford. Now I tried to find work but retail managers do not want college students we are not flexible enough for them (one of the reason's why I dislike the management style of the retail industry).

Everyone has a broke stage, if you didn't you are very lucky; but I personally feel you need that broke stage to build a respect for money. Anyways social engagements are a bit of nightmare if you are looking in your purse and all you see is your only €2 in the world. You have two choices make up a lame excuse and go on your merry way or casually say that the budget is tight but a water will be fine so you don't miss out on the bants!

For me informing whoever it is your meeting beforehand that your funds aren't looking too tasty, at least if you tell them in a neutral environment they 1, don't care 2, thankfully (yes i am actually saying this) we are in a recession so being broke is not as much of a embarrassment as it may be pre-recession. It an accepted part in society nowadays that people don't have the funds that we once did.

Basically long story short, I find being honest about it works a hell of a lot better than lying about it.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you agree or disagree?

L'Oreal Paris - FÉRIA BY PRÉFÉRENCE Review! (before and after!)

So on Monday I instagramed this picture: 

After a very detailed conversation about hair colouring on twitter (it always starts on twitter don't it?) I was advised to try out the above. I felt like a change. I have plans on going purple during the summer when funds allow it but for now messing around with conditioning toners will have to do. 

I went ahead with it on Monday night (as i was dyeing the ends on my hair, no need for an allergy test etc). 

The instructions are piss easy to follow! you get your toner, gloves and instructions. What had annoyed me is that it's stated that the gloves are high quality yet they where kinda on the weak side. 

So anyway onto the before and after! 

Yeah I'm not very impressed. I wasn't expecting a major change but I was expecting a tint of some shape or form!

So yep you guessed it I am very disappointed!

It did condition my hair but erm the colour is what I was after!

do you have any hair colouring story's where the colour just didn't take?

It's My Birthday and I will blog if I want to

To celebrate I have deiced to do something a little different. I have seen a lot of bloggers do this, and I think having it written down on in this case online for the whole world to see you are that bit more determent to see it through. 

So I have a few goals that I want to achieve before my next birthday 

1, Buy this amazing handbag the Vivienne Westwood Anglomania Bag Black Frilly Snake Shopper Handbag has been something I have had my eye on for quite some time. I has been my goal to own a designer handbag. I have always admired Vivienne Westwood as a designer with her bold prints and well structured designs. For me this bag may not cost a lot for a designer item but I know I will achieve this goal

2. Buy the full Elite Collection from Nima Brushes. Ever since I saw these beauts back in September I knew I just had to have them. I am forever dreaming about expanding my makeup brush collection and I just adore these brushes. 

3. And what list would be complete without a pair of louboutin's. There is nothing like investing in a pair of shoes that I know will serve me the rest of my life. 

4. To have either started or saved up to do a makeup course. It's not that I want to become a makeup artist nor do I even think I have the talent to pursue a career in it. I just feel it's the next right step. I would like some sort of qualification in a makeup artistry course. I feel there is so much we can learn for other beauty bloggers and youtubers but doing a course in it is something else. 

5. To have done one suger craft lesson or baking lesson. Baking for me is something that I adore doing. I wouldn't say I have a talent for it but I do find it easy and extremely enjoyable. I have always wanted to learn more.

So there you have it. My list of five things that I need to do before this very date next year. 

Do you have a list like this?
