EGX Gaming Convention - 24th September 2015

Hey everyone!

Yesterday, myself and my boyfriend went to the EGX gaming convention in Birmingham NEC.

Bit of a spur of the moment, as we only booked the tickets Monday! (Luckily they had some left). Thought it would be a nice treat for Alex's birthday, seeing as gaming is his passion, and I would enjoy it too!

We went up on the train to go in for 11am.

There wasn't too much queueing as it was one of the more quieter days to go.

On the other hand, the queues to play the games were another story. The popular games, you were looking at a 2 hour wait until you could go in!

We decided to look around the stalls before deciding which game to queue for. The whole venue was lowly lit, which gave it a really cool feel!

The main game I wanted to play was Rise of the Tomb Raider, which we did queue for an hour and actually got to play.

We had about 30 minutes of game play which we really enjoyed, and I can't wait until it comes out on PS4.

We had a look what else there was but all the games we wanted to play had super long queues, so Alex decided to play Uncharted for a bit.

We had a few more pictures taken with some really awesome sceneries and prop replicas from games, I personally love the motor bike, from Metal Gear Solid!

I ended up buying a couple of Hoodies and game inspired scented candles, and a limited edition print.

It was such an amazing day and I wish we had been there all 4 days just so we could have had more time to play the games we wanted.

But it was great and I can't wait for next year!

My Micro-loop Hair Extensions

Hello everyone!

If you didn't already know, my hair is mainly all extensions. I have worn Micro-loop extensions since I was 16, and I get a huge amount of questions about them! So I thought I would share my knowledge and experiences with you!

Micro-loop hair extensions are little rings that wrap around a small section of your hair and are then closed around to seal them on. 

Although it's not recommend, you can dye them, which I do, but it does shorten the life span of the hair.

Usual 100-300 strands maybe used to create a full head of volume and thickness to the clients desire.

You would need infills every 2/3 weeks to keep them maintained.

They don't damage your natural hair because there are no chemicals or glues used to attach them.

Maintenance can be difficult for some clients as they take a lot of care to be looked after properly!

I have only ever used clip ins before but I would choose these over any other extensions!

For the week at work, I usually just chuck my hair up in a bun, and try not to use hear on my hair, which helps my hair grow strong healthy and a lot faster!

I would definatly recommend Microloops to anyone wanting hair extensions!

Shellac Gel Polish Review

As a beauty therapist and nail technician, I work with new products regularly and get to try them out.

Shellac gel polish, has been around for a few years now but it's surprising not a lot of people have used or even heard about it!

If you don't know what gel polish is, it's a stronger version of nail polish. It protects the nail with a tougher cover, does not damage the natural nail plate, sets straight away and lays up to around 2 weeks, without any chipping. It helps to prevent the nail for breaking and is great for people who find it hard to grow their nails up.

Shellac has a beautiful glossy finish to all of their colours and this stays shiny the whole length of time it's on your nails.

You can leave the salon without having to worry about smudging it and you can carry on with the rest of your daily jobs.

They have loads of different colours which can all be jazzed up with nail art or glitters.

I could never go back to normal polish now I've started using Shellac, it really is worth having done and such a beautiful finish to anyone nails.

Biotin - Hair & Nail Growth Vitamins - Review week 1

Hi everyone! 

Most of you will know that I wear Micro-Loop hair extensions to give me lovely long hair. My natural hair is an inch or so below my shoulders and I have always struggled to grow it. 

When I started putting my extensions in, about 4 years ago, my hair was the length it is now but very damaged. So I cut it all off to my chin around a year and a bit ago,and wore my extensions while it's been growing. It's grown down thicker and healthier, with regular trims. ( As a qualified hairdresser, I cut my own hair). It's at that annoying length stage now and I just want it long. 

Here is my hair before I started the tablets, and natural length and after I have put my extensions back in.

I did some research on Amazon and found these Biotin vitamins, they have hundreds of reviews, Mostly of which are all positive. I ordered 100 tablets (3 months worth) for around £8. And have been taking them for a week.

My nails have shot up, and as I wear acrylics I have had to infill them already a week later! 

As for my hair, seeing as I dye it black, my brown roots are now showing a lot more. My hair is a lot softer and healthier so something is defiantly working.

I do recommend drinking a lot of water with them as they have given me quite a few spots but other than that I've had no problems.

It may not work the same for everyone but there's defiantly been some noticeable difference for me.

I will keep doing update posts over the next few weeks and keep you informers how it's all going and if I think it's worth the money.

Welcome, welcome, welcome!

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to do a little post to say exactly what the title says, so welcome to my blog!

I will be using this blog mainly for beauty bits, but also for general random bits and bobs that I go about doing in my average life.

I don't have a timetable at the moment for when each post will be up but keep your eyes peeled and something will be in place soon!
