Had a gutful!

I have just had enough of everything at the moment. I’m tired, stressed and frustrated. Two weeks left of my uni holidays and I haven’t had an actual break. I went straight from uni + working + exams –> working full time, so I’m still feeling just as run down and stressed as I was [...]

The latest experiment: SFX Devilish + Nuclear Red

So I completely forgot I hadn’t yet posted a blog about my latest hair dye experiment. I apologise profusely, but hope that what I lack in time management skills I make up for in wit, charm and a complete lack of resistance to testing colour concoctions out on my hair for my lovely readers benefit [...]

PCOS & Me

In recent months I have been reading a lot of blogs by women with PCOS. For those who are not familiar with PCOS it stands for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. And it’s a bitch. I wanted to write about my experiences with PCOS, as most of what I read have been success stories and people praising [...]

Manic Panic – Vampire Red (on bleached hair)

I decided to give Manic Panic “Vampire Red” another go. My first attempt had turned out like this: Although I didn’t mind the colour, I wanted it brighter (and less pink). So I thought I’d see how light I could bleach my hair first in order to get a really vibrant colour. And how it [...]

If slaughterhouses had glass walls…..

I watched this confronting video on Youtube today by Sir Paul McCartney. Some of the footage I had seen before from the Earthlings documentary, yet it is still as shocking as the very first time I saw it. It was after watching the Earthlings documentary a while ago that I made the choice to go vegetarian [...]

My Hair/Product Tips and Advice

Below are some tips and recommendations from my experience in hair colouring/maintenance, and the products or methods I have found work best for me. Remember, if in doubt, CONSULT A HAIRDRESSER! I am not trained, I have learned through trial and error, so don’t take my advice as Gospel. Products I recommend for maintaining hair [...]

New Hair Chapter: Manic Panic-Vampire Red

It should come as no surprise to those of you who have read my previous blogs and/or know me in real life that I have started yet another chapter  in my hair dye history. After giving my hair a bit of a break (about 4 ½ months)  I couldn’t handle it anymore and decided I needed [...]

The Hot Fat Girl Manifesto

BECAUSE being a hot fat girl is a lot of work and is undervalued or unrecognized. Because a fat girl still has to pay more money for uglier clothes or spend 11 hours at the thrift store to find anything hot to wear. Because if you take the elevator people think you’re lazy but if [...]

You are what you eat.

Last year I made the decision to become a vegetarian again. Well, not a complete vegetarian as I do occasionally eat fish. So I am, technically, a Pescetarian. (I know true vegetarians often get their hackles up at people who still east fish calling themselves vegetarian, but even though I occasionally (when I can’t avoid [...]

Hair Dye How To: Triumphs and failures from the confines of my (permanently stained) bathroom.

As a follow up to my previous post Colour me a Rainbow! (A history of hair colour) I thought I would go through how I dye my own hair, as I know there are many different methods out there, and I would like to pass on my experiences to you to save you the stress [...]
