<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello Lovelies!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I’m half way through month one of <b>INSANITY</b> and have lived to tell the tale…..hurrah! It
has been a bit touch and go at times though!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I feel like I should start with a little information on me
and my current situation exercise/health and fitness wise. I don’t have any
health issues that I’m aware of apart from being prone to being a little anaemic.
I’ve been doing Weight Watchers for the last 18 months and got on well with the
programme. However, I have struggled with it more recently because my
motivation has been completely out the window. I decided that I wanted to do
something about the condition of my body instead of just what I saw on the
scale. I lost a stone and a half on WW and honestly, it didn't make THAT much
difference to how I looked. I thought in my head that I’d be swanning around looking like a
model at below 9 stone but the reality is, at 5ft nothing and my build, I’m
never going to look that way. My new goal is to look healthy and fit. Enter –
Insanity<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is a very intense work out programme and is certainly
not for the faint hearted. My first day involved the Fit Test. <o:p></o:p>This is not a full workout but I was completely floored by the end. As you can imagine, this made me rather nervous about what the actual workouts would be like!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My first week was really tough, I have a relatively OK level
of fitness – I can run 5K without stopping but I can’t really do much else
afterwards! The warm up is the first thing you do and I feel like it’s quite
thorough. You do one round of moves at a relatively slow pace, then repeat them
at a faster pace again and finally go full out one final time. The final time doesn't really feel like a warm up anymore – it’s very much a work out
in its own right! During week 1 I was
really struggling to make it through as far as the third rep without having to
press pause and catch my breath. I enjoyed seeing that some of the people accompanying
Sean T on the DVD were also looking quite worn out during the warm up too! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next comes the sweat…..and it doesn’t stop! Straight from the warm up you go
into stretches. This is kind of like yoga poses I guess, the moves are slow and
involves lots of holding positions, the music becomes much more relaxing but
you do sweat absolute buckets doing this section! Remember to keep a towel
handy, it’s like no other workout DVD or class I've ever done!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then you move on to the main body of the work out – this usually lasts around
20 minutes and consists of different reps that you do once then repeat another
two times at a faster pace each time. Breaks typically happen after each full
rep, sometimes more frequently depending on the type of exercise. Cardio
resistance is harder in terms of pressure on the joints and body so the breaks come
more often. You only get 30 seconds to recover which is just enough time for a
swig of water and to catch your breath. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the DVD’s is called Cardio Recovery – this is a real
God send come mid-week when you’re feeling tired and in need of TLC instead of
an intense workout! It’s similar to the stretches that you do at the start and
end of all of the work outs but lasts around 30 minutes. It’s by no means easy,
I certainly feel the burn when I do this, it’s just nice to be able to catch
your breath and not feel like you’re assaulting your body! This was by far my
favourite DVD in week 1……but that might be because it’s the only one I could
manage to get through without pausing!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After one rest day (mine falls on a Saturday) it’s straight
back into it for week 2. The workouts are not in the same sequence as week 1,
so it’s important to keep an eye on your calendar that is provided with the
programme so that you know what you’re doing each day. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I found from Sunday that the work out was feeling a little easier, but
Wednesday I was getting through the first 25 minutes of the exercise without pressing
pause (a huge achievement) and then last night I managed to get all the way
through Cardio Resistance without taking any unscheduled breaks! If nothing
else, my stamina is improving!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Obviously this is only the first 2 weeks and I’m not
expecting to see huge changes yet. I certainly feel better in myself, I’m
following the meal plan as much as I can but substituting certain foods that
are harder to find in the UK or things I don’t like very much. The important
thing is that I’m eating well and have cut chocolate and all of that good stuff
that makes you gain weight! I’ve lost around 6lbs so far which is good, but I’m
not expecting this to move much lower at any great pace. A lot of people who
have completed this have said that the scale doesn't move much but the
measurements are where you notice the real difference. Although I can’t see a
change yet, I do feel a little more svelte and my skin is looking much better
than it has done in a while.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have my fit test on Monday so will include my measurements
from two weeks ago and the updated measurements to see if there are any changes
there! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

taking on the Insanity challenge/completed the programme yourself, let me know

Hello Lovelies,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I hope you’re all good and loving life! It’s been such a long time since Orla and I posted anything. I thought I’d give you an update on what’s been keeping us so busy and give you a bit of an overview of my next venture into the world of fitness!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Orla has been keeping majorly busy since graduating doing some really cool jobs from working on dressing and costumes for Panto, costumes and hair on James & The Giant Peach & even dressing an area in Uptown at Boomtown Festival a few weeks ago! (I’ll leave her to fill you in on the proper details)! We've obviously been hanging out loads too and getting up to our usual mischief. We have just got back from a week away in Devon with my family! It was so much fun and right on the beach! What more could you want?!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I've been doing loads of singing and workshops to try and improve my technique and performing whenever I possibly can! I've also been really lucky to have had not one, not two, but three amazing holidays this year! I jetted off to Florida & the Bahamas in January with my boyfriend. We spent most of our time in Florida but then took a 3 day Disney Cruise over to Nassau and then to Disney’s private Island Castaway Cay. It was an absolutely amazing trip and definitely nice to avoid the winter chill of home!<o:p></o:p></div>

Just after we got back, we got the opportunity to visit Florida again in July for a slightly shorter trip with my boyfriend’s family. We jumped at the chance to go back and had such a fabulous time going to all of the parks, out for fancy dinners, getting to hold a baby Alligator & of course, lots & lots of shopping!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I wasn't back more than three weeks before I was off again in this country with Orla and my family! I've had such a fantastic year so far and while I don’t have any more holidays booked, I do have lots of exciting things coming up!<o:p></o:p></div>

As a result of my extravagant lifestyle, all of the hard work I put in over the last 18 months with Weight Watchers and getting down to my goal weight has been sort of undone! I've put on a little weight and want to just feel comfortable in my clothes again! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I absolutely swore by Weight Watchers but am finding it a bit dull after doing it for so long. I wanted something to really challenge me so that I won’t just (hopefully) lose weight, but also increase my general fitness and look more toned.</div>

That’s right, I purchased it just before my holiday and set 25<sup>th</sup> August 2014 as the date I HAD to start. I’m trying my best to follow the eating plan provided and completing the exercises each day. So far it’s really living up to its name but I am getting a real sense of achievement when I get to the end of each workout.</div>

Converse. Accessorize. Oasis.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The three brands I was loving on my last shopping spree!<br />
I was actually out shopping with/for my mother, however I had just been paid...and we all know what that means.<br />
<br />
'Your suddenly surrounded by things...you can Actually buy!'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
At this time in the shops, you have you spring collections, and your winter sales! Which means that your drawn in by all these wonderful bright and pastel colours. BUT there are many deals to be had if you want to buy some staples and snap up some sneaky autumn winter pieces! Which - lets face it, could be all year round in England!<br />
<br />
First off, I would like to Introduce... My new things! (How exciting!)</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAf2XsD-Rj-sUpTUdRdBOgDfhk5cOk9m8q9kVI6uGsqSuULgR_kRSLKjTj20Ed7XruhptpClJLmTx6sf2YTWgV5rfAPQ2i9Crm4avJnNPhNyRucAaQiPEYN5kb-V5mCMs_Ieah-09ozjKb/s1600/1911964_10152002600121500_1011905598_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAf2XsD-Rj-sUpTUdRdBOgDfhk5cOk9m8q9kVI6uGsqSuULgR_kRSLKjTj20Ed7XruhptpClJLmTx6sf2YTWgV5rfAPQ2i9Crm4avJnNPhNyRucAaQiPEYN5kb-V5mCMs_Ieah-09ozjKb/s1600/1911964_10152002600121500_1011905598_n.jpg" height="400" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lets start with the footwear. Black Converse.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All Black. Staple. Comfortable. Stylish. Simple and Chic!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Converse's are an item of footwear that every boy and girl under the sun should have the right to own! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(They should totally do what the /toms/ footwear company do!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They can piece together the most complicated of outfits, or the simplest. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They can be kept nice, clean and crisp. Depending on the style of the owner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or. They can be bashed about, kicked in and scruffy, and still look as cool. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Size 6. £50. JD Sports </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.jdsports.co.uk/product/converse-all-star-hi/054630/%20" target="_blank">http://www.jdsports.co.uk/product/converse-all-star-hi/054630/ </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, we have the ever so classic. 'Leather' Jacket.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Black. 'Leather'. Soft. Collarless. Timeless!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, this is probably considered more of an autumn winter piece, true. However if you a bit like me, The leather jacket is something I grab almost daily! And therefore I could not resist this deal! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Leather jackets tend to come in brighter colours around spring time in the year. Changing the colour of your 'classic' leather jacket, from a standard black, to a red, grey/white, yellow etc, can be a great and clever way of re-styling an outfit. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course they are very easy to style, and can give off different vibes (depending on the colour), rocker, vintage, girly, anything you feel! Which is why there such good staples to have in your wardrobe. If your a person who tends to change their style up ALOT, then a leather jacket is something that can go on that style journey with you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Size M. £35 (was £65). Oasis (Debenhams)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.oasis-stores.com/borge-collarless-faux-leather-jacket/coats-&-jackets/oasis/fcp-product/4830002001" style="color: blue;">http://www.oasis-stores.com/borge-collarless-faux-leather-jacket/coats-&-jackets/oasis/fcp-product/4830002001</a><span style="color: blue;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, we have the first of my 2 lovely bags. My 'GrownUp' Bag.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tan. 'Leather'. Multi-Functional. Soft!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm always drawn to tanned coloured bags. I think that a lot of the time, the tanned version of a bag is just that bit nicer. I tend to wear a lot of black things (which I'm trying to adjust), so perhaps its because I feel it adds some colour to my outfit! When I saw this bag, I liked it a lot, but I didn't think I would buy it. I didn't go out that day to buy a bag. However when I looked INSIDE. Well. I convinced myself that It would be a good idea for me to purchase it. Here's why...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its 2 bags in 1!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Crazy I know! But it's true. Its a clever Multi-functional bag. There is the main outer shell of the bag, with 2 handels, as normal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But inside, is another big pouch of a bag, with a zip, that POP's into the main shell. This pouch has a long across body strap that you can clip on to their shell or pouch. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
THEREFORE. You have one normal standard roomy shell of a bag, (fits my 13" laptop in), and another across body zip up bag! Really good for money and they both look stunning with any outfit! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
£38. Oasis. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.oasis-stores.com/sindy-shopper/bags/oasis/fcp-product/5330042209" style="color: blue;">http://www.oasis-stores.com/sindy-shopper/bags/oasis/fcp-product/5330042209</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And Finally, The Deal of the Day! My Satchel! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tan. 'Leather'. Iconic. Smart!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all know that the style of the 'Satchel' has popped its head up in recent years. From bright colours to the classic tan/black satchels. I have wanted one since they came on the scene (for the 2nd time) for a long time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However I will never have enough money to justify it. It's unfortunately just the way I'm programmed. If I don't think I'm getting a good deal, then I'm 'iffy' about it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This little gem was hanging in the store with the label "£15 OFF" on it. Obviously my eyes were automatically drawn to it! After doing a bit of math, £17 was the price of this lovely thing! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again 'tanned', a win there already. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again 'bargain', another win.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And a 'satchel', its win win win! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a brilliant size, roomy, you can fit a silly amount in! Its structured, meaning that it won't loose its shape. Which is a problem I've had in the past. (It becomes floppy. And No one likes that :D ) So really I would have been neglectful, and inconsiderate to my bag needs if I didn't purchase this bag. Therefore, you can see my predicament. And I bought it. I feel no guilt! Beautiful bag, and smartens up an outfit instantly! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This March Orla, her boyfriend Tommy, and friends went to Center Parcs in Elevden! </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to share some of the things I got up to whilst on holiday! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We
were there for a week, and were in a Luxury Villa. It had a sauna, hot
tub, steam room, and games room, amongst other lovely things!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are lots of things to be doing in Center Parcs, you can either do as little or as much as you wish.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Heres me, Rowing a Boat!<br />
Hand eye coordination was ok! But I need alot more practice for me to get anywhere fast on the water! <br />
<br />
So much fun! When getting in the rowing boat with Tommy, I said to the guy,<br />
"This is where he (tommy) serinades me, and reads me poetry"...<br />
They both looked at me like I was expecting too much! - Ridic! <br />
<br />
I felt like Bridget Jones!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I took on the role of 'Merida', from the Disney film, 'BRAVE!'....I took on Archery! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now that I am back from sunning myself in Florida, I thought i'd update you! If you follow us on Twitter, you will probably be aware that I was popping over to the sunshine state for a holiday with my boyfriend. Unfortunately, Orla couldn't come along (although she gets major points for effort for trying to fit in to my suitcase)!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have recorded a video of my USA Haul which will be going live very soon, and I will update you with a more detailed blog post with pictures and reviews, so keep your eyes peeled! As i'm sure you can imagine, I did go out to the US armed with a list as long as me of beauty things I wanted to pick up! This included the last few Real Techniques brushes that I was missing from my collection. With all of these new things, I realised that I am fast running out of space in my current make up case and that it's time for a make up storage overhaul!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As you probably know, I adore Shabby Chic styles and anything with a Parisian/Romantic theme. I'd been looking for some pots to keep my brushes in but didn't want to break the bank on them. I also think the clear tubs that a lot of beauty bloggers use are really cute but I want something with a little more detail.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yesterday during my lunch break, I popped over to TK Maxx to see if they had anything exciting in their home section and lo and behold.......these beauties were on the shelf! Not only were they exactly what i'd been looking for, the whole set including three pots and the tray cost me £2.99! My brushes look quite at home too! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have wanted to do this post since Christmas Day but time has absolutely flown by since then! I can't believe it's the 8th of January already! 2014 feels like it's taken off and isn't set to slow down. One major thing i'm looking forward to is getting the lovely other half of Twice Upon a Blonde back. She's still working her little socks off in Guildford on the costumes in Cinderella! So we've been separated for most of the festive season! Orla will be heading home a few days before I jet off to (hopefully) sunny skies! So our next encounter is set to be brief, but SO overdue! Cannot wait!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, enough of the life story and more about CHRISTMAS PRESENTS! This year I was well and truly spoilt by everyone, and these are just a selection of my presents. I chose the most relevant to our beauty blog, meaning i'm leaving out anything non beauty related that I was lucky enough to receive!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a gorgeous gift set of miniature sized items I actually already use. The minis are perfect to pop in your handbag if you're like me and cherish those extra 10 minutes in bed in the morning and tend to do your make up on the go! This set includes an erase paste under eye concealer, Girl Meets Pearl night time primer, High Beam highlighter and Posie Tint lip and cheek stain. This includes some of my favourite products, so definitely a huge Christmas present win!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also had these two Benefit lip glosses as a stocking filler. These are two really pretty colours that are really easy to wear! They last for a good amount of time before needing to reapply and are a really nice consistency. They are not at all sticky and I'll definitely be checking out the other colours in the range! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Another stocking filler was this super cute eye mask with lavender seeds inside. It's a really relaxing and soothing scent and I can't wait to take this on the plane with me to Florida so that I can try and get 40 winks on the way home! The design is very sweet and the underside has a fleece feel that rests against the eyelids, which feel really comfy when this is on. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been SO excited to try these and can confirm that I've not been disappointed! This set includes a domed foundation brush, multi task brush and the domed eye shadow brush. I am so excited to have these in my collection, especially now right before my holiday! Trying to put together a condensed make up kit is not the easiest thing to do! This has sorted out my brush choices! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was one of my gifts from Orla......now I can stop borrowing hers! I love this brush! It makes lipstick application so much easier and makes the lines much cleaner. I have quite full lips but sometimes find it difficult to apply make up without it looking like a toddler has gone at me with my lip stick! This brush allows me to create a really defined cupid bow and generally finish off my lips perfectly!</span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a stunning gift set consisting of body lotion, body wash and bath salts.

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another stocking filler that couldn't have come at a better time! I totally ran out of my Aussie shampoo and conditioner before Christmas, so was over the moon to open this! I love this brand, it the three minute miracle conditioner does wonders for my split ends and I really do notice a huge difference when I use these. They also came in the cute bag you can see in the background!</span></div>

<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello Lovelies!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We hope you all had a wonderful festive season! We're so sorry to have abandoned you during the most wonderful time of the year. Unfortunately, Christmas for us didn't quite pan out as we had hoped and we didn't get to blog as much as we had wanted or planned to.</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Christmas is such a great time to spend with family and friends. I have such a huge family, that Orla is very much a part of. She has been my baby sister for as long as I can remember - and in fact, one of my earliest memories is sitting on the sofa and being allowed to hold a two day old Orla while every adult in the room stood by terrified! Usually Orla and I will get together as often as possible to wrap presents, watch Christmas films and eat our weight in chocolate. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This year we knew things would be a little different because Orla was working on Panto in Guildford while I was staying in London. I also had some devastating news on 30th November that really threw Christmas into complete turmoil for my entire family. My dear Uncle died very suddenly and unexpectedly of hypothermia. We used to see him every few weeks and he always came to stay with us at Christmas. Things really didn't feel very merry at all and as a result, I didn't much feel like writing blog posts whilst feeling so down in the dumps. If this had happened at any other time of year, Orla would have been manning the blog, but due to a really heavy work schedule, this wasn't going to work at all. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, here we are in 2014. I'm feeling more positive but to be totally honest, still not myself. There are only a few very select number of people that can tell that i'm still not quite back to normal. When someone has been such an important part of your life for as long as you can remember, it's hard to adjust. I hope that one day soon i'll be able to think about happy times spent with my uncle without getting emotional. Currently, that's not really possible. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This year has a lot of potential and we're certainly going to the make the most of it, whatever we chose to do and wherever the the choices lead us, we hope you'll come along for the ride.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">....without the eating children bit!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For my birthday this year, I was bought a fairy tale house mould as a gift! It was predominately for making a chocolate house (yes, it's as amazing as it sounds)! However, since it's getting so close to Christmas, we decided to see how it would work as a gingerbread mould! This is a tradition that is becoming increasingly popular in the UK and there are lots of shops introducing kits with all of the ingredients measured out and templates or even the gingerbread baked and ready to put together. We opted to start from scratch!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span id="goog_1958128104"></span>
Once they were all mixed together and formed a soft dough, we then just pressed it in to the mold and put it in the oven - we even had enough left over to make a gingerbread boy and girl!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is what we came up with!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you want to make a gingerbread house this Christmas but don't want to buy a mould, you can do what we did last year and print a free template from the internet. Bake batches of gingerbread and while it's still warm and soft, cut it to the shape and size you need! Last years effort is in the pictures below!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We can't believe how this year has flown by and we're already getting ready to open those little doors on our advent calendars! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">As this is our first Christmas since starting the blog, we wanted to do something fun and festive to celebrate! We were asked if we wanted to join in with the #bigblogmasproject. This involves us blogging everyday from the 1st December, through until Christmas eve! We jumped at the opportunity and have been busily planning what we want to blog about over the next 24 days!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div>
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">You'll find lots of beauty posts, Christmas fashion and lifestyle posts, as well as some fun things about what we're getting up to this Festive season! We hope you enjoy our involvement in the Big Blogmas Project and that you check out some of the other lovelies who are also taking part!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Christmas Caking, Baking, Making Time!!</span></div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
It is a bit early to be cooking Christmas puddings, however, Fiona (Orla's sister) came across a picture of a Santa cake! No instructions or tutorials just a picture, and Orla believed that she could make it! </div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
So we studied the picture, and put our plan into action! We decided to make a Sponge Cake, </div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
with jam and Buttercream filling!</div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
We stacked the sandwich tins to find out how many layers of cake we would need to get the height needed, and 4 sandwich tins were about right, so 2 cakes worth! </div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
We got on with making the "2" sponge cake/ "4" single sandwich tins worth. This was the recipe we used, good old "Mary Berry"!!</div>

<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Remember </u></b>: You have to double everything! As you have to fill and cover 2 cakes! </div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
It seems alot of everything, buttercream etc, however you will need/use it ! Trust us!</div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
Once all the cakes are cool, start to build your tower of cake! Fill each layer like you normally would, Jam and Buttercream between each layer, once it looks something like this...</div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
You will need to stableise it!! Take 3 straws/chop sticks and cut to the height of the cake and insert in a 'triangle' shape through the middle area of the cake.</div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">

<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
Time to CARVE! Take a bread knife, with a serrated edge, and make a Dome shape. Try and make it as smooth as possible, it will look a bit dogy...but go with it! </div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
You will need to give the cake a crumb coating next! Take your left over Buttercream, and go around the cake, (you may need to make some more) Making a smooth layer all around the cake. Making sure you get all the loose crumbs. (This is what makes it smooth and not lumpy when you put your layer of fondant ontop)</div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
Then put in the Fridge! Leave until its really solid and cold!!!<br />
LEAVE IT.....!!!! I SEE YOU!</div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now for the fun bit! DECORATING! Grab your Fondant, White, Red, Black...</div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
Roll out the red into a thin circular sheet of fondant. </div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b><u>Remember</u></b> - to put down icing sugar on the surface or it will stick to the table!!</div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
<br />
Using your rolling pin, roll a side of the red sheet around the pin, lift, and then drape the sheet over the cold cake. This should create this type of image...</div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">

<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
Carefully using your fingers and cupped hands, smooth down the edges and flare out the bottom of the sheet until you cover it evenly. <b><u> </u></b><br />
<b><u>TIP </u></b>- (Use a pizza cutter to put around the circular cake)</div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
Your almost there!!</div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">

<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
Time to get fiddly with the fondant, create a thin layer of white, cover the Cake Base, Put the Red Cake on the white base...</div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #6fa8dc; text-align: center;">
Then create another thin layer of white, shape into a beard, and use water to stick it to the cake. Carry on making the eyes, nose, little arms, and legs with cuffs on all four. Make a little hat for Santa and finish off by making a little buckle!</div>

So the time of presents, food gluttony
and Christmas parties are upon us! Its November (or Movember for some!)
and already Christmas decorations are up in Shopping Centers and in
Towns all around the UK! It always surprises both of us how quickly it
comes around, however were not complaining! </div>
<div style="color: #3d85c6; text-align: center;">

<br />
Christine and I have always been huge
Christmas lovers! So much so, that Christine got called "Christmas" at
work for a good while, which always put a smile on all our faces!</div>
<div style="color: #3d85c6; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #3d85c6; text-align: center;">
Both of us have a real thing for
Christmas decorating and baking! Every year we like to either
change up the themed colour on our trees/table decorations, or try and
create and make a new Christmas bake to share with everyone! Whether it be biscuits, a highly decorated cake, or a cluster of christmassy cup cakes!</div>
<div style="color: #3d85c6; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #3d85c6; text-align: center;">
So we have already been buying a couple of Christmas Bits, I bought a new PJ top, £6 in 'Primark!'<br />

Its a combination between Disney and Christmas which puts a big smile on our faces!</div>
<div style="color: #3d85c6; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #3d85c6; text-align: center;">
Primark's a great place to get lots of Christmas bits and bobs this year. From candles, gifts, bedding, decorations and wrapping, its a one stop shop for a big Christmas splurge! </div>
<div style="color: #3d85c6; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #3d85c6; text-align: center;">
This being our first Christmas with our Blog and YouTube channel! I'm sure we'll be doing festive updates with all the seasonal activities we'll be getting up to. Whether its Christmas hauls, baking, or general festiveness! </div>

<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This weekend was quite a lazy one for us. We were both feeling a little bit under the weather and not on our usual top form. Instead of risking making ourselves feel worse, we did what all self respecting girls do and headed out to the shops to stock up on chocolate and diet coke, before heading back and watch an entire season of Sex & The City! (The Aiden years, of course. what was Carrie thinking letting him go)?!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Anyway, while we sat and ate our weight in chocolate we also spent the afternoon playing with our hair. We have both had short hair in our time. Orla used to be a hair model (as mentioned in our introduction video). During this time, she didn't really have much say in the length or colour of her hair and ended up with some amazing styles. The later styles she sported were usually very short or even shaved right up at the back with just length left on top. I on the other hand have been cutting my hair short since I was in my late teens. The reason being, my hair is SO thin and fine and it usually looks much thicker when cut shorter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">While I enjoyed the illusion of thicker hair, I didn't like not having any length as I used to enjoy playing with different styles and designs in my hair. As my most recent short cut was a graduated bob, I do have some ways to go to get my hair to a decent one length style.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Orla on the other hand has already grown her hair to a better length and has managed to have the length evened out. This is largely why the hair styles this weekend were all on Orla's hair. Also, the hair extensions we used we old ones of mine from 5 years ago when I wore hair extensions most days. The colour match was much better for Orla than the ash blonde colour of my hair currently.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I started off by straightening and putting the hair extensions in Orla's hair. When she looked in the mirror, this cemented her decision to grow her hair!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The first thing I tried was a waterfall braid. I love this look as it looks really intricate. I think this would look better in hair with darker undertones or low lights, to really highlight the design of this look. The idea is to make your side pony tail look like it's encased in a cage of hair. This look would also work well on a normal ponytail. </span></div>

<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">For a different look at the front of the hair, this simple twist is fun to add interest. We used a spiral stud to enhance the look and secured with a bobby pin underneath. </span></div>

<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">For a more formal look that would work for a prom or posh 'do' this half up style is really cute! It was surprisingly easy to achieve and really suited Orla. With flowers added in the summer, this would be adorable festival hair! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I then tried my personal favourite, fishtail plait. This is the style I want to wear the most, but my hair is still far too short to make this work on my own hair. It looks really chic and bohemian and I definitely think Orla needs to learn to do this one on her own hair! Super cute!</span></div>

you're anything like us, then you will dream of beautiful nails with
minimal work! We have tried every nail strengthening product on the
market just to achieve the desired look but still haven't found anything
we are in love with....yet. </div>

<div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
There
has been quite some hype around imPRESS nails, so we have have been
desperate to try these out. There was quite a large range of designs
available from completely clear, ready to paint any colour to lace
patterns and coloured tips. We opted for the classic french manicure
design (£8.99) for our trial. </div>
<div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
The
packaging claims that these may last up to one week and are extremely
easy to apply! Application does stay true to it's word as all you need
to do is peel off the adhesive strips, press them into place and go! We
really loved the look of them once they were in place and followed the
instructions to the letter. The instructions recommend not getting your
hands or nails wet for up to 30 minutes after application. We played it
safe and kept our hands out of water for well over an hour to try and
ensure that the nails had the best chance of survival!</div>
<div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
The
nails did feel really quite secure once they were on which was great.
Although, as the adhesive is not applied all the way up the length of
the nail, so they can start to feel quite loose if caught on something. </div>
<div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br />
In
order to give the nails half a chance at surviving, I put them on on
Saturday before going out for dinner. They lasted the night very well
and all of the following day. With a dance class, audition workshop and
singing class. Unfortunately on the Monday the index finger nail came
off. I tried to see if one of the spares would fit but none of them were
really the right size. I opted to leave them as they were to see how
long the rest of them lasted. I managed to keep the remaining 9 nails in
place until the Thursday - so 5 days in total.</div>
<div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Although
they didn't quite last the full week that they claim to, I thought that
the look of these were great and I would absolutely purchase them again
for a one day event. A wedding or night out would be perfect for
imPRESS nails!</div>
<div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
Overall
I feel that these were £8.99 well spent. I think I would keep some nail
glue in my purse at all times just in case I was to lose one during the
day as one nail falling off was not quite the look we were going for! </div>

<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi Lovelies,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, this is a little bit later than we expected BUT thank you so so much for checking out our Ursula from The Little Mermaid Halloween looks!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have had some computer trouble over the last week and we were very concerned that our videos would be lost forever! Thank fully it all came good in the end! We were most concerned that we would have to re shoot this video, which would not have been ideal! It took 15 takes just to get the introduction and end bit because we were so tired and had a serious case of the giggles! Thankfully, we got there in the end!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Happy Halloween!</span></div>

<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Ta da! It's Orla's favourite Topshop picks! What do you think of this look? It's made up of pieces that Orla chose from Topshop to create her Autumn day look! We thought it would be a nice idea for us to show you our favourite picks individually as we have quite different styles. Christine tends to go for more girly patterns and cuts, while Orla favours slightly more tomboy trends.</span></div>

<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Argan Oil is something that has intrigued me for a while. I've
heard all of the hype and read up on it multiple times. It is considered to be one of the go to
products for celebs and is frequently cropping up in fashion magazines hair and
beauty pages. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I’m always a little unsure when the word oil is mentioned
because I happen to have very thin and fine hair that I constantly battle with
to give it volume and oomph. Oils tend to mean that my hair will be slightly
shinier but flat. I decided to bite the bullet and give Argan Oil a chance,
just in case it was the miracle hair product I've been looking for. Since this
was going to be a trial, I didn’t want to spend the earth. I shopped around and
found that Moroccan Argan Oil by Organix was the best value at £6.99 for 100ml
bottle. I liked that it didn't look like a bargain product on the shelf!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Argan oil advertises a multitude of benefits to your hair including
split end repair, restoring damaged hair back to a healthy smooth state as well
as strengthening hair….to list a few. As you can see, these are some pretty big
claims! My hair has definitely suffered from some of the issues this product
tackles, so I was keen to give this a go: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18pt; margin-left: 24pt; text-align: center; text-indent: -18pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: normal;"> </span><!--[endif]--><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;"><b><u>Hydrates hair in a natural way</u></b></span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18pt; margin-left: 36pt; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;"><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My hair was
certainly much more hydrated even after the very first use. While I am a
natural blonde, I do highlight my hair to give it a more platinum/golden
colour. This has resulted in my hair becoming dry over time and nothing seemed
to work to stop the ends looking dry.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 18pt;">I </span></span><span style="line-height: 24px;">wouldn't</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 18pt;"> say I’m bad with heat
products on my hair. I don’t straighten it because I’m one of those immensely
irritating people with dead straight hair (what I </span><span style="line-height: 24px;">wouldn't</span><span style="line-height: 18pt;"> give for a natural
curl or bounce)! I rarely curl it because it’s simply not long enough to do
yet. My main sin with heat is definitely blow drying. It’s the most effective
way for me to get volume and I only ever let my hair dry naturally if I’m doing
a treatment on it before bed or not planning on going out anywhere. I have
noticed that my hair is quite brittle and dry on the ends, this is made worse
when it’s blow dried. I have noticed that Argan oil has helped to smooth the
ends out even when blow dried. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 18pt;">So, my split ends are pretty bad at
the moment. I am definitely due a cut, but I am trying to grow my hair out of a
graduated bob and want the back to be a bit longer before I chop the longest
bits off to the same length. </span></span><span style="line-height: 24px;">I've</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 18pt;"> had short hair for the last 5 years and have
got to a point where I’m a bit fed up of the limited options I have with my
hair. I have noticed a slight improvement since using the oil but it’s nothing
to really shout about. In my opinion, you can’t fix split ends, you can only
make them appear better than they are. My only hope is going to be snipping
them all off! <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;"><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Being blonde,
I find it hard to make my hair look shiny. In the sun or the flash of a
photograph it seems to reflect light extremely well and sometimes makes me look
like half of my head is gone because the colour is so light! That’s definitely
not the same as shine though. This has helped my hair look more shiny but it’s
a fine line between shine and grease, even on the days I wash it. I have never
had a problem with greasy hair as it’s naturally quite dry. This has definitely
had an effect but I’m still not 100% convinced it’s shine that this has added. My
hair is naturally soft and smooth when I don’t use volume enhancing products on
it, so it’s hard for me to really rate this point fairly. I’d be interested to
see how Orla rates this when she reviews this product as she has more naturally
curly, thicker hair than I do. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think it’s fair to say that Argan oil has some real
benefits. I think for the particular type I bought, the instructions could be a little clearer. The suggested amount to use is very vague and I would suggest that if you have thin/fine hair too, only using it on the tips after towel drying. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It certainly isn't right for me to use as an everyday or even once a week all over hair treatment but I can see how this would be great on thicker and more coarse hair
types. If volume wasn't so important to me, I would probably consider using this
more often, but 80’s volume is the dream and unfortunately, Argan Oil flattens
that – literally! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I will definitely be
using it again, but only as a treat for when my hair is in distress! </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Welcome to the first of our Halloween make up tutorials! </span><br />

</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you've read our previous blog posts, you may have seen that we spent three days in
Disneyland Paris last week. it was all decked out with pumpkins, ghosts and ghouls
at every corner. While we were there were inspired by some of their spooky
characters and villains. When you really look at Disney Villains, you begin to
see that they are usually quite fabulous! Think of Mother Gothel from Tangled
or even fashion obsessed Cruella De Vil. Everything is about looks, appearances
and being delightfully villainous. With this in mind, we wanted to try and
recreate the signature looks from some of these famous villains for you to try
yourselves. </span></div>
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">

</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We toyed with ideas about how to do this, as normally a tutorial only requires
one person. We were both completely inspired and had ideas flowing for this
venture so decided instead of choosing one character each, we would do two
tutorials for each character!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We arrived before the park opening time and were able to have a wander round before the rides and show opened. This gave us a chance to make the most of some of the movie set things they had set up and get some photos! Orla had spotted the umbrella under the rain the previous day and was SO excited to have her picture taken under it. What happened next is sort of partly my fault for getting carried away while directing Orla to get a great shot (think Austin Powers type enthusiasm) and Orla's.....for being a massive clutz! I told her she should jump so that we got a picture of her holding the umbrella whilst mid air. Unfortunately Orla jumped in the wrong direction and head butted the handle of the umbrella. I got a brilliant action shot, but <span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969);">Orla got a huge lump and bright red mark!

It wasn't until they had left that it occurered to me that a pretty epic bump to the head at 9am in the morning, probably wasn't best treated on a fast paced rollarcoaster that goes upside down twice.....but she lived to tell the tale!</span></div>

We went on all of the rides we wanted to do for a second time and I came very close to going on an upside down coaster (nice try Orla)! </span></div>

Fiona was desperate to meet characters, little did she know, Orla and I had a trick up our sleeves that was going to make sure that happened. We met Captain Hook first, then Jafar and Maleficint. Followed closely by The Shadow Man and Cruella De Vill. The real highlight was Gaston. He took a liking to us because we reminded him of the three blondes from the film who adore him. He actually wouldn't let us leave until we had done their signature sigh/swoon for him! he sang Happy Birthday loudly and enthusiastically for Fiona and we had LOADS of pictures with him! </span></div>

We left the park and went over to Cafe Mickey in Disney Village. There we had booked lunch with the characters! Fiona got to meet the main man himself, Mickey, Donald, Chip & Dale, Gepetto and Pinocchio. After our meal the whole restaurant went crazy as Chip & Dale presented her with a cake that Orla and I had arranged. The whole restaurant was on their feet and singing. It was a very magical way to spend a birthday.....until Dale tried to steal the cake anyway! </span></div>
