Attempt at new Hairdressers....

....didn't go so nicely....

I don't understand why, as I always ask directly for what I want, although I think its the woman's actual cutting ability that isn't so good...well not on my hair in any case.

So my being adventurous cost me £15, and its at the length I wanted it, but it is no where near the shape and style I want it to be.

I like it simple....trim off a few inches, long layers around the bottom(to stop it from being chunky and bulky), feathered layers at the front, straighten the front layers up...and put thinning scissors through it........direct and simple, I ask this every time with few minor changes or alterations.

She doesn't seem to know how to layer properly, and uses thinning scissors far too much, and as you can tell by the bottom of my hair where its supposed to be straightish...its not :(

I is in a whining mood....

Thankfully I am going to pay another £9 to my old hairdressers who I know, will fix it...but I thought I could get a decent haircut without having to drag myself down to my old town which is 2hours away :(

Rooibos Tea...

......is very distinctive.

I went for a wander in Holland & Barretts to their tea section, looking for something that is healthy but not fruity...as fruity tea to me always tasted like diluting juice that was heated up. I looked through all of them, and noticed one with a noticeable design on the box, Tick Tock.

I pondered for a little while over it, reading that it was high in antioxidants and you could take it with sugar and milk. I put the box back up, and thought to myself that I was being daft.

Continuing my wander through the town, and followed on to the Supermarket to buy odds and ends, and I found myself at the tea section again, and there it was. The tea was only £1.18 and I got 40 tea bags, I thought I would just give it a try.

As I write this blog, I am sipping on the tea with its distinctive taste....wikipedia says it has a nutty and sweet flavour to it, if that is what they call it...then I can agree.

Its not a bad tasting tea, but I think I will have to take a while before I really get myself acquired to the taste.

It certainly feels healthy

Addicted To Paranormal?

The Little Holiday

I have been back from the little holiday to Berwick-Upon-Tweed for a few days now, which was lots of fun and I was glad to see most of my friends. We were lucky to have nearly nice sunny weather every day too, and I took a lot of photographs as well.
