I Love (and hate) Sundays

As much as I dread the end to my all to short weekend there are a few things to look forward to on Sundays...
                                                     

The latest Sunday night TV addiction is Birdsong. My sister studied Birdsong for exams and raved about it! (I will now be stealing this book when she isn't looking). It is a 2 part drama and so far it is excellent! The horror of war is portrayed in a haunting way instead of relying on gratuitous violence, and the romantic parts tender and steamy without being cringe worthy.

                                                           

Sundays are also Hair Dye Days! In December I had a rebellious moment. After nearly 25 years of being VERY conservative about what I do with my hair I decided to go PLUM! Unfortunately the vibrancy of the purple fades after about 6 weeks and you are left with more of a faint tint. This weekend I decided I missed the bright perple and gave it another go!
                                                  
I love L'oreal Casting Creme, (I use 2 boxes) but it is so easy to apply and leaves your hair manageable and well conditioned. Also the conditioner that comes with it smells gorgeous!
Does anyone else have those crazy hair/ beauty moments?

Pareee!!!!!

So I have done it, I have booked my Easter Holiday holiday to you guessed it...
                                                            
I am so excited, I have been loads of times before so will do the usual, climbing the Tower, walking the Champs Elysees and eating crepes. However I vow to do some new things this time...climbing the Arc de Triomphe, visiting the Catacombs and going to the awesome Palace of Versailles.

                                                       

Anyone got any suggestions for other things to do?

Eek! My first post

I am surprised at how self conscious I feel typing this...Oh well here goes.

I thought I would make my first few posts about some of the things I love at the moment...

1) My super value nail polish from Primark

This set of 4 lush colours (I am really into nude and blush shades at the moment) was only £2. Normally I am really picky about nail varnish, if it doesn't dry in 60 seconds I am not interested! However at that price for those colours I thought I'd give it ago.
I am so impressed with the results, flat and even colour that dried quite quickly...

...however even with a topcoat it chips far too easily. The picture above was taken after painting my nail whereas the one below was taken the next evening after a day at work.

I am thinking about investing in a topcoat which is more durable against chipping. Any suggestions?
