Hair Care :)

Hey Guys,

just a short blog to give you all some insight into my hair care:)

My hair colour is natural blond not bright but kinda on the dirty blond side, my hair was always long ever since I was young.

I dyed my hair back in secondary school a dark brown and I still have it that colour now but its starting to brighten up on its own and it looks kinda nice so I'm gonna see what way it comes out for the summer and if I like it I might keep it that way.

My hair length was down to my hip which is pretty long I hated washing it so..... I got it cut :( It is now just below my shoulder.

I like it and I don't... I was so used to long hair but having it shorter is much easier to manage.

I always had straight hair even d'oh my hair has a natural wave to it, I didn't like it but now that it is shorter I love the wave I get when my hair is just washed and dried.

Some of the products I use are Aussie but I have just changed them ad ill show you the new ones that I am now using. I have a hair straightener but since I like my hair wavy/curly now I don't use it that much so I didn't add it in the photo.

                                Sorry the photo is side ways :(

In the photo we have;

Aussie Curl Definition + Soft Feel Serum

L'Oreal Elvive

Nutri-Gloss Conditioner

L'Oreal Elvive

Caring Shampoo Colour Protect

Pantene

Smooth and Sleek Treatment

Remington

Wand Curler

Kilroy's College

Hey Guys

So maybe I should have done this when I first got my starter pack from the college....but better late than never! So this is the Blue Folder you get in the post with all of your college papers and information stuff.

This is what comes in the pack

You get your Text Book, Test Paper, Paper and Pen, Information pack, Course Work to read.

This was the first part of the course and behind it is the plastic folder I keep it in .

These are some notes that I took, I keep all notes, ideas and photos in the same folder

( pictured behind )

This is what the test paper looks like

 already did this test and got 97% :)

the folder I keep it in

This is the hard back folder I keep my present course work in

I didn't want to have just plain boring black folders, I wanted something that was fun and colourful and that would brighten up my desk ( when I get it ) ha  when something is fun you don't mind doing it but when its boring you get " board" and don't like doing it so get some funky folders and have Fun Studying : )

How I Study....From Home

My Little Routine

I get up at half seven every morning, before I get my son up for his creche, I make his lunch, get his clothes ready plus an extra set as he is potty training ( doing great over two months and no accidents ). When everything is sorted I get  washed and dressed by half eight I get my little boy up, after he has his breakfast and a little play around we head off to the creche at about half nine : )

When I get back home I have my breakfast and at half ten  start my studying ... I set at my dinner table as I still haven't found the right desk that I want : ( I study until about two or 12  all depends on if I need anything from the library. I try to go over my notes about 2-3 times. I study nearly everyday I take Friday off to just relax and give myself a break. Ill do a post with some pictures of what you get in the pack when you start the course with Kilroy's College.

I'm Back....

Hey Guys,

So for the last few weeks now well nearly two months I haven't been able

to sign into my blog :(

But Yay.... here I am finally I got to sign in I have loads of updates for you all.

Anyways.... I finally got my exam results and I got....DRUM ROLL.....

97% YAY....  : )

I got the second part of my course it was about keeping your work space and tools clean, what kind of viruses there is, different lighting and how if can effect you make up, how to prepare your skin for make up, different types of make up for different types of skin.

So for my test it was all about how to clean a certain tool or explain what a certain item is used for.

It was pretty easy....well so I thought... when I had answered all the questions I thought

" that was easier than I thought it would be"... then I seen I had to do  facial on someone and take pictures as I was doing it.

Iv done everything now so I'm really hoping that I got at least a 70%, I nearly sure I did well on the question part but the facial part I'm not to sure about. While I was away I thought up loads of new blog posts to keep me going until I get the next part of my course.

I hope you like reading my blog and I promise that as soon as I get to practice my make up skills there will be loads and loads of pictures up and plenty of new blog posts  : )

Waiting........

So....

Its nearly two weeks..wait! no I thing its more like just over a week since

I sent back my exam paper, I still haven't heard anything back yet:(

I'm just hoping that its in the post and on its way.

I'm soooo ready to just get back into studying, I really just cant wait to

actually apply makeup :) i so want the next part of the course to be the application part:-)

Iv been getting very board lately iv been messing around with different types of styles with the make up i have.. which isn't that much but i have been starting to pick a few little things every week just to help build up a kit:)

Boredom is so doing my head in, its that bad that I have straightened my hair nearly every day

and that's huge for me as my hair is soooo thick and so long ( down to my hip ) it takes me ages to straighten it, like that's how board i am. So anyway because i have been playing round with my hair i have decided that its time to give it a good cut and colour my natural colour is blond but i have been auburn, brown, purple and orange but that one was a mistake ha and not very nice:)

I'm going to get it cut up to just under my shoulder so it better to manage and ill probably get it in like a light  brown with blond highlights and maybe a fringe? or side fringe? haven't made up my mind yet :)

I'm very attached to my hair i love the thoughts of getting it cut and coloured but when it comes to the crunch i do be like aawww maybe just a trim.

I was thinking that until i get my results back with my next module i will put up some little

blogs like a Whats In My Bag!, My Top 5 Must Haves!, stuff like that:)

Wasting Time!

Hi Guys,

So yesterday and now again today I just can not get myself

motivated!!!! I'm sitting down opening up me text book and closing it over again Ill get up and put on

an exercise DVD and do about 20 Min's of that, then start to clean my house then,

sit down again to try and study!!!! What is going on?!

I know I have to study and I really want to but as soon as I open the book something

will pop into my head and ill go and do that instead! I'm just hopping from one thing to an other and I'm starting to think that may be I should have signed up to "go to" college in stead of Studying at home at least in a college you have a tutor who tells you what and when you have

to do something! I'm so upset with myself fr not being able to concentrate on what I have to do!

Maybe I should write out a planner with what time i have to study at and for how long, what time i should clean up at and like do exercise that evening!

So my plan for tomorrow is:

Get  a planner

Write out a time table

Follow the time table to a tee

Doesn't seam that much now after I leave out all the stuff I have to do with my son and family ha

just looking at that little bit for college makes it look easy:)

My Daily Make Up Routine

Hi Guys,

So today is my  " Day Off" I always take a day off from studying and college and just relax,

well try to anyway.

While I was catching up on my 

You Tube Make Up Guru's I decided that maybe I should do my

make up routine! So many people on YouTube have theres up

while most of them are pretty much the

same, some are different. Mine is very basic some days I will only ever wear

concealer, eye liner and mascara with a little bit of tinted lip balm.

Ill go thru my routine step by step and ill add a picture of all the products that i have used.

First I start off by washing my face with

Body Shop Seaweed Exfoliator

Then I apply

Olay Wake Up Wonder Moisturiser

Foundation

MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC20

+

MAC Select Cover Up in NC20

Eyes

MAC Black Eye Liner

Maybelline The Colossal Volume Express Mascara

MUFE Eye Shadow in No 164

When I have applied all of my make up I just add a little bit of tinted lip balm I don't really use

a blusher but some times I will use Avon's Face Pearls just to give off a nice

summery glow :)

Bones Of The Skull

Hi Guys,

I'm moving slow in my course, I'm finding it hard to motivate myself into studing.

When I was doing the part of the course with the skintones, I found it a little bit hard but as soon as I wrote out the chapter...and yes it took me a while to do it :)...I dont know what happened it just clicked and I got what it ment and found my own undertone, but now I'm on to Anatomy and Physiology which is the Bones of the head and face. Its harder than I thought it would be, I have wrote out and read it over and over again like nearly 6 pages ( A4 ). It really has me knocked back for some reason, I never give up this quick and I dont know why I have??

It's actually a good chapter in the book it helps you learn about not only the bones and muscles but also

helps with spotting signs of skin cancer, moles, sun-damaged skin and what to do! I'ts very helpful I just have to get it in my head that this is a very important part of make up, I'll just have to keep thinking of the end result:) I'll add a picture of a skull with markings of some of the bones I have to learn just to give you an idea off what I'm talking about :).

Exam:)

Hi Guys:)

So I just sent back my first exam:o I'm very nervous about it I don't think i did that well on it! When you study from you have all the information there right in front of you while your doing you exam, so there's no one to tell you not to cheat or take a little peek at some answers......But thankfully I didn't cheat:) I'm so proud of myself because even when I knew I didn't know the answer I still tried my very best to answer it, at least I know that if i get a good grade or even a bad one I know I tied my best with it. If I get a bad/ low grade I'll try even harder in the next exam I hoping I get a good grade. Getting time to do the exam was harder then I thought it would be, my son was off on his Christmas Holidays, so while he was up watching cartoons I tried to start it,well as soon as I put the pen to the paper I got " Mammy,  I need juice" Or " Mammy,sit beside me and cuddle me" :) I love my little boy so much, so I put my exam away and started it that night when he went to bed, it didn't take that long to do 2-3 pages where check lists to see how you see your self, you had to describe your self, eh.... what you would change about yourself and a page with only 3 questions on legislation's. Im excited about getting my next module I cant wait to get started:)
