Ideal Home Show!

I came back from university on Thursday after spending an extra week with my chummies in our student house for loltimes (and dissertation work). Yesterday (Friday), my lovely parents and I took a little day trip to LANDAN for the Ideal Home Show at Earls Court. Its a big showcase of all things homey, soooo wallpaper, kitchen work tops, swimming pools etc. They also had "woman" section, which was mainly make up and fashion and a "food" section which had lots of free tasters which I thoroughly enjoyed ;) I took some pictures of the things that I liked, but there was way more than this:
 Yeh thats right. I got to meet George Clarke. Who is he I hear you ask? well I didn't know at first either haha but hes that guy off the TV who paints everything white before he revamps it, kinda like DIY SOS. Hes such a nice guy and he's got these really cool renovation projects going called "renovation man" and "amazing spaces".  He's got a really positive attitude about making affordable and realistic changes and yeh, I just really liked him.
 I thought these were cute and my friend Sophie would like them ;) she's all about the moustaches lol

 Some of the things in this place were truly bizarre. Like who would want to sit and get their teeth whitened in front of 1000s of people for 20 minutes. For £70?! I guess it was reduced from 120.
This is a cool futuristic library seat, featured in the Virgin Media Sustainable Home section. Doesn't look too comfy to me but ya know, looks funky.

As I said earlier there were many things that I thought were amazing but haven't featured (mainly due to lack of photo taking). One of my favourite features was a mock up "Only Fools and Horses" set which is very retro and old fashioned, with clashing wallpaper prints and carpet patterns. They had revamped it to show you what it would look like now, nicely furnished.

The food was kind of expensive, so I would say if your planning on going you could take your own food. But I wont say that because oh my god the burger I had from the food section was devinneeeeeeeee. Oh and you get loads of freebies so you could just get filled up on free vodka shots, gravy stock pots, salami and balsamic vinegar :)

Hair-do!

Soooo, it got to the stage in my life where I had a hair crisis. Basically it was long, kind of (on one side) and the other side was ridiculously damaged. I looked like the barbie doll you decided to give a hair cut that one time:
to be fair. I had just got up when I took this, glasses and all haha

I got it cut and highlighted :) and now it looks like:
I do like it, its just a bit different at the moment, not quite used to it yet!
