Flirty Up-do ;)

My lovely house mate Chloe let me loose on her hair recently, so I decided to create a very pretty and girly up-do. I did a braided headband that wrapped all the way around the back of her neck and into a messy bun, check it out...
 

I think this 'do would look good on girls of any age and is good for formal and casual occasions. It is soft and classy, yet looks a lot more complicated than it really is. Send me pictures on twitter, @AbiHernon if you try this :D

Coke Taste Test

For fun me and my house mate Pip (allthingspippa.blogspot.com) decided we would see if we could do a blind coke taste test. We used Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Pepsi, Diet Pepsi and Pepsi max. We labelled some shot glasses and filled them with the matching drinks. We were blind folded one at a time and had to drink each shot and guess what it was while the other gave ticks and crosses.

We decided to keep the suspense going, and stop any potential cheating, by not revealing the scores until the end. Pip only got 1 out of 6, bless her, and I got a massive 2! Although it would have been 4, but I swapped two of my answers round, uhh! This was harder than it sounds. I know this is a really random blog, but it was actually quite fun! What will bored student's do to procrastinate next eh?

fancy ponytail

Like many of you out there in cyber space, I have to have my hair up for work. Rather than go for a standard ponytail or bun, I really love to add braids into my hair-do. They are quick and fairly simple to do, but look complicated and are guaranteed to get compliments. Here are some pictures of just one way I like to do my hair...








First, make a deep side part in your hair and separate a section off on the side with the least hair. Spray some water or gel onto the section, comb through and do a french braid straight back, until the ear, finishing with a regular braid and tie off with a small elastic. On the larger side, you start a lace braid (adding in hair only from the front) from the top corner of the parting and continue all the way until the back of the ear and secure with a small elastic. Gather all the hair into a ponytail and remove the small elastics from the braids. Add hairspray and you're good to go!
