Out with the old, In with the new...( + some re-arranging)

Hello my lovely readers,

How are you all doing? I have the first of two posts for you today. The second one will be posted later this afternoon but this one has been in the works for quite some time. However the pictures were not quite right so I had to re-do the entire thing...!Soooo this post is about me replacing my very old and very well loved hairbrush with the infamous Tangle Teezer. I purchased mine in Disco Purple from a fabulous website called : http://www.lookfantastic.com
My old brush was (I think) from the Body Shop and my mom bought it for me 12 years ago. It has been holding up relatively well all these years however I felt like it was time to let go!Once, it started falling apart so I did some research and ended up buying the tangle teezer to replace it with!!

                                                           The two side by side.....





















                                                              THE OLD/THE NEW

Now, since I am featuring the Tangle Teezer I might as well talk about it a little bit.

I am going to start by saying that I loooove looooove loooooove it...!!!
It is such a handy little thing and it leaves my hair smooth with minimum breakage. It is easy to use, amazing on wet and dry hair and it de-tangles my hair like a freakin' dream!! I cannot recommend this enough to be honest. The price on it is reasonable as well which makes it even easier for me to recommend.
Here are some more pictures for you...





















Now for the extra bit of this post....!!As I was opening my hair drawer to get these products out and photograph them I realised how much of a mess it was so I HAD TO clean it out and re-organise. Here is a before and after for you.....

                               


















                    BEFORE                                                                                              AFTER

Are you all proud of me??
Let me know if you've ever tried the Tangle Teezer or whether you had a Body Shop hair brush as a kid ;)

Random Post Sunday: Things I suck at!!

So, I have been contemplating starting a feature post for a while now but I was unsure about the content. And since I have been enjoying vlogs on youtube lately I thought I should start the "Random Post Sunday" feature where I will write a random post every Sunday, about any topic that I feel is entertaining and/or informative. It probably won't be beauty related (or it might...who knows??!!)but I hope you'll still enjoy it....!!Let me know what you think...;)

So, I was watching the lovely and absolutely hilarious Jenna Marbles and I stumbled across the "Things I suck at" video she made a while ago and I thought I should also be honest with myself and others and share with you some of the things I suck at....

1. I suck at ironing. 
The truth is, I suck at it because I think it is an unnecessary, time-consuming activity, hence I don't even bother with it. 

2. I suck at football.
I really suck at football...!Enough said... :P

3. I suck at saying no to my dog.
Just one look at her puppy eyes and all my self-coaching goes out the window...!
Me: No, you're not going to give her another treat.
*Puppy eyes*
Me: Oh there you go...here is another little treat. 

4. I suck at picking up heavy stuff.
I have NO upper body strength...!!

5. I suck at controlling myself when I go make-up shopping.
Come on...admit it...you can relate to this one...

6. I suck at taking my own advice.
Yep...another classic...!!However I would have to say that I do often take my own advice...well not often...but a good 40% of the time...!

7. I suck at knowing when to stop talking.
Much like other people who talk a lot, I often have issues determining what is the right moment to stop talking. Fortunately, I do have a good sense of limits when it comes to embarrassing myself or others...!So, I can keep my mouth shut when I have to but when I don't I can go on and on...:P 

8. I suck at controlling my left eyebrow. 
Let me briefly explain...!Whenever I don't like something, someone is talking about or I strongly disagree with them, I will raise my left eyebrow, slightly. This involuntary action is very difficult to control which often results in awkward encounters with people who don't know me all that well. 

9. I suck at taking compliments. 
As many my friends, ex-boyfriends, family members and acquaintances will tell you I suck at taking compliments...!When someone gives me a compliment I will normally come up with a response along the lines of: 
Really??? *awkward silence* well...thanks...
Well, it's ok...
Yep, whatever...
Oh well...
Oh, I don't like it
It sucks really but what can you do

10. I suck at chess.
Much like Jenna, I suck at chess...!I think my brain just goes: DOES NOT COMPUTE...when it comes to chess...!

So...there you have it...."Things I suck at"....!!For obvious reasons, I omitted some personal embarrassing failures...! :P
I hope this post was, at least, entertaining....! ;)
