Wishlist // On the Ninth Day of Christmas...

I first discovered Bumble & Bumble when the lovely folks at Elle UK sent me a freebie sample of their thickening hairspray, and since I have not looked back. 

1 // Curl Conscious Calming Creme // This magic formula promises to smooth, soften and loosen tight curls without the crunchiness! Which is something other brands I have tried haven't quite managed to achieve. I have faith though... this brand's products were crafted by unicorn tears, I am sure.

2 // Brilliantine // This fabulous formula gives hair polish and a sort of languid, slept in, sexy look with separation and extra sheen. If like me your mornings consist of drinking tea, watching this morning and crushing over Ashley Robert's beautiful blonde locks. The description pretty much describes her hair... I probably need it.  

3 // Thickening Hairspray // This stuff is AH-MAZING. For those days when your hair is just way too silky to be manageable spritz a little of this through the lengths and brush it through for an instant burst of va-va-voom! I love it. 

4 // Thickening Serum // This leave in treatment fattens and fortifies over time for thicker, stronger strands and fuller hair. Recently I quit wearing extensions opting for a more natural look, but wearing extensions for years  has damaged my hair so in parts its only just growing back. I need a quick fix to plump it up and return it to its former glory, I think this just might be the one!

Sunday Summary // Week 3

What I'm watching

I'm a bit of a pussy with scary films but true to tradition, on Halloween we sat down to watch The Awakening. I actually really enjoyed it! It's a period film which is an instant thumbs up from me, and doesn't exactly follow the traditional horror story layout - it's more beefy in the story department. And it has an amazing twist to the ending, pulled at my heart strings! 
Anyway, if you haven't seen in give it a try, it's not that scary so everyone can give it a go! 

What I'm listening to 

AM - Arctic Monkeys. These guys are my absolute favourite band and have been for the last decade or so! Their last album  wasn't amazing but they're definately back to their old selves and this album proves that. 
I love each and every song which features - seriously don't think I'll ever tire of these folks. 

What I'm reading

I've just began re-reading Cecilia Aherns - Where Rainbows End. It's one of my favourite novels by one of my favourite authors. Cecilia Ahern writes with a certain magical quality and her novels read almost as adult fairy tales. If you ever need a release from reality or a refreshing reminder of the innocence of childhood and that firm belief that all life is doused in magic, read one of her novels! I love, Thanks for the Memories and The Gift - a goodie for the Christmas period! 

What I'm craving

I've been really naughty this week... My boyfriend received his grade for his masters so we've been celebrating all weekend! I made a cake (which is gone!), we bought some truffles and have plied ourselves with alcohol. 
There's no room for craving...

What I'm lusting after 

Its all been a little jewellery orientated this week... I've been checking out stockists online and drawing up a few designs trying to decide what goodies I want! I'm not sharing though, you'll have to wait and see when the online shop goes live. 
Get excited!

The only other thing I really need is the 'Why'd you only call me when your high' merch tee from the recent tour, though I can't seem to find it anywhere online :( booo!

What I'm buying 

I've been good this week. The only major splurge was my hair! I've had it stripped back and dyed a lovely chocolate brown colour. The idea was to go as close to my natural colour as possible so I can quit dying it and let it grow without fussing about my roots. I adore it! The lovely Kristian took care of me, he gave me a gorgeous finish and now I am able to happily wear it without my extensions. 
I'm like a new woman! 

What I'm wishing 

That the snow would fall already // That chocolate wasn't so bad for you // That I had a single idea toward Christmas gifts // That I had more fluffy pj's! // That the Christmas market would get going! 
(Dropping the C-bomb a little early... I'm excited, sue me.)
