Growing my hair

Well, hello there my lovely readers! :)

I'm not sure how long ago it was, possibly half a year, i thought it would be a splendid idea to cut my hair short! .. I regret it deeply and I'm extremely eager to grow my hair back. I've read some ways to grow hair, but i just remembered another one - which i haven't been using!

One of them is to keep your hair down a lot, or at least lose. I think that's because it doesn't strain your hair, and it gives it more freedom to grow. I'm not entirely sire why but it might work? I have absolutely no idea on the actual scientific reason, but hey hum.
 
I also heard that drinking a lot of water helps.. I'm not sure why, again, but on the bright side; even if it doesn't make your hair grow faster, its good for your skin, and in general, quite a good thing to do i suppose. I hope there isn't any body finding it really irritating that i don't really know the reasons behind these, but they are just some things Ive heard, I'm not even sure if they work!
 
There is one thing  i think works, and it sounds a little odd, but cutting it will make it grow faster. I understand that when your really want long hair those inches can seem very precious. However, in the first two weeks after your hair has been cut it grows a lot faster than it would usually. Therefore, getting regular trims, will actually help it grow (in keep those split ends away)! I think its because, when you cut away split ends your hair can work more in growing than repairing.

However, i did a little online research and some people are saying that its only an illusion; hair looks like its growing faster when it has been cut just because its shorter and its more obvious. I'm not really sure, if I'm honest, but I'll be trying it anyway.
 
I'll be trying pretty much anything  i can to grow my hair, and if i find out any more ways to grow hair faster then I promise you I'll be blogging about it. And please let me know if you have any ways to grow hair that i don't know of?

Slight camera issues..

As i explained in my previous post - my phone is dead. And i just realised; My actual camera died a few days before i left. Meaning that i had to use my phone camera.. And now my phone is dead. So there may be a lack of photos in the next few posts until i find another camera i can use..
 
I asked my Dad if i could get an DSLR for a Christmas + birthday present, but he hasn't said yes (or no *fingers crossed) yet. Anyway, thought I'd mention before my blog started to look really boring and you had no idea why!
 
Well, that's all for now. Ill be back soon, with some make up, fashion.. maybe a little something on books. Wink wink!

Im baaaack!!

Heya! :)
 
I'm sorry i haven't posted in a while (five days i think) but Ive been at greenbelt!!
 
Just in case you aren't aware of what greenbelt is, its a christian festival - its got films, music, talks, stuff like that. Its really good. We go every year (our family) along with a couple of our friends family's and we always put our tents in a little ring, haha.
 
Unfortunately, Adam, will, Daniel and i were down at the canopy when it started to rain. Adam thought it would be a good idea to go get wills wellies from the tent. So we were casually walking up when the rain got waaay harder! We all had our phones in our pockets and they are now dead (accept wills nokia, of course), and we got completely soaked!
 
So I'm going to have to either pay for a new phone, try to get something from insurance or let it get worse. If you know any good ways to get water out of phones please let me know?
 
Anyway, I'll be back posting from now on!! :)

Charlie | review

 
This time last year, i probably would have told you that my favourite spray was charlie. I'll admit that i did go off them for a while. But , i was just cleaning out my make-up/ accessories/ smelly stuff and nail varnishes draw when i found a few!
 
 I love the designs on the packaging, they are just the right size to put in your hand bag, or school bag, and they smell pretty good. Plus, for only 99p, its quite a bargain.. However The actual smell doesn't last long, so you have to re spray throughout the day. I don't particularly mind, cause it doesn't cost much to just go get a few more!
 
Also, when you get a proper (expensive) perfume, it does some thing where it changes or something? There are different layers which you can smell once you've put it on.. meaning that it lasts a long time - which you don't get with charlie.
 
Despite all this, I'm not entirely sure why, but i still really like them!
 
My favourite is "touch",
"A signature scent to suit every mood, giving you the confidence to do what you do"
It smells a but.. chemical-ie .. if that's a word .. but i really love it, and its perfect for after PE! :p
 
I'd probably recommend this if you want something that smells nice and it very portable. Especially if you want something to bring to school, enjoy!
