Hair be on Fleeeek!!!

Now it's weird how this sudden boom of braids and cainrows is all the range right now.  Like my Mums been cainrowing my hair since the 80's and her mums been cainrowing her hair, and my Nana's mums been cainrowing her hair etc etc.... You can see where I'm going with this....

Kinda sad that it takes the Kardashians to throw this historical hair trend in to the popular scene when these hairstyles have been going on way before any of them were born!... Anyway... Rant over lol.

It has however led me to the discovery of this amazing talent, now my new personal stylist (even better she lives in East London so I can pop in whenever for a new look.... Eeek!) Miss Amy! 

Her Instagram is covered in various styles and she covers a range of techniques.

My girl can plait, cainrow, twist and weave and she's been perfecting her skills for many years, way back from when her mum bought her a mannequin head to practice on. 

Amy has worked at festivals including working alongside brands such as ASOS and Adidas...... She also works with Keashbraids who are often seen at events and festivals.

So if you fancy a new look hit her up..... She's done my hair once already.... And she knows I'm gonna be back to see her over and over again......Thanks again Aims......x

Shes the hottie in the bottom left ;)

The Perfect Selfie......

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Ever been out whether it's in the club or a bar.... Basically anywhere with crap lighting and your selfie photos come out whack!!!????....... Yer me too... You would of thought the amount I'm forking out on this iPhone 6 they would of made the front facing camera AMAZEBALLS!!!......well it ain't....!!!!
So I've now got me one of those selfie cases.... These first came to my attention when I saw the infamous Kim Kardashian using one aaaaages ago. Since then I've seen all these  different companies doing there own versions.
I got mine from a company called Illumicase.
I chose the white one, but they come in a range of colours and since I got mine I've now seen that they now do them with personalised Swarovski crystals. I think I paid around £20.
I have played around with it indoors and I can definitely see the difference. I've yet to take it out with me for there real test, but I'm sure the pics will come out great judging by the ones I took messing about in my house LOL

So...... Next time your out 'in the cluuuub' and start taking pics with the girls..... Maybe consider getting a light up phone case..... It can make all the difference..... Trust me!

i'm on YOUTUBE....Eeeeeeek!

Now after A LOT of consideration I have now decided to branch out in to the world of YOUTUBE!!!!! (Scary as hell!!!!)

Again, this kind of relates back to the 'About Me' section of my site where I talk about not feeling creative enough in life and want to do more as my 9-5 is so not fulfilling.  Also a lot of nudging and egging on from a few close ones around me telling I'll be fab on it (yerrr right???!??lol) ....
Its so weird I am quite a confident person...but certain things/situations make me go all shy and timid and I feel that I need that extra push to just get me over the hill...when i've already climbed 90% of it already......weird??

So my channel with have a similar feel to my Blog - it will be a lifestyle channel consisting of hair and product reviews, demos, shopping hauls, a few vlogs and a sprinkling of whatever else takes my fancy.

I'm particularly looking forward to my collab video with SINGLESUPERMUMMY called 'How To Get A Record Deal'...we must reach a million views when that comes out cause its gonna be funny as hell!!!!!...........trussss me.....as well as some challenge videos with my brother from another mother
MR ZAC CAMERON.
Gonna try get my boo to do some couples vids as well...but he's gonna take some persuading as he isnt really about that life...so to speak...LOL


So anyway my first video is about some Senegalese twists that I had done a while ago.
I do mix up a few of my words in this first video and the lighting could of been better I also say Errrmmm  quite a lot...but overall I'm happy with it...and I'm quite proud of myself for actually pressing the PUBLISH button for the whole world to see.  Eeeeeeek!!!!!

Have a look if you fancy.....
I do kinda need the views and subscribers though - so it would be nice if you could help a sister out LOL.

Heres you YOUTUBE!

Fried Dumpling in a Dessert????? - OH YERRRRR!!!

Now the idea of a fried dumpling as a desert threw me wayyyy off.   I'm used to having that accompanied with a more savoury dish eg. Ackee and Saltfish, a side to a Caribbean main etc...or for breakfast with my nana's fried plantain....YASSSSSSSSS!!!!!

So when this new shop popped up in my local area with this lady handing out free taster samples I was like naaaa I need to taste this, thinking at the same time is this is really gonna taste nice though???

So I took hubby along to try this out.  I had been telling him about this dumpling desert place for agggesss so after work off we went.

We were welcomed by the 2 owners who gave us such a nice welcome.... We actually got really chatty with them both while the dumplings were being made.  They cracked a few jokes with me and my boyfriend and overall made us feel like we were regulars or something.  Good old hospitality gets you far..... Trust me!  Them days when you order food and the change gets slammed on the counter was NOT present here LOL.

We got to try the Pling Butty while we were waiting, which is like a crisp sandwich but made out of dumpling instead of the bread. Random I know!!!!! But again it tasted so good!

So here's how it works.

Me and hubby both ordered the medium size Pling Dae and you have to choose each layer as shown below.

They have a variety of fillings and sauces to choose from. Who remembers old school Rainbow Drops? Yes they even have those which took me back (I'm showing my age now).

I opted for Chocolate Buttons, Marshmallows and Strawberry sauce.  While my boyfriend got....Crunchie Sprinkles and Strawberry sauce.

We chilled in the sun and ate ours outside the shop and I must say it was very nice indeed!!!
The Dumpling wasn't heavy as you'd think it would be.... It was very light and definitely went well with the ice-cream and fillings.

Would definitely pass through Percy Plings again.... A nice alternative to the typical ice-cream dessert.  I'd need to hit the treadmill afterwards though....lol.... But it's definitely worth it.

So go get Plinged out!.......
