Man flu or the Plague?!

I AM THE WORLDS ABSOLUTE CRAPPIST BLOGGER. EVER!

In the last couple of days i have just caught up on all my youtube videos that i have been missing over the last month because.... dum da da duuuum... i have been ill!

Actually i think dying may be a more appropriate word to use.

To give you a quick run down of where i have been and what i have been doing in the last couple of months... here it is :)

• At the end of September i came back to university! (wahooo for being a 2nd year!)
• FRESHERS TAKE 2 (lets not lie, i went out.. a lot) 
• The Dreaded freshers flu attacks!
• I actually start uni and decide to be an AMAZING student and keep on top of all my work
• I get the actual flu
  Stage 1- sore throat
  Stage 2-Cough
  Stage 3- Chesty cough and blocked nose
  Stage 4- Constant headache
  Stage 5- a little bit of everything above!
• Though throughout these horrific 3 weeks of dying i still manage to go out! (hardcore student here! 
• Start to actually feel better from the flu 
• Lag behind in all note typing up
• Catch up on note typing up only to lose my memory stick at university! 
• wake up with yet another sore throat! 

So now i am sore throated up! behind on most of my uni work and need to wake up in 6 hours to start uni all over again! so until next time blog friends! and i shall leave you with some pictures from my time here at uni so far! :)

♡DYE HAIR DYE!♡

If by any chance you are like me and like to destroy your hair with hair dye, heated tools and lots of hair spray, then this is the place for you! 

Blonde, red, brown, light brown, dark brown, black, ginger, purple, you name it i have probably already done it! 

I think that generally i have a pretty good skin tone where i do suit most hair colours, that being said i wont be dying my hair black again any time soon (it was a little to harsh i think for me). Whenever anyone asks me 'why dont you just pick a colour and stick to it!?'- and usually that question is coming from either my mum or my nan haha! But my answers are always the same! 

1) I get bored, not just of the colour on my head but also of life, and when im feeling like i need to do something a bit CARAYZAYYY! surely it is better to just go out and spend £7 on a DIY hair dye rather than spend £100 on a tattoo i will probably regret, or a shopping spree i dont actually need to have! 

2) ROOTS! When i am happy with my hair colour, i do leave it but when my roots get so bad where i have to choice but to re-dye i always think 'hmm, maybe i'll go this colour this time!' change is sometimes really good, and fun!

And 3) all my life i have wanted to be a ginge! my aunty have ginger hair, 3 of my cousins have ginger hair, and my brother has ginger hair, as well as other relatives on both sides of my parents! and me?! oh im allergic! Thats right, i am allergic to red hair colorant! *tear*. and as you may have noticed above i said i have had red hair colour before?! yes that is true! i learnt the hard way (the very hard way ) that i was allergic to red hair dye! *ALWAYS DO THE SWATCH TEST!* But the time i was a red head was the best of my hair life! :) 

So here is a little of my hair back ground since about easter!

MARCH- I had seen The Hunger Games about 3 times in the cinemas and had developed a MAHOOSIVE! girl crush on Jennifer Lawrence! her hair, her make up, her clothes, her face! so using THIS PICTURE as inspiration i went to the hair dressers and had my hair hi-lighted, a fringe cut in and i LOVED it! 

APRIL- I went back to uni and took my brand spanking new-JLaw inspired hair with me! 

*3 months later*

AUGUST- I had been home from uni for around a month and with a little money in my bank account i decided 3 months was long enough and it was time for a change, THAT AND MY ROOTS WERE GETTING PRETTY HIDEOUS!! using a DIY hair dye i dyed my hair a medium brown and went to the hairdressers for some red hi lights (i can still have red hi lights as it doesnt touch my scalp when its in a foil! 

SEPTEMBER- Becasue i had had bleach on my hair prior to the August dye job, my hair colour faded pretty fast! so when it came to dying it again i was torn, dark brown or go cray cray and dye it purple again? needless to say i chose the crazier option and bought the PURPLE dye! 

-now that was quite a long 'introduction' so im just going to shut up now and post some lovely photos of my hair dying experiance! :) 

1) set up the dye!

2) Make sure you use protection!! or else you will get  purple hands! 

3) you will make a mess! especially if you are dying your own hair! so use some cotton wool a bit of warm soapy water and just rub over your skin to wipe it off! works a treat! :)

+

4) rinse, shampoo, repeat.

5) CONDITION! conditioner is your friend! you can see below how much hair you will lose just from the dying part, must keep those ends moist! :)

 6) clean the bath! it will be very messy, and you dont want your mum, dad or nan to come home and see all those purple specks! 

 7) wrap your hair in a towel and leave for a good ten minutes, it will soak up some of the wetness and make drying easier. 

8) Before you have even combed through your mane of hair! you will be able to feel how dry it is! so add some products to moisture and hydrate it so its all sparkly when its done! (as seen below!) 

-note make sure you do use an old towel because it will get ruined! 

9) never brush wet hair, always comb! 

10) heat defense is your BFF!

11) always dry your hair after you have dyed it! so you can see what the finish colour really looks like!

Voila! and style as you like! :)

REVIEW

I am one of those people who will always buy the brand on offer! - I do love a bargain! :) 

However i do like to stick to l'oreal brands when it comes to dying my hair! (dont know why just do.)

the brand however i decided to use this time was the Superdrug own brand and this is what i thought of it!

PRICE

At the price of £3.99  or 2 for £5.49 it is the best bargain out there! i bought 2 as i have not terribly long but quite thick hair, and the worst hair mistake is having to little product to actually cover all your hair! 

PACKAGING

The box was just like any box, a picture of a pretty model on the front with lovely make up! the packaging for the product of the actual dye was fine as a simple bottle and an applicator where the dye came out nice and smoothly! for the conditioner it was a simple tube with not much detail but looked just fine! (see the pictures above!)

PRODUCT

When i first applied the dye to my scalp the first thing i noticed was that it was really cold! is that weird!? i dont know. Anyway! the dye was quite thin and watery and by using only one of the boxes i was able to fully cover my whole head this was very pleasing as now i have a back up for when the dye starts to fade!! YAY! :) the conditioner it came with was a really nice surprise as well! the tube was very big which is very welcome after having little tiny samples which often come in other boxed hair dyes, this one however can so called stretch for 6 uses! 

FINISH PRODUCT

I am so impressed with the finished look! its shiny and dark and i think it does match quite well the colour i expected it too! although it will take a while to get use to how dark it now is i can say hand on my heart that i will definitely use this brand as a hair dye again! 
RATING
5/5 cheap cheerful and gives great results, i cant fault it at all! 

though this did make me laugh! haha!

Follow me on instagram (paigeey1993) and twitter :)

Thanks for reading :)

♡Paige on Paige!♡

When Jonathon Ross is unavailable, interview yourself. simple. 

what could be a better way of starting my new and way more improved blog than with a very long and lengthy questions and answers post!? Answer.. there is no better way!
I did a little bit of thievery thieving and STOLE these question from Miss Zoella and you can read her post (from about 3 years ago) HERE and if you fancy doing it to, then link it in the comment section below! i think its such a great way to get to know one another (and not quite as intimidating as posting a youtube video!) 
So without any more of this chit chatting introduction, here are the questions! 

SECTION1.ME 

Do you have any siblings? 

Yes i do, i have a brother who is 17 and 2 step sisters and a step brother! How old are you? 

I am 19 and my birthday is April 20th! What's your height? 

I am about 5"1/2 i think!

What's your top/dress size? 

It depends where i shop and what style of dress it is, but generally i fit somewhere between the sizes of 16 up to 20!

Do you have any diet plans/tips? 

I go through phases where i am really unhappy with my body and work out and eat really healthy, but them i also have times where i don't care and eat all kinds of crappy food at all times of the day, but when i am trying to be healthier, i generally eat a lot of salads, potatoes, soup and try to stay away from sugary food, bread and fizzy drinks!

Do you workout/How do you stay so slim?

During my first year at University there was a gym in the building i was living in, so i use to go to the gym for 40 mins to an hour, about 6 days a week, then i sprained my ankle (no due to an exercise injury) and it didn't heal properly until i had actually finished my first year. Next year i am not living in the same building but renting a house with some friends and i am generally one of those people that don't like to workout outside, but in a gym so i'm not to sure yet as to whether i am going to join the gym or try and get over my fear of exercising outside!

Do you have any pets? 

In my childhood i use to have a lot of fish and a couple of rabbits, but sadly they all died a long time ago. Now i have a puppy called Bruce (well he's 1 and a half years old but he'll always be a baby to me)

[] Mr Bruce []

1. 
   

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? This will sound so boring, but right now i am working 5 days a week doing shift work, so i am so tired and whenever i have down time i like to chill out watching TV, online, walking my dog, this summer i have been absolutely awful at seeing my friends because i am so tired, but when i do have the energy i also love to paint and draw, SHOP (of course), exercise (occasionally) and go visit my family or hang out with friends!

Who inspires you? 

In regards to online people, Louise (sprinkleofglitter and if you click HERE you can see her blog or HERE to go to her youtube channel) absolutely inspires me! I have never actually met her, but she is the most beautiful person, and i don't mean looks wise (although she really is a stunnah!) what i mean is that she has the most beautiful soul and whenever i am having a bad and gloomy day she makes me really appreciate the smaller things and cheers me up right out of my little humffy mood! Other bloggers/vloggers who inspires me include Fleur (fleurdeforce click HERE and HERE), Fleur really inspires me to work hard, and if i work hard i can really achieve what i want, in both your personal and professional life! and the last blogger/vlogger i want to mention is Nikki (nikkiphillippi click HERE and HERE) Nikki, inspires me to be a better person, she is always so positive in her videos and makes me want to make a better life for myself than a lot of other young people my age.

What do you feel is your greatest achievement? 

My greatest achievement i think has to be going to university and being independent and studying something i have never done before!

What do you value most in life? 

The thing i value most is probably nature! I know that may sound a bit bleurgh! But it amazes me how beautiful the world is and it can really change my mood when i see a beautiful sunset or flower!

What do you do? 

I am a student, and work in McDonalds during time off from univeristy(HOW EXCITING)!

What is your dream job? 

I don't even know what my dream job is at the moment but i would really like to do something in the entertainment industry!

What did you take for your GCSE'S I took History, Health and social care and French which i dropped as i also did a course in hairdressing 

Do you make good grades? 

I think i do just under average, but when i actually revise and put a lot of effort into my work then i do quite well!

What is your ethnicity? 

Im pretty much British through and through although my Great Grampa was Scottish! 

Do you want to get married later on in life? 

Absolutely, but you never know where life will take you and i want to make sure that whoever i do marry i know 100% is  my one and only

Do you have any phobias? I have no diagnosed phobias but i hate, hate WASPS to the point i have screamed and ran away in front of all the people i work with and a restaurant full of customers at work not so long ago! EMBARRASSING! 

Have you ever had a near death experience? Well at the seaside a very long time ago i think i was nearly swept out to sea, but i may be remembering that rather wrongly! although my step dad nearly ran me over with our car once. 

Do you get mad easily? I get irritated easily, but generally i take myself away from the situation and feel much better! i don't like to get mad because i dont like to feel negative feelings!

How did you get so gorgeous? 

The same answer as Zoe here- MAKE UP!! And i don't think i am gorgeous, but it was in the questions!

Where have you been on holiday & where was the best? 

when i was little i went to France with my grandparents, but i really don't have any memories of it at all! But i have been to Butlins a few times, and camping all across the UK, the best PLACE i went on holiday was probably camping in Bude, just because the beaches were amazing (other than that i hate camping) but the best holiday i went one was to Butlins because i went with my Aunt, Uncle, Nan, my brother and all 5 of my cousins and it was a really fun filled holiday with all the littlens running around!

Favourite childhood memory? Is it bad that i cant think of any!?! but me and my brother use to play with Barbies and that was quite fun! haha

What was being in Harry Potter like? 

AMAZING! i joke i joke! unfortunately i was never in harry potter, but again this was another question that was on Zoe's blog!
