Last post before a looong journey~

Hey! Last post before I leave to Japan! Going already this Wednesday x__X Must say I am totally freaking out, it's an entire month after all, been trying to pack for the last few days but it's difficult and the weather is all weird now xD 

Just 2 outfit posts this time, as the weather has gone bad again, and rain rain~ I've also been staying in trying to get organized. 

On Wednesday I stayed at my boyfriends, watched some movies (finally seen Pulp Fiction)
aaaand~ dyed my hair!!! 
yep it's pretty darn orange xD 

freshly dyed
the dye really dried out my hair, it felt horrible afterwards x_x had to put Aussie 3 minute miracle on and wrap in foil for like 3 hours to get it back to soft and shiny~ 

the pictures dont do it justice, it's like neon pure orange xD
I have totally mixed feelings about; once I love it and then I hate it. It's a bit too brave for me, plus the colour is quite flat - just orange. In a month might lay it over with a red-pink to add some dimension~ Will see how it washes out, cause I know it will run like crazy



On Thursday I stayed at Nana's to discuss our trip and make some plans~ And late at night we suddenly decided to go see Snow White and the Huntsman xD I liked it, but it was a bit of a let down~ Steward was horrible; no expression, weird breathing, and annoying never closing mouth with disgusting front teeth =__= The rest of the actors did a really good job, but the director kinda overdid it. You could see that there was a lot of impact on the visual side and effects, but a lot of the times it was just too much, quickly turning from epic to tacky and cringe worthy. It did drag on for a bit too long, and the ending wasn't exactly satisfying. Don't regret going, but wouldn't see it again~

Met up with my best friend Alex briefly on Saturday, finally got my yen exchanged (all those thousands make u feel real rich xD) and went home to start packing (and panicking)

Gonna see my boy for the last time tomorrow, Nana is coming on Tuesday, and we are flying out on Wednesday morning x__x Once I'm settled in Japan I will try to make some posts (that is if the internet works okay), so see you then~

Hope you enjoyed~ (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ

Blue dip dye~

Decided to make a small post on my hair, in case anyone is interested~ xD I love the blue but it is suuuuch a pain~ I had it for 3 weeks now, and dyed the ends 3 times already xD 

this is the dye I use, the colour is Atlantic Blue

first dye~  
wasn't perfect i admit xD  I used 4 hair bands to mark how far I want to have the dye and  applied with a glove~ 

the colour after only 3 washes 
during dying, wrapped the finished parts in tin foil~ parted my hair in 6 parts this time

and pretty blue again~ 

and onto the colour fading/ washing out~ 
new, only rinsed the dye off

1 wash
slightly faded but still blue

2 washes 
light blue, still nice but not vibrant~ 

3 washes
starting to look nasty and uneven, with tints of green everywhere

4 washes
very light green-blue 

and then I dyed it again xD but I seriously think with more washes the colour would be gone completely. My hair just doesn't want to hold any colour. I did it red in the past and within 3 washes it was mostly gone, and soon turned into a darker blonde~ 

I'm a perfectionist and I can't stand it being faded, so I re-dye it every time I go to London xD the dye is nice on your hair thought and it doesn't seem to damage it any further~ after 3  dyes I used up maybe 1/3 or less (as you can see in the photo on top). Will continue doing this for a while...until I get bored (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ

3rd time round~ I run out of tinfoil xD got advised on twitter by a few people to use cling film instead~ did a pretty good job I think. this time I did it in tiny sections, going over the previous colour, but it was freaking time consuming xD 

back to perfect, deep blue~ 

tada~
eh~ why wont it just stay like this xD

hope you enjoyed~ (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ
