Paper bags?

Yes, paper bags. I've always had straight hair and at a point I curled it... But before that I had 1 way to curl my hair, with no heat. How did I do so? We'll see.

Start off with damp hair. Why not wet? Because that will obviously soak the paper bags and you don't want that. Comb it before hand too, make sure it has no knots/tangles!

YOU NEED PAPER BAGS and scissors, reason being is because you'll need to strip the paper bags down vertically. Also cut the ends off, and then you're ready to begin rolling. Tie half your hair up too before doing any of this.

Steps:

1. Take your paper bag and wrap it around your hair. 
2. Pull it down, and twist the hair around it until you have a v-like shape. 
3. While the hair is still wrapped in the paper, start rolling up your hair.

"Wrap, pull down, twist, secure, roll."

Easy right? I've tried it before, so you can trust me on this. It really works. Anyway, when the bottom section is finished, you take down the other half of your hair. Your rolls should be tighter this time because I personally think the curls at the top of your head should be tighter. Maybe your paper curls will look better towards the end, due to more practice but if you can't tie it in a knot, you can always twist it.  

When you're done rolling all your hair you have a few options... You can either wait until your hair is fully dry and take out the paper, or f you're in a hurry then you can go ahead and take a blowdryer and on cool air- blow dry it. Or, go to sleep in them. They're not that bad to sleep in, comfortable enough.

The curl really depends on how long you leave it on there for, if you leave it on for a while your curls will turn out to be extremely curly. So when you feel like you've had enough, start taking out your paper.  Gently twist it off your hair, and you'll have a beautiful curl from a paper bag.  I personally think removing the paper bags is cool but I just get lazy. Make sure you run your fingers through your  hair just in case you have a piece of paper stuck in the back of your hair, you don't want your friends to see it... They'll think you're crazy!

Style accordingly with mousse or other hair products. :)

Sorry that I don't have any photos/footage because I did it a while ago, but I promise you the results will be just the same as using a curling iron! Hope this helped in a way.

OK so, I don't really know what to blog about. Surprisingly we were told to blog about absolutely anything... Now what am I going to do?

Lets just put a few different things in this post then, just because.

No seriously, I'm stuck. But I'm just going to blog about my eyeliner issues because its the first thing on my mind right now. I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND GOOD EYELINER that would fully belong to me. So recently during this one week off school event, I lost my Lancôme liquid eyeliner. Say what? Yes, I lost it... Or maybe I just misplaced it. I don't know, I'm still looking for it actually. Anyway, since I was obviously going to stay eyeliner-less for the next I don't know how many days/months/years, I decided to just go on a journey to find the perfect eyeliner. Wait no, I wasn't really eyeliner-less... I actually sort of just slapped on some Maybeline eyeliner that I found in my pencil case which was basically useless because, uh, you could barely see anything. After that, I went over to Beachwalk. BOY WAS THE TRAFFIC JUST HORRIBLE!? I mean look at that, I could barely get through Kuta. But HEY, I made it! Beachwalk was gigantic, it was amazing. This one shop was just full on makeup based (forgot the name, it was some high end brand though) and I found an eyeliner that fitted me quite well BUT my lovely mum decided to keep it. Once again, I was eyeliner-less. What did I do afterwards? Well the next day I just went over to Guardian and bought a Maybeline pencil eyeliner. Um... Are there any words for my hate towards Maybeline eyeliners!? NO. It was such a waste of money, even though it wasn't so pricy but still. Maybeline + Me = NO NEVER FOREVER EVER.

Any who, the next day was a miracle. I... FOUND THE BEST EYELINER IN THE WORLD. Its by Max Factor, just absolutely amazing. Sure it's makeup you get at drugstores but girl please... This stuff is the bomb. I eventually loved the brand so I decided to buy their mascara and whatnot.

And yes, I've switched to pencil. So long poopie Maybeline liquid/pencil eyeliners! I recommend this product to you girls who tend to live off Eyeliner, because its affordable and awesome. :)

Here's what it looks like.

I kind of got carried away by "ranting" about my eyeliner issue, but oh well...

Because of you.

The person that has inspired me the most would have to be my mum. We definitely have our ups and downs, but I’d usually take the positive side to it. It sucks sometimes, but at the end of the day we’re all happy again. If it wasn’t for her I don’t know what kind of person I’d be right now.

I think she’s an amazing person; I love her more than anyone in this whole wide world… Well, besides my daddy. I equally love them both! But I spend more time with my mum because she’s the one who stays home with me when daddy goes to work out of Bali. My mum has honestly been there through everything, she’s told me the do’s and don’ts in life. She keeps me grounded; I mean she prevents me from doing the things that I shouldn’t be doing. She still lets me hang out and sometimes attend parties, but she’ll set limits… Though normally she’d be blending in with the other pre-teens as well. I find it really cool that she does almost all the things that I do. I actually barely go anywhere alone. Yes, I’m 14 and I go everywhere with my mum. It’s not as bad as you think… She makes me feel safe, and I still panic when I lose her at the supermarket!

Well, yes. I know this isn’t that long but that’s all I’ve got, unfortunately. *sad face*

If you read this mum, I love you! ♥

Shoes; An obsession.

Just my top 10 most favourite shoe brands to conclude my blog this week. :)


I've always had an obsession for shoes, I really don't know why but things tend to happen without a reason sometimes. Though I am gaining interest in bags and a lot of other things recently yet it still won't beat my love for shoes. I actually have a lot more favourite brands, but there's just too much that I can't list them all. Silly me. 


- Reasons why they’re my top 10 favourite shoe brands. -

Guess: They’ve definitely got style, I suppose they’re kind of pricy but really it depends on which design you choose. But I can’t really complain about it because Guess is known as quite a pricy brand.

Jeffrey Campbell: JC’s has got to be my most favourite shoe brand, I consider them to be quite comfortable and that’s actually really good because they’re basically heels/platform. I could wear them all day/night and they wouldn’t hurt as bad as my other shoes. I definitely recommend!

Dr. Martens: What can I say? They’re awesome! You could wear them with jeans, a skirt, leggings, shorts, anything. I just love how they go with whatever you’re wearing. Comes in a variety of colours/designs as well!

Nike: Nikes are super comfy in terms of sneakers/sportswear. They’ve got that really cool Nike+ thing which connects to your iPhone/iPod and I find that pretty cool. Though the designs of their shoes are pretty stylish for sneakers.

Converse: All time favourite, it’s been around for a long time and the colours you can choose from, oh my god! Converse are fun to have.

Charles & Keith: The shoes they have are actually quite affordable in my opinion. They’re really worth it, I promise. I love them because the designs are classy, I usually buy the wedges though (love the wedges they have!).

Nine West: Nine West has shoes with such vibrant colours! It makes me want to buy everything, well not necessarily EVERYTHING but most of the items… Nine West attracts me the most between all the other brands, besides Jeffrey Campbell.

DC: DC’s takes up a percentage of my school shoes. I once bought them especially for school, but then the black shoes rule got stricter so… I mostly use them on the weekends nowadays. But they’ve got cool designs.

Havaianas: Offers a variety of nice sandals, they don’t break easily and they usually last a long time. Well, they last a while with me… Depends on how the person treats their shoes really.

Rotelli: The boots, the heels, everything. Pricy but they’re up to date with fashion, so it’s all good. The boots are actually really nice, but I don’t really know where I’d wear boots here therefore I don’t usually buy boots.
