theO
i do not practise big hair on my own because god didn't give me the ability to do this- instead he gave me supersoft hair that goes flat in an instance. most of the time i just like my hair to lie as it is, if a bit falls out when its gripped up, thats fine, it can be free and lie there. even though my mums a hairdresser, i do not use this to my advantage- i like to highlight it once and a year and get it cut never (until its at my hips- i'll be there in ten years). however, at work (my mums salon- part timer on a saturday, gotta get by at uni somehow- i do it by giving dirty hair a wash) we have a new type of roller that i have used a few times before a night out and they are the best thing yet for big hair-
The O- Clound 9
heated rollers:
they come with a pod, you put the roller in for about 5 seconds and hear a beep, and the roller is hot in an instant.
seriously, so simple, fast and very easy to put it. just section off the top sections of your hair (the bottom aswell if you have plenty of time), put the roller at the tip of your hair and roll the hair up into the roller.
the rollers come in around 4 different sizes, with clips that fit around the rollers for when you put them in. leave them in for about half an hour, and with no straightening or blow drying (although a bit of blow drying might help before hand, with a fairly large sized round brush), you get big bouncy curls with a lot of volume. in my opinion, they are better than any other heated roller around, and do a far better job than the ol' velcros.

£149.95- we can get them in stock on request in the salon, ashton-under-lyne, 0161 343 5533.
get them on your christmas list!

new love-
i know this is nothing to do with fashion (well,human fashion), nor is it remotely necessary or life changing. but i just wanted to share this heart warming piece of information with you-
penguin jumpers- jumpers specifically knitted for penguins with damaged fur. the fur can be damaged by the oil, and once they are cleaned the penguins fur needs protecting, and the penguin will lose heat due to the lack of fur in some places.
therefore to stop the penguin from freezing to death, there are a certain number of people (i like to think these people are very generous older ladies) who knit jumpers for the penguins, and to make this story even more lovely-

a couple of nights ago, i went out with my two best friends charl and lucy. was such a good night- a few drinks turned into a few too many, and charl showed us this amazing bar i had never heard of.
OAST house- Spinningfields, Manchester.
it kinda looks like it should be part of the christmas markets, but its sort-of permanent. its very seasonal and cosy, fairly small. it describes itself as 'a traditional country pub', which is half true, however it is more like a cosy bar than a traditional pub, especially being situated near the centre of Manchester. there are cute tables outside, with a kind of winter bbq hut-thing going on. walking inside, the warmth literally hits you. amazing atmosphere, and the place allowed children to come in with their obviously cool parents.
a large glass of wine cost me £6- not the cheapest, but it was large! we managed to grab a table after around ten minutes of standing at the bar. they also serve food, which looked pretty cool, serving stuff like chicken kebabs on skewers, steaks, burgers and meze.
it made me feel really christmassy, and i definitely recommend it this winter!
(my merry-ness and the business of the place resulted in a lack of pictures- sorry!)
