this is a cold war, do you know what you're fighting for

So I didn't get the course I wanted but weirdly enough I'm kind of glad. I've been job hunting which is why there hasn't been any posts for a while and why they'll be a bit scarce for the next while. Looking for a job means I'm stuck with boring makeup for a while. 

I'm excited for this year now, it's the first time I've ever not had a plan. I have made a bit of a plan over the last week though. I'm going to look for another job because at the moment I only work one or two nights a week. It would be super handy if I could keep the job I have now and find something else for weekdays. Then if I've saved up enough money by the new year I might go travelling for a couple of months.

It's been a year since I've had my hair cut and I've spent the last few weeks pondering what to do with it. Last year I cut it up quite short and now it's finally gotten quite long again.

This is my hair when it was short and behaving 

And this is my hair long

So which is better? I've spent months growing out my fringe so I won't be getting a fringe again (might get a side fringe though). My hair long is impossible to brush and tends to go into a frizzball if it gets wet/blown about in the wind/touched in any way. My short hair needs blowdrying and straightening but is super easy to wash and brush and I can go days between washes without it turning to frizz. 

Most people tell me my short hair was nicer and I remember it being nice but my camera was on the blink back then so I have very few photos I can check this with. 

Grr sometimes I'm tempted to just shave it all off!!

Review: Garnier Fructis Surf Hair

So as you may have noticed I have curly hair. It's fairly hard to manage and often goes frizzy and mad-looking or else goes flat and the curls fall out. So with this in mind I'm always looking for new products to make it look nice.

So I stumbled upon Garnier Fructis Surf Hair in Boots a few weeks ago and decided I'd give it a go.

I love slightly messy looking tousled hair, the kind you get after a day at the beach so that's what I was hoping to achieve from this Surf Spray. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and I'm finding it good. It makes my hair nice and tousled looking with minimal frizz. It's also very good value, it was around €4.50 and it's lasting well, I still have over half the bottle left and I've been applying it liberally. I'd reccommend you give this a go if you have short-medium length hair and want a light hold product which wont make your hair sticky, flaky or look like it has product in it at all

Has anyone got any other products for curly hair they can reccommend to me?
