And we're back! With a lovely new toy!

Yes folks after my weeks of ranting on twitter I was finally able to find someone who knows what they're doing to fix it all for me and Faeriwood.com is now back up & running!

Exciting times!

And with that I'm going to throw myself back into it by showing you my latest purchase.

Yes folks, I finally bought my self a set of curling tongs! I've been rocking the GHD curls for years and, whilst I love the look they give me, I really wanted a more relaxed curl. After much research I settled on a John Frieda 1 1/4 inch barrel to give me my loose curls. I'm glad to say this guy does the trick perfectly and for only £29.99 you can't ask much more.

The screen easily allows me to see my choice of heat.I'd love to tell you that I use a low heat all the time but I have really long hair and lots of it. I may go high but I do at least make sure I use heat protective products first. Damage control is vital!

"So stop the chatter and show us the results!" I hear you say. But of course! First we have the before.

A little rained on from my morning excursion if I'm honest.

And the after!

Its such a nice feeling to swish about with hair that makes you look like an American TV star. Ok, it's not quite that good yet but just you watch this page!

Ta Ta for now!

No Halloween Costume Needed

It's become an accepted norm that once December 1st comes around the nations will don their snowflake print leggings and their novelty jumpers but so far the other seasons are lacking in their effort. Yes, Halloween is famous as being the single greatest costume day of the year but I need October to step and represent in the seasonal apparel game. Thankfully retailers have heard my inner goth cry and have come up with some seriously cute Halloween inspired items. For those who love a slogan tee you have every variation of saying that could possibly be made by rhyming witch with bitch and if you don't say every one of with Emma Roberts' attitude then you need to watch season 3 of American Horror Story immediately! Dressing with the seasons is clearly big money but it doesn't have to cost the world. Here are my choices of how to get into the Halloween spirit all under £30. Boohoo Starting with my favourites because I can! I actually bought the f

"Brand New Mint In Box"

Of the ways to describe the most premium of items in your makeup collection "Brand New Mint In Box" should not be one of them. One of my most awful habits is buying makeup and then not using it and to my even greater shame it is usually with my most expensive purchases. There is an Alan Carr joke about the extortionate price of a Spanish Onion, the punchline is "when do you save an Onion for best?" This is kind of how I feel about expensive makeup. It's so pretty and so precious that if I get up the courage to actually purchase it, I'm then usually too scared to use it. The pride and shame of this habit is these two items from Dior. The absolutely sublime Dior Skin Nude Tan highlighter which I purchased as a pre-release special edition from House Of Fraser TWO YEARS AGO has sat in box all tightly wrapped up only being shown the light to show off to my friends and family. Yes I do show off my prettiest of pretties to my friends and family...

Am I Disabled?

This article has been going through my head quite a lot recently and I’m feeling a little self indulgent so bear with me. As a kid I was on the special needs list throughout school and given a classroom assistant to help with my tracheostomy care. I was considered disabled enough to warrant disability benefits right up until I turned 18 when they decided that I wasn’t mentally incapacitated enough and too independent. A panel of bureaucrats sat across the table and said “we can see you are but there’s nothing we can do.” I didn’t tick the right boxes. I’ve worked since I was old enough and supported myself as much as I could and excluding a few short absences from work I have been successful in that. Until now. Now I can’t support myself. I struggle with self care. I’ve had to give up my home and I’ve lost my independence. I’m back to getting surgery’s every 6-8 weeks. They were usually just day cases but the last few have been fairly severe with extended stays (I get to have ano
