Box swap #3 Stefi

So this is my 3rd and final box swap (for a little while anyways) this one is with my sister Stefi, we are always sending each other things so this time we thought we would do a proper box swap and blog about it. I gave stefi her box about 3 months ago because i wanted to do it early, then today i just received mine i was so excited it was packed full of loads of stuff, more stuff then i gave her! She also sent my birthday card and present with the box so she didn't have to send another package which is good thinking.

  These items below are the extra things my sister sent me in my box which i am so happy with, she is an awesome sister and knows exactly what kind of make up i like and use!

Birthday wish list

I know my birthday isn't until September but i wanted to do a wish list say people (basically family) know what i want for it. As i have got older i see no point celebrating it anymore, it's just like any other day except i would of been born that day 25 years ago (yes i am 25 this year). When i was younger i had a plan that by the time i was 25 i wanted to be moved out of my parents, married and have my first child, but that obviously hasn't happened for me yet and things have all changed for me since i have started seeing someone new. But anyways enough of that, there isn't much that i want surprisingly and i wouldn't even care if no one got me anything on my wish list and it's called a wish list for a reason!

I love dresses i want so many and shoes that's why i chose two of each and they are mostly blue because i am a freak for blue. I really want the Special edition 3DS XL because i have Chris's 3DS at the moment and it's his not mine ( i should really give it back since we are no longer together) and the animal crossing special edition is too cute! Also German winegums are amazing and i could eat them forever! I am pretty obsessed with Vans at the moment, i wish i could have them all but these are the two i want at the moment!

week in pictures // general update

I haven't really been paying much attention to my blog lately and i feel really bad about it, but seeing as i am doing nothing today i thought i would write a bit about everything that has been going on in my life recently, mostly stuff i have been putting off talking about. Most of you know i was engaged and that i wanted to get married in the next two years to him but unfortunately things for me with him didn't feel right anymore and i ended that relationship, i sound like a bitch for doing it but things hadn't been right for a while since i lost the baby and i just wasn't happy anymore, the stress had been making me ill and i thought it was best to just end it and try and start my life over to be happy. I do still love him very much and i had some really special times with him but sometimes things in life happen and in order for me to be happy i couldn't stay in that relationship anymore. Besides that i have been busy hanging out with someone new that i have been seeing, he is very sweet and has made me feel like the old Elle again, everyone has noticed a difference in me and they are happy that i'm not sitting around depressed anymore, his name is Tom and i really enjoy his company and we like the same things, which is always a good thing. Actually had a lovely evening with him last night and met two of his friends, we sat and ate pizza and watched Southpark.

I have been really naughty and stopped making headbands, but i am ordering more stock to get back into making them seeing as i love making them and other people love them too! I am thinking about doing big wild rose headbands only though seeing as i think they are the prettiest, but if i do get requests to do other kinds i am more then happy to make them. Now finally i put together my week in instagram pictures seeing as i haven't done that in ages!

1. I saved up 100,000 bells in animal crossing new leaf and all i was given was a box of tissues for it *sad face* // 2. My sister visited my land in animal crossing and gave me an orange balloon! // 3. Tom got me some lucky charms and popping candy, i was beyond excited about it. // 4. My mum made the most yummy pasta ever, chicken and cheese! // 5. I had a nice time playing borderlands 2 at Tom's i hadn't played it in ages and i realised why i liked it so much again. // 6. I decided to straighten my hair for the first time in forever. // 7. It's been super sunny in St Austell lately and i love the view from my balcony in my garden. // 8. Gizzy looks terrified haha // 9. penni is so cute i love when she sits around with that grumpy look on her face with her paws together.

Pink hair!

✿ ✿ ✿

Over the years, I've dyed my hair many colours! This year I had it lilac, ginger, red, brown, dark 
purple, green, blonde and now pink! I have to say though it wasn't meant to be pink... I am not a big fan of pink so I decided I would have pinky/purple. But it seems the pink kinda took over my hair and I was left with super bright pink hair with lots of other shades of pink, but I really like it and I think it brings out my blue eyes a lot! I can't remember which purple I used because I threw the pot away when I finished it after dying but I mixed it with flamingo pink from directions which looks red in the pot, then yesterday I made it a big brighter by using carnation pink which is VERY pink. Before I could actually dying my hair pink I had to strip it with colour B4 and then I bleached it 4 times.. which was really naughty of me but I didn't bleach it all in one go I did it over a series of days. I had green at the ends of my hair which I couldn't get rid of no matter how much I stripped my hair or bleached it, so when I did my final bottle of bleach the green had gone a pastel colour. Once I put the direction dye's on my hair after mixing them with conditioner the green had completely gone and turned pink.

The last picture is a bit patchy but as I said before I re did it with carnation pink and the flamingo pink so it sorted the patchy bits.
