DIY Chalk Plant Pots

So I wanted to buy a cactus but I couldn't find a nice pot that would mix with my desk deco, so I decided i make my own...

I got the chalk/black board paint from the range £4.99 

Then I brought two cactus from B&Q for £2 each... 

Then I decided to do two different designs to try out the paint... 

Here is where I started a brush, the paint, the pots that the cactus already came in and some newspaper to cover the surfaces... 

For the first pot I decided to just see what the paint look liken the pot and paint the bottom half of the pot i didn't do this on point or in straight lines as you can see...

For the second design I decided to use tape to cover the top and bottom on the pot not on point or straight lines as you can see then I just painted wherever the tape wasn't... 

Here is the final DIY...

Hope this inspires you to DIY you Plant Pots, if you do please leave a picture below or take me in the social media below...

The Nape Undercut!

So about two weeks again I decided to get a nape undercut I could think of hairstyles to cover it up if I wanted and hairstyles to show it off... 

Here is just some of my inspiration... 

I love the way you can become a whole different person if you just cut your hair... 

Here is what I have...

This was right after I have it done so my head does look a little red... 

I love how everything with my hair now takes half the time but i still have a lot of hair left! 

Sometimes I feel girls are scared of what other think too much, people need to do things for themselves and no for others, sure I have had people tell me its not girly or it weird but I don't care really it my head and if I want to cut of half of my hair I will!

Please leave your opinion and comments!

I love to hear feedback <3

Adding Patches to my Denim Jacket

A couple of weeks before christmas me and my family went to Lou Lou's Vintage Fair. I really loved it there and there was a whole load of different things like... Jewellery, Clothes and even Pot and Plates. 

Here is a link to her Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/VintageFair/ 

But I decided I wanted to put my own unique spin on my Vintage Levi Denim Jacket. 

So I ordered some patches, you can get patches like these from ...

Etsy .... https://www.etsy.com/uk/search?q=iron+on+patch 

Ebay ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/iron-on-patches 

a website, Fitwell patches ... http://www.fitwellpatches.co.uk 

I placed these where I wanted them on the Jacket (later moved the British flag). 

Then I just put my iron on its highest setting. Then I sat the iron onto of the patches for about 5 seconds... 

I also added some badges I made a couple of months ago... 

I also added some elbow patches I got these from eBay ...
