On this little blog I've had a few questions about my hair. Now, don't get me wrong - I reply to them! But I worry people won't check back to see my answers (darn Blogger commenting system). So, as  one of the most common questions has been about my hair care, I thought it'd be an idea to make a little video, that way  know people can watch it if they're interested. I filmed this video a week or so ago now so my hair is now freshly bleached, yay!

To be honest, how I look after my peroxide locks is nothing snazzy at all! As you might expect from me, all my haircare products are relatively cheap for the use I get out of them. But basically all of these products are really spectacular for the price!

If you use any of these products let me know what you think of them. Bottom line here - I'd definitely recommend those of you with bleached or dry hair to give the John Frieda Full Repair Perfect Ends Deep Infusion and argan / Moroccan oil a go. They really do make a massive difference to the quality and feel of my hair.

Coming up soon, I'll be sharing some photos from my trip to Brussels - I rarely do lifestyle posts but it will include waffles, chocolate and makeup (yum, yum and yes), so I think it will be cool to have something a little different on here!

How I Look After My Bleached Hair On a Budget


I haven't done a styling post in absolutely ages (think I might have only ever done one before?!) and seeing as I'm now on the old Youtube-ular, it seemed obligatory! 

So, I recently won a voucher in a Daisy Street twitter competition and chose this playsuit as part of my prize. It's a pinafore playsuit - basically, a fancy pair of dungarees! But they're super versatile and pinafore style everything is spilling out onto blogs at the moment. My absolute favourite pinafore-er (that's a new word, yep) has been Hannah's (Daisies and Dr Martens) Topshop pinafore dress - suits her perfectly and I love how she's styled it. So, I thought I'd join the pinafore party.

So I've put together three outfits. Two are casual and one is more dressy so I could show how versatile this little number is. For £19.99 it's a major bargain and will be fantastic for the massive monochrome trend this spring / summer. You can buy the Heather pinafore playsuit from Daisy Street here.

Let me know what your favourite is and don't forget to watch the video too if you're interested in seeing the outfits in action! By the way not too sure why the video has uploaded in a black box, but re-uploading / remaking the video didn't help, oh well! I tried haha!

Three Ways To Wear A Pinafore Playsuit

Yo spaghetti Os. I think I might have to start using that as a term of address... my rather lazily dressed body is back on the internet. The title says it all really, I was proper late to meet people to walk to uni, so I had to put together something acceptable (ie. the first comfortable things at the top of my drawers). 

These photos were taken on my new fancy camera machine and I'm having a ton of fun playing around with it, although admittedly I did forget to use manual mode for these photos so they're probably not the best they could be! But just look at the video quality! I'm super pleased.

Update in the 'I'm going 'somewhere' in Europe' situation of my mini update post - I'm going to Brussels - yes, I'm going to be a sprout! Brussels is in Belgium (for anyone who I've cruelly confused), obviously famous for chocolate, but also a statue of a boy peeing. I'm not joking. Click here to see I'm not lying. I'm hoping to vlog the trip and hopefully my encounter with this cray-zay statue thing. Wow, I'm pretty worried about who will end up on my blog now through google searches... But anyway I'm SUPER excited. Click here to subscribe to my channel if you're interested in seeing that statue and / or other upcoming videos featuring the face of yours truely.

You may also notice I've got a dot com - whoopie! Only trouble is, when I link to RobynMayday.com without the www. part, it comes up with an error page (browsers correct this, but links from twitter and the like don't). Pretty annoying. I've followed all the instructions, so if anyone has any advice please help!

Have a fabu-louso weekend everyone!
