Anna Saccone Inspired Hair cut, Long to short...

Hi Everyone,
So, I got my hair cut nearly a month ago now. But i did a vlog for all of you lovely people so you could get my first impressions and reactions.
Here's the video...

I've been getting great reactions about the cut, I'd love to know what you think of it?

Whilst you're on my Youtube page i'd really love it if you would check out some of my other videos and subscribe if you enjoy them.

I'm hoping you're all well and sending lots of love,

My 1940's attempt!

Hello Everyone,

This Friday i'm attending a surprise anniversary party. The theme of the party is anything from 1920's-40's/Jazz. I will be singing with a few of my friends as we've recently formed a band, so i felt it important that i make an effort with the theme as i'll be singing a couple of Jazz numbers.

I was free on Monday night and the inner planner came out. I decided to have a go at recreating a Jazz inspired hair do and makeup look. I found a few photos on pinterest to inspire me and gave it a bash. I took tons of photos to help me recreate it on Friday, so i thought i'd share them with you.

Let me know what you think!
Have you ever done a vintage look? Do you have any tips for me?

Love to you all xxx

A day in the life, preparing for an Opera Performance (Hair & Makeup)...

Hello My lovelies! Who could believe that it's July?! Still, i had a busy month throughout June, during which i had a couple of Opera performances. People ask me what i get up to before an evening performance, here i share with you my general hair and makeup routine...

Opera performance starts at 7:30pm, 

7 hours earlier...

12pm - Shower, moisturize and dry my hair. I put my hair in rollers to set for a couple of hours...

1pm - 2:30 pm - I try to relax by catching up on Queens tennis tournament. I snack throughout the day but avoid as much dairy as possible. I avoid chocolate at all costs!!

2:30pm - Time to take my hair out of the rollers. I was really pleased with the results, it lasted well all evening.

3pm - Contacts go in, and makeup is put on!

4pm - Makeup is done! Time to warm up and sing through my song twice. By this point i'm chugging the tea and water. Final preparations are done and i'm off to rehearsal at 5:30pm

The perfomance went really well and i had alot to be proud of. I hope you have enjoyed this little insight into how much and how long preparation takes. It all pays off in the end up though :)

Love you all, Beth xxx

Cheryl Cole shows us how it's done at Cannes

I must say Cheryl really rocked this dress.  Her hair and makeup were styled perfectly to show off the stunning detail of the dress. 
I would definitely consider asking my hairdresser to copy her hair braid for the next formal event/party i attend.  Cheryl kept her makeup really natural, big lashes helped emphasise her beautiful eyes.  The paps were all over her.  But then I'm grateful as i have so many stunning photos of her to share with you all.

What do you think of Cheryl's look?

Thank you to all you lovely readers that keep coming back to my blog! Since reaching 5000 views my daily page views has grown.  I appreciate the people that keep showing their appreciation for my blog.  I love reading your comments too.

As always,  i hope you are having a great day!
Much love,  Beth xxx

Hard times...

Recently, life has given me nothing but negativity to dwell on. I am such a positive person & I find the good in every situation, but that's been harder than normal these last few weeks.

I was first told 11 days ago that a friend of mine had suddenly died. Although I love the idea of keeping in touch with everyone, I'm very lazy when it comes to putting that in action. So, I had'nt spoken to this friend in a few months.

I knew her from school, we shared the same form class aswell as art, technology, English, drama etc.

Although her sudden death brought me much sadness and has brought life temporarily to a halt. This isn't about me, this is a tribute to her.

As much as she did have a certain friend group in school she made everyone feel special. She had this way of speaking to you, even briefly, but making you feel like you were really cared for.

She was a beauty of a woman. Absolutely stunning, even without makeup and in her school uniform she was gorgeous.

So here's to Kerry. May her family find peace.

We'll see her again.

Unfortunately this isn't the end of the rollercoaster that has been the last few weeks, but I'll deal with that in another post soon.

Keep safe, tell your family you love them.
I love you all,

Inspirational Hair

I think everyone Googles a certain hairstyle before going to the hairdressers to get a hair cut.

I've been going to the same hair dresser for about 6 years. Her name is Joanne and shes wonderful! She always seems to be thinking on my wave length, knowing what style i want.

I always print off a few photos so Joanne can have a look at what hair inspiration i have. About 2 months ago i got my hair cut, here are the photos that inspire me and my hair :)

Inspiration for having it curly/wavy...

What do you think? Which Celeb inspires you towards a certain hairstyle?
