Faux Mini Ponytail Hair Style Instructions
I really love the look for short curly ponytails but having long hair means I had to find a different way of doing it!
Start by curling the ends of your hair.
Pull it up into a high ponytail without disturbing the curl too much.
On the last loop of the elastic, don’t pull the hair all the way through.
Twist it to face the curls to the front and the loop to the back like this.
push the loop so it’s flush to your head and pin place.
Pin the curls to the scalp just in front of the hair band.
Flip the curls back over so they cover the loop and fluff them out.
Hairspray it all in place.
I love this style with a simple scarf wrapped around it.
Done! Too cute!
My loop shows through a bit more because of my pink ends.
If your hair is all one colour it will be less of course.
I hope this was a useful video, please check out the blog post linked in the description for more information and tutorials.
Thanks so much for watching.
Bye!

I saw a lot of things in this edition of snapshots! Lots of cool stuff I want to buy one day 😀
Firstly, I love stupid small print like this:

In the same shop that was in I spotted a super bling snow man XD I had a hilarious argument with James over these marshmallows. He was convinced the first time he got the new bubblegum McFlurry that it had some kind of magic bubblegum pieces in it but only the first time he got it, every time after it was regular mini marshmallows. I was convinced that the first time it was just old crappy squished marshmallows XDThese old crappy squished marshmallows proved my point! Take that james!
We tried smoothies which are layered and you’re not supposed to stir them. Advertised as the best juice in Melbourne.
The shop is really cute.
The juice was… ok XD
James made super yummy chicken parmigana.
We had some beautifully clear sky days too! I love how crazy the weather in Melbourne is but it’s nice to see the sky sometimes!
  
They completely ripped up one of the main streets too so the tram lines could be replaced. I’m really glad they’re doing it but all the construction means a lot of road closures.
 
I found all of my missing photos from the Tsumiki hair event too so you can see the cool waves my hair was in!
 
So straight! This look makes me want to get off my butt and straighten my hair properly regularly!
Waving in progress…
Taadaa!
Super cute and volumey!
 
Continuing the James’ birthday photos we walked past a Korean restaurant that had a whole wall of visiting pop stars.
James and his birthday cupcake…
He also had some birthday chocolates at Max Brenner.
Biggest truffle EVER.
I can’t remember when this was >_< But pretty church!
  
I saw this wig and debated getting it to restyle into a hime style.
The others in the collection had pretty terribly photoshopped images on the front XD I wonder if this girl even knows her photos are being used!
I spotted this sign at a noodle bar, I kind of want to try it, I can’t imagine eating two bowls though!
Tiny sleeping bags! I know they’re just for displays but I totally imagine elves or something using them XD
A handbag shaped postit note dispenser!
And lastly twisty candy cane erasers, I love office works.
Hope you all had a good week! |

 I like this outfit a lot, mostly the stockings because they have little hearts all over them 😀 The shoes were a bargain at only $10! I really need to poke another hole in the belt because it’s quite loose. I took the time to tailor my trench a bit last week so it’s more fitted. I do need to get around to properly taking it in but I can’t decide whether it would be a lot less effort to just sell it and buy a smaller size. It’s a really nice jacket but I’m not as in love with the cut as I was when I bought it last year.
Some make up shots from the last few weeks.
  
Haha epic laziness= having hair and make up done for a skype call but not changing out of my pajamas 😀
This outfit was another one I bought on ebay recently. I’ve been on a little bit of a shopping binge and I couldn’t resist the cute nauticalness.
It’s made of tshirt fabric too so it’s really comfortable!
