This is a video I made around a year ago which I have had to reupload with different music because of a glitch. More info below, thanks very much for watching!
This is a crochet tutorial made for my blog. It is an easy project for beginners who want to do an actual project. The end result is a stuffed bunny rabbit.

Crochet Tutorial for Beginners: Pink Bunny Rabbit Instructions
This is a little tutorial on the basics of crochet.
There is an accompanying blog post with photo instructions over at www.VioletLeBeaux.com
I learned from friends, books and videos so my techniques may not be 100% accurate but they’ve worked for me so far!
Enjoy and good luck with your bunny!
Finished bunny!
You need a crochet hook and yarn.
Take the end of the yarn, tie a knot but don’t pull the end through.
Use your hook to pick up the yarn in the middle.
Pull the two ends of yarn downwards.
Pull the ends apart to tighten the knot around the hook.
Wrap the yarn around the hook, front to back. It’s kind of clockwise.
Twist the hook to face down and slide the loop off the top.
The hook will catch the yarn you just wrapped around it.
Repeat to make 20 stitches.
Wrap and hook through, wrap and hook through etc.
Stop once you have done 20 chains.
This is a foundation chain!
Done! Top and bottom.
Now chain two more stitches.
Hold the end of the chain in an “L” with the extra two chains at the bottom.
Let’s make the first row.
Skipping the 2 extra chains, push the hook through the 3rd one.
Wrap the yarn around the hook.
Pull the hook down and through the loop.
The hook will catch the yarn you wrapped and pull it through to make a new stitch.
Wrap the yarn around again.
Pull the hook down and through again.
This time go through the two loops on the hook.
It forms a new stitch again.
And that completes the whole stich and takes us back to the first step again.
So the start again… push the hook through the next loop.
Wrap the yarn.
Pull it through the first loop, wrap the yarn again, pull it through the other loops.
Back at step 1!

Hello good morning, Today I’m going to do the most requested video that I get in the comments which is a hair care video. Yay.
So I guess I’ll start with basics first, what exactly do I do to take care of my hair?
I don’t actually have that much of a routine which is probably why I’ve put this video off for so long.
Because it’s not really easy to say I do this, this and this because I’m really lazy so my routine changes so often because of what I have on hand or what I have in the cupboard or what is within arm’s reach.
Once a month or once every 6 weeks I’ll dye my regrowth blonde. I use Loreal prelightener.
I usually do the pink every 2 weeks. The pink that I use is Paint Box.
They are a subsidiary of Fudge and I use Pretty Flamingo and also the lighter Pink Moon.
I’ve already done a video on how I do the pink so I’ll just do the pink when I’m washing my hair.
So far as actually washing my hair, I probably do it maybe twice a week and rather than using shampoo anymore I’ve switched over to using Baking Soda.
I like baking soda because it’s quite gentle, it’s natural and it works really well.
Using it has really improved the condition of my hair since switching from regular shampoo.
Also you can use it as a dry shampoo which you would have seen in my previous video somewhere up here.
So far as conditioner I generally use the stuff that comes with my blonde hair dye.
I find I don’t like to use too much of it because I find my hair is a little bit oily around the roots.
So I’ve been using the KMS quick dry thing. Basically it’s a
two layer thing and you shake it up and spray it on your wet hair and it dries really quickly after that.
Probably cuts down drying time by like three quarters. So I love it.
I avoid using heat on my hair as much as possible so I don’t like to blow dry my hair too much unless it’s really really cold and you’re using the blow dryer for warmth.
So I try to do pin curls if I have time the night before.
Also if I just want wavy hair like this, wearing my hair in a bun overnight works really well.
I’ve recently started using this big comb thing to brush out all of the tangles.
For the full transcript check my blog or turn on captions.
Now for the site updates 😀 I’ve been working pretty hard at making things better over the last few months and on the weekend I finally got to integrate most of it. I still have a couple of things to try out this week (including switching to a new system which will in theory will cut the load time in half) but the bulk of it is done so time for a run down of it all!
The aesthetic changes:
The left sidebar is now all slidy! This is something I’ve wanted to do for quite some time. Having less there will cut load time and it follows you around so you can keep all of the important stuff with you. They have also been made different sizes too which will be more useful later once I finish adding in all of my new widgets.
Navigation bar is now properly functional again and all of the pages actually go places.
All of the pages have had make overs. Most notably if you hover over the About link you will get a lot of FAQ options. A lot of the questions I get are answered in there so please do take a look!
New header, well not really new but nicer and brighter! It really opens the whole site up a lot more. I’m trying to put some of the ideas I’m using for my Home Sweet Home projects into practice online too so the whole design is much cleaner.
The backend changes:
These are still on going but rather than explain them all it just means a quicker site and less waiting around for loading.
You’ll probably start noticing some other little changes around the place gradually as I get to post them. My newer videos will have altered titles and endings, my Facebook page has a new header and there are a heap of other little things which are gradually being uploaded.
In another little piece of news the Bergamot shop should be open in the next 7 days so definitely look forward to that!!
Hope you all enjoy the new changes and had a good weekend!
I finally found a friend who would let me play around with her short hair! Everyone say thank you to Stef for letting me experiment on her 😀
Today Stef challenged me to try out a big hime pouf in her short hair. She has super shiny healthy hair so getting the volume needed was definitely a challenge!
We’ve got plenty of styles to try so if you have any requests let me know in the comments!

Short Hair Hime Pouf Hair Instructions
Hello!
Meet Stef, she has short hair and it totally awesome.
This time Stef challenged me to see if I could get a proper volumous pouf in her short hair.
Grab a 1 inch section at the front and put it to the side.
The basic technique is the same as the long haired version though I didn’t have a rat the right colour so I had to tease her hair.
Take a section behind it and tease/spray the bajeebus out of it.
We started with curled hair so that helped with volume too.
Lightly tease the first section you set aside and lay it over the pouf.
Just tease the back part of it, we want the front to be nice and smooth.
Spray it in place of course.
What would this be without hairspray?
The sides needed more volume so I teased small sections there too, brushed them back and pinned in place.
Honestly I find this a little easier with short hair because you don’t have to worry about the ends as much.
And as with the top I brushed some more hair over for a smooth finish.
And that’s it really, same technique as with long hair and just as cute with short!
Thanks very much to Stef for being my awesome model/victim for the day.

I hope this was a useful video, please check out the bog post linked in the description for more information and tutorials.
Thanks so much for watching!

A New Segment For Fridays
Hey guys!
Good morning!
Sorry, you’ll have to bear with me, I have really bad hiccups, so annoying!
I thought that today I would introduce you to a new segment!
Hiccups!
I’ll hopefully be doing this every Friday now.
So Friday videos will no longer be tutorials.
They are going to be like question and answer kind of things.
Whatever you guys want to see really.
Some of the ideas I was thinking of so far are a hair routine video.
I know that one has been requested a lot in the comments.
Maybe a skin care routine, foundation routine.
I’ve been seeing a lot of fun tag videos lately so let me know what you think.
Something fun.
Something fun to film that’s not just a plain boring tutorial. I’m still going to be doing 2 tutorials a week but on Fridays I thought it would be fun to do something a little different.
So it’s up to you what you want to see, let me know in the comments and like the comments of things you want to see.
Hopefully it can be really fun to do and a good pick me up on a boring Friday!
I’ll see you guys next Friday with the first one.
Ouch!
