Loving this song right now!


I'm not really a huge Drake fan to be honest (there I said it) BUT I am really loving this song right now!

Give it a listen!

Hermes Birkin- Surely VB can spare one for me?


I really really really want this bag! If only! I heard VB owns 100 Hermes Birkin bags! That means her Birkin bag collection alone is worth £1.5 million! Crazy money. 


Maybe if I ask nicely she might give me one? She would right?


...nah didn't think so!

I'm a Celebrity...Are you really?

It's that time of year again...



We all tune in for the first episode thinking its going to be the same as it was last year...and most of the time it is. Yet we don't switch off. I mean how can we when it is so entertaining. If there's one thing the British public love is watching a bunch of people living together with no contact with the outside world.

I only recognised Mark from TOWIE, Jessica from the Real Hustle and I kind of recognised Dougie from McFly. Oh  and Anthony. But I am still entertained! I think Mark is really funny! He is arrogant and has a tendency to exaggerate...but he is entertaining!


I think Fatima may win!

Will you be watching tonight? Who's going to win? Mark or Stefanie?

Hey! Where did you get your hair from?

I was and still am enchanted by the long and beautiful hair of Kim Kardashian,  Megan Fox and Vanessa Hudgens to name a few celebs. If only my hair could be this lush...


But how could I a mere mortal have hair like that?? Well... hair extensions right? I researched online and was amaaaazed to learn you can have REAL hair extensions...So you don't have to have the synthetic horrible extensions where you can tell they are extensions. If there's one thing ladies love its making everything look natural

Wait, so real hair extentions must come from a real person right? I mean obviously only people have real hair. But who are these mystery people this hair comes from? I decided to research further...I found that there are a few 'sources' of where the hair could come from:

1 Hindu temples ...Tirumala...South India...Asia...The Venkateshwara Temple. Every day thousands of pilgrims shave their hair as a gift of thanks to God. An act of devotion to God on their part. In the shadows, there are people ready to collect this hair...to dispose of it. Only it is not disposed of. It is sold. It is sold again...and again. It is sold until it ends up at its final destination...on your head. 





So an act of deep devotion to God ends up on your head most of the time without their knowledge.


2. 'Willing' sellers...They want to sell their hair to make money...simple eh? Well not really? They sell their hair..so yes they get money for it. But how do you put a price on a head of hair? If you buy clip in extensions for even £80..how much did the 'owner' get. Consider how many middle-men need to make a profit in that.

Could you really wear extensions which you know someone has been underpaid to give? Imagine shaving your hair and someone giving you money for it. How much would you sell yours for?







3. Corpses...I kid you not. How does this work? Does someone look at a poor young girl who was taken too early and think her hair would make me some money? Seems ridiculous to us in the 'modern' world. But what about where it is the norm. Think about it


Imagine wearing the hair of a dead person?


So where do you get your hair from? 1,2 or 3? Do you know? How can you know? It sure wont be labelled on the packaging? The hairdresser certainly won't tell you...mainly because he/she won't know but imagine telling a customer the hair is from a dead person. If that was me...I'd be out the door ASAP!

Look like I will be going 'au natural' for the foreseeable future!

Think about the price someone else pays for your beauty :)
