5 days til sun, sea and....street parties!

Over a month since I last blogged...jeeeez....now my holiday is in 5days!!!  Gran Canaria here we come!

Found out today that next week is CARNIVAL WEEK in Playa Del Ingles which is where we are staying woooooo!  See this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr86TGcgv78
All day/night street parties, parades, drag queen competitions and at some point a paella to feed 2000 people!
 
My hair is now blonde!  Thanks to the wondeful hairdressers at Boosh, Swansea.  They have performed a total miracle on my hair since last summer.  It was very dark brown, almost black, but over a few sessions they have managed to make it first brown, by cleansing it then dying it (this is a nice sounding way of saying they stripped it) then gradually blonder through highlights.  It looks natural too because the highlights are so thin and carefully done....nothing like when I tried to bleach my own hair in the first year of uni...gaaah total disaster....and when I tried to give myself highlights and ended up with obviously stripey hair. 
Oh I could sit here for days and tell you of all my hair dye emergencies and disasters.  But....no more!  I am staying with the professionals now!
 
It sounds like my poor hair should be ragged with all the stripping, dying and bleaching but it is actually in really good condition.  Can't recommend Boosh highly enough!  Each time I've left there I've been really pleased.
 
I have been really good going to the gym 5 days a week before work since January but now I am sitting in bed with the left over Christmas tub of Roses next to me :)
As always I have eaten too many and now feel sick!  Put the tin AWAY girl.
 
5 days 5 days!!

  1. It's a good job hair keeps on growing and you're not stuck with your original, because it would be completely ditched. Glad it looks nice for you! Will email you re chatting before you go on hols. x
