Mermaid hair



Hiya, I haven't written that much lately due school *sighs* but it does not matter because i have currently been living in my favorite months. The month of October and November flew by so quickly,those two months also contains my favorite season...Autumn. But now that it is December it means 2 things CHRISTMAS AND MY BIRTHDAY !!! 
So i have started to blab on about thing that have nothing to do with this blog post. Today i'm going to show u a heat less way to achieve MERMAID HAIR !!!




















Step one:
Wash your hair. This isn't a must but if you do wash your hair your waves WILL last longer and this is currently our goal LONG LASTING WAVES.Use whatever shampoo and conditioner you prefer



Step two:
This step depends on what hair type you have so
Afro hair: wet hair
Wavy hair:Damp or dry hair
Straight hair: (depending if your hair can curl easily) damp or dry hair
Straight Hair:(hard to curl) dry hair


Step 3:
After waiting for you hair to dry or not u will want to split your hair into 2 and dutch braid the two different sections
Here are different videos to teach you how to dutch braid
Link:
I would try and explain how to do a dutch braid but i am absolutely crap at explaining XD 



Step 4: 
Now, this is the easy part all u have to do is wait. What i do is just sleep over it




Viola you now have beautiful mermaid hair... so beautiful :')

I hope you enjoyed this post. Don't forget to stay fabulous.

How to curl your hair without heat [loose/beachy curls]


Hellooo so on yesterday's blogpost i said that i would do a post about curled hair so.... here it is. I will be splitting this into different posts because that are many different ways to curl hair and there are different kind of curls. So i am going to star it off with a loose beachy curls tutorial. I will be showing you a heatless tutorial. Let's get started :) 


Method one. This is a heatless method but if your hair is hard to curl without heat. There is another method if you scroll down :)

Step 1

You should start of with damp hair if you have wavy hair and you can start with dry hair if your hair is straighter, and if  your hair is REALLY curly you will want to start this on wet hair.

I couldn't find a good picture of wet hair so here is a picture of a kawaii obama....tresure it my friend ;)

Add any hair serums or sprays that you do normally to maintain your natural hair. If you don't use any products then don't worry :3


step 2


If you have thin hair, split your hair into 2 sections, if you have thick hair, split your hair into 4 sections (these sections are where the curls are going to be) twist the sections all the way to the bottom (it should look something like a unicorn horn)
Clip up the sections to the top of your head. And sleep on it


....can you see a resemblance ;)



And then your done all you need to do now is unclip the sections and add any serums to take away any frizz you might get (if you have dry/damaged/frizzy hair...i unfortunately have all of those qualities in my hair ;'( )

   
your curls should resemble these loose curls.



I hope you enjoyed this post and don't forget to stay fabulous

Perfect straight hair.




Hello !! so long time no see. Today i wanted to talk about getting the perfect straight hair. First of all i just wanted to say is that there are many methods to straightning hair, unfortunately the methods that i have found helpful includes heat. I would also like to point out that my next blog post is probably going to be about curling hair...so if you would prefer curls or waves i will probably have that up by the time u are reading this :3 



1) The method that we all know how, is to get a straightener. This is the most effective method, but it is also the most damaging unfortunately.
So, what u will need to do is protect your hair from the heat of the straightener. I recommend Tresemme heat protection. But there are many other brands so i will leave a link to both.
Tresemme heat protection: http://www.superdrug.com/3-for-2-on-selected-Tresemme/TRESemm%C3%A9-Heat-Defence-Styling-Spray-300ml/p/428302#.VFQV3PmsXKE
Different brands: http://www.superdrug.com/search?text=heat+defence#.VFQWEvmsXKF

                            




2) Get a decent straightener. The straightener i use is the babyliss straightener.
very long link i know...
But a decent straightener is the key to perfect straight hair and this product is also at a very good price ;)





3) Now onto the fun part. Straightening so
  1. Switch you hair straightener on so you don't have to wait for it to heat up later
  2. Brush your hair thoroughly cus you don't want to straighten over a knot....you really don't 



2. Apply the heat protectant to protect your fabulous hair

3. If you have thick, long, short hair or really curly hair you might want to tie half of the top part of your hair away so that you don't miss any parts of your hair.

4. take your hair straightener, clamp your hair down, and run it down your hair. You don't want to do it too slowly because it might burn your hair off.....yer we don't want that.
 But don't do it too quickly either because you will just end up manipulating the hair and you will cause static electricity to flow through your hair (your hair will start to stand up)
 

So do it at a medium speed. I normally have to spend it a bit longer on the ends of my hair so that it doesn't curl because i have natural beachy wavy hair.






And viola you have sassy straight silky hair



i would also like to say that every hair type is beautiful and there are people in the world that would be envious of your fabulous curly, wavy, or straight hair. And even though i hate having thick hair, i know that there are people who would love to have thick hair, so i try and cherish the things i have and you should too. 
Stay fabulous and if you enjoyed this blog you might like my tumblr blog so go follow me on that:

Hello

Heyyy, i haven't spoken to u in a while. That is because of 2 stupid reasons
  1. i had to go back to school *sobs in the corner*
  2. My laptop died.....RIP Compaq Laptop ,u will not be missed. Sincerely the owner u kept overheating on *inserts rolling eyes emoji*
Going back to the last point, the reason why i said 'die' was because it had 300 over viruses -_- but it's fine because i have a new laptop which will hopefully last a lot longer than the last crappy one ^_^
But anyway i just wanted to post this to tell u that i will be post more often AND i will be changing my name (not my actual name but my website name) 

Welcome to Marshmanime's blog XD

....Ok fine i'll explain the name. Marshmanime is pronounced Marsh Manime (basically the last ''word'' is pronounced anime but with an 'm' at the front) and it is a combination of marshmallow and anime together. Your welcome ;)

How to lose weight


I know everybody says to love yourself but sometimes its hard to love your self when you yourself think your body isn't as good as you would like it to. So, what are you gonna do ?? Your going to change some little things in your life.
Disclaimer: Long blog post (=_=)

Okay, so the first thing you want to do is cut out some sugary and fatty drinks/food. The reason why i say SOME is because your body needs sugars and fats, but not a lot.

Here are the things you should cut out of your food/Drink list:
  1. Sweets                         (contains A LOT of sugar)
  2. Chocolates                   (contains A LOT of sugar)
  3. Crisps                          (contains A LOT of salts and fats)
  4. Take away food           (contains TOO much fats)
  5. Fast food                     (contains too much fat)
  6. fried food                     (contains too much fat)
  7. Fizzy drinks/Soda         (contains ALOT of sugar and preservatives)
The things you should eat/drink more are:
  1. Fruits
  2. vegetables
  3. Water
  4. Homemade dishes      (excluding fried foods and desserts)

You know when a box of cookies or a fizzy drink bottle or even bubble gum has a little label that says 'NO ADDED SUGAR'. People would normally jump to the conclusion of thinking that this product is slightly healthier...NO. It isn't healthier, what they mean to say is 'WE HAVEN'T MELTED NORMAL SUGAR FROM SUGAR CANE BUT INSTEAD WE JUST ADDED IN A CRAP LOAD OF FLAVOURED SYRUPS AND A LOT OF GLUCOSE' 
so.....yer, just don't fall for their word trickery (=_=)


Here are some recipes for you to try
Disclaimer: All recipes were found on Pinterest. I did not create them. But i do use them everyday

Healthy Breakfast Ideas



Have you ever wanted to make a healthy smoothie. Well with this MASSIVE ASS DIAGRAM you can make healthy and tasty smoothies

Lunch:



Always combine your complex carbs with lean protein. IMPORTANT RULE FOR EVERY MEAL!...

Dinner:
Express Lane Meals, Jan 2013 Broccoli Rabe Frittata with Fennel Salad Mediterranean Seafood Stew Gingery Fish & Noodles


3 Great Meals | Blue Cheese Polenta w/ Watercress, Salmon w/ Ribbon Squash, and Salmon on Ciabatta Roll



Now that you have started to lose weight because you have cut out the the sugars and fat in your life. You will want to tone your body because when you lose wight your stretched out skin will just be...hanging around your body >_<
SO, do exercises that is focused on that point of your body. When i lost weight i HAD to exercise A LOT because, I wouldn't say i was fat, i wasn't actually that chubby anyway i just wanted to lose a little bit of belly fat. I ended up losing 1 stone. This meant that i now weighed 7 stone...i lost this weight just from the dieting and it took me about a month. And because i lost that much in so little time that meant i was "flabby" especially in the bum and belly area -___- 
BUT i just exercised and now I'm fine the exercises i did were from YouTube And the lady i watched was Called Cassey Ho and her channel is called Blogilates. She was SO helpful.
Link to her channel:

i just wanted to say that, you should never push yourself to do things. Never stop eating it's not healthy and all you're going to do is store the weight that your body needs (you will not lose anything)
And if the reason you're losing weight is because of other people and not for yourself, then don't. Don't let any body tell you what you are (if it is a bad thing ^_^)

Anyways, i hope this has been helpful to you

Monthly favourites



so, it is nearly the end of July, and i doubt I'm going to find something GREAT in the next few days. So today I'm going to do a monthly favourites for you, hope you like it :)



OK so the first product i have been lovingggg, is the herbal essence hydration shampoo, conditioner and hair mask. It smells soooo nice and it is truly amazing for my hair.
It makes my hair smell, feel and look really good.
 And probably the best part about these products is that they are insanely cheap. I am a student so the only money i get, is from my monthly allowance.









The next thing i have been loooving is the benefit hello flawless foundation, the coverage is just right and it stays on my face for a good 10 hours (i think) XD
If this product isn't in your budget, you can always opt out for
the Maybelinne 'Wake me up" foundation.
This is a product i have used for nearly 2 years and it is safe to say
that that product is probably one of the best drugstore foundations
i have ever used because, the little shimmer particles can make you
look so much more awake than you actually are BUT on a winters day it could leave you looking like Edward Cullen....the vampire. So bare in  mind.



This next product is just...amazing. It is the Lydia make up brushes.
Now, if you have searched eBay for make up brushes you would
have probably seen these. They are probably one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen...PINK MAKE UP BRUSHES.
(if you are wondering why i didn't take my own picture of the brushes, its because they are quite dirty due to the makeup) But yer they are super soft, and really cheap.










The next product is a food product, and it is yogurt. Yeo Valley

yogurt. The one that i have been loving the most would have to be the raspberry. I do like the strawberry and apricot BUT the aren't as
sweet. The one i hated the most was blueberry because i just don't
like blueberry's in general.





These next few items have been very helpful, because the weather has
been SO hot. So, i got myself some tops,shoes etc.
The white laced shirt i got was from H&M, the grey rolled up
sleeves was from Primark. The shoes that are at the bottom of the picture which you sadly can't see is from top shop and that denim lump you see at the bottom is a denim rucksack i got from Primark as well.
Here are the shoes and bag:




The last thing is probably one of the most important things i need
to share with you. And they are......HETALIA and
FUTURE DIARY. Both these shows are anime, and if you aren't
a big fan of anime.....you should probably watch these shows because
these shows will make you change your mind about anime. Future diary >>>>>
is about 12 people who have cell phones that will tell them the future via email.
These 12 people have to kill each other and the one who survives all the murders will become ''god'' but it gets harder for the 2 main characters because they fall in love with each other, but at the end of the day.....one of them has to kill their opair
but who would it be ???



Hetalia is just so random. It is basically a personification on countries. The main
characters are; Italy, Germany, England, America, China, Japan, Russia, France and Canada.
As you go through the series you meet other characters.



I hope you have enjoyed this blog post
