A Cheeky Wee Message From Santa!!

So lets face it..we might be 'grown up' now but that doesn't mean we don't want to enjoy the fact that Santa is coming soon!!

So one afternoon me and Bekah decided to do some looking at all the ways Santa can contact us (we know, we know..this makes us sad but don't tell us that you aren't going to go look this all up!?)

The first thing we looked at was the Santa tracker, you can find this by clicking here. The Santa tracker allows you to see which time zone Santa is currently delivering presents in.

We also found a ridiculous number of sites which allow you to make a personalised message from Santa for friends or family. Our obsession with Christmas got the better of us and we proceeded to try out about 10 different sites and send all our friends messages from Santa!!

We've managed to decide on the two sites we think are the best, MagicSanta and PortableNorthPole.

These allow you to create a personalised video complete with pictures to send to anyone you like, and they are really good fun to watch.

The final thing we found was in Rebekah's opinion the best yet, and I have to admit it was pretty funny..Rebekah was literally crying with laughter! JibJab's Dancing Elf Machine is brilliant, easy to use and guaranteed to make everyone laugh. You HAVE to try it out!! You are also able to change the background and the way the elf dances...what more can you possibly want!?

So we hope you've enjoyed reading this festive blog post and that you try some of these things out. If you have any cheesy Christmas sites let us know..we would love to try them out too!!

Merry Christmas

Love Rebekah and Katherine

Chalk Dip-Dye - "Chalking"

Have you ever wondered if there's an easier way to dip-dye your hair? You know, without the hassle of buying expensive dye and then not liking the end result, wishing you could wash it out straight away? Well, there is! Apparently it's the new "craze" - which meant we had to give it a go :)

We first heard of chalking from a YouTube channel called HeyKayli who gives a couple of demo's on how to chalk your hair. If you want to check that out then click HERE.

All you need is water and chalk - preferably  chalk pastels or soft pastel chalk.

Take a strand of hair and wet it. We wet our hair with a damp/wet cloth but it would be easier to have a spray bottle or wet your whole head in the shower first.

Once the strand is wet you take a piece of your chalk (whatever colour you choose) and rub it on the strand of hair in a downward motion. You don't need to cover the whole strand, just as far up as you want it.

Suggestion: If you want to do more than one colour, start with, say, pink and cover all the strands you want pink and then move on to a different colour, and so on.

When you brush the hair through (it tends to get a little dry at the ends) the chalk fades a little but it's still bright enough to see the colours.

The end result is pretty good! We think curling the hair would be nice as the colours would all blend together but leaving it straight would work too!

The good thing about chalking is that it only takes one wash to come out! So if you don't like it, you don't have to keep it for another two months :)

Anyone else tried chalking? What did you think of it?
