oops I did it again !

HELLO !

So i have done it again... i've dip dyed my new peruvian hair.

Instead of using dye I used bleach this time, which i know is going to damage my hair but it gives better results!!

I told everyone that I was not going to do it but I've missed it soo much...

It's a lot lighter than it was before but hey! as they say " blondes have more fun !" - well im not fully blonde but you get the drift-

P.S

I'm back in London for two weeks and i'm super excited ! Woop Woop !

Keep smiling

Tick Tock

It's finally SPRING!

Well, here in England it is not even that warm but I got carried away this morning and wore a t-shirt (with no jacket) and made my way to uni ( I am currently doing work experience at Geist magazine, which will soon be lunched).

I have one week left before I am going to hand in my uni project and I cannot wait!!!! Not because of stress but because I wanna be able to sleep as I haven't done that lately.

Anyway, this is a quick ootd+ life update post.

Jeans: Topshop

Enjoy the sun and keep smiling

My weight loss...so far

Hello!

so, I've been on a diet for years and it's only recently that I have decided to make some changes!!!

I've joined a local gym in January and I've been going there 5 times a week for 1h30minutes.

With the help of a trainer I've learned what sort of workout I need to do to achieve my weight loss and also, got some advise on what sort of food I should and should't eat!

So, I've been drinking lots of water and stopped eating junk food, however, everyone that knows me is aware that I LOVE chips and therefore I haven't completely stopped eating them, - I tried!!- Instead, I've just decided to switch to Weight Watchers oven chips, which are of course less fattening.

Anyway here below there are pictures of what I looked like before I started going to the gym and what i look like now. (don't look at how messy my room looks, I'm trying to tidy it)

My weight loss journey is still not over, but I am very proud of what I have achieved and I just wanted to share it with everyone!

Keep Smiling

Will you still LOVE me tomorrow?

HEYYY!

I just got back from London, I'm once again back in Kent for another week at uni.

It normally takes me 1 hour and 15 minutes to get back here, however, as you know, if you live in England, public transport is always deleyed for some reason. In fact, it took me 3 hours and 3o minutes today, which was not too bad considering my other experieces.

Anyway im getting too carried away!!! The title of this post is from Amy Wineheouse's song which is AMAZING, believe it or not I was listening to this song for the whole journey and I'm still not tired of it, considering that I am still listening to it as I am typying this post.

If you haven't heard this song before, take yourself to youtube NOW! You'll fall in love too, trust me :)

Here, below there's a quick OOTD ! (you can't see the shoes but I wore black and white VANS)

ENJOY and keep on SMILING !

15 minutes

HELLO!

It's nearly 1:00am , 'We found Love' by Rihanna has been on reply for a couple of hours and I'm wild awake doing Uni work.. ahhhhh! I'm sooo stressed out!

I'm half way through but, as i get one of the tasks done, i find out some more information and i have to go back to rephrase or even re do something!

I've been at home for the whole day today. I'm always indoors on Wednesdays and i love it because i just hang around this massive house in Kent in my Pyjamas.

I'm a lazy girl, if you hadn't noticed :)

Anyway, I'm on my 15 minutes break- hence the title of this post- ( i always give myself breaks when doing work for a quick fag and a cup of green tea) so i thought " why not upload something on my blog" and yes i have done it..

The pictures below were taken with my Macbook because i left my camera in London last week (I'm not vain, but i love taking pictures, even though I'm not photogenic. Ahaha !)

Bye for now.

Keep smiling

Life update

Hey everyone!

I'm so ashamed for not updating my blog for so long..

WELL WELL WELL I'm finally 20 and I'm at Uni ,as well, studying Fashion Promotion!

I moved out from London to Kent, although I'm in London every weekend for work and a bit of shopping here and then.

I really enjoy the course, I'm learning so much everyday... Even though, it is already stressful.

I got my results from my first project today and I've passed with a C grade.. I KNOW I KNOW i can do better than that but I'm still happy!

Now, I have to focus on my second project and there's so much to do ! It is about investigating and finding different meanings of a certain word. I chose the word 'UGLY' because there's so much to talk about as certain things that are in fashion could be seen as ugly by the society in a normal, everyday context ! How interesting is that? TOO EXCITING!

Anyway, this post was to let you know that I am still alive ! I will update, you guys, more often as soon as I can and i will also post some pictures as soon as i find the USB for my camera.. my room is so messy, i can't find anything around here.

P.S I finally bought my Macbook Pro in September.. it's Amazing !

Hey Bloggers!

long time ayee! Well, not really but I've been working crazy hours lately.

On Sunday i did a 5pm to 5am shift and i still haven't recovered yet, but hey! i'll survive.

So, h&m has delivered their autumn catalogue on Tuesday and i must say I really like the collection!!!! IT'S DOPE!! there are many things that i want to purchase and as usual i haven't wasted time. In fact, I've already gone shopping on Wednesday. However, my budget is really limited, as i am saving for a Mac notebook and you must know that they are pretty expensive. Saving is definitely not my forte but i'm nearly there, i can't keep on limiting myself! it's annoying!!

Anyway, what have you guys been up to? i would ask my English readers if you are enjoying summer but you know the weather isn't saying a lot (we had summer for 5 days this year D_E_P_R_E_S_S_I_N_G !! ) but if you come from another country, how's summer going??

Weekend Inspiration

The not so..Love hair Megasale

Hello bloggers,

I was meant to post this ages ago but i got caught up with my first exam, which was on Wednesday.

Last week Saturday there was the 'LOVE HAIR MEGASALE' which i thought no one knew about and to be honest was kept on a low, - I was trying not to mention it to too many people-. Well, basically they were selling Brazilian, Peruvian and Indian hair half price.

So, i got really excited swapped my shift and worked from 9am to 1pm, got changed and made my way to East London straight away.

On the tube a girl approached us and asked us if we were going to 'the Hub' which is exactly where we ( my sister and my friend Nmah ) were going. I'm still asking myself "How did she know we were going there?".But, she was really sweet and funny.

Anyways to cut the story short, we got there and there were so many girls. it was a total madness WHY? well, they advertised it on facebook, therefore everyone in London knew about it.

As were walking towards the building a random girl said "if you don't have a ticket forget it, you ain't going nowhere"

We got our tickets, anyways AH! too bad mine was number 393. However, we were lucky because Nmah's friend (Dammy) got there before us and she had number 188...but the queue was going really slowly!!!

P.s the girl that had number 2 was there from 4am and they opened the gates at 2pm !!!!!!!

So we decided to go to eat something -it was a KFC salad for me, i am still on a diet !!!-. Then we headed back to 'The Hub'.

We waited and waited and waited and finally they called numbers from 180 to 190 , so she goes in and guess what?

ALL THE HAIR WAS GONE !

Basically we waited for no reason...it was 7pm and we had been there from 2.30pm!!!! we were so upset but we decided to go on a shopping trip to Westfield where i bought a bunch of things from H&M and a pair of grey Toms !! i'll include the picture in the next post...

Well at least we didn't go home empty handed !

That's it for now

follow me @LindaOkachi

and

Keep smiling xx
