Dip-dye for a day

Have you noticed all the hair trends of 2011! The ombre, hair feathers, dip dyes...

I did consider hair feathers, but was demotivated to try out the dye trends just because its permanent and I know I'll get bored of it and will want to undo it, I don't want to damage my hair.

I have seen some girls dip dye their hair and it looked super cute, but if you're like me afraid of bold permanent hair dyes... colour.bug might be useful!

It comes in 3 shades: pink, purple & orange.

Kevin Murphy (hair stylist) invented this dye tool to be able to change models hair on the runway, as he thought that he couldn't just change a model's hair just because he feels like it. This tool is just like make-up, washes off in the shower. You can't sleep with it, unless you want to wake up to a dyed pillow case. You should also wear a dark top if you're putting your hair down.

and YES it works on dark hair!

Here is how you use it on light and dark hair:

Cute group costumes

Next time I get invited to a costume party, I'll make sure everyone knows who I'm friends with ;p

New year, new birthdays

So its another year filled with birthday occasions, as adults we don't do birthday parties anymore which is just a shame, I wouldn't mind playing musical chairs lol! We don't really throw ourselves a party unless someone throws one for us. I have noticed that most of my friends including myself celebrate our birthdays in 3 very typical ways:

1) A mini celebration at 12:00am, most probably with your parents, siblings and closest friends. They'll just bring a cake and a dozen balloons and sing you the happy birthday song, then go to sleep :)

2) Gather all your closest friends and cousins and go to a restaurant for dinner.

3) The best one: a surprise party! Although not everyone would want that, not everyone has free time nowadays, unless the birthday is on a weekend.


I used to surprise my mom on her birthday when she woke up in the morning. She used to sleep early so that gave me time to blow up a lot of balloons, I throw them on her corridor then I cover up her door with A4 papers so I have a big white space and write a big 'Happy Birthday Mommy' over it. She'll need to tear it off so she could walk out of her room lol. I used to do that when I was 11/14 years old.

As much I love morning surprises, no one really did surprise me when I wake up. But I got good birthday surprises though. My friends showed up in our house a couple of birthdays, I was surprised of course thinking how their parents allowed them to go out so late at night!

Here are pictures of some ways to 'morning surprise' someone on their birthdays..

A surprise in the corridor!

Or in the bedroom, wait for them to fall asleep and fill their room with balloons! They'll be surprised when they wake up in the morning. This could make a good morning or a night mare if one of the balloons popped in the middle of the night lol.

Ofcourse it might be a bad idea to do this kind of surprise for a person who has a job just because that person wouldn't want to be late! So why not take the party to the office?

Go to the office a little bit earlier and tie cards at the end of the balloon string with happy birthday notes from their colleagues, family and friends. The same idea could be done at home too.

I WISH EVERYONE A HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND A HAPPY MORNING!

The Obliteration Room

Artist Yayoi Kusama created a bright white environment back in December 2011 in Australia, and invited kids to come over for 2 weeks. The kids were given thousands of coloured stickers to stick them wherever they want. The result was beautiful, looks like a colour explosion!

This creation is part of the artist's exhibition that will run through March 2012.
