Monday Must Have

Wow, Monday comes around quickly... 

But today, I have THE best, very short but very, very necessary item that a lot of you are going to love.  Not all of you (and I'm sure no one wants to love everything every week...) but this is something that people have been asking me about for ages.  

And I have linked to them on Instagram before but I reckon I get asked about this pretty much more than anything else.

How do I curl my hair? 

People always think I'm going to say some exceptionally expensive fancy wand thingy.  Well, it is a wand thingy but it's not exceptionally expensive and it's definitely not fancy.  In fact it actually looks randomly like a dildo.  Yes the conversation usually goes "is it the one that looks like a dildo?"... "yup, the pink dildo".

I have tried loads.   I have another one that is more tapered on the end but it gives a tighter curl as opposed to a looser one.  I also have a much more expensive big barrel wand that's too big to work on shorter hair.  Then there's the traditional tong style with the extra bit that flips out and clamps onto your hair, but that gives a funny flicky bit at the end.  GHD's I love - for straight hair.  I have watched a gazilliion You Tube vids on how to curl your hair with GHD's.  That makes it look so easy.  SO easy.  It's not.  Well it probably is but I have the attention span of a newt and so I can't manage it. 

THIS works.  I got mine from TKMaxx for about the same price on a total whim.  

And it really is the most perfect wand, shapewise, girthwise (oh you know what I mean...) and it heats up super quickly AND is ideal for travelling.

Remington CI2725 was £19.95 now £14.95

The one tip I have is when you want to use it, there is no on switch, you just pull out the wand bit until it clicks.  


Ta Dah!  So there you are.  For anyone who themselves wants perfect waves (even I can do it..) or is looking for that last minute extra present.   This is the only wand that I use and can do my whole head in 5 mins.

Finishing with my outfit from Saturday which I forgot to post yesterday.  We had the loveliest day - trip to Star Wars (which is amazing but much longer than I'd expected) and then family lunch at our favourite pub restaurant - The Kentish Hare in Bidborough (near TWells).

I am currently deliberating what to wear to a party tonight in the Cotswolds.  It's not like me to leave it till the last minute - this could go one of two ways.... sometimes it definitely works out for the best (I'm not going to think of the alternative!). 

One week to go guys.. how's the Christmas shopping going?!
