Rollers, Fairytales and anything Pinteresting!



Time to blog. Once again it's been a while. Whoops.
I'm just going to write about a couple of different things within my life that I am currently liking or hating.

Firstly,I have just asked to join Pinterest. I am quite excited about this new social site as it's focus is mainly upon images and creating your own interesting board. Yet, I am confused about why the site is invite only and you have to wait for them to approve you to join. Rather time consuming for a site which is new and looking to build its profile. Surely, it should be like Twitter where you can be tweeting within minutes of signing up. If the process takes a while surely people will lose interest in Pinterest? However, I hope they let me start an account and start to pin images. I feel it will be a great way to show new fashion pieces I see online and to research what is popular!

I also want to talk about a television programme which I have been watching religiously. It is called Once Upon a Time and is broadcast on channel 5 every Sunday night. The American show tells the story of a mother reunited with her adopted son who needs her help. He believes that all of the members of his town, Storybrooke, are  fairytale characters under an evil witches curse. As viewers we see different plots relating to the characters, some set in reality others are in a fantasy kingdom proving that all the cast are magical . Snow white, Cinderella and Rumplestiltskin are a few of the fairytale characters which appear. This  has had me hooked with references being present to classic stories and Disney films as well as the reality plots echoing a soap opera or drama. I have recently heard that there will be a second series and I am thrilled. I hope channel 5 snap it up and fast! 

I have discovered velcro rollers and I have fallen in love with what they do to my hair! I am wondering if I should invest in some hot rollers or sleep in rollers which seem to be a new celeb trend. I am trying to grow my hair so perhaps this will stop me straightening my hair as this causes so much damage to my tips.
