Kardashian Twitter Overload

Sweet baby Jesus I'm sooooooo over the Kardashian's!  Eh, well not really.  I still Sky + everything pertaining to the stunning beeyatches.  But truly, on Twitter, anybody who follows them must feel like I do right?  Khloe is probably my favourite cos I think she's the one that shows her true colours but she's also the one that tweets the most and usually about her Lam Lam (her basketball superstar hubbster to you and me).  Kim only tweets about the size of her hoop, QuickTrim or gushes about how much she loves her girls and her sisters (mahoosive eyeroll)  The lil one Kourtney bores me so I don't follow her but the Ma, Kris, well she's a canny one she is.  She either tweets about the show and who's gonna watch it at 10 Eastern or whatever other time it's on in the States or she gets paid to tweet and that really fecks up my Chi.  Not liking the fact that she words her tweets in such a way that we're supposed to believe those are her thoughts on a particular product.  Baldyknickers they are!  I still like the Kardashian brand cos I believe they do have a lovely family and are a real family and I love the drama they make up for every series.  Plus it makes me feel better that Kim has a bigger hoop than me, although she gets paid to wiggle hers :-)

Losing the poundage is making me lose my mind

Back in January I embarked on yet another "diet".  I'd a pain in me hoop with feeling like a sack of dirty knick knacks.  Initially I was loathe to try another UniWeightCurves type place but I realised I need the disgusted look of the woman weighing me in to keep me in check.  I'd heard about Slimming World on Twitter (yet another reason to adore it).  So with dread filling my heart (not an overreaction I swear) off I went out to the Crowne Plaza in Blanchardstown.  You'd swear I was off to the gallows I felt so nervous.  I've never been one for weighing myself.  I tend to use my clothes as a guage to see if I've gained or lost weight.  My younger mans Mam bless her every year she'd get me a top or cardi and every year the sizes would go up ha ha!  She always said "ah it's for comfort hon sure they're all wearing them big these days"!  But I knew what she was saying really :-)  So anyhoo I got weighed.  Mehhhhh!!  I blogged about my first few weeks earlier on and I had fairly consistent losses then I forgot to blog about my progress.  HUNGER!!!!  I'm thinking hunger made me forget :-))  So I'm over 2 stone down now.  Wahahahayyyyy!! 
I'm thrilled of course but it's still soul destroying.  Some weeks, you stick to the plan so well, you walk your dog, you clean your windows with vigour and batter the floors with the hoover and mop and at the weigh in you've either stayed the same or gained.  What the actual fook!!  And then there's the times when you're been on a mahoosive bender and drank litres of wine and eaten everything that wasn't nailed down and at the weigh in youre down 3lbs (I fecking love those weeks!):-)  So it's hard to know what's gonna happen at the weighin and if you're anything like me, it'll determine your mood for the evening.  A loss and it's oh life is wonderful and I'm so pretty and if you're up, well it's back to feeling like a sack of dirty knick knacks :-)  I hate that it has this power over me but I think of it as a project, one that has a deadline that I haven't reached yet so I need to keep ticking away at it until the deadline is met.  I had a bit of a fall off the oul wagon tonight though and succumbed to the Kinder Bueno that waved at me everytime I opened the fridge but feck it.  Twas mahoosive and I enjoyed it.  I'm focused but not when there's a Bueno in the house girls....jeez!;-P

Hotloxs Hair Extensions

I have long hair, I've always had long hair but I wanted longer hair.  If you're anything like me your hair will grow until it's past your shoulders but settle just above your bra strap a couple of inches though with the weight of my baps these days my bra strap is creeping up my back monthly ha ha! 
Anyhoo, I went to an NYC make up event in A-Wear recently and Louise Johnston of Fade Street notoriety was the model.  I was struck by how fab her hair was so of course I asked her and she said they were Hotloxs extensions.  Well, if they're good enough for Louise, they're good enough for me so I made an appointment with Anna. 

Anna worked with another girl and covers all of Ireland doing mobile hair extensions.  She's incredibly busy and often does 7 sets of extensions per day and that includes travelling from her home in Kilkenny to various parts of the country.  I've had extensions before let me tell ya but never like this.  She is super speedy.  She was in and out within the hour and with no fuss.  She blended the hair with my own and cut it to length and I honestly couldn't tell where my own hair started.  Amazeballs! 

That night, was a pain in the hoopaloop!  I couldn't sleep cos the bonds were so uncomfortable but over the course of the week I didn't notice them so much.  Anna tells you to lash the leave in conditioner into your hair at night and put it in a plait to minimise the knotting while you sleep so I've been doing that however, knotting is a mahoosive problem in my hair.  Just this evening I had to cut a huge knot out.  God knows if it was my real hair or not.  Ah sure it'll grow...or not as the case may be ha ha!  They are by far the best extensions I've ever tried.  The hair quality is amazing and 6 weeks in I've not lost a single bond.  Unheard of with me.

However, I'm getting to the stage now where they are more of a bother than not so I'm thinking POB!  Bring on pay day :-)
