Go To Hairstyle | TeilzC

Hello lovelys, 

As some of you may know i'm not very high maintenance when it comes to my hair, in fact I rarely do a single thing to it other than wash it! 

Recently i've noticed most days I am doing the same hairstyle and i'm really loving it! It's so easy and takes no time at all which are both a winner with me, I feel like it's almost 90s but maybe thats just me. 


Messy waves with the top pulled back into a little pony tail. I feel it can be dressed up or dressed down- so versatile! 

Now what you are all waiting for, how can you get this look?! 

1. First of all, start off with wet/damp hair and part where you like. Note- the wetter the hair the longer this step will take. I like to leave my hair in a towel for 15 minutes and then air dry for another 20 minutes before the next step but will depend on how thick and long your hair is. 

2. Seperate the hair into two sections at either side of your head and make two french plaits (there are plenty of tutorials online if you arent sure how to do these). I like to sleep on these overnight as they are completely dry by morning, you can also do these in the morning and use a hair dryer over the plaits but I feel the overnight method works just that bit better. 

3. Once the plaits are completely dry you can slowly undo them leaving these gorgeous waves! If your hair doesnt hold waves/curls very well this is the time to hairspray! This is an optional step as my hair holds quite well and I don't need to include this step.

4. Final step! Take a small elastic and gather the top section (i'd say no lower than your temples) and tie into a pony tail and tighten! And we're finished! Another optional step is the back comb this section to create more volume if you'd like. For me back combing would only be if I was going out in the evening. 


Second day curls also work! They are much looser but still cute non the less! 

What's your go to hairstyle at the moment?

Relaxing after a stressful day | TeilzC

There are many ways that we all like to relax and just chill out after a stressful day. With the type of work that I do, I need a chilled out night after every shift! Twelve and a half hour shift plus the stress that comes along with calls for these! 


1. Bath time! Not just for scubbing away all the germs but also the stress! If i've had an extremely busy day I tend to have a bath rather than a shower. A bathbomb and some music is the perfect combo! Let all my muscles relax and have some peace. 

2. Put on fresh sheets and clean pjs and grab a cuddle buddy - Having an early night can do the world of good, even if you don't fall asleep right away it's nice to just sit back and do nothing all evening. 

3. Clean my room- This is a strange one, clean to relax?! It really works! Clean and organised room means clean and organised thoughts. Makes bedtime much easier as my mind is at rest. 

4. Movie night- Chilling out with some films and your fave snack, what else can I say? 

5. Calling friends/family- For myself this tends to be Andrew most nights as he never fails to make me smile and take my mind off the day i've had and the next to come. Or i'll have a chat with my mum, she is a great listener and will always find the good in things.

What do you do after a stressful day?

A day in the life... family day out! | TeilzC

Hello everyone! It's 2015, I can't believe it's here already. How did that happen?!  

A few weeks ago myself, Andrew, his mum and gran took a little trip into Edinburgh to see Winter Wonderland that is still currently at Princes Gardens. We had a lovely day filled with shopping, waffles, hot chocolate and lots of laughs. 

I took a few snaps throughout the day; I believe it is in Edinburgh for another weekso if you have the chance to go I'dhighly recommend it! 


There were so so many stalls, something for everyone! Candles, chocolate, hot food,nut crackers, nic-naks - basically everything you could ever want from a market. So much variety!


We were so lucky that the sun came out for us- unusual to have a clear sky I the middle of Winter in Scotland.


As it gets darker the more beautiful Edinburgh gets, the lights look fantastic!


After a lovely day, there was mixed emotions. Sad to be leaving but so glad to see my bed! If you didn't get the chance to visit this year the it is definitely a must for next time around!
