Overnight, Heatless and Bouncy Rag Curls

 
Hi beauts.
 
Last night I decided to give my hair a heat break and curl it with rag curls! It is very simple and all you need is your hair and cut up strips of any old t-shirt.
 
So, to start, raid your wardrobe and find the oldest t-shirt that you own, unless of sentimental value, and tear it right up. With scissors, obviously. I used an old floral one and cut it up into about twelve strips, this left me with one remaining.
 
 
 I started by washing my hair and letting it air dry until it was just damp. Then, I took a fabric strip and started rolling. I did this on about one and a half inch sections of hair.
 
  
As you can see here, they just look a bit like rollers, however, with long tails. Also, don't mind my somewhat angry face at this point, it was half past ten at night and I was pretty tired.
 

Here, I am just rolling the hair up the rag, starting from the bottom. If you have end papers, here is a good example of when to use them as the ends do get quite unruly and untamed. Also, for any Marvel fans out there, hi, I am wearing a wolverine t-shirt. It was actually my brother's but I wear it more than him.
 
Just keep rolling!
 
 
When you get to the top, just tie the ends of the rag together in a single knot. Personally, I find this part to be the hardest as I struggle to keep the hair in its roll.
 
 
They should then end up something like this.
 
 
Here is me in my school uniform just after I had taken the rags out and as you can see, they are perfect! Remember, though, that if your hair is too soggy before hand, the curls will still be damp and will drop out straight away.
 
I hope you liked this hair tutorial and if you would like to see more just like it, let me know and I will see what I can do. If you like my previous few posts, I'm sure you will be excited for what is to come! What would you like to see next?
 
Until next time...

I'm Back!

 
Hi beauts.
 
Ok. So, I've been away a while because I actually have a life, haha. No, for real I have just been not in the mood for blogging for a few months and out of the blue, I decided to rejoin the blogging world!
 
Without a shadow of a doubt, I will remember about my little space on the internet. As I have sat here in my new found "blogging nook" with a numb bum, for about two hours, so far, I have done absolutely nothing other than rekindle my knowledge of the blogger world. As well as create that long awaited Ariel mood board!
 
 
All jokes aside, this took me about an hour to perfect as I wanted it to be perfect for you guys and honestly, I think it is the best one yet.
 
Now, obviously, the last time I tried to commit to a schedule, it miserably failed. So, I am not, I repeat NOT, going to get all flustered and dump a whole load of pressure on my shoulders. From here on outwards, absolutely no schedule, I am going to post if and when I feel like it!
 
I guess that is all from me today!
 
 
Until next time...

My New Obsession

 
 
Hi beauts.
 
So, my latest obsession is called Polyvore! It is a website similar to Pinterest, in a way, however, you can look up items of clothing, beauty, furniture or décor that you own and see how other people style it. Or you can create your own collage or collection and then you can basically have fun.
 
Home Page
 This shows you items similar to the ones you have liked or added to your sets or collection.
 
My profile
Here are your sets, items, collections etc. Baring in mind I only started my account yesterday, I have already created 4. Go follow me!

Go and check out Polyvore and get addicted like me!
 
Until next time...

Fashion Moodboard ~ Snow White

Hi Beauts.
 
Today, I thought I would create a sort of moodboard inspired by Disney's Snow White.
I love Disney so much, can you tell?
 
From now on, every Wednesday, I will create a Disney inspired collage then post it here on Miss Freya Elizabeth. Next week will be Cinderella then the next Ariel, the next Rapunzel and so on.
 
Until next time...

Outfit Of The Day

 
Hi beauts.
 
 
This is what I wore for my parents evening / all afternoon on Thursday. I really love this dress and my new shoes as they are both recent purchases. This was actually took on my camera, not my phone as I finally bought batteries, but I am struggling in the YouTube department. Any video suggestions would be helpful, maybe a make-up or hair video? Anyway, I got this dress from Primark, for £8, bargain, a few weeks back and I have fallen in love. It has cut off shoulders with spaghetti straps, as well as a small cut out on the neck line. It is a short length without it flashing your knickers, so don't worry, also the sleeves end just above the elbows so it's great if you don't really like your upper arms
.
The shoes, I got in River Island and I don't know how much they were but I bet they weren't as cheap as Primark shoes. They're nude, have a platform and a heel.

Until next time...

DIY Splatter Leggings

 
Hi beauts.
 
My mum had a splatter of bleach on her leggings and she wasn't ever going to wear them again, so, I thought I would make them re-wearable. I was aiming for the galaxy look, but that didn't exactly happen, so, it's more of a splattered but cute look. To start off, you will obviously need the bleach and something to splatter with, I used an old hair dye brush, but you can use whatever you have. At one point, I turned to soaking a dish cloth in bleach and squeezing it on to them, that gave more of a spotted look, I guess. I recommend doing this outside, as it can get really, and I mean REALLY messy.

 
It seriously doesn't matter what bleach you use as long as it is actually bleach. We already had this one in the house for cleaning purposes, so I just used this, the cheaper, the better.
 
 

The leggings with the already existing splash of bleach, so annoying.




That bleach gets to work real quick.



Front

 
The end result of the front.


Back
And then the back. Don't mind the broken head band there, that was one of my genius ways of splattering the bleach
I then left them out on the washing line overnight whilst they developed into a pinkish cream colour.


 
Here are the legging,s I thought I should model them, and turns out, they look a lot better on than I thought they would.

 
Until next time...
