Cutting off our hair was something Georgina and I wanted to do together as it would be quite a big step in both of our lives and our parents were reluctant to let us get it done. Telling them we wanted to donate it was the tipping point in us being able to finally get it cut off as it was for a good cause.

We kept it secret from most of out family and friends as when we arrived at the school leavers party we expected a lot of people to be shocked as we didn't let anything slip (on the most part!). Personally, I've not had family or friends who have suffered from alopecia or hair loss due to illness but I still wanted to donate my hair as it's for a good cause.

Collectively, Georgina and I have donated over 20 inches of our hair, and it's going to be sent to the Little Princess Trust and mixed with hair of a similar colour to be made in to a wig for a child with no hair.

Doing this has not only made my hair thicker but it has improved the condition and made it feel so much more softer. I absolutely love how my hair looks so I'm just hoping our dance teachers aren't too shocked as we have a dance show and dance exam this week!

Recently my life has been consumed my revision so blogging hasn't been a priority but I thought as a treat for only having seven exams left then I'd write a post. I'm going out to my mums friends party tonight so I decided to do a dramatic eye shadow look, I hope it worked!

I've also been looking in to cruelty free makeup products to buy after I've used what I've got. These are marked with a '~' so if anyone has any suggestions then please comment!

I've been loving nude lips and dramatic eyes recently, I think it looks okay because I was having a 'mare with the eyeliner and eye shadow! There aren't any eyebrow products included as I have recently gotten HD Brows which I absolutely love!

Recently I have been absolutely obsessed with this smoothie. I think that it's perfect for in the morning as it contains oats which fill you up and prepare you for the day. Even though it's not the nicest to look at it tastes so nice and if I could I would drink them all day everyday!

Ingredients: - Banana - Peanut Butter - Milk (to make it vegan, almond milk) - Oats

Method: 1. Break up the banana in to small pieces and put it in to the blender or smoothie maker of your choice. 2. Add a table spoon of peanut butter in to the cup and then fill it to just above the banana with milk and blitz quickly. 3. Then add 25g of oats in to the mixture and anything else you want such as golden syrup or honey and blitz again.
