Into Safari, who are you kidding!!?

Today, I went to have my eyes examined, and it turns out that I have far-sighted 50 and astigmatic 75 vision!! 


What does that mean?


It means that my eyes can see 20/20 and 20/40 which is almost a perfect vision and is recovering...... slowly!! Hubby wants to do it since he can't believe that I can be far-sighted now while I was negative 1000 vision on both eyes just 2 weeks ago. A little far-sighted is good as it might bounce back a little in the future during healing process. 


With a vision like that, now I think I can survive in the deepest forest...climbing trees, going under the sea, and even fight with the most vicious animals in the jungle.... :P ha... just my imagination. Maybe a little walk down in the mountain in Kauai with my sexiest Safari outfit and high heels is the least I can conquer!! 


Yes, we are planning our next trip to Kauai.... can't wait!!!

grr...I need to buy a steaming ironing.....

Messy Up-Do

If you have curly hair you will understand my fear of the rain. I rarely wear my hair up, but yesterday I was too tired to style it and couldn't face the frizz in the pouring rain. I therefore decided to pin it out of the way in a messy up-do, inspired by missglamorazzi (her version of a side bun can be found here).

To create the bun I tied my hair into a side ponytail and looped it over so the hair was cinched in the middle with the hair tie. I then pinned random sections to the base of the ponytail to create a full, textured bun. If you have very straight hair you may want to curl it beforehand, but as my hair is naturally wavy it was easy to mould. I finished the bun off with a hair accessory to hide a few of the pins and add a little extra interest. This feather broach was a gift from my friend, and I think it makes just as good a hair accessory!

As my hair is layered I decided to leave the front section out, as it would invariably fall out anyway. I split this into two pieces, twisted them in opposite directions, then twisted them around each other. I then pinned the end around the bun to secure the twist.

This such a great little up-do for when you are in a rush as it takes just minutes! Since my hair is heavy, and I have a lot of it, I did use quite a few bobby pins to secure the bun, but it stayed perfectly in tact for the whole day. Let me know what you think my lovelies! xxx
