DIY ombre dark brown curly hair at home

So for a while I've been a bit poorly (hence the lack of blog posts) now I'm feeling better, and with New Years Eve approaching, I thought it would be the perfect time to redo my

dip-dye. I thought I'd show you lovely lot incase you're curious.

Before :(

After :)

Before I start I just want to clear a few things up:

Giraffe Cooks: Paleo Bread - Ugg Foods Review

For a while now I've been saying I'm going to try to eat Paleo, but the one thing that normally trips me up is sandwiches, mainly because they're the easiest lunch and you can put literally anything in them.

So when I stumbled across the Ugg Food range in Whole Foods the other day I thought I'd give it a try. Ugg foods products are basically Betty Crocker for Paleo diets, the mix is all there, you just need to add a few things. I thought I'd try the Chia seed and nut bread, at first I wasn't sure because it is a little expensive at £6.95, but in the past I've tried to make bread before (a complete disaster) and it would save me buying bags of each of the ingredients so I thought it was well worth the try. On with the baking!

Exciting (for me anyways) update!!!

Wait... what?!

Yeah.. sorry I changed it :)

After trying to link my blog to different people , I quickly came to a conclusion.

If I was having trouble remembering my own blog name, then how could I expect

anyone else to!

So as a result, mix-and-pick.blogspot.com is now dead,

Long live TheClashingGiraffe.blogspot.com (or something like that ;) )

Beauty Bloggers of NYC I salute you!

Last week I was in the fabulous NYC and I did some amazing things, bought some lovely things, saw some amazing museums (more on that later), but I just have one bug bare.

When you look at the Internet on tips for New York they all say about the best tickets to buy, times to see the different attractions and offers, but not ONE mentioned the hell my skin would go through!

Fair enough I went in winter, and I knew that pollution is bad in The Big Apple, but I live and work in London, I didn't think it could be much worse. How wrong I was.

Excuse my Dino Onsie, was having a comfy day ><

Off to NY brb ✈️🗽

Unfortunately I will not be around to do a proper blog post for the next week. I'm going on a family holiday to NY for my stepdads 50th Birthday. Super excited as you can see :)

I will still be sharing pictures through Instagram though, or maybe I'll just make one big post when I'm home. Not quite sure yet but I don't really want to spam you guy's feed. What would you prefer?

I'm super proud of myself managing to do this whole post from safari on my phone.

Let me tell you it ain't easy!!

Has anyone been to New York? Anything you'd recommend we go see?

Bus stop chique

Dress - Religion

Shoes - Vagabond
Tights - Sainburys
Lipstick - Barry M
Coat, Necklace & Earrings - Topshop
Bus stop - London Borough Redbridge ;)

Sometimes I just like to dress up and not look completely scruffy going to work, this normally happens when I'm feeling a bit crappy cause it always manages to cheer me up.

To do!

So I've had tons of ideas for posts in my head but I keep finding other things to do. To try and get over this i'm going to make a list here for two reasons:

1. This way I'll remember what posts I had planned

2. If I say I'm going to do stuff I'll look silly if I don't

So here's the magical list that WILL get done!

Scoff & Banter review

So last week was my friends Birthday, she wanted to go somewhere nice and a bit special just for a catch up and a meal. I told her about The Nudge which is a really good website filled with slightly unusual places to go / eat in London.

She chose this restaurant called Scoff & Banter they have a few different locations, I've already walked past the one in Leicester Square and remembered thinking I really love their branding and think the name is just perfect too, but we booked a table for the one near Covent Garden.

Once we found the place (it was a little tricky as we were given the wrong address) we sat down to eat. I had literally spent the whole day looking at the menu and knew exactly what I was getting (please tell me I'm not the only one that does this!) I was trying to be "good" so went for the Sea Bream with Mash and an Oyster dressing - but they called it something posher!

The Play That Goes Wrong

The Short Story: I absolutely love this play.

The Long Story:

For those who don't know me (everyone) If I really really really enjoy going to the theatre, I'm a bit of an old woman in that respect. If I could, I'd spend all my money on going to see musicals and plays.

About Me

"If nothing goes, everything goes" - Me, the other day.

Since I've started working, I've realised that I kinda miss writing just for the fun of it. So that's why I've decided to start blogging.

One of my closest friends (Frankie) described me as "wonderfully unhinged", and I guess this is unfortunately the most accurate way I've been described.

I try to live my life by doing things that make me smile or laugh; this applies to everything, from the clothes I wear to what I get up to on the weekend.

Just a heads up, I like to cook as well.... but I'm not always good at it. If you consider yourself a budding chef I'd love for your help on some of the recipes I post where everything has gone a bit squiffy...

So yeah.. I think that's all for now.. yay first blog post!

Let the fun begin!
