How to Wednesday: How to Juggle Working & Blogging | Aimee Bell MUA

Hey Guys, & Welcome to my new Wednesday How To Series on my blog! I have decided that also being a relatively new blogger, how to posts have been very helpful for me and my blogging & getting myself out there so I thought I would do a sort of Wednesday how to series for the next few weeks or until I run out of things to 'how to' about! 

NYX is now live @ Boots.Com | Aimee Bell MUA

Whilst checking my emails this afternoon I had a very exciting email from Boots team advising that NYX professional makeup are now available to purchase on Boots.com!!

In the UK NYX makeup isn't easily accessible to purchase unless purchased on line so to be able to purchase it from one of our biggest drugstores so be it online but hopefully means it could come to our stores soon!

Rodial Skin Care - Youtube Channel, Explore the range! I Aimee Bell MUA

I have recently been contacted about this gorgeous skin care range which if I am honest I have heard about but not really looked into as the only references to it I have seen is for anti-aging products. So upon giving them a cheeky read up I was pleasantly surprised that they also do a range of makeup products & plenty of other cool skin care ranges such as a personal fave which I may give a wurl is the Dragon Blood Range!  I'm a sucker for anything sounding gory ha!

So a little back ground of the brand! It was founded by the gorgeous Maria Hatzistefanis aka @Mrs Rodial back in 1999. Since then it has expanded across 35 countries worldwide and have an awesome youtube channel now dedicated to demonstrating the products & some of the videos by Maria herself which I think is an awesome touch!

You can subscribe to the channel here >>>>>>>> https://www.youtube.com/user/RodialSkincare

My personal favorite video which are the Get the Celeb Look series videos like the Kim K one below:

You can also follow her on her Rodial journey on her Blog here: http://mrsrodial.com/

As I am hoping to have my youtube channel back up and running as of next Monday! FINALLY!!! I am thinking of creating some of the looks from her Celeb Series for my channel!

Wednesday Thoughts - Autumn/Winter Morning Routine? | Aimee Bell MUA

So on opening my curtains this morning I was greeted by my favorite season of the year! Autumn has finally hit here in the UK and I couldn't be happier. Anyone that knows me I am constantly too warm, opening windows, putting the AC on at work and driving everyone insane ha! There is nothing I like more than cuddling up in big thick jumpers, slippers, brushed cotton bedding with a nice bit mug of hot chocolate in my onesie, watching endless movies on Netflix listening to the rain outside. 

Mission Hair Growth - Growing out a Pixie Cut - Month #1 I Aimee Bell MUA

So I have decided now is the time to grow out my hair. I have been rocking out the pixie cut now for a good 6 years & have tried and failed to grow my hair out about 3 times now! (Must be mental as if I hadn't of cut it those times it would be down past my chest now!! **angry face**)

If you have been following me on twitter/instagram for the last few years you will already know about my pathetic hair growing attempts & extension wearing days.... I guess if you have ever had short hair in your life you will know how difficult it is to not give in when you reach the 'Billy Ray Cyrus Mullet' style hair cut! It is way too easy to just go f*ck it i'm getting it chopped, I guess I will have to struggle with short boy hair forever!

However now I have reached the ripe old age of 22 (I know I know im still a baby) now is the last chance really to be able to grow my hair out to where it used to be (Approximately belly button level) & still pull it off.

How I want it it will be around 4 years of hair growing hell but I know it will be worth it when I reach my hair goals!!!

So I have been forever Pinning hair inspiration for my hair as it begins to grow so It sort of looks like a hair cut! (If your not following me on pinterest click here!!!) so here is my sort of hair growing list of hair styles...

This is the first stage I guess, getting it to a long pixie which is easily transitional to a bob when it grows abit longer...

Then comes the almost chin length bob... Slowly beginning to look like sort of hair you can get away with without looking like a 'Im trying to grow my hair out hair cut'

Then we have a few long bob stages until we hit shoulder length hair..

A blunt shoulder length bob comes next & then its full speed ahead to hair growth!!! Eventually I am hoping to create some beautiful long locks like these below.... Adventurous I know but hopefully with a lot of tears & frustration with my ugly hair I will get here!!

As anyone knows when growing out your hair we all do the same searches on the internet to find out which products, techniques & crazy concoctions for hair masks will help us grow out our hair faster and longer than ever before. 

After searching for a good few days I found a cute article on BAZAAR here with 5 top tips on how to grown luscious long hair :). The steps include: 

Using a hydrating hair mask - Applying a hair treatment that contains hydrating ingredients helps to maintain as well as restoring hairs internal structure and elasticity to help prevent breakage of the hair.

Be Gentle when Brushing - Roughly brushing your hair when wet or dry, can lead to tears on your hair and in the long run cause your hair to break and snap off. You should try to brush your hair from the ends up to minimize damage.

Seal your Split Ends - Use a daily treatment which can help smooth hair and help reinforce & structurally repair damaged ends. You can pick up a split end treatment anywhere. 

Eat Protein Rich Food - As the hair is mainly made up from proteins you should each a balanced diet with a high level of protein in such as chicken, beef, eggs, nuts & seeds etc. This helps the hair grow healthy strands of hair & gives it good food to grow from! 

Use Heat Tools Sparingly - Try not to use heat on your hair where possible as heat damages and can cause your split ends to snap off or become worse. If you do have split ends I would suggest getting a regular trim & If you do have to use heat use a heat protection spray throughout. 

Use Hair Growing Supplements - I know this may be a fad however I have purchased some from HairTru.com and have been using these for 5 days now and my hair feels softer, healthier & seems to have grown slightly. Any sort of supplements which contain Biotin & Gelatin are a sure way to boost the speed in which your hair grows. But like anything else, depending on your natural hair growth rate depends on how fast your hair growth is boosted! I am going to do a full review on these once I have been taking them for the 1st month supply :) 

I hope this post was interesting & Im sorry if you got tired of reading by the end of it as its quite a long one this week ha!! 

Have you got any hair growing tips? Have you successfully grown out your pixie cut? I would love to hear your stories so comment below!!
