Hair Romance: Book Review

Hello lovelies, recently my mum went to the ProBlogger training event in Queensland. While she was there she met Christina from Hair Romance. I have loved her blog for years and was very excited when she came out with a book. When mum returned she had bought the book for me with a message from Christina inside. I was overwhelmed at how amazing the book was and thought that I would share my thoughts on it.

The book is called Hair Romance: How To Create 82 Hairstyles. This book travels with me all over the house and is a perfect tool to use in the morning if I am struggling to work out what hairstyle I want to wear. Christina has done a beautiful job designing the book and their is a great range of difficulty and style to choose from.

The book is on sale in Australia and New Zealand. You can find it at Big W, Dymocks and your local bookstore. You can also order it online from Booktopia or Angus & Robertson for $20.

This book is a must have for any hairstyle enthusiast or even if you know everything about hair or nothing about hair this is the book for everyone.

How to create wall collages

Hello everyone, recently I have been seeing wall collages mixed with photos, posters and stickers all over the internet. I really wanted to give it a go so I created some wall space in my room and got started. Today I am going to share with you my top tips to create an effective and beautiful collage.

tip 1 // think up of some sort of theme that the collage will be for example one of collages was all about summer so I put in summer colours and things I do in summer like a skateboard and an ice-cream.

tip 2 // try to make the things that you put in your collage different sizes so that it looks more interesting to look at.

tip 3 // it will look a lot better that you try to square up the collages, instead of scattering the photos, posters and stickers all over your room as it can easily help you section up your room.

I hope that you enjoyed these tips to create a wonderful collage. If you create a collage please use the hashtag #lucyoutandabout so I can see all of your creations and I can put them in this post!
