The process of Scott Cornwall's colour B4.

I just thought i would write a quick blog while i am in the middle of doing my hair. I will do an overall review of it later on.

The application is pretty simple. One bottle is enough for relativly long hair. Like most people have said, it does have an eggy stinkbomb smell to it. When you are applying it, it is berable...(the smell) its when you have to wait for an hour that it really stinks!

I have to wait about 40 more minutes now, so i am hoping that it has all gone ok, and i really really hope i haven't gone bright ginger.

I would advise a friend to help, just so you know all the back is covered. I always have someone with me when im dying my hair - its reassuring.

So thats it for now, my next blog will be the review.

bye! x

hair dye disaster!

I first ever dyed my hair earlier on this year. It was to a black cherry colour, which i liked but got slightly bored of, so i decided to go a more natural colour. ( A chocolate brown colour) Well lets just say that the image on the box is pretty misleading! I dyed it thinking it would end up chocolatey and warm coloured. But no, it ended up practically black, its more of an off black at the moment but it is still way too dark! Personally i don't think it suits me. So i have been searching the web for a product that could help speed up the process of getting my hair lighter again without bleaching it. Eventually i came across a product called "colour B4" by Scott Cornwall. I have read reviews, and watched reviews on you tube too. And i haven't come across a bad one. So i went out to superdrug  yesterday and got myself one. I intend to apply it tomorrow with the help of a friend....(just so i make sure its all properly done). I know results will vary. I just hope i don't end up ginger! So fingers crossed! 




Here is an image of what my hair looked like after dying it dark chocolate by L'Oreal. The casting creme range.

Changed my mind.....

So i changed my mind, i thought about changing my nickname to Cheska, but i have decided not to.


The reason being that Frankie is a part of my identity. And i wouldn't get use to the fact my name was different. 


I have always said i will never change for anyone... and i stick by that, i won't change. And that's why i am not changing my name. I would feel like i'm trying to create a new person. And i'm happy with who i am, and i'm happy with my name.


so see you later bloggers,

Cheska's happening.

Francesca Emily Dare

This was the name given to me at birth. Now practically all my life i have hated the fact i have such a long first name. And always wished i could have been called Emily (my middle name) instead.

So somehow down the line i have managed to become a Frankie. Now i don't mind the name, its just i fancy a change. And i have my reasons for wanting to change my nickname!

Them being, people calling me Fran instead of Frankie, that just annoys me... i mean who actually likes the name Fran? Its gross.

So i heard about the name Cheska (chess-ka) a couple days ago. It is used as a nickname for Francesca, and ever since i've just liked the sound of it.

I really like the name Cheska. Its a lot more girly than Frankie. The only problem is, that being 16, family and friends know me as Frankie. So changing it would be difficult for them to get use to and myself hearing it.

Its just something i felt blogging about! Maybe in the next few days i'll be a Cheska... who knows?

until next time

Sun, Space, Money and Extensions

Well it seems to have been a while since my last blog, so i thought i would write something up quickly about a few things relating to my life at the moment.

As you can see the title says  "Sun, Space, Money and Extensions" and that's pretty much what this blog is going to be about. 

Money

I love this stuff! Well who doesn't? I seem to be a bit obsessed with it at the moment. Money. I just want loads of it! Now that kind of sounds a tad greedy but, i worry. Now at 16 i know you shouldn't have to worry about money. But i do. I don't honestly see how im going to survive when i'm older with how much things cost right now. But i will just have to work that out nearer the time, so Mum, Dad you will just have to put up with me for a while longer! Anyway, i am a big saver. I don't spend money. I want to, i really want to just go and spend it on make up, and clothes, but i rarely do. I'm the kind that like to have money and not spend it. I prefer to spend other peoples money...aka my parents. Well, put it like this, if i need some clothes and they offer to pay, im not exactly going to say "no its fine i will" am i? 


Extensions

Now on to this topic. I really want some hair extensions! Foxy locks extensions. That's what the brand is. Now i have enough money, yet i have not ordered any. Again, this may be because i do not want to spend my money. I have people asking me... "why do you want hair extensions, you have long hair". Well it is just something i want okay? Get over it. I have always always wanted long long hair, and mine isn't exactly short but i want it to be longer. Its not something i would wear everyday. Only to go out. 


Space

What is with boys and space?! Well lets just say i have heard a lot about it recently. i won't say learnt because, well i can't be certain they are right. On the topic of space, i saw my first shooting star on Wednesday! I was so happy when i did! I have always said that when i see my first shooting star i want to be with people who i care about. And amazingly i was! I was at a party, with all my friends and i saw one shoot across the sky! 

Sun

Now, recently in the UK it has been pissing it down. And today arrived a mini heat wave, i'm burnt! My fault though... we have no sun cream, but like hell i was going to stay inside! We never have hot weather here! I'm hoping its a sunny summer, there were rumors of it being the hottest we have ever had, so far that's a disappointment, as we have two months left, and haven't seen much sun.  So i would kindly like to ask the rain clouds to piss off for the next couple of weeks! thanks.....

l'i amis n'oublieront jamais (the friends i will never forget)

So i created this bog account once i had read one of my friends (Dan Cooper's) blogs. I read it and i guess it just kind of inspired me to write my own. (Even if mine are not very good). So earlier on this evening i was thinking about what i should blog about, and in the end i decided that i would do it on my friends. Now that may have seemed like the obvious choice and maybe it is, but that is what im going to write about, my friends.

I have a close group of friends that are well... how do i put this in the kindest way??? Urrm... whats the word ahh yes UNIQUE thats the best way to put it. I guess what i'm trying to say is that we are all so completely different, yet we couldn't be more the same.

In 2003 i moved to Bristol with my family, we opened up a resteraunt there. And so that meant the torture of moving away from what i called Home. But during my two and a half year stay there it wasn't the area that had become a problem, it was the school.

In my first year at East Harptree, everything seemed to go really well, you know i was the typical new kid, everyone was nice to me, wanted to be my friend. But if im honest, i can't remember too much from that period all i can remember was the second year there... i was in year 5.

This was when things started to change, i went away from school for two weeks as i went on holiday to disney land. And when i came back, my best friend hated me. And its all because of this one girl... lets call her laura (i won't use her real name). She had made up a load of crap about me basically an no one liked me, and it wasn't like typical bullying to me. She had made me loose all of my friends. I had no one! I was completely alone. Every lunchtime, i would have to sit on my own...and when your that young its horrible. Laura and her friends... which used to be mine too, would make fun of me, try to ruin my work, tell me i looked funny. It reallly hurt. I found myself hating school, i didn't want to go, i would come off the mini bus after, tears streaming down my face, not being able to bare it anymore.

Eventually, somehow i managed to start talking to some of the year 6's, they were nice to me, i thought i had finally found friends. Untill one day one of them said to me that i was annoying, and they hated me being around them, saying  "just because you don't have any friends your own age, it doesn't mean you can hang around with us". So i was back to square one again. On my own, wishing the days away. Dreading school, dreading life.


In what was going to be my last few months there, i made a nice group of friends. I was so happy. I wasn't having to sit on my own anymore. All of those months of trying to fit in with the younger/older years, and being rejected was over.

It was the last day of school, and for a while now i knew the pub was on the market and that this could quite possibly be my last day there. When the bell rang, i went out to meet my mum, and she was talking to the head teacher. She said to me that we would be moving in three weeks back home. Immediatley i felt upset. Why did this have to happen to me? I had finally found happiness with these friends... and now i was quite possibly going to have to go through all of this again at a new school! The worst thing about leaving that school, is not being able to say goodbye properly to some of the people there. It was so devistating for me.

Back in Somerset, new house, new primary school. As far as i'm concerned, this primary school, was fine, i felt like i bonded with the people better.

A big change for me was going to secondary school, and thats where you guys come in...

Meeting you guys, being friends with you all, its just simply been the best thing to ever happen to me. Especially after everything that happend in Bristol, i didn't know if i could/would make friends again. And i really struck lucky when i met all of you. My life would not be the same if you weren't in it.

Throughout the five years i have known you, (some less) we have been through so much! More than what your average group of friends would i would say. Some situations would probably have been enough to break us, but it hasn't, nothing has, we get through it because we are a team. I know we always joke about being "nerds" or whatever, but whats making us different from other people in our year? We have parties, we drink, we have fun. The thing making us different, is because we aren't idiots about it. We are genuine people and thats what i love.

I could go on and on all night about you guys, but quite frankly i'm getting tired and i still need to do my maths paper! So i'm going to round it off now.

I want to say a huge thank you, thanks for being there, thanks for being you, you are all amazing people who i am so glad to have met. I don't know what i would do without you guys, and after college that really gonna be it for us, we won't see eachother as much. And that for me will be the hardest part. Thank you for being a part of my life, i will never ever forget you.

Rosemary, Sian, Paulian, Morag, Jack, Jacques, Frances, Henry, Thomas, Ross, Charles.

I love you all

Frankie...aka (Emily) xxx
