A creation shot in under 90 minutes or so.

Does anyone ever watch a film and ultimately feel cheated out of last 10 minutes as the story line didn't go as you imagined? Well...if you don't then you're either not really watching the film or you're just plain boring.

See, I'm one of those people that become attached to the characters in both films and novels and I find it difficult to grasp a bad ending to either of them. It genuinely frustrates me to the point where I lose faith (in this case the author) in anything they yet to write. 

I just recently subscribed to another free trial from Netflix which is great for me as I never really get the time to a) go to the cinema to see films b) watch TV and c) find time to just sit down and do anything bar sleep/college/work. Yet as I have two weeks or so off from college, it's nice to just watch the occasional film that will help me sleep. So anyways, scrolling across Netflix's menu bar I came across a film called Like Crazy directed by Drake Doremus. 

At first I thought it would be one of those typical romantic dramas where they stereotypically fall in love and then one drama and boom, they're back together again.... Funnily enough, it was more or less like that. It starts off with minor detail about the characters, Anna was an exchange student from England and Jacob,  a local young man who met as they were both studying in Los Angelese. The story continued with them both becoming so in love with each other that when Anna's visa ran out, she decided to stay in the country unlawfully. Eventually, she had to return back to England for some distant relatives wedding ( as us British do) to then not be allowed back into LA due to the fact she breached the regulations the last time she was there. Yaddagh yaddagh yaaarh... The story then drabs onto the pairs emotional distress without each other and their flings with other people. 

.... I feel like I'm ruining the film

However, despite the conventional plot it was a good film minus the last 10 minutes of it which I wish happened differently. In my opinion, it was just silly and I can't think of a better word to describe it. It was just pathetic. After everything, they still drop everything for each other?! ITS NOT HOW IT SHOULD HAVE ENDED.

Don't get me wrong, I love a film with a happy ending but I think Like Crazy needed a twist in the ending to make it memorable. If you haven't watched it then I suggest you do and maybe, just maybe you feel the same as I did with the ending. 

Ginger is a way of life

So once again I've dyed my hair... I've become an addict when it comes to hair colouring as well as styling etc Yet, after cutting most of it off due to damage from heat styling products as well as a dodgy perm I'm finally taking care of it. 

Up to now, I've been pretty good with my 'no hair dye' ban but when it comes to ginger tones, I just couldn't resist. 

Whilst shopping I came across this gem which appears to be a new range from L'Oreal called Prodigy. 

As you can see the colours looks beautiful and I couldn't help myself. It claims to be ammonia free and uses micro oils in order to make such natural looking colour. 

It's pretty easy to apply like most hair colourants it comes all bottled up with instructions to which bottle needs to be poured into the other.... 

Whilst applying the colour, I was a little nervous for the outcome as in the bottle it was a salmon colour. I still ventured on praying for the best and I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome. 

My hair before the colour was quite dark with hints of reds at the tips but the product has lightened it all to practically the colour on the box. I'm extremely impressed. 

It has also blended well with my natural hair colour (I have an undercut style) pretty well and makes it look like a professional job. My hair is super soft and doesn't feel damaged by the dye whatsoever! There's lots of tones that you wouldn't expect from a box dye but I would definitely recommend the product and 100% would use it again.
