Motivational Monday #21

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Merry Monday one and all. Not only is it the start of a new week but the start of a new month, so an even bigger leaf to turn over and an even bigger fresh start. Let July be your month! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaUJc_K6jeYdxbsyGKpPZOk9KjzR25ac7XBdFiPVwILt3eNoY9TzzNKDoVcqqP07KqFyRsfkSx6whNqfH78UNJyxAS3HXqEGM_KpQLm-LN49KNRdsbytJFn-as0auDNDSwNYNl3VS3yrnC/s1600/mm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Motivational-Quote" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaUJc_K6jeYdxbsyGKpPZOk9KjzR25ac7XBdFiPVwILt3eNoY9TzzNKDoVcqqP07KqFyRsfkSx6whNqfH78UNJyxAS3HXqEGM_KpQLm-LN49KNRdsbytJFn-as0auDNDSwNYNl3VS3yrnC/s640/mm.jpg" title="Motivational-Quote" width="496" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Today's quote is one I have seen floating about but decided to create in my own font because I like pretty. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">More and more this year I have been working on my grace. By this is don't mean walking like a princess and sipping tea with my pinkie out (neither of which I excel at) but acting with dignity and decorum.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When I'm in a bad mood, something doesn't go my way or I feel slighted, I have been saying in my head, 'be gracious, be gracious', and by jove it's worked! I find myself squashing down the rising heat of anger or annoyance and feeling a sense of calm and control. Controlling emotions is a big thing for me. I'm easily happy but quick to anger if someone presses the right buttons so being gracious has been a good challenge. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have found it has benefited me in many ways. First and formost I'm wasting a lot less energy on negative emotions. Secondly, I am being a better friend. Rather than being bitter or jealous, I am being gracious and happy for other people's achievements, experiences and progression. I am able to rejoice in their happiness with grace and this makes a big difference to how you behave in the relationship. I have found myself being a lot less selfish with time and resources because I am happy to give more. It's amazing really. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It took a good few months and I have to work on it every day but I have really noticed differences in my general happiness levels by having good grace about things. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next time you feel yourself getting wound up by a colleague, parent, partner or teacher, quietly say to yourself, 'How graceful can I be about this?' and you will be pleasantly surprised by the difference it can make to a situation. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What do you think? Something worth trying? Have you found it has good results to practise good grace? Leave a comment and join the community. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/motivational-monday-20.html" target="_blank">Last Week's Motivational Monday</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://twitter.com/Sprinkleofglitr" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Twitter</a> | <a href="http://www.youtube.com/sprinkleofglitter" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">YouTube</a> | <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sprinkleofglitter?ref=hl" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="http://pinterest.com/babyglitter/" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> | <a href="http://www.hellocotton.com/mypage/sprinkle-of-glitter" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Hello Cotton</a> | <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/1918059/sprinkle-of-glitter" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Bloglovin'</a></div></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">Toodlepip!</div></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">xx</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">This month my Ultimate Advertiser is <a href="http://itsablondeslife7.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">It's A Blondes Life</a><a href="http://kittenishbehaviour.com/store/index.php?route=common/home" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">.</a> If you would like to find out more about advertising on this blog, click <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/p/sponsor.html" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><br style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><i>This page contains links to outside sites, including affiliates.

30 Day Snap #30 - COMPLETION

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Today is the last of the 30 Day Snap and I have mixed emotions. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'll miss reading all your comments and stalking through (don't lie, you do it too) everyone else's entries but I must say, I'm looking forward to having a little break. Not a proper one, I'll still be posting everyday, but only once, not twice.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi41DCfPO4KqUf_lEgzgxPlKhRG7uz2aIZdMlGSpFiJ6mnAGoYI_GdcpeOdxWIHVtt5AttXwp8ErWRq7jXi-yEZE_OlVZgC980GtXpDCruqfRwmHaJmmxKSYhbCNzit0qskfxj7y8pQwLVl/s1600/30+Day+Snap+END.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi41DCfPO4KqUf_lEgzgxPlKhRG7uz2aIZdMlGSpFiJ6mnAGoYI_GdcpeOdxWIHVtt5AttXwp8ErWRq7jXi-yEZE_OlVZgC980GtXpDCruqfRwmHaJmmxKSYhbCNzit0qskfxj7y8pQwLVl/s640/30+Day+Snap+END.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><h3>What have I learnt from the 30 Day Snap?</h3><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Well, I've learnt that it was a much bigger challenge than I thought it would be. Remembering to take my cameras places and actually taking a snap of something worthwhile, editing, uploading, and publishing was a bigger job than I anticipated. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I didn't evolve my photography skills like I thought I would. I was so focused on taking a snap of something that represented my day that I stayed in my 'safe zone'. I will find new ways to improve my skills. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This community IS a community. By doing this challenge and seeing who else is taking part, I have found a much bigger network of inspirational women and made new friends. That alone was makes it worthwhile. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">That I really do heart the small things. I've said it before but this challenge has only confirmed it. I had big days in London, went to parties, hosted parties, took road trips and saw a lorra lorra friends but I chose to focus on the ordinary and 'mundane' little bits of life. It's those things that I like to see of other people's and they are the aspects that I cherish most. To me, wandering down to the corner shop to buy sweets with Darcy is no less of an event than going to Google HQ to party in the YouTube space- both of which I have done in the last 4 weeks. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Most of all I have learnt that Life. Is. Good. I have easily found something happy to photograph each day and I have been blessed with big ol' heap of brilliant memories. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Did you take part in the 30 Day Snap? Whether you did it for a day or you managed the whole 30, let me know below. If you didn't, what have you enjoyed about this challenge? Or will you be glad to see the back of it haha?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Let's chat in the comments!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">To find new ways to stalk me or learn about my discloser policy, click <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/p/want-more-glitter.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. </span></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Ultimate Advertiser - <a href="http://itsablondeslife7.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">It's A Blondes Life</a><a href="http://kittenishbehaviour.com/store/index.php?route=common/home" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">.</a> Click <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/p/sponsor.html" rel="nofollow" sl-processed="1" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">HERE</a> for more info. </span></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">Toodlepip!</div></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">xx</div></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It's Friday, which means Great Big Lifestyle post. Hurrah!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Last week Matt and I visited some old friends in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_Harborough" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Market Harborough</a> who I hadn't seen since my school days. I talked more about that <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/30-day-snap-16-marrieds.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. I knew I wanted to take snaps but thought I would see if my little compact point and shoot camera would be up to the job of Friday Lifestyle standard photographs. It turns out, it wasn't. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I carried on regardless and tried to make the best of a grey day with a camera not up to the job I wanted it to do, but ultimately I regretted not taking my big girl Canon 600D with me. It's big and heavy but it really does have much better results. You live and learn I guess. I'm looking into buying a pancake lens so that it's that little bit less chunky to tote about so I'll update you on that if it happens.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Pity party over, let's crack on with the visuals. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Market Harbourough is a lovely little village packed with charity, second hand book and arty shops. I'm an absolute sucker for vintage books and am growing quite the collection for Baby Glitter's nursery. I look forward to doing a tour of that soon for my YouTube Channel!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'd love to say this was a perfect, wonderful, everybody smiling morning but it just wasn't. Darcy waved her brushes (latest obsession) round like crazy and hit her own face twice, the weather was a bit grim and really, we wanted to get home and retreat a little. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I toyed with the idea of painting this lifestyle post as a magical experience but then that's not really lifestyle is it? Sometimes life is sparkles and butterflies and sometimes it just is grey weather and squarky kiddies. That's alright.

Beauty Review | La Petite Robe Noire Eau De Toilette by Guerlain

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Do you remember back in May when I talked about <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/guerlain-terracotta-light-sheer.html" target="_blank">these beautiful Guerlain products</a>? I said that I would be sure to review more of them as and when I had given them a fair trial and now is that time. Hurrah for standing by promises. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Q11wYvVCmf3xRFnE-v7wl8y2jwEPeDaIe70fd5tL024SR2tVZ8m4NCtLA9zCPQ0n6irgoKLB-noNHifEMVoId89YdByFHgQtNwO1p4v2jImNBHmPvRW1p5V119r1dxQ0sWbOAu9OgwC5/s1600/perfume+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Beauty Review | La Petite Robe Noire Eau De Toilette by Guerlain" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Q11wYvVCmf3xRFnE-v7wl8y2jwEPeDaIe70fd5tL024SR2tVZ8m4NCtLA9zCPQ0n6irgoKLB-noNHifEMVoId89YdByFHgQtNwO1p4v2jImNBHmPvRW1p5V119r1dxQ0sWbOAu9OgwC5/s640/perfume+2.jpg" title="Beauty Review | La Petite Robe Noire Eau De Toilette by Guerlain" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV7Y-kaNk6MwwWJGsvvOQLy9DRaBuJSsIa3V81lIH243Egp14L3XWBPyaeU4QP1J6BJleU_c2oS_ayhrD2visRO1U_O9GYAlwiPGEDCKvoP2odfCSxm8V9chHJIAlHl3wrwcCz33jnWNEe/s1600/perfume.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Beauty Review | La Petite Robe Noire Eau De Toilette by Guerlain" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV7Y-kaNk6MwwWJGsvvOQLy9DRaBuJSsIa3V81lIH243Egp14L3XWBPyaeU4QP1J6BJleU_c2oS_ayhrD2visRO1U_O9GYAlwiPGEDCKvoP2odfCSxm8V9chHJIAlHl3wrwcCz33jnWNEe/s640/perfume.jpg" title="Beauty Review | La Petite Robe Noire Eau De Toilette by Guerlain" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For the last few weeks I have pushed my other fragrances to one side and have been focusing my efforts on the Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Eau de Toilette and have been thoroughly enjoying it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Today I sat down to do some research to see what precisely the scents are within it and what key notes I should tell you about. On visiting the <a href="http://www.guerlain.com/int/en/base.html#/en/home-parfum/catalogue-parfums/women-fragrances/la-petite-robe-noire-2/untitled-720.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">official Guerlain site</a> I found that the fragrance was described as 'floral' and on visiting <a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/guerlain-la-petite-robe-noire-eau-de-toilette/p396263" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">John Lewis</a>, I learnt that the fragrance was 'fruity'. Quite a difference and quite unhelpful. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Fortunately <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Guerlain-La-Petite-Robe-Noire-Eau-de-Toilette-50ml_1300844/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Boots</a> came up trumps and told me that this perfume has notes of roses, jasmine, orange blossom, white amber, cherry, blackcurrant and apple. With a mixture of floral and fruit, I can see where Guerlain and John Lewis were heading. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If I were to describe this myself, I probably wouldn't clearly identify the ingredients (who really does say, 'Mmmm smells just like white amber to me!'??) but I would agree with the fruity-floral hybrid. I find the scent to be elegant, initially fruity and over time fading to floral, not girlish but not something your mother/aunt would wear. Essentially, I would say this scent is perfect for the 20something girl on the go who wants a perfume that will last all day and say, 'I'm a sweet, pretty smelling human, but I'm not a ditz, I know what I'm about'. Yes, fragrances talk now. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ranging from £36-£70 depending on size (30ml-£36, 50ml-£50, 100ml-£70) this is not a 'high street' fragrance but I believe it's worth the cost for the quality you are given. I would say this is something you would treat yourself to if you were celebrating (I'm always celebrating things haha) or would make a really lovely present for a friend or relative. I'm actually going to put this on my list for 'Gifts to give the girls when their birthday's come round'. No frantically searching round shopping centres for me!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Aside from the fact that this perfume is an absolute delight to look at (shell pink liquid in the gorgeous dainty bottle seriously floats my boat) and wear, I had another reason to be so excited to use a Guerlain scent. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>An exciting story. </b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My Grandma Peggy is in her mid 80's now and grew up in London during the WW2 blitz. She worked as a office girl in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitehall" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Whitehall</a> where she did war administration and paperwork in the Department of Air Ministry. She says she was about 19 at the time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">One day a handsome Air Commander and two Squadron Leaders were seconded to her office. One of them, Stan Hope Joel, was a millionaire and on one of his tour of duty trips to France, he visited Paris and bought my Grandma a huge bottle of Guerlain perfume and smuggled it back to London for her. I'm told it was called 'Liu'. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Baring in mind this was the blitz and everything from sugar to hem lines was rationed, this would have been an absolutely amazing treat. Grandma says she kept the bottle for years and when Grandad feels up to it he'll have a look and see if it's still in the attic.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I know everyone does, but I love my Grandma so much. I wish she would agree to appear on camera!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I don't know about you but I thought that story was so wonderful it couldn't not be shared. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As always, what do you think? I would love to see discussions in the comments about whether £36-£70 is a lot for perfume, what you are coveting at the moment and if you have any amazing family stories about beauty products like mine? I'm really lucky on this blog that you are all so active in the comments so I look forward to chatting with you. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://twitter.com/Sprinkleofglitr" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Twitter</a> | <a href="http://www.youtube.com/sprinkleofglitter" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">YouTube</a> | <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sprinkleofglitter?ref=hl" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="http://pinterest.com/babyglitter/" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> | <a href="http://www.hellocotton.com/mypage/sprinkle-of-glitter" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Hello Cotton</a> | <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/1918059/sprinkle-of-glitter" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Bloglovin'</a></div></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">Toodlepip!</div></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">xx</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">This month my Ultimate Advertiser is <a href="http://itsablondeslife7.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">It's A Blondes Life</a><a href="http://kittenishbehaviour.com/store/index.php?route=common/home" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">.</a> If you would like to find out more about advertising on this blog, click <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/p/sponsor.html" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;" /></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 18px;"><a href="https://twitter.com/Sprinkleofglitr" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"></a></span><br style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><i>This page contains links to outside sites, including affiliates.

1 Minute Hair Style - Easy Messy Bun

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">As any of you who have eyes will have noticed, this Spring I began my transformation from ombred brunette to blondey blonde blonde. It took a few salon trips to achieve the exact hue that I was after but once it was set, I was happy as a little blonde clam.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The important part now is caring for my hair to ensure it stays it's best for longest.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">When <a href="http://www.pantene.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pantene Pro-V</a> contacted me and asked if I would like to try their 1 Minute Wonder Ampoules and a few of their other styling kit products from their strength and shine collection, I was keen to see what they could do. The ampoules contain the highest concentration of conditioning actives that promise to leave your hair even stronger against styling damage than before it was dyed- a winner in my books! Easy to use, all you need to do is snap the seal of the ampoule (seriously satisfying), squidge out the conditioner onto freshly washed hair from root to tip, leave on for 1 minute, rinse off and voila- super nourished golden locks of joy.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHqsbGOMbtSysczcm55t-mgktU8rOLH7vmDNC8IVD2zz9jQ3HrS6t_uKmLc3kNfLRSdl_Kmv2rgo4oNrQbvT2oXUwrhjoQ6K5CuDJ-QEUECQQZ0hs5xF9qxwYga7gxSM7TpG7f01px30TO/s1600/hairoriginal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="1 Minute Hair Style " border="0" height="416" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHqsbGOMbtSysczcm55t-mgktU8rOLH7vmDNC8IVD2zz9jQ3HrS6t_uKmLc3kNfLRSdl_Kmv2rgo4oNrQbvT2oXUwrhjoQ6K5CuDJ-QEUECQQZ0hs5xF9qxwYga7gxSM7TpG7f01px30TO/s640/hairoriginal.jpg" title="1 Minute Hair Style " width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Something that nourishes this well is highly welcomed by me, since we all know that after a few rounds of bleach, hair can be pretty thirsty.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">To celebrate my newly strengthened hair, Pantene asked if I could demonstrate a one minute style and share it with the lovelies that read this blog. Since I so rarely do hair posts (I think I've done about 3 in 4 years haha), I thought it might be nice and that you might enjoy a change- they say change is as good as a holiday after all!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6yBQ69j_hmstoq91TMg9NKxVMP4tMFM4Rs7mdA_-lviAl8MJ1sDdlHO9NZin4KD93b7zLcMF-SMRG3y0ZSTrUV36dL8BHbIPGlqZa4BtqqclQDATTYeLoNZPyFByrMlIOSicNndHak-Ee/s1600/hair1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="1 Minute Hair Style " border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6yBQ69j_hmstoq91TMg9NKxVMP4tMFM4Rs7mdA_-lviAl8MJ1sDdlHO9NZin4KD93b7zLcMF-SMRG3y0ZSTrUV36dL8BHbIPGlqZa4BtqqclQDATTYeLoNZPyFByrMlIOSicNndHak-Ee/s640/hair1.jpg" title="1 Minute Hair Style " width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5-eaAzZOLI0f60qNslgTu8VT_rgleMHEMxNNidm-fxf594mgxi4YmVg1Mn-Qzm6n6X9K7XDf1kl74Qre6cGSn6BUNWuxsfTrmz0VghBwUvgEOSHfNbVoieOUsrY3egk-NG5Qvs1RZAD1r/s1600/Hair2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="1 Minute Hair Style " border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5-eaAzZOLI0f60qNslgTu8VT_rgleMHEMxNNidm-fxf594mgxi4YmVg1Mn-Qzm6n6X9K7XDf1kl74Qre6cGSn6BUNWuxsfTrmz0VghBwUvgEOSHfNbVoieOUsrY3egk-NG5Qvs1RZAD1r/s640/Hair2.jpg" title="1 Minute Hair Style " width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I decided to use a little Pantene Shine Serum to give my hair a bit of pep and gloss. It applied smoothly and evenly and left a lovely sheen to my ever so slightly lacklustre hair (thank you mr blowdryer). I love that this was so quick to use and really was a matter of put-on-hand-put-on-hair. Nourishing and perfect for quickie quick styles.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjapwHUsDPGNRLLBa3uF_Jo0TO6jK4b3IxsAa74Mdzd_GcGomaNvZqnoTcSxaWUf5quyC-nMynohXBq-zUzRnk36BS0vWknGBhb8Z3S-p_atPg3O1g2MnH5cbEvF3dGCFmyegLFZJ8iOU4Q/s1600/hair5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="1 Minute Hair Style " border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjapwHUsDPGNRLLBa3uF_Jo0TO6jK4b3IxsAa74Mdzd_GcGomaNvZqnoTcSxaWUf5quyC-nMynohXBq-zUzRnk36BS0vWknGBhb8Z3S-p_atPg3O1g2MnH5cbEvF3dGCFmyegLFZJ8iOU4Q/s640/hair5.jpg" title="1 Minute Hair Style " width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8k2Qs9xy0hTN0dTvzAqnKhOEX_xdIlkVFosjRPnON3smmH4LjC8tSAIL_1L8MTAIIxdGn5ZG7RM_mOFzsuhDOQQy2hxqZ9AP4eulkaxAUyWVs0acXFrFZTZ8uSmO4IVyAmeVoPnFSiskv/s1600/hair7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="1 Minute Hair Style " border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8k2Qs9xy0hTN0dTvzAqnKhOEX_xdIlkVFosjRPnON3smmH4LjC8tSAIL_1L8MTAIIxdGn5ZG7RM_mOFzsuhDOQQy2hxqZ9AP4eulkaxAUyWVs0acXFrFZTZ8uSmO4IVyAmeVoPnFSiskv/s640/hair7.jpg" title="1 Minute Hair Style " width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Using a hair bobble/hairband matching your hair colour, tie a pony tail. Wrap the pony tail round it self to make a bun and secure with another bobble/hairband. Leave a section free at the front. This will give you something to frame your face with in the next step.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ_hNY6Ftps4Mf7JXPiW_7sOyU4qtfRayuiGZWtYVdxVMAuW2a9gD8rqt6s5SCkeg7CedkxLbE91VUyqEumuTYE7D2vONM3FD_Ynt0Sli9D2yNhSn4en075yacd9L_Mzu6NpLX9p-yPQm1/s1600/Hairbun.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="1 Minute Hair Style " border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ_hNY6Ftps4Mf7JXPiW_7sOyU4qtfRayuiGZWtYVdxVMAuW2a9gD8rqt6s5SCkeg7CedkxLbE91VUyqEumuTYE7D2vONM3FD_Ynt0Sli9D2yNhSn4en075yacd9L_Mzu6NpLX9p-yPQm1/s640/Hairbun.jpg" title="1 Minute Hair Style " width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Pull and tweak your bun to give it that 'messy' vibe and use kirby grips/bobby pins to secure it in place. I also pulled a few strands out round my face and pinned my fringe/bangs to the side. You can pin in whatever way you think suits you. You can also use hot styling tools (wands/irons) on the pulled out bits if you feel they need it. This is a very flexible style. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFgEWVK-5splYhXryqDmFC8wnbdUYFecsWT02mVNWF3FAB-OEY9NPFgjzXZzFVsdnjEi2iSoOjrhfrFkzCIbar6PHXP4dN-bwe_CEYZcR_h90I0lfzXu7h2shFWhF-v5fdEBFGSUESaDh-/s1600/hair8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="1 Minute Hair Style " border="0" height="406" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFgEWVK-5splYhXryqDmFC8wnbdUYFecsWT02mVNWF3FAB-OEY9NPFgjzXZzFVsdnjEi2iSoOjrhfrFkzCIbar6PHXP4dN-bwe_CEYZcR_h90I0lfzXu7h2shFWhF-v5fdEBFGSUESaDh-/s640/hair8.jpg" title="1 Minute Hair Style " width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8G662vR3LQce68iXKZ6jur95oTGoCTkqJb4PIquIcXJUC5yDUo9VECecN_EhC5WmrL_drORc38tJYH7pNWhK_CKxOzO0MWkM4-Q7Sg1HMd15Y4wFqFA1SEmBzII6WYZX_ikIrFhdpsG-t/s1600/hair9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="1 Minute Hair Style " border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8G662vR3LQce68iXKZ6jur95oTGoCTkqJb4PIquIcXJUC5yDUo9VECecN_EhC5WmrL_drORc38tJYH7pNWhK_CKxOzO0MWkM4-Q7Sg1HMd15Y4wFqFA1SEmBzII6WYZX_ikIrFhdpsG-t/s640/hair9.jpg" title="1 Minute Hair Style " width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYzEZ4u6LC7CoR_zLP0J6lKqFZyA5jrNFXhsRh2Gdw7uE9NagpNxX5z68F-rrP3oZcbSfCf-ar1j5vAceBpZPQf79uAlbUVQEDD4CgcdcE5wvXImC1mworzo47Jb6Uq0bdzdXG3CHfiwFs/s1600/hair10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="1 Minute Hair Style " border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYzEZ4u6LC7CoR_zLP0J6lKqFZyA5jrNFXhsRh2Gdw7uE9NagpNxX5z68F-rrP3oZcbSfCf-ar1j5vAceBpZPQf79uAlbUVQEDD4CgcdcE5wvXImC1mworzo47Jb6Uq0bdzdXG3CHfiwFs/s640/hair10.jpg" title="1 Minute Hair Style " width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">To ensure it would be secure for the day I spritzed on Pantene Style and Protect Hairspray. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSoKdXoVyzM3LgSgGbJGgRdU-pKbiUxmCbzYTXa90bUu-QqlZtNy-zNRJXQ9R4LCCac4vbE_4Z4JTgzYxfF1Rwofk-jv9W17QTcc3y1Blne07vKbGmethOZsc-tuQJI4jeLqMVe-6NzqCe/s1600/hair+final.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="1 Minute Hair Style " border="0" height="620" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSoKdXoVyzM3LgSgGbJGgRdU-pKbiUxmCbzYTXa90bUu-QqlZtNy-zNRJXQ9R4LCCac4vbE_4Z4JTgzYxfF1Rwofk-jv9W17QTcc3y1Blne07vKbGmethOZsc-tuQJI4jeLqMVe-6NzqCe/s640/hair+final.jpg" title="1 Minute Hair Style " width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Tada!!

This was me writing my Amazing Advertisers post yesterday, with no bottoms on (it was early) and a bed-head PJ clad baba playing next to me. This is pretty much what every single morning of my life looks like and I love it. </span></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;">In other news, as you may have guessed from the potty, we are introducing Darcy to the concept of using it. Thus far she isn't keen so I thought if I kept it in sight it would make the idea less shocking for her. Essentially, this morning my lounge was an office, toilet and playroom.

It makes me want to shout at the screen.
