Hairspray Recommendation!
Unpacking all of my makeup, jewellery and hair stuff from last weekend's competition, I realised that I had written a blog about makeup, one about the competition etc, but nothing about my hair. I have in the past been known to cover my hair in all kinds of gels, gel spray, oils, tons and tons … Continue reading Hairspray Recommendation!
Ballroom Dance Competition Makeup
I've mentioned in a blog previously that just one element of dancing is looking the part. The tan, the dresses, the shoes, the hair, the bling, the makeup!! The makeup that I have used over the years for dancing has changed as I have learned what I like and don't like, what didn't look good … Continue reading Ballroom Dance Competition Makeup
ISTD National Grand Finals!
What a day! A very long and tiring day but nothing compares to it! The mere chance of dancing in such an elegant ballroom proves to me I have the best hobby!

All that glitters……
If it sparkles, I want it.....if it doesn't sparkle, I want it anyway and I'll make it sparkle! Since I started dancing, my husband says I've turned into a Magpie! (Just to clarify....I've not grown wings and a beak and started to fly......just the attraction to shiny things!!) One of the things I love … Continue reading All that glitters……
