Its Fright Night!

After spending my life not really interesting in Halloween, despite my love of all things supernatural, it has never been my favourite holiday. I carve a pumpkin on those years when I can handle the smell of the flesh inside as I hollow it out but other than that there isn't a time I have been to a Halloween party or poured fake blood around my mouth. Maybe I am a Halloween Scrooge!
But this year I agreed to spend the night watching scary films and eating far to many sweets. And all was well and good, but now I'm alone in the house and it is all hallows eve in half an hour, I'm feeling a little scared. Ive checked I have locked the door twice and am now snuggled in bed, with all lights in the house on in case of any paranormal activity type scenarios. So maybe I am not such a non believer as I thought. Any advice for a scaredy cat....?
If I make it through the night I will reward myself with a post halloween shopping trip. Perfect. Bring on the day light hours!

Fringe Vs No fringe

The debate of having a fringe (bangs) against the argument for a fringe is something which has been winding me up quite alot recently. I have always had a fringe, either side or full, and then, as summer approached I simply left it to grow, and grow and grow a little more and now I have no fringe whatsoever. My hair dresser keeps asking what exactly it is doing.
She will ask 'Is it a middle parting now?' or 'are we attempting layers around the face?'
My answer to this is always 'I dont know' and I um and ahhh about what to have done while she just trims my ends and yet here I am 6 months later with no change. Not even a slight trim around the face...nothing! 
And this is leaving me with quite a large dilemna! Its amazing how much my hair means to me, and Im sure to most women all over the world, but the fact it is so important to me only makes my final decision harder! Do I have the fringe cut back in?! 
Part of me is screaming 'HAIR GROWS!' but the other part of me is scared for the outcome. You know what I mean, when you have a change and people you barely even know say... 'Oh god dont you look a lot better, I never liked that look on you' or something along them lines, which leaves you questioning your own opinion of yourself. Now I am a firm believer of the old 'who cares' method but I dont want to be walking along and people to think...'what a large forehead..get a fringe'. I mean on the other hand they may be saying 'gosh doesnt she look like Abbey Clancy' now then I would be chuffed and my hair would never again be cut! However untill I actually hear someone give me such a compliment I will have to stick to flipping a coin, or drawing my options from a hat.

Oh the joys of being a woman ;)

Welcome Beth!

I just need to say a big welcome to myself! This is my very first post on this blog (I had another but lost the password etc!) And a big welcome to any followers I may gather along the way.
I ought to start with a little bit about myself really, to keep it simple and all that, I am a 20 year old English student from, slightly, North England. I go to Sheffield Hallam University, so while I am in Sheffield, which is most of the time, I am a rate yorkshire lass! Aha! I enjoy writing, hence the course choice, but also am extremely girly. My best friends sum me up by calling me 'an intellectual barbie' which is sweet, I guess!
I will be blogging about my life and different topics. I feel it is a nice way to get things off ones chest! I do hope you enjoy my rants, moans and slightly amateur blogging.
