CHoPstick STYLER by Lee Stafford Review

I bought this hair curler a few weeks back for £19.99 from Argos in my town centre. I searched for it online and found it for around £25 on the Asda website and between £40-£60 on amazon and other online shops. I'd heard a lot of good things about this curler already before I purchased it but for such a low price I was concerned as to how 'good' it really was. 

Feautures : Fast heat up & high temp of 200•c 

Ractangular tong for creating kinky curls

Switch & LED light to indicate on & off

Ceramic coated tong for healthy & silky hair

Swivel cord for easy use and hanging loop

Protecting Cool tip & safety stand

How easy it is to use: I literally plugged it in, switched it on and combed out the clean dry hair I was about to curl. 

By the time I was finished combing, the curler was hot and ready to use. I held the curler at the top of the section of hair and began to wrap the hair around by the time I got to the ends of the hair I could already the see the curl was ready & to unravel the tong. I was so shocked how quick this worked due to how small the barrel was and I was using quite big sections of hair. 

So easy and fast and so cheap!! 

Here's some pictures of the hair I curled.

Here are some pictures of a friends hair I did with the CHoPstick STYLER

 

I really love how tight these curls are! They are the closest to rags iv ever gotten from a tong/wand. 

Once again good old lee Stafford has not let me down!! I love his products and his electricals seem to follow suit! I also have his hair straighteners I am equally pleased with. 

College Prep- WARNING THIS IS A LALALALALONG POST!

Ok so if you've read my info you'll see that as a career i want to do hairdressing. Last year i applied for the introduction to hairdressing and got knocked back for applying too late so that was a whole year wasted i suppose it gave me more time with the baby though so its not so bad. Anyway i applied again this year like really early in march or something. And got invited for an interview in june/july there were soooo many people there! Apparently 63 people had been invited for the interview process and only 18 places were available.. Eek!! (safe to say i pooed my pants when i heard that)
The first stage of the interview was a skills test wich was to put rollers in a manicans hair. I rocked it btw :D i got 1s in all the areas that gave me the boost i needed. :)
Then stage 2 was a written part wich was similar to filling out a job application i pretty much filled the box for every question and spilled over on some. So that went pretty well too.
Finally stage three was The Interview, It took forever for the tutors to get through so many applicants but 3rd to last i was interviewed. We talked about why i wanted to do hairdressing, if there was anyone who was pushing me towards it, what i can bring to the college etc just like a job interview but for college. I basically just said ive always had an interest in hairdressing i want to go on to own my own chain of salons and my own products. Ive applied before and will keep applying until im accepted and that im mainly doing it because its my dream but also so i can give my children the life i want to and im not going to sit around and wait for someone to hand it to me.
So that was pretty much the interview proccess done and then it was just a case of waiting to see if i got in. I was waiting for a couple of weeks and just thought i havnt got it there were so many applicants ive got no chance... A letter came from the college saying that they would like to offer me a place and i literally started jumping and singing mummys goin to coll-ege mummys goin to coll-ege na na na na Hay! Then connor joined in and it was a joyus moment to say the least!! :)
The next step was to reply to say if i accepted the place or not. So i signed in all the right places and hand delivered it so i knew it wouldnt get lost in the post. I didnt hear anything for a while and started to worry it was lost in the college but a quick phone call to the college set me straight. shortly after i recieved a letter for my induction date for september and the information to buy my kit and uniform. The kit costs around £113  & the uniform £44. Thats alot of money in my book but as my sister said its an investment in my future so i bought my kit wich will be delivered to the college and some extra clips and a brush set.

Cause theyre pink!! :D i also got myself some shoes from asda and have yet to buy my uniform but should be able to order that this week. I am soooooooo freaking excited the first step into my dreams has begun!!

Heres a picture of my brushes, clips and shoes will be sure to update when i get my hands on that kit and uniform :D eeeeeek :)

Have you started any prep for college or a new job?

Tell me about it in the comments id love to hear whats going on in your new academic year :)

Home Alone... Day 2 Sainsburys Online Shopping

DAY 2 in the big Mother house: - Hana is blogging!

Not much happened today rearranged the living room so now its impossible to watch tv comfortably... damn you crazy layout!! Tidied up abit and waited for my dad to come round as hes up visiting from DAT london. Went for a walk through the park (Birkenhead) which by the way is what central park in america is inspired by... so there ya go now Birkneheads not all bad :)

After my walk i came home and awaited the arrival of my sainsburys shopping... Never shopped online with them before but i was rather impressed. After a trip to london last week i received a voucher for £15 off my first £60 shop so i thought why not give it a go. Not only did it arrive in the first 10 minutes of the time slot (maybe even sooner) the man who delivered recognised it was my first time shopping with them and explained how it works before he got me my shopping he showed me my substitutions explained where my shopping had come from and that if i wasnt happy with anything just to give them a call after he had made sure i was happy with everything at the door.

There were a few things i noticed asda do better, like when they give you a substitute they give you whatever it is for the same price and they're delivery is generally cheaper. That being said Asda take alot longer to deliver within the timeslot most of the time turning up closest to the end of the timeslot. And i definatly would say sainsburys has a higher quality of food. The ordering of the food was pretty easy too. Different to Asda and Tesco but still easy to use. Over all i was pleased with the service and will probably shop online there again soon.
