The Harry Potter Tag

So, i stole this from my sister, well the questions and the picture. Of course the answers are my own  :)

1. What is your favourite book?
This would be a toss up between Order of The Phoenix (ootp) , Prisoner of Askaban (poa) and Deathly Hallows (dh) I find it really hard to choose. I loved the introduction of Sirius and learning about the Maurauders, But i loved the drama and excitement of Ootp and well, DH is the end!!! It was amazing.

2. What is your favourite film?
Omg, exactly the same 3 as above. POA was amazing at the time. (i love hermione punching Draco) I always feel emotional watching Ootp ( sirius dies and omg i love the end when its dumbledore, voldy and harry at the ministry) and Deathly Hallows made me sob my heart out when Harry learned he needed to die and he said bye to Ron and Hermione!

3. What is your least favourite book?
Chamber of Secrets (cos) as the second book it doesn't really give anything away and it lost it's magic appeal that the first book had. Saying that it is essential to the plot and a must read. You really cant skip any books.

4. What is your least favourite film?
Chamber of secrets again. Acting was dubius and It's just not as appealing as the others.

5. What parts of the books/films made you cry?
Sirius dying, Dobby dying, Finding out Snape's love of Lily and him dying. Harry walking into the forest to die.

6. If you could hook up with any character who would it be?  

um, I have no idea. 

7. Who is your favourite character?
Hermione i think, I also like Lupin and Harry.

8. Who is your least favourite character?
Ron, I just cant bring myself to love him. I don't dislike him but i don't love him. I am a secret Hermione/Harry shipper (dont shoot me!) 

9. What is your least favourite line?
Odd question, i dont have one i dont think.

10. What would your patronus be?
I'd like it to be a meerkat! Hehe, but it would be some sort of cat. Or maybe a bird!

11. If you could have the resurrection stone, invisibility cloak or elder wand which would you chose?
Definately the Cloak! I cant think of anything better.

12. Which house would you be in?
Gryffindor, only because i have done those sorting quizzes and it always puts me here! I'm not clever enough for Ravenclaw, or bad ass enough for Slytherin and i don't want to be a Hufflepuff.

13. If you could meet any member of the cast who would it be?
Gary oldman and Jason Isaacs <3

14. If you were on the Quidditch team which position would you play?
Seeker, i have good eyes!

15. Were you happy with the ending?
Yes, People were killed so JK wasnt too soft, and good always beats evil!

16. How much does Harry Potter mean to you?
The World, it got me hooked on reading again (although ive always loved reading) and i live in my own little fantasy world anyway but it is just the best series and nothing has beaten it yet.

I tag YOU!

Going Blonde to Brunette!

It's hard work being blonde. Fact!

It's hard on the bank balance, the hair/scalp, and if you have my matchy matchy ocd it's hard to co-ordinate your clothing!

I decided to go back to brunette mostly because i was having problems getting a consistant blonde in my hair. It ended up being the perfect blonde on the ends but yellowy and orange at my roots and if i over-toned it, it would end up slightly  blue. NIGHTMARE.

I'll be honest i loved being blonde as i do think they have more fun, you get more glances and looks etc. But it wasn't worth loosing my hair for. Snapping hair is my biggest bug bear. My hair is so short and unhealthy now.

It's constantly changing different shades of brown/mahogany at the moment as i am using semi-perm dyes so as not to damage my hair further. the picture to the right was when i first did it and i popped in soem extensions, they dont match in real life though.

If your looking to go from Blonde to Brunette yourself just remember these rules:

1. Put a red dye on first (if you skip this step you will get green hair!) I used Loreal Preference 6.66 Babylon.
2. Then pick a nice chocolate brown, you want to avoid ashy browns (iced browns) as it will only encourage a dark green colour. I did this the day after i put the red on and used 5.3 Virginia (chestnut brown)
3. Use leave in conditioners/serums. I have been using the Pantene Expert Keratin Repair serum (pictured), i usually put it on my hair (not my roots though) after I've towel dried it.
4. I have been told not to straighten my hair. I ignore this but i should put it in.
5. Try to leave at least 2 weeks before putting more dyes on. 

Number 5 is hard, i mean after my initial dyes to get it to brown, it washed out so quick. To a light brown, which was actually a nice colour but obviously i was itching to get it to chocolate brown. I waited two weeks then put a semi permanent on. Which was yesterday and i chose Chocolate Brownie by Loreal Casting Creme Gloss. It lasts 26 washes. It oly coats the hair rather than penetrate it so hopefully it will not damage it. My skin tone looks so muc better with brown hair. The only thing is, i don't want to go too dark. Last time it was so so dark brown that i looked too pale.

Hope you find this helpful.
