How to Clean your Tangle Teezer

If I haven't mentioned this before, then I have to now...

I LOVE TANGLE TEEZERS SO MUCH. They have changed my life so much and I have never heard a bad review about them. To buy one go to their website by clicking here.

The only problem is that over time, a lot of hair builds up in your Tangle Teezer. So I did some research and I found a way to clean out your Tangle Teezer.

I found it on The Glitter Detector, which is a wonderful blog and everyone should definitely check it out. 

Step 1 or What You Will Need:

A Vacuum (mine is a Phillips 12.0V Car Vacuum, but any will do), Shower Gel/Cream or shampoo, your Tangle Teezer and an old toothbrush.

Step 2

Take your vacuum and carefully place it over a section of teeth/bottom of the brush, and repeat this a few times. You may not see that much improvement, but you can get rid of the dirt/hair later.

Step 3

Take your Tangle Teezer and place it under the tap and rinse it for 10 seconds, and then apply your shower gel or shampoo and spread it evenly over the brush, and rub it in with your fingers. 

Step 4

Put your Tangle Teezer under the tap and rinse it out thoroughly for about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Now we're going to remove all of the dirt/hair that has accumulated over time in your Tangle Teezer, so we're going to take your toothbrush and Tangle Teezer and turn the tap on, while rinsing the brush, use the toothbrush to scrub out all of the hair, don't worry about it bending the teeth as the bristles on the toothbrush will prevent them from bending.

Now your Tangle Teezer looks like it came straight out of the box!

TIP:

If you have a Compact Styler like mine, then I suggest that you shake out the water that has accumulated inside the brush as the water enters it easily as it has a hole.

DIY Red Velvet Cupcakes

Hi everyone :)

Before we left to Istanbul I actually made a batch of red velvet cupcakes, and I really wanted to post something about them but I didn't have time. So now that I've got a spare moment or two, I decided to show you them :)
The recipe I used was Martha Stewart's and I think it's really quite good, though I didn't put in as much red food colouring as she said to, because it's bad for you, so my cupcakes aren't super red.
For the frosting recipe click here.

So yeah, just wanted to share those with you. I am a huge fan of R5, and I actually made a cupcake for them, except I don't seem to have a photo. Great. Oh well.

Istanbul (Pre-Post)

Hello :)
So it's Christmas break now in international schools, and so our family is going to Istanbul, Turkey for 6 days, and then we're off to the UK to visit family for Christmas.
Apparently this is a unusually cold Christmas in Istanbul, which is just great for me, but Mum doesn't like it so much. Currently, it is 3°C in Istanbul, and there is SNOW. Living in a tropical country it's amazing to be able to get away once in a while to the cold. It makes you so grateful that you live in such a hot country!
In Istanbul we will be visiting the Grand Bazaar and will be sampling many foods for all of you guys to try... Our friends recommended the kebabs and baklava. The baklava we have here in Singapore, you can buy them from Turkish restaurants on Arab streets, where we go sometimes to have delicious Lavash and dips.
We will try to update every couple of days, and maybe we will have a couple of vlogs (exciting!) if Mum lets me. Ha ha.

Merry Christmas!
