New hair?

I guess I've not really done much this week to post about! If you're subscribed to me on YouTube (and why aren't you if you're not?? Just kidding :D ), you will see that I have been on a role with posting videos on there at the moment! For those of you who know me, I hate doing university work, so any chance I can, I will find an excuse to procrastinate big time!!

But yeah... This week at uni I have had two assessed presentations. One was for German about low-skilled immigrant workers and the other, which was today, was about whether xenophobia (fear of people from another country) was becoming the norm in France or not. Yeah... compelling, I assure you. Anyway! I've had to do these two bloomin' presentations with tonsillitis! I went to the doctors on Wednesday for some antibiotics or something and the doctor (who was very attractive!) said that because it was viral tonsillitis (yeah my tonsils weren't attractive at all...), he couldn't give me any antibiotics for it! I struggled on through... I wasn't really that ill to be fair but seeing Christine recoil from me after seeing my tonsils made me realise that they can't have looked healthy!

I have recorded two new tea reviews, if you're interested. Both for Twinings tea and I put a sneak-peak at what is to come in the tea review world with my teapigs matcha May post in my last tea review so go and check them out if you'd like!

So at the end of my last entry, I said that I was going to go and colour my hair! And here is my new hair :D

It's a lot of blue, a bit of purple and even less pink. It's just quite fun and very different to what I did with my hair before. I like it!

Then I wanted to do a makeup look to match my hair! This is when I went to the doctors so he probably thought I looked seriously overdressed for someone going to the doctors! Click here for the makeup tutorial!

But that is how uninteresting my life has been this week! I know... So sad isn't it? Hopefully next week will be more exciting. I'll try to remember to take more photos anyway so you have something more to look at apart from my (beautiful :P ) face.

I hope you're all well!

Snooow!

I'm not going to write much about what I've been up to, because I've not really been up to anything to be honest!

It all kicked off in the house after I wrote my blog post on Friday night. SO MUCH NOISE but hey, they were drunk and I'm sure I've been like that before so I don't have a problem with it. It does mean that I was knackered (very tired) on Saturday and needed cheering up. I went into the town and did a bit of shopping!

I saw this tshirt and cardigan in H&M and knew that I had to have it! Especially as it really wasn't expensive... I decided that I don't have enough icecream or cupcake-based clothing in my life and that really needs to change! This cardigan looks like mint choc-chip icecream! Yuuuum!

After a lazy day yesterday, it started to snow! Woke up this morning and it was still snowing. All through my German class this morning it was STILL snowing! I was a little worried I wouldn't be able to get home, but I should have had faith in the English weather as it was sunny by the time I needed to leave uni.

We don't get that much snow in England so whenever we do, it's a definite novelty! Everything stops though too... If it kept snowing, buses and trains would stop therefore classes would have to be cancelled etc etc... We can't seem to function normally if the rain decides to freeze! One of my housemates took some good pictures of the snow so I'll have to share them with you at some point :)

I hope that you all have had a lovely day so far and that the weather hasn't affected you too much! I'm now going to have a lovely cup of tea to warm myself up :)

Introduction!! And my evening.

Well it's time for me to introduce myself to you. If you've been reading my blog since I started it last week, which I suspect no one has been following it religiously, then I'm sure you're wondering who Hanana the Banana really is, and whether she is actually a banana!

Sorry to disappoint you. I am not some magical banana who has hands.

This is me. The aim of this picture was to show off my hair, hence the two images next to each other... But yes.

Hi. My name is Hannah. I am 22 years old and I am a student currently studying German with French in Nottingham, England. I am like any typical student, as in I'm far too stressed some of the time, far too laid back some of the time, or far too drunk to care the rest of the time! I have many interests which include hair, makeup, crafting and singing. I make friendship bracelets and run a (very) small business called Banana Bracelets.

I dye my hair frequently and I'm sure you will see a hair timeline at some point as I have had many colours and colour-combinations! The above colour was for Christmas, but I will be re-colouring it soon as I'm getting really bored of it. I am also interested in piercings and other body modifications. I've not done any of my piercings myself, don't you worry, and I'm still deciding what I should have as my first tattoo!

If you have any questions to ask me, please feel free to leave me a comment asking me!

So it was my housemate, Matt's, birthday today (11th Jan) and he reached the age of 22. He is naturally very drunk at the moment as he had some mates up to celebrate tonight. I'm off alcohol at the moment so I decided to save my money and call it a night after the first bar we went to!

Christine and I made Matt a birthday brownie yesterday! It's SO delicious. I almost can't believe I made something that delicious myself! (With Christine's help, of course...) Maybe I'll post the recipe I used here soon :)

I really need to stop biting my nails...

Anyway, I am now tucked up in bed, in my pyjamas, with a cup of camomile with spiced apple tea, watching Love Never Dies, which my best friend (also called Hannah!) bought me for Christmas. It's SO delicious and I'll write about the Love Never Dies DVD in tomorrow's entry :D

I hope that you all have had a lovely week. I had a French speaking test today so that was fun! Got my German one next week... Ah the joys of a uni student!

A whole week has past since I last posted!

I want to say it's because I've been oh-so busy with my manic social life, but we all know that isn't true at all! January turns out to be the month of deadlines. It is also the month I decide to get my first cold in 2 years... Good timing body!

I went out on Saturday night with some of my housemates. I say this now as a piece of news because I looked through the photos from the night this evening, and some of them are hilarious!! I literally don't understand how we function sometimes! I think it's safe to come to the conclusion that we all need to drink a lot less... Good thing I've given up alcohol now!

This is me. My hair is actually more pink, but that's fine... Note the attractive colour of my tongue from too many double vodka and diet cokes!

James and Christine are two of my housemates. Christine definitely looks like she's enjoying herself a bit too much! No doubt you will end up seeing more of them as the blog goes on...

Ok, so maybe the photos are funnier because we were there other than because they were actually funny, I get it. You can stop pretending to laugh now.

Uni started back on Monday. That was a delight... I had a French presentation where I expressed my views on gay marriage for about 20 minutes. It went surprisingly well actually! Today I've just been working on German work that I have due in tomorrow but that's nothing interesting.

This blog entry has been horribly boring. Have some happles to make reading this entry worth your while.

I hope that you have a lovely day :)

The Day That Hanana Was Productive!

Yep, you heard right! I've actually had a productive day today. Not as productive as I would have liked but you know, beggars can't be choosers and all that jazz. The first productive thing I did was tidying some of my room. Note the some... My room still looks like a bomb's hit it but it's still a vast improvement on what it was.

I then did my makeup all nicely because I was fed up of looking at my room and fancied a change of scenery. I only went into the town centre but it was still nice as it cleared my head.

Seee, it's all nice and greeny. I find it fun to play with makeup and I had a colour similar to this in my Meat Loaf tshirt that I was wearing. *Stop talking about makeup!*

Another thing I did was find Monkey's non-Christmas jumper. Monkey is my toy monkey that can't be naked. I used to make him tshirts out of socks and my mum started to knit him jumpers! He only has two at the moment, but when I improve (or find a pattern as mum just makes them up!) then Monkey can have a larger wardrobe :P

Thought I'd include a picture of Monkey's two jumpers. They're so adorable. Yeah... he kinda looks old and "well-loved" but he is! I can't get over how talented my mum is :D

The final and probably most productive thing I did today was write a 1000-word German essay about location factors that businesses have to consider when setting up a factory... *snooooore*! Yeah. SO  boring. We'll see how I did though... Probably not that well to be honest but I'm alright with that.

I've been watching My Big Fat Royal Gypsy Wedding, the American series. I can't get over how young these girls get married. One episode, a 17-year-old girl marries a boy of 18 years whom she'd only met twice prior to the wedding!! INSANE! I'll tell you what else is insane too, the size of these dresses!!

They're AWESOME! Those dresses must weigh a tonne though. I feel sorry for them when they talk about the bruises they get on their hips! The girl in pink is only 14 and the party she went to was so she could look for her husband... I'm 22! I'm not ready to think about marriage yet!

Anyway, that was my pointless ramble for the day! I hope you've had a lovely Thursday.
