If you've ever stumbled across this blog before you will notice that a change has gone on( hint: if you haven't been before it's a blog name/header change....).
why?
Well, I've been in a life rut for a little while now, life, job/lack of creativity, money...being ill. It's all gotten a bit much and I just felt like I had nothing to write here. Life hasn't been all rainbows and butterflies for the past few months but it hasn't been entirely shit either. I just felt really stuck and lost on where I was going with this blog(and well life in general) and I just wanted to do...maybe a Sprinkle of Glitter here and just be a bit more personal, write about what 20 somethings do, talk about my flaws and goals. It's okay to fuck up and its okay to have no idea what's going on and I guess that's exactly what I want to say. I want to be able to write about the non-sugar coated parts of my life, I'm guess I'm just saying that there is more to me than beauty posts and I want my blog to reflect that ( not to say that there won't be some beauty posts - the charlotte tilbury obsession is still going strong.) I really want to progress my writing, I really used to love writing short stories and I still want to blog about art and fitness/health. So maybe a lot of content may stay the same but let's just take it all in a post at the time.
So, why nine lives club?
Well, if you've seen my insta bio it's pretty much - bridget jones but with cats. That's pretty much my life the single cat lady. 1 cat down, 26 more to go until I have reached peak spinsterhood ( I joke...kind of) and I just thought a name change kinda fit.
So there we are. Let's see how this goes.

Excuse the incredibly lame photo up there but in between moving I needed a hair saviour and also didn't get much time for blogging. I hadn't really been taking the best care of my hair - especially with having bleached ends, if I don't put in additional love, my hair becomes an absolute mare. To make things worse I got conditioning bar from Lush which made everything 20 times worse. The bar just didn't condition my hair well no matter how I tried. The bleached ends were getting brittle, really knotty and just looked in bad condition. Some of my hair was snapping from putting it in a bun so much - my hair is so heavy!! I was going through a box of samples I had and came across this Macadamia one and thought it was perfect for the job! The sashay was quite large which I needed because my hair is preetttty long and also really thick so some tiny sashay just wasn't going to cut it!
The smell of this is quite nice, it's not my all time favourite smell but it wasn't awful and it's not a strong overwhelming smell. The packet managed to cover all of my hair and spread really easy so I managed to rub it in with product left to spare. It recommends you leave it on for 7 minutes after you've cleaned your hair so I swapped this in place of conditioner and I have to say my hair was SO soft after this, it felt heaps better!! I'm already looking at getting a large tub to do once a week to keep on top of it. Even the next day my hair was still much more manageable than before, it brushed really easily and still feels really soft so this is a definite winner for me! This and a fresh cut has just been an absolutely saviour to my hair.
Do you guys have any hair masques you recommend?!

A few weeks ago I managed to go to my DREAM place - a cat cafe! Although my house is a little like a cat cafe with Harry and Millie, I couldn't resist going to visit all the little cuties at the cafe. Disclaimer - I think this is actually my most favourite place ever.
Essentially, you pay for the time you are there its a quid for every 5 minutes ( so around £12 for an hour) and you can have tea and coffee or read a book they even do movie nights and cats just chill around you. If they are feeling playful there are heaps of toys on hand for you to play with them! The cats do have a home away from everyone to go a hide if its all a bit much, so you may not see all the cats when you are there. My favourites were Bert and then Aslan and Riley. Bert was an absolute mentalist and was sooo playful! I'm a sucker for a big fluffy ginger cat so I loved Aslan and Riley was so playful I had her and Savannah running round like mad men chasing toys on strings, I could have spent hours playing with them.

The drinks are free at the cafe and they do have cakes and cookies which you will need to pay for so it could make for a cheap little day out. They do have some lactose free options with the coffee and tea as well. None of the cats tried to go for the food, which was impressive! If that was Harry you wouldn't be able to put anything down without finding him eating it! The cafe does have some rules so you don't overwhelm the cats and you are given slippers to wear when you go in as well for hygiene reasons.
Make sure you take your camera -picture of the week can win you a free trip back! I came second with my photo of Riley ( just above) - just loosing out to a great photo of my beloved Bert. I honestly think this a really cheap and fun day out -perfect if you are on a budget! Even more perfect if you're in rented accommodation that doesn't allow pets and you need to get your cat fix!
Have you been?? who was your favourite??
