During my trip to Sydney over Christmas I had a few hair disasters. Whether it was the heat and humidity or the windy weather, I didn’t come prepared for either and it left me at a bit of a loss for ideas as to how to fix my hair.  I wanted something chic and simple that could be achieved quickly and with very little, if any, product.  So  I put on my thinking cap, did a little experimenting and came up with a winning solution.

You saw it in my latest Vlog and requested the tutorial, so here you are!

Enjoy!

Horray! It is tutorial time again. Thanks to my new Kodak Zi8, I can finally create much better tutorials, and thanks to Mr SKM who has been working hard to fix my software, I can finally edit them properly. Okay, the editing I am still working on, but I’m getting there.

Today’s tutorial is the first in a series on how I use the Bumpits hair inserts.  These are designed to give lift and volume where you would have traditionally needed lots of teasing to achieve the look.  This look is a simple updo that takes three minutes to achieve and can be just a classy or cute as you like – it all depends on the accessories you add.

Enjoy!

P.S: You may notice I’ve been nominated for another Fashion Blog Award. Yes, I need your votes! So please, spare a moment and vote for Super Kawaii Mama here.. (several times if you can) cause it is nice to know you’re loved.

Time for another Super Kawaii Mama tutorial! Due to an overwhelming demand and the eventual co-operation of my video software, I can finally bring you the video version of my everyday makeup tutorial.  This is the look that you will see if most of my Daily Outfit photos and is actually quite quick and easy to achieve once you’ve had a little practice.  I’ve spent quite a bit of time explaining my techniques so this tutorial is a long one, so long I’ve had to divide it into two parts, but doing the makeup won’t actually take the 20 minutes you see here!
