How to Care for your Hair by Rapunzel

2/20/2018

0 Comments

 
Everyone says my hair is my best asset. But keeping these luscious locks in tip top condition takes more time and effort than you might think. Here are my top tips for how to get your hair as lovely as mine...
Picture
1. Keep knots at bay  - brush for at least ten hours a day....
Picture
2. If you don't have time to brush... employ animal friends to brush for you (you can pay them in berries and nuts!)
Picture
3. Keep your hair away from pollution - get a friendly witch to lock you in a tower.
Picture
4. Strengthen your hair by getting a prince to climb it every day.
Picture
5. And let me be very, very clear... never EVER cut your hair! 
Picture
That's it. I hope you and your hair are as happy as me and mine.
Laters.

How to Survive A Wicked Stepmother, by Cinderella.

2/12/2018

0 Comments

 
When it comes to wicked stepmothers, mine really takes the biscuit. But just because you live with a hell-troll, doesn't mean you have to be unhappy. Here are my top tips on surviving a wicked stepmother.
1. Surround yourself with good friends... they don't have to be animals, but I find cuddly critters make the best companions.
Picture
2. Just keep singing - is there anything that fills your heart with more joy than singing? It will also really wind up your stepmother.
Picture
3. Be better than her - hold your head high and get through the chores, don't give her a reason to punish you.
Picture
4. Don't let her stop you doing what you want... even if you need a little magic to help you.
Picture
5. Move on to a better life and never look back - preferably one that involves a castle, a handsome prince and lots of well made shoes that don't slip off. (Not necessarily in that order.)
Picture
Good luck!

How To Get A Good Night's Sleep - by Sleeping Beauty

2/5/2018

Despite what people may think, I do not fall asleep easily. Even though I am always tired, my mind buzzes with fears... what if I don't wake up? What if I do wake up and the whole world has changed? What if my prince forgets to wake me up?

These things can keep me awake for hours and hours.

So I have a few top tips, for getting a good night's sleep.

ONE: Make sure your bed is far away from everyone, preferably up a tower.
Picture
Two: Find a spinning wheel and let it's gentle whirring lull you off to sleep.
Picture
Three: Agree with a prince of your choosing a time and date to be woken up.
Picture
Four: Ask a witch to put a spell on you... it works every time.
Picture
Happy sleeping! 

Don't forget to set an alarm!
