Its Friday Tanning Tips


Happy Friday Everyone!

This week is about tan. Ohh how us girls like to tan in the sun or fake tan.

Tips on how to get a good fake tan.

TIP 1 : Make sure you keep you skin in good condition. Use a moisturiser every day after you get out of the shower and before you go to bed. Make sure you get every dry area.

TIP 2: Exfoliate! yes i know people always say this ! But by scrubbing you skin it helps it get rid of all the dead skin and cleans it. By doing this it allows the tan to just sit nicely on even skin and wont be patchey. 

TIP 3: If someone is spray tanning you make sure they are wearing gloves. If you are applying it to yourself make sure you are wearing a good tanning mitt. If you are not you will end up with orange tinted palms and you won't be able to hide them! 

TIP 4:  Tanning your back is the most hardest thing to do on your own so make sure you have someone there to do it for you.

TIP 5: Your hair line and eyebrows are going to get tan on if you don't put a bit of Vaseline on them. this will prevent any doggy tide marks appearing.

Hurst Castle




Me and My boyfriend wen to visit my auntie and uncle at the weekend.

I was amazing weather, nice and hot and no rain! We went to Hurt castle which was amazing, My Boyfriend and uncle loved it. Its like any boys dream. They decided to run up and down stairs, climb in holes and look at guns and cannons.

You can walk along what they call "the spit" which is about a mile long and as you can see from the picture above it has some amazing both sides. It was just so nice to walk on a load of gravel through the sea and just have the sound of the waves and the sun out. if you don't want to walk you can always get a ferrie there and back which is on a cute little boat.

I loved it here. Its nice a relaxing and just a nice place to come and chill surrounded by the sea with a lovely view.

Its friday!


 Its Friday! The week has gone so quick.

Healthy Hair

Everyone wants good looking hair so here are some tips for keeping you hair look fab!

Start of with healthy hair. 
There is no point trying to make your hair look nice and healthy when its not. Chop every inch of hair of which is damaged.

Get it trimmed every 12 weeks
By getting you hair trimmed every 12 weeks it gets rid of all the split ends and it will help your hair grow a lot quicker.

DON'T wash your hair everyday
By washing you hair everyday, its gets rid of all the natural oils that you body produces. You should wash you hair once or twice a week. I know this may sound silly but its not. I was my hair twice a week. 

Spend money on products
The more you spend on them the better they are. if you are going to spend £2 on products, they are not going to help you hair. Give you hair a hair mask once in a while treat it.

Avoid heat when possible
Do you really need to dry you hair with a hairdryer every time you wash it?
If you can't keep away from it then use something that will protect your hair from the heat.

Don't wash you hair with hot water
I got told this by one off my friends. By using super hot water just gets rid of all the moisture from you head.

Swimming
If you go swimming a lot make sure you have a shower before and make sure that you hair is all wet!
By doing this it won't soak as much chlorine up.
Another tip that i have just found out, is if you wear a hair cap when swimming wet you hair then put conditioner on your hair and just out the hair came on. This way you are not drying out your hair and your getting a good deep long condition.

Keep healthy hair!

Magic Monday Quote





I have decide that every Monday i am going to give you a quote of some sort to help you get through the week. Every Friday I am going to give you a weekend tip.




What does this mean? Do I do this?

Every one does this. Everyone of us does this and I bet there is that one person reading this now shacking their head saying no i don't but your wrong you do. Everyone has a dream in there life, this could be anything from getting a new job, starting a family, traveling, anything. 

You can't just run away from your fear, run away from what your scared of you HAVE to chase it, chase your dream go and get it before it's to late. 

I know this may sound bad but as you get older you have less chance of making your dream come true and if you just run away from it all the time its never going to and as you get older you will regret it and wish you had done it but it would have been to late. I have always been told that if I want something I have to go and get it, even if it takes me weeks or even months I will get there in the end and that I have.

When I left school I wanted to do childcare and I did and completed that know after two years of doing that I changed my mind and what to do beauty. At first I din't think I could do it, i thought that everything was going to go wrong and i wasn't going to be very good at it. The longer I thought and left it, every min and second i was getting older and older and i knew if i wanted it that badly i would have to go and get it. Now I have nearly completed my dream at last! I am half way there, I have done nearly all my courses I need to do and the last big step for me now is the last course which could take me so far in life and that is what i want. I want to be out there in the world, meet new people, learn new skills. I want my dream and I am going to get it!

Don't be scared in chasing your dream. If you want it, you have to fight for it. It may take a while but as long as you keep going strong and don't run away you will get there in the end. Even if you need help along the way, its fine. Any one can do this.

YOU CAN DO IT. DON'T BE SCARED. CHASE YOUR DREAM. MAKE IT COME TRUE.
BE POSITIVE ABOUT YOUR SELF. YOU CAN DO IT.

It's Friday!



It's Friday and don't we all know it.

It's time for all us girls to come home from work and relax! 

Every Women should have a Friday evening routine that you can do every Friday so that you are relaxed and feeling refreshed for the weekend ahead whether your really busy or just lazying around.
Every Friday after work I know I like to come home from work and just relax and have a pamper session where I  can just have time to myself and just forget about the week at work.

Every Friday I like to make sure that I have a nice relaxing pamper session. I just like to have a nice warm bubble bath, light a candle and just put a face pack on and just cleanse, exfoliate and polish and wash my hair. After having a bath and getting in my nice comfy jogging bottoms and baggy top I like to pluck my eyebrows if need then moisture the dry bits such as my knees, heels, elbows and my face so that they are nice and soft. After mosturising I like to give my hair a quick blow dry and just tie it up in a bun. Once that is all done I like to just get rid of any nail polish I have on and just give my finger nails a nice little manicure  , so getting rid of any cuticle skin which is lose or looks horrible and just giving my nails a really nice file. Then I like to find a really nice colour for both my fingers a toes and just apply a bottom clear coat and then the colour I have chosen and then a final clear top coat. After all this is done I give it an hour or two then apply my tan and for this I do two coats. The reason for this is if I apply my ten straight after I get out of the bath all my pores and that are open so it wouldn't work so by waiting a couple of hours it give my pores time to close.



There all done and ready for Saturday morning after having a early night

Soap & Glory Fab Pore

                                                    Soap & Glory Fab Pore Facial Peel


I love this. Its is ideal for a greasy spot prone or problem skin. You can use this on your nose, chin or t-zone and it works a treat. 

Rub a grape size amount into your troubled area in circles until the green balls has dissolved.
I normally leave this on for five mins, sometimes even fifteenth if i really want a deep cleanse. Then just rise of with warm water then after I just use a moisturiser. 

I find that this really helps and just get rid of all the rubbish out of the troubles areas. It makes your black heads less noticeable.  I just love a good face mask which just helps get ride of all the rubbish that is in your skin. I just love having one day where I can just relax and pamper myself. 

I would recommend this to any one who has trouble with oily skin, breakouts or blackheads as this really helps and just gives your skin a total cleanse.

You can this form boots or superdrug for around £8.00.

Argan Oil


Phil Smith Argan Oil


Cosmopolitan May issue had a free product called total treat argan oil from phil smith. The product is for dry, coloured and damages hair. it claims to be a hair transforming cream that leaves you with unbelievably silky texture hair.

This is a great product,I use it everyday just by putting a pea size amount on to my fingers and rubbing it in to the ends of my hair and already I can see a difference and by only using a pea size amount means that it will last much longer. I have died my hair and its damaged and dry. Using this argan oil really does help it, not only does it smell nice but its easy to use. After using this my hair just feels so much more healthy and just so smooth and soft. Using this argan oil has just given my hair the moisture that it needs

Most people would think it being an oil it would be liquid but it's not, it is atcully a cream.

I will be purchasing this product again when it runs out as I love it and it does wonders for my hair.

Sleek Palette


I love these two palettes. 1 Brights Ultra Mattes i-Divine contains 12 pure matte shades And V2 Darks Ultra Mattes i-Divine contains 12 pure matte shades.

The colours on these palettes are just so nice and pigmented. I can't get enough of them. They are just so nice and easy to use. They stay on well and also just nice colours. I haven't used the bright colours as much as the darker ones, as i don't tend to use bright colours on my eyes. 

I would recommend these two palettes to any one who loves using eye shadows and experimenting with different colours.

I brought these of amazon and they where £14.00 together.
