How To Look Like You've Got Your Life Together (Whatever The Reality May Be!)

Leave a Comment

Okay, this is a safe place so let's just be real... we're all a mess! Whether you're in school and religiously watching Netflix to avoid revision, in Uni, spending all of your food allowance on the sesh or rocking up to work on a Monday pretending you've spent the weekend at the gym. The point is, it's hard to feel like you've ever truly got your life together, most days I feel like Ross in that episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S where he drinks all them Margaritas and tells everyone he's fine when he clearly is not!  However just because we ate a whole box of Krispie Kremes and stayed up all night watching Nashville (maybe just me) doesn't mean the world needs to know the sham we've allowed our lives to become! Therefore I've come up with some fabulous beauty tricks to fool the world into thinking that we're a raging success in every way. Hope this makes you giggle if nothing else!
(Literally my life)
1. NAILED IT
It's honestly incredible what a good manicure can disguise. You will never see a strong, put together woman walking around with chipped nails. Since most of our pay cheque went towards Porn Star Martinis we can't always afford weekly professional manicures, but it's so easy to do at home. Ensure you use cuticle scrub and oil for a polished finish and you can never go wrong with a nude shade.

2. POWER BROWS
When I'm hibernating away from the world and seeking solace in Disney movies, my brows are often the first thing to suffer, because who has time to wax, tweeze and groom when you're nose deep in Doritos? So take 10 mins to sort out your brows and the world will definitely think you've got a high power job and eat kale, it's like science. 



3. CONCEAL DON'T FEEL
Staying out all night and dancing till dawn, or even staying up till 5am watching Netflix may be the most fun way to spend an evening. However turning up to work with dark circles under your eyes may be a clue to your boss that once you leave their presence you do not think about your responsibilities AT ALL and instead of prepping for the Monday meeting, you prep for lasting a whole night in heels and tequila shots. Therefore use this simple highlighting concealer trick and they'll think you're employee of the month, inside and outside of the office.

4. SUPER SKIN
I'm proper OCD when it comes to body care, lol, no not like exercise body care, I'm talking about the lotions and potions we use post shower. As sad as it is, nothing makes me feel better about myself than using a matching shower gel, body cream and spray, YOU JUST SMELL LIKE SOMEONE WHO'S GOT THEIR LIFE TOGETHER! Plus as annoying as it may be, moisturising is so important and once again the appearance of dry, cracked skin could be a dead give away that we've just spent 52 hours in pyjamas. 
SHOWER GEL, BODY BUTTERCREAM, BODY SPRAY: SOAP AND GLORY (SUGAR CRUSH)
And there you have it! Now you're perfectly put together and ready to face (and fool) the world! Just remember not all our dreams are gonna come true overnight and as far as avoiding revision for a night out, YOU'RE ONLY YOUNG ONCE! So go easy on yourselves! xxx ;)

How To Make Old School Easter Egg Nests

Leave a Comment

Mini eggs are one of my favourite things about this time of year and I mean, who isn't obsessed?? So for something super cute and simple this year give these delicious Easter egg nests a go, throwing it back to when we were kids and made dozens of these bad boys for each and every cake sale.

STEP ONE: Melt 100g of white chocolate, then combine this with 100g of Rice Krispies (feel free to adapt on this)
STEP TWO: Scoop a spoonful of the mixture into cupcake cases, ensuring that you press it down, creating a nest shape, then transfer into the fridge for at least 15 minutes
STEP THREE: Grab some first class Mini eggs (legendary snack) and after removing the paper cases fill the shells with them, creating the cutest little nest for you to demolish
And we're done! Literally the most simple recipe ever but sometimes you can't go wrong with a classic. Happy Easter!

How To Bring Country Girl Vibes To The City

Leave a Comment
Now Spring is upon us, it's time to really perk up our wardrobes and although I love a good floral why not try something new? Ever since the days of Hannah Montana I wanted to be a country western girl so I took guitar lessons for 4 years and bought ever pair of ankle boots I came across! So if you fancy throwing some Nashville vibes into your day to day dress then here's some street style inspiration to get you started.

Nothing says country like denim dungarees, so be brave and invest in a pair! They go perfect with a frilly blouse, cowboy boots and your fave sunnies. Plus who doesn't wanna feel like a sassy farmer strolling round the streets??
SHOP: DUNGAREES- H&M
TOP- H&M
SUNGLASSES- H&M
BOOTS- FAITH (DEBENHAMS)
The little black dress may be iconic but white is just perfect for when the sun is shining, since we're playing on country vibes then make sure you find something girlie and frilly to float around in.  
SHOP: DRESS- HOLLISTER
BOOTS- FAITH (DEBENHAMS)
This look is the easiest to execute and can be worn day to night (from brunch to booze basically) A classic pair of ripped jeans and a feminine bib styled blouse will do the trick paired once again with bad ass heeled tan boots.

JEANS- ZARA
