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

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.

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 ;)
