Cath kidson look a like bedding for cheap!


Today whilst I was trawling my local Asda with mu mum I spotted an amazing find. It was  Cath Kidson look alike bed sheets (double) which were reduced in the sale and reversible to give your bedroom that little hit when of colour when you feel your rooms looking a little dull. One side if a deep lavender colour with light and dark pink flowers and mint/ dark green leaves and when you flip it over, its cream with pink and purple flowers again with mint/dark green leaves.
It really is an amazing find and was meant to be £9 on sale from £16.

These bed sheets absolutely stunning , really comfortable, stylish and 100% cotton! I couldn’t have gotten a better deal!

I would recommend everyone goes out and has a look at the asda home section. They have loads on sale currently all for around £9.

Body shop Christmas edition ginger sparkle hand cream!

Today, I was in body shop and noticed all there christmas edition things were all on offer and so, I decided I would go a little crazy and try something new so as you can probably guess I chose this hand cream and  smells divine. (exactly like gingerbread fresh from the oven).

It has a little picture of a gingerbread man on the front and comes in a bronze 30ml bottle. It is really hydrating and keeps your hands soft and moisturised almost all day. I LOVE IT. One of the best hand creams I have ever had and would really recommend it to anyone who is looking for a new hand product to keep your skin hydrated over this winter period.

I purchased this for £2.00 in store and it would usually be £4.00 or you could buy a pack of three moisturisers which includes there vanilla bliss  and cranberry joy for £8.00 however, it does work out cheaper to buy all three seperatly.

Tips and tricks to get salon style nails at home!

Don't you all hate it when you paint your nails and then realise you have something to do? I certainly do or when you paint them but they never look as good as you wanted? Don't worry, here are my tips to get beautiful nails in a flash that will dry within two minutes...


  • Always use a base coat. - it will make your nail polish last longer and will stop the polish from staining your nails!
  • Paint in three strokes. one to the left, right and then the middle to smooth both over. This should ensure you cover all the nail and get even coverage. 
  • allow your nails to dry fully! 
  • Then apply a second coat and allow to dry again
  • Finally, finish with a top coat to add a beautiful shine and seal in your design.

To make your nails dry faster you can... 
  1. place your nails in a jug of cold water (preferably with ice) this will freeze the molecules in the polish and stop it smudging.
  2. buy a nail blower. they're so cute and blow on your nails for you which speeds up the drying time.
  3. buy a top speed nail polish that will dry in 60 seconds
  4. an even better choice is a top speed top coat which will dry any nail polish instantly

Thank you for reading and I really hope my few tips helped you achieve your salon style nails.
