Little, inexpensive token gifts for her.

Hey guys? 

You struggling to find something to get her for valentines?

Have you not been with her long? 

Did she tell you not to worry about getting her something? (never fall for this! It's a trap!!!)

Well I suggest a little token gift, 

You could get her a pretty card, and write a cute note or poem inside. 

Buy her a single rose! Roughly £2

A little box of chocolates, or bag of chocolates, or something.

And she will appreciate the thought, 

Alternatively, if your willing to splash more of the cash, go look at my valentines gift ideas for him just switch some of the products for her. 

Hope this helps!

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!

 +Asda 

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.

Eastpak 30 year guarantee!

OMG! I just received my new backpack through the post and have never been so delighted.
ITs light weight, easy to carry, very colourful, goes with almost everything and was only £35 from amazon and what a bargain that was. It works out just over £1 a year for the guarantee. It honestly is the best purchase I have ever made.

I decided I needed a back pack for college due to carrying round so many books that my shoulder and back hurt and because my handbag I was using wouldn't close, it was coming away from the handles and when I took a packed lunch everyone could see what I was eating and what I had eaten. I know it doesn't sound bad but, just imagine if you had taken curry in a Tupperware box, not the best sight ey? So, after intensively researching backpacks that didn't look like they were from the 1900's or were meant for trekking up a mountain and had numerous attachments for ladles and camp chairs ect, I found eastpaks website and was delighted at the amount of patterns and prints they do and after a day of looking I found my perfect match…. Frosty Thunder. It is amazing and an unusual pattern for a back pack but, I LOVE IT! <3
