THE BEST LIPBALM EVER



BURT'S BEES Lip Balm can be purchased at Boots

I have loved this lip balm for ages- it's sooo good! It is 100% natural and includes vitamin E, peppermint and obviously bees wax. Whenever my lips feel dry then I put this on and, in no time at all, they are back to normal. You don't have to keep applying it throughout the day because it almost works if you only use it once! As soon as you put this on your lips they go all tingling- it feels like you can actually feel it working. It's also perfect for under lipstick. It makes your lips feel and look healthy. It isn't too thick either which I have found with many lip balms. However the flavoured ones aren't as good so I would defiantly recommend getting the original! It may be slightly expensive for a drug store lip balm but it is far the best!

Have you tried any burt's bees products? What did you think?

GIRL ONLINE



Girl Online (By Zoe Sugg aka Zoella)

I was given this book from Father Christmas and I finished it a few days ago so I thought I would do a quick review on what I thought about it! At my primary school we used to do 2 stars and a wish where we would give two things we liked about our work and one thing we didn't like (improvement). So I am going to do just that...

 ★ | This book was so easy to read! It may have been because it was written in a 'blog' style or because it's ranged at a younger audience to me but I couldn't put it down! Also the chapter sizes are really short which I like because no matter how much time you have, you always will have time to quickly read a chapter or two!

★ |  When I was reading this book it kept reminding me a Zoe. I don't really know why but if I had read this, without knowing who the author was, I would have guessed Zoe. I love books which remind you of the author because it makes them unique and individual. She included so many different issues about adolescence too which I think is really nice because it raises awareness of them (eg. anxiety, spots, boys, friendship, relationships)

☁ | This would have probably made the story boring but I thought it was a little unrealistic. It's very much a girly chic flick book, which I suppose isn't a bad thing, but I would have liked it to be in more depth- If that makes sense? I bit more 'grit'. Ahaha!

That said I can't wait to read book two this year (that sounds really weird- 2015!)  and I can really see this book turning into a film one day!

Have you read this book? What do you think? What's your favourite book?

LIZ EARLE BRONZER

 

FOR THE WARMER WINTER DAYS



LIZ EARLE BRONZER



Liz Earle Radiant Glow Bronzer

Liz Earle's Radiant Glow Bronzer is so beautiful! I love that it adds so much glow and highlight to your face and it looks so natural. It also makes your skin look incredibly healthy and alive- I have also noticed this with the blush that Liz Earle also do. It can double up as an eye shadow as well. This bronzer is very build-able meaning it can go with lots of different looks and lipsticks! Even though this is expensive it is defiantly worth it!  I like that it has a mixture of matte and shimmery shades too as it adds to the natural 'glow'. Your skin but better! I am really looking forward to wearing this in the summer!

NEW YEAR NAILS

Rimmel London Rita Ora- Lose Your Lingerie
Sally Hansen- Razzle Dazzle

 I don't know if these nails are too sparkly or not? But I thought you could never go too sparkly for the party season?! I am in love with the Rimmel London nail polishes- especially this colour! I wore this so much last year and whenever I wore it I always got so many compliments about it. I have never tried any of Sally Hansen's nail polishes only there nail care and I was really impressed. In one coat it covers your nails with glitter. Both these nail polishes also dry pretty quickly too. There staying power is okay- it probably stays un-chipped for about 3-5 days. 

What's your favourite nail polish?

FOR THE WARMER WINTER DAYS

FOR THE WARMER WINTER DAYS

I am wearing 

Top | Zara Trafaluc

Skirt | Miss Selfridges Petite (not available but here is a similar one)

Shoes | Cocorose

Bag | Longchamp

Necklace | Family friend

This outfit is definitely for the more warmer winter days! I paired a stripy long-sleeved top with a black skater skirt for a casual, effortless look. I popped on some ballet pumps and voila! I ended up putting some tights on though because it was colder than I thought!

I have been in love with Zara recently- I love the way that there are so many different styles to choose from in there! Long-sleeved tops are going to be my go-to when it comes to spring. You can wear them when its not cold another for a full on fluffy coat but too cold to just wear a short sleeved t-shirt. 

Hope you liked my first outfit post and I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I liked putting it all together. Happy New Year!

The Best Beauty Product Ever

Water!

Yep, water, the product which you don't need to leave the house to get but you should always leave the house with! But do you? 

The European Food Safety Authority recommends that women should drink about 1.6 litres of fluid and men should drink about 2.0 litres of fluid per day. That's about eight glasses of 200ml each for a woman, and 10 glasses of 200ml each for a man. However this can obviously change depending on you and the environment! When you feel thirsty it means you have lost 1% of your total water (70% of your body is made up of water!) So, get up and go and get a glass of water, and then carry on reading this. I can wait.... Are you back? Okay, I will let you carry on now!

10 benefits of water (and tips)

1. Luckily in the UK water is free | (However over 780 million people lack the access to clean water.)

2. Drinking water can help you lose weight | by increasing your metabolism, which helps burn calories faster.

3. The average person could live without food for nearly a month, but we could only survive about one week without water | if there wasn't any water then we wouldn't be here!

4. Water is essential for healthy skin | The more you drink the more hydrated and healthy your skin will look because water flushes out all the nasty toxins that cause spots. Drinking water can also reduce wrinkles and help moisturise your skin.

5.  Increases hair and nail growth and makes them stronger! 

6.  Good hydration can prevent arthritis | With plenty of water in your body, there is less friction in your joints, thus less chance of developing arthritis. Water can help reduce heart disease and cancer | Water helps flush toxins out of your body.

7. If you have the courage, just before you turn the shower off, turn it to the coolest setting | This will make your hair shiner! The cold temperature constricts the cuticle layer of your hair so it lies flatter; making strands smoother and more reflective. 

8. More water means a brighter smile and teeth | Good hydration can help reduce cavities and tooth decay. Water helps produce saliva, which keeps your mouth and teeth clean.

9. Natural Headache Remedy 

10.  Increases Energy & Relieves Fatigue | Since your brain is mostly water (80%), drinking it helps you think, focus and concentrate better and be more alert. As an added bonus, your energy levels are also boosted!

TIP: Always have a bottle of water next to you, expecially when you are working or studying. If it is right next to you, you just seem to drink more of it! That probably doesn't make sense | oh well!
