Beauty Secrets of Olive Oil

Hello Lovlies,




We all know how good olive oil is for our health but it has so many more versatile ways that it can be used in the beauty world. From hair to cuticles, there are plenty of easy ways to use that bottle that is sitting in most kitchens. Below are my favourite tips/tricks for using olive oil. 


  1. As a Deep-Conditioning Hair Treatment - Warm up half a cup of olive oil, massage into hair scalp and onto the tips, cover with a shower cap or cling film! Shampoo off after 30-40 minutes. 
  2. To Remove Make Up - Great for getting rid of any stubborn eye make up or waterproof mascara just dap a little bit of olive oil on a cotton bud and just remove the stubborn make up.
  3. Cuticle Oil -Great to massage into your cuticles after painting your nails. 
  4. Smooth Shaven Legs - Shave your legs, then massage olive oil onto your legs then go back over and shave again. This removes all the dead skin cells that you didn't realise were there in the first place!
I hope you are all having a wonderful day, it is gorgeous in England lately! I would love to know what your beauty secrets are? 

Much Love

French Plait Spring Hair Tutorial

Hello Lovlies,

I love the french plait its very girlie and classy and super easy when you have mastered it! I am always trying to find new ways to wear the french plait and new ways to wear my hair as I always have it curled and that can get very boring! 

So today I'd thought that I would share with you how I get my hair looking like this, with the french plait going from the forehead to the crown of the head! 



The things that you will need to create this look are:
Freshly washed or one day old hair
A brush and comb
Little clear hair bands
A curling wand

Firstly you will need to brush through your hair making sure that all the knots and little tangles are all out, this will just make it easier to plait you hair. Once you have brushed all the knots out you what to grab the section of hair on the very top of your head making sure its about 5 inches wide. Brush this section of hair to get rid of any gaps or partings you may have. 

Once it is all lovely a smooth you want to grab a little section from the front of your section and divied that into 3 and just start french plaiting - its like a normal plait but you introduce a new section of hair each time. Once you have plaited all the way to your crown of your head just secure with an clear hair tie - you can now make the plait as messy or neat as you like by pulling section looser or just keeping it how it is!


After you have played around with your plait you can now play around with the hair that is left, there are so many ways you can do with this hair, for example you can put it all up into a bun or curl the very ends or straight in or just keep it quite natural! I curled my ends of hair with just a curling wand i don't know what size mine is but I think its about 1 inch. You could curl it with a bigger wand making lovely big bouncy glamous curls - which would look gorgeous! 




I hoped you like this sort of hair tutorial post and if you'd like me to do some more or try out other hair styles then just like me know! I hope you are all having a lovely day and the weather is lovely wherever you are!

Whats In My Bag?!

Hello Lovlies,

Today I'd thought I would do the 'Whats In My Bag' post as I love reading and watching these on Youtube. So I thought I'd do one too so if you are as nosy as me then carry on reading!! 

My hand bag is from Accessorise, priced at £38 - I think - for me this bag is the perfect size for college and everyday! It can fit all what you need and a little bit more if your a bit of an over packing with the handbag. This bag does come with an over shoulder strap but I've taken my off as I just prefer the bag without it. 





Whats Inside? I have recently cleared out my bag so its pretty clean however I still have random lose change and receipts. I do normally have my car keys in my bag and a note book but for some reason they weren't in there! 




My purse is from Ted Baker, priced at £75.
Pink headphones
Iphone 5 in White with a Ted Baker phone case, phone case priced around £25
Glasses, I use these for college. 
The Body Shop Vanilla Body Mist.
Maybelline Baby Lips In Hydrate
Compact Mirror
Lock for the gym! 

I hope you are having a lovely Sunday afternoon, and I would love to know what you keep in your handbag!

Quote Of The Day

Hello Lovlies,

Today has been a rather boring lazy day and I honestly haven't done much apart from college work and eating gingerbread! However I did have my nails done this morning - a little bit of a pick me up!

While I was having my nails done I was scrolling through social media and came across this quote on Pinterest.


http://www.pinterest.com/pin/374784000212740588/

I fell in love with this quote straight away and I believe every girl should be like this. To me I think this quote means that every girl should have the appearance of a princess so a classy girl, who has respect for themselves however if you miss with her then the warrior comes out, and they will stand up for themselves and what they believe in. I think this is a brilliant quote for young teenage girls trying to find themselves in life either its friendship groups, style, or at school but also one for older women. 

Im sorry this was a bit of a boring random post but if you enjoyed it and would like me to do more little 'Quotes Of The Day' then comment below! I hope you have had a lovely day or are having a good day!!

Primark Sandels

Hello Lovlies, 

Today I had to pop into Primark just to get some more basic things - camis, jeans, socks all the boring things - I thought I'd just have a look around the shoes section and I was very much surprised! They have some gorgeous summer sandles in, so I thought I'd pick some up but I will be going to get some more for sure! All the sandals start at around £6 so a complete bargain! 











I hope you are all well and enjoying the weather! I can't believe it is already April!!! 

Much Love
