If I had a world of my own everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't.

To perm or not to perm

It's true when they say people want what they can't have. The fact that my hair is naturally straight  is why I am obsessed with curly hair and envy those that have it. 
I'm still contemplating whether or not I should perm it tho as Blake Lively makes me think otherwise. 
But then again so do Aly Michalka, Hilarie Burton and Annalynne Mccord.

Tastes Like Summer

Spring is finally here!! and this is the part where I go on a strict 3 month diet in order to fight that flab and get myself fit for summer. What perfect way to do that then teaaa!! 

Whittard Summer Cocktail is my favourite fruity tea for the summer as I like to make it into an Ice Tea and drink it cold for it has a refreshing taste. 

Twinings Mango and Lychee Green Tea. I love the sweet yet tropical taste of this tea. I make it by boiling the water at 80 degrees and leaving the bag in for only 2 minutes as this gives a refreshing rather then bitter taste.

Also the fact that these teas don't require any milk or sugar means I'm not putting on any weight and lets not forget green tea is a great appetite suppressant meaning I'll be shifting the pounds in no time.

Little Miss Sunshine

I get bored of my hair colour easily which is why I like experimenting. Nothing drastic though as I am a blonde at heart. Right now I am some what between a honey/golden blonde think Blake Lively. For the past 2 years though I was a Taylor Momsen platinum blonde. I never planned to be that light but I became obsessed with becoming lighter and lighter it was sort of an addiction till one day I decided a change was in order as long platinum blonde hair is very hard to maintain not to mention it dries the absolute f*** out of your hair plus it made me look washed out. This colour on the other hand is very subtle and natural and wayy easier to maintain. 

To all fellow blondes these are the products that I personally think work best in maintaining a gorgeous shade of blonde. 

 John Freida Go Blonder Shampoo gradually lightens blonde hair for sun-kissed sparkle.
Lush - The Blonde solid shampoo bar. Just think of a natural, less damaging version of Sun In. It lathers very well for a solid shampoo and leaves the hair silky and shiny. According to Lush it's“A beautiful, creamy soft shampoo to gently cleanse and slowly lighten; the Blonde is for natural blondes who want to be blonder and bottle blondes who want to look like natural blondes. Chamomile infusion and flowers lighten the hair and soothe the scalp so we put scoops of that in. Then we add lemon, mandarin and orange to cleanse and brighten dull locks. Go from bland to blonde by washing with this daily.”

Marilyn hair treatment is a brightening hair treatment for all blondes. It Softness, brightness and adds shine for blonde hair. Marilyn is for blondes who would like to stay blonde and become even more so, in a gentle, shiny and natural way.It enhances golden tones as it's made with softening linseed gel, chamomile for lightness and to calm your scalp, saffron for golden colour, lemon for shine and olive oil to moisturise your hair. It also lightens gradually. The chamomile and lemon are the main ingredients that gradually lighten the hair with regular use which helps bring out the natural blonde colours.They also enhance the natural gloss and shine of blonde hair, which makes hair look more vibrant and healthy.

Daddy-0 shampoo a purple shampoo to stop blondes going brassy. An infusion of coconut oil, lemons and seaweed gives softness and shine, while the violet leaf, rose, bergamot and canaga oil create a scent that stays on your hair throughout the day. It resembles parma violets. The lime and other citrus juices cleanse the hair and give a glossy shine. 


 L'Oreal Silver Shampoo. Just like Daddy-O it stops blondes going brassy and keeps the hair bright and shiny. Not for everyday use as over using silver shampoo can start to turn the hair silver.
Tony& Guy Purple Shampoo. It helps to reduce brassy tones however I used this when I wanted to brighten my hair I never used it as a substitute for my shampoo because it dries out and tangles the hair making it unmanageable. It works as a toner but it the least moisturising so be prepared to use a generous amount of conditioner after. 

All purple/silver shampoos are created in order to reduce brassy tones. It maintains the bright creamy blonde and stops it from going manky tobacco yellow.

Freshhh Cleeean Feeel

I mean it when I say I am IN LOVE with these beauties! they have saved me time and time again from make up abuse. So I first came across the Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash in Cosmopolitan magazine as they were giving out a free tester. No harm will come out of trying it right? OMG already after just ONE use my face looked and felt a whole lot better, just more refreshed and cleansed more then anything. 


So when I used up the lil sachet I ran down to my local boots store and to my luck they had an offer, cant remember how much, so for now lets just say well under £10. Anyhow I got the Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash and Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Daily Scrub. Both these products work really well for me as my skin is of mixed combinations and finds it very tricky to adapt to certain products for the upper part of my face tends to get quite oily whereas the lower part is very dry and sensitive. So using a product that's too strong will leave my skin dried out and sensitive with red blotches, contray to a product that's too weak as it leaves my skin prone to breakout. 


I'm not sure how its suppose to work but I find it most effective to use the facial wash in the mornings as its main purpose is to help eliminate spots and blackheads leaving a fresh clean feel. I use the daily scrub in the evenings however as I tend to wear a fair amount of make up during the day, so therefore find it more effective then the facial wash to remove any residue, plus it says it helps eliminate spots and blemishes leaving a fresh clean feel. The only time you may wish to use the scrub in the morning is if you went to bed with makeup on! Oh I hold my hands up high to say im guilty of doing that, but pleaseee no matter how tired you may be DONT! its such a crime and your poor face has to pay the price of this abuse, not to mention the amount of time you have to spend deep cleansing the next day. 


 Dont take this as the right way because this is based on my own opinion, what works for some might not work for others especially since everyone has different skin types. But in my experience I found that way to be the most effective.


Overall... 
Value for Money ☑ 
Was it effective? ☑ 
Would I repurchase? ☑ 


+ Its Pink
 and it smells sooooooo goooooood!

The Aly Michalka Diet

So recently caught up on season 1 of the Hellcats only to hear that it won't be coming back for another season because it was cancelled. Shame cus I was starting to get pretty into it. Anyhow I couldn't help but notice how amazing Aly Michalka looked. I would kill for that body. Definitely my new girl crush.





Along with kickboxing she has a pretty hardcore workout. Will definately be trying this out as of tomorrow!!
She also makes sure to drink 2L of water a day. Finally a workout I can get into. If those abs aren't motivation enough then I don't know what is.

Happy Valentine's day all you single ladies

As usual single on Valentine's day. Some sit at home feeling sorry for themselves but why?  I quite enjoy the single life no complications. All the single ladies have as much right to celebrate. I would go out but my 2,500 word essay isn't going to write itself. Soo nothing like sitting at home watching Gossip Girl's Valentine special whilst making dangerously over indulgent cupcakes. Who needs man candy when I've got actual candy. Valentine's day what a perfect excuse to get fat and over indulge.   

Wish mine were as good as these...




Cute or what
