Tips On Growing Your Hair ♥

I realised that I would love to try something new and grow my hair. After Googling and YouTubing I found some easy tips on how to make growing your hair out that bit faster and easier. So today I shall share with you lovely lot my key tips on how to do so.


One; Try and wash your hair every other day, washing it every day strips out your natural oils. To keep your hair looking fresh use dry shampoo or baby powder in between washes.


 
 
Two; When drying your hair use a comb to untangle any knots as a brush is too harsh and breaks the ends. Use heat protector spray before applying heat as this forms a mineralising protection layer. Also when blow drying try not to use the hotest setting go for something in the middle.


Three; When sleeping put your hair into a plait to stop your hair rubbing together and damaging when you are rolling around in your sleep!
 

Four; Drink plenty of water! Being dehydrated is not going to help anything.


Five; HAIR MASKS. I can not even stress to you how much I love hair masks. Oh My Days. They add so much shine and moisture to your hair which makes it so much healthier.


Last but not least get your hair trimmed regularly to get rid of any split ends that slow down the growth rate. Or what I also do is just seek out the unwanted split ends myself and trim them off with small bathroom scissors. Just make sure you trim the very ends and not a noticeable amount!


Good Luck Lovelies

BarryM Gelly Collection ♥



These little babies are the means to and end for all other nail varnishes. I can not even describe to you guys how much I love them! When you apply the coloured varnish to your nails it paints on really thick so sometimes you only need the one layer. Once painted on your nails it seriously look like you have acrylics especially those of you with the longer nails. I went round my friends house and she asked me where I had my nails done!!! Such a compliment :') They come in a range of beautiful colours from cute pastel colours to the more vibrant ones. If you can't tell already they do have my highest recommendations especially as they last a good week :)

Chocolate Marshmallows Cake ♥


This is a cake for one of my girlies with an extremely sweet tooth. Basically its a chocolate fudge cake covered in a chocolate buttercream icing. I then made royal icing glued the marshmallows together in this pyramid structure. Then to finish it off I drizzled dark chocolate over the top to hide the icing and give it a special finishing touch.

Skittle Cake ♥

My little sisters birthday was coming up and her favourite sweets are skittles! I have seen this cake on facebook so it is not my original design. The cake inside is a chocolate fudge cake covered in a chocolate ganache then kitkats were pressed around the outside. After I just filled the top of the cake with skittles and tied a bow around the outside to keep everything stable. Lovelayyy ♥

My Boots Trip ♥

I have just had a mini boots haul as the time had come to try and test some new beauty products ♥

First I ventured to the 'BarryM' nail varnish collection as I feel that the range of colours is bigger and more up to date. The one I brought was called '309 Ice Cream Pink', this colour is a light pink which is really natural and  I find it goes with all of my clothes and styles for my everyday wear. £2.99
 
 
 
Next to go with my natural strawberry nails I thought I better get a natural looking lipstick that I can keep in my bag for everyday uses. '17' brand for me always do the best lippies. walked away in the end with a 'Mirror Shine Beehive' lipstick. This one for me seemed the most natural and suited for my skin tone. Also as a cheeky bonus there is a mirror that pops out of the lid, perfect when your on the go! £4.79
 
 
 
Now we all know these months are not the warmest and my hands tend to get extremely dry. I love having a mini hand moisturiser in my bag so when I'm on the go there is no need to worry about it. The best one I find is 'Soap & Glory' Body Butter with added Rose hip Seed Oil and Cocoa Butter does the job perfectly. It is oober small and you only need a little bit to cover your hands so for me it lasts ages! Plus it smells realllyyyyyy good :') £2.50
 
 
 
 
I don't know how many of you are Zoella fans but she is seriously a big idol to me and in her blog she was talking about a 'Denman' backcombing brush. Therefore I thought it would be extremely reasonable to go check it out for myself. This brush is honestly so useful, not really expensive and I find that even the handle is useful for sorting your hair when styling.Highly Recommend It!! £4.29

 
Finally as I had a bit of time on my hands I checked out the boots card offers machine. Honestly my boots card is like my little purse genie. Grants me so many offers and discounts and when there is enough points it gives me free goodies. BRILLIANT. Anywayssss I discovered a 25% off voucher for body spray so I brought the 'Impulse Temptaion'. This has got a lovely smell kind of sweet yet musky, perfect to have in my everyday bag. 25p with 25% off.

February Favourites ♥

Now we are in the month of march I shall share with you beautiful people my highlights of the chilly February .............

You tube - My faveee 5 youtubersss / videos of Februaryyyy areeee :
 
1. Any video from Jc Caylen links over derrrr >>>>>>
2. Arrjune Rasiah I don't know why his videos just crack me up :)
3. My very good mate Bethhh Wadeeeeee ♥
4. Joe West so talented this guy really needs to get noticed and signed up!!!!
5. Finally I just thought artist was amazing, Stick with it, it gets better :)


Music - This is my February top 5:
 
1. Thrift Shop - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
2. Wonderful - Angel 
3. Stay - Rihanna ft. Mikky Ekko
4. It Wasn't Me - Shaggy
5. Antidote - Swedish House Mafia
 

Food -

The month of February has been a very healthy one for me actually as I am trying to get my bikini body ready for summer. aha! For a snack I highly recommend Ryvita originals with marmite and dairy lee soft cheese. This snack honestly can keep me going right through  to dinner without having a massive lunch. Also my favourite lunchtime meal this month has to be pasta with roasted courgette and aubergine as it is very healthy and the pasta keeps your energy levels up all the way through the afternoon and it is extremely easy to cook. Plus its a good meal to have at dinner before a dance class as high in energy and very slow releasing so it keeps you going for longer!

Live, Love, Laugh ♥

When there is nothing good going on, everyone seems to be on your shoulders, that little black cloud won't budge from your head and it seems like everyone and everything is not going the way you want to, you feel like giving up. I have a little board with some of my favourite quotes on to help boost myself up a bit when I'm in this kind of a mood. These are my favourite ones to try and help you beautiful people feel better if your ever feeling down:

1. Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you'll land among the stars
2. Live, Love, Laugh
3. Let your smile change the world, but don't let the world change your smile
4. Good friends are like stars, you don't always see them but you know they are always there
5. Don't make promises when your happy and don't make decisions when your angry
6. Your smile looks so good on you, you should wear it more often
7. Impossible = I'm possible
8. Be yourself ... everyone else is taken
9. Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.
10. The best reason for having dreams is that in dreams no reasons are necessary.

Beautiful Creatures Mini Review ☼


This film is about a mystical, magical girl moving into a new town and falling in love with a mortal boy and with each others love they try and fight for good and for each other. This is such a romantic 'feel good' film with snippets of comedy running through it, I actually caught myself smiling at several occasions! I didnt previously read the book but I have been told that the film was completely different but equally as good. All the main characters especially the gorgeous Alden Ehrenreich who plays Ethan Wate had exceptional acting skills his character seemed so collected and romantic all the way through. The two lovers ethan and lena are the perfect couple, so natural and at peace around each other its truly heart warming. All the actors in this movie are not typically 'beautiful' ideal drop dead gorgeous people and are not actors/actress' that we all know and recognise giving the film a new fresh quality. Ngl I highly recommend going to watch this beautifully created movie I would happily go watch it again! 5 STARS!

January Favourites ♥

So now we are all in the very chilly month of February and thought i would share with you guys my favourite things of January wooo!
 
YouTube - To start off with I strangely got very addicted to a youtuber called Jc Caylen. I didn't really know any American youtubers before this guy but now I watch him and all his mates they all seem to appear in each others videos and on a main channel called O2L (Our second Life). Not gunna lie really hot and oober funny. He has 4 channels that I will post the links to belowwwww .... Checkkkk themmmm out!!!!

 

Music - This is my January top 5:
1. Hunter Hayes - Wanted
2. Kanye West, Jay-Z, Big Sean - Clique
3. Kid Cudi - Pursuit of Happiness
4. Dj Fresh - Gold Dust
5. Ellie Goulding - Anything Could Happen


 
Food  - I do love food and I think my January favourite has to be foam bananas OMG I think these little bursts of amazingness have to be featured!
 


Also I have really taken to Bournville Dark Chocolate. As soon as you put it in your mouth it just covers everything in rich dark chocolaty yumminess :') Plus its better for you than a normal milk or plain chocolate bar as you only tend to eat a few rich succulent squares instead of a whole bar ♥

Something to try this month - is the American pop tarts everyone is talking about them and as they have only recently come into the UK everyone is going crazy!!! o.0 Might just have to buy a pack and write a whole blog page on a review ;)

...mmm... ♥

One of the things I told you guys in my intro was that I LOVE to bake. So for today's blog I thought to create a page to show you 5 of my highlights that I created last year...mmm...
 
To start off with this was the cake I made for family friends it went down so well and I call it the 'Chocolate Marshmallow Dulux' ...mmm...
 
  
Next was a cheeky cheesecake project and this strawberry yumminess managed to appear >.< A white chocolate cheesecake filling with a strawberry coulis, a half dipped in milk chocolate strawberry ontop with a strawberry wall to surround the yumminess. 
 
 
Umm for the third highlight I think my Strawberry Chocolate Roulade has to come into light it was a random summer thing which was veryyyy yummy ^.^
 
 
I was asked to make a family friends 50th birthday cake, I did make everything on the cake apart from the ribbons x Sorry for bad picture, I'm not a photographer :$ 
 
 
Finallyyyyy the last of my 2013 highlights is a Dark Chocolate and Lime Heart Cheesecake for valentines Day  ♥ 

 


My friends 17th Birthday was coming up and she asked me to bake her a birthday cake and this is what I came up with! A two tier victoria sponge with buttercream all over and strawberry jam in the middle surrounded by white sugar paste. The cheeky blue spots where just a bonus really >.< ♥

 
 Just some sugar flowers I crafted at the weekend ♥
