4 Quick and Easy Hairstyles

Hey Guys.
I hope you're good and I hope you have been sticking to your New Years Resolutions.
So today's post is going to be, 4 Quick and Easy Hairstyles. If you are like me then you will be needing a hairstyle that will take you less that 5 minutes, so these hairstyles will be perfect!


The first hairstyle is a High Ponytail. So the first thing you want to do is scrape your hair up to the top you your head. I tip my head upside down to get it to the top of my head. Then tie your hair with a hair tie. 


You can either leave it like this, or you can pull a few bits of hair out and mess it up a bit. I like to pull at the top of my head from the beginning of the Pony Tail.




I also like to add an accessorie. I think a head band, flower crown or a ribbon looks good. I actually got this from America, but New Look do good head bands.


Then you are done!!!!



 The second hairstyle is a Half Up Top Knot. The first thing you want to do it separate your hair into two. 

The top half should be a bit smaller than the bottom half. Then you want to tie the top half of your hair into a little ponytail on the top of your head. 





Then you are going to pull at the pony tail, loosing it a bit. If you want it to look neat and tight, then skip the last step.





The next thing is to take your ponytail and you want to twist it. Then you bring it around the beginning of the pony tail and tie the mini bun with another hair tie. 





The shape of the bun might be a bit weird, but you can pin bits down to get it to the shape you like. 

Then your done!!!!










Another hairstyle is the Half Up Half Down. This is super easy! So the first thing you will want to do is part your hair wherever you normally part it. Take a bit from your left side and pin it at the back of your head. 




Then take a bit from the right side and pin it as well. That's it! So quick!!


Then your done!!!!






The last hairstyle is the Messy Bun. The first step is going to be just the same are the High Ponytail. So tip your head upside down and tie your hair in a ponytail at the top. Then you are going to want to twist your hair around the base of the ponytail and secure that with another hair tie. 



Then you can shape your bun with some bobby pins and mess it up a bit. 


Then your done!!!!

A Weekend Away

Hey guys.
Hope you're good.

So on the 2nd January 2016 me and my family went away for a couple of nights to Bristol and I thought I would write about what I took and how to travel light. Some of you may hardly pack anything when you go away, but I always pack like I'm going away for weeks.
For the weekend we went on we did some caving, so I needed to pack something warm, but also something that can get messy.
I packed a pair of messy leggings and messy tracksuits so I was warm and a thermal top with a warm jumper. They gave us waterproof suits to put over the top and also took wellies. That's all I took for caving.
We went out for dinner a couple of times too, so I took, my Black Lace Up Wedge Boots, smart black leggings and a smart jumper. For the other night I took jeans and another jumper. I didn't take another pair of shoes, because its another thing to carry and they are comfy.
I did take swim wear and gym stuff for our spare time. I took my tankini, because a bikini wouldn't be right for a hotel. I also took my gym leggings and a gym top.
We did go around Bristol so I took more leggings, a casual jumper and my Nike Air Maxes.

For makeup I took my foundation, 2 concealers, bronzer, contour concealer, shimmer brick, blusher, eye palette, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick, lip crayon and my daily makeup brushes. So for makeup you could say I didn't really travel light.


I hope you liked this post

December Favourites

Hey Guys!
I have loved so many different things this December and I thought I would share with you my favourite things.

The first thing I have been loving is my Revlon 24hr ColourStay Foundation. This foundation is medium to full coverage but it doesn’t feel heavy or thick on the skin. blends really nicely and it is really easy to work with. I haven’t tried it for 24hrs, but when I wear it, it seems to last a long time. I would recommend it a lot.







The next thing that I have been loving this month is my Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick, in Pink Quartz. I got this for Christmas from my parents and I love it. Last year for my birthday I went to get my makeup done by Bobbi Brown and the lady used the Shimmer Brick on me. It gives a bronzed, blush and highlight effect and makes you look like you have healthy looking skin. It is a bit on the pricey side but I think it is worth it.







Another favourite of this month is the Seventeen Easy On The Eyes Palette in Birthday Suit. I also got this for Christmas but from my brother. It is a really nice nude palette. It has some matte eyeshadows and some shimmery, as well as coming with a primer and 3 cream eyeshadows. It comes with a dark berry shade to make it a bit more smoky.








This favourite has been a favourite of every month since I got it. Like I said before about going to Bobbi Brown for my birthday. Well when I had my makeup done by this lady, she used an incredible mascara. Its the Bobbi Brown Smoky Eye Mascara. The lady even said that it looked like I had fake eyelashes on, because it is so good. It gives so much volume and length and is just AMAZING!! I have quite long lashes, but they aren't curly, so when the lady used the mascara, it made them look curly.

The last favourite I have is shoes. I also got these for Christmas and I wear them everywhere I can. These are Black Lace Up Wedge Boots. They are high heels, but because they are wedges they are comfortable to wear. I like to wear them with black leggings or acid wash jeans. They are really well priced as well.

Quote Of The Week

"Don't change because a New Year is coming up but change for your own personal growth! No matter what resolutions you make, they start with YOU!"

New Years Resolution

Hey guys
Todays post is going to be my New Years Resolutions. 
I was struggling to think of a few resolutions, but I have finally got some. 

·      Be more healthy
         
I seem to find myself feeling very peckish a lot and I always eat chocolate or something unhealthy. I have tried so much to be healthy but it only lasts a few days or a week at maximum. 

·      Be more truthful

I always am trying to get myself out of things by either blaming other people or lying about things. I always feel guilty afterwards and if my brother is included, he always gets the blame for it and I feel so bad. 

·      Be more committed

When I am working at home, I feel like I don’t give it my fullest. My mum always says to me, that however much effort I put in now, will determine what I can do in the future. If I don’t get the grades I want, I might not be able to go to the places I want to go to e.g. universities 

I hope this has inspired you with your New Years Resolutions.

I hope you enjoyed this blog.
