I LOVE Britain :)

Well, everyone always moans about Britain..'It's too cold' , 'The weathers crap' , 'There's nothing to do' etc etc, you get my point. Well, truth be told I actually LOVE Britain, it's got originality, and tbh I don't like hot weather as I get very mardy therefore 'British weather' suits me perfectly. :) It's also got some word-known landmarks such as Big Ben, and Buckingham Palace.

1) The music! (L) Some AMAZING music comes from the UK. Take note.. Arctic Monkeys, Amy Winehouse, Kasabian, Leona Lewis, Calvin Harris, Pixxie Lott, Little Boots, Alexandra Burke, Girls Aloud, Lily Allen, Duffy and LOADS more all came from Britain.

2) The Fashion! (L) London's Fashion Week is truely IMMENSE! (L) I love fashion and I personally think British fashion is one of the best around. Yeah, Italian/French/American is always amazing too, but I always find that Britsh fashion has an edge to it, it makes it it's own, and stands out far more than others.

3) The WEATHER! It's probably one of the most inpredictable weather systems in the world [Can you tell I did Geog for GCSE? ;)] but it's a huge part of what Britain is. However, I do love our weather! I get to wear wellies one day, then the next the Gladiators are out with the shorts and crop top, compared to the day after when it's back to wellies and a thick coat/hoodie all over again!

4) British food! (L) Yeah, my favourite food of all time is curry and pasta [Obviously not together, lol!] However, I think British food, such as a good Sunday dinner, and Fish n' Chips is what put Britain on the map. Fish n' chips, on the beach at 11pm at night, watching the sunset and laying on the beach, I LOVE IT!
Fab chefs such as Gordan Ramsey and Jamie Oliver all came from England, and they do very very very tasty dishes!

5) BRITISH BOYS! (L) Phwroahhh! It's something about a typical British boy that I somehow love! ALOT of boys are Indie looking, and that teamed with brown hair, a tall height, and an athletic build, oh and either a Liverpudlian or London accent..that is a description of my perfect British boy! Course, I never get one..but I can dream! :) haha!


Please tell me your favourite parts about where you live! :)

Soap and Glory! :)

I've been meaning to write this for ages, but I absolutely LOVE Soap and Glory. Yeah.. it is kinda expensive, and in this economy at the moment, it aint good, but the money paid is money well spent! It gives great results on everything I've tried, so it is very much well recommended by me!
These are my top 2 bestbuys from Soap and Glory:

Soap and Glory - Flake Away body scrub.
I LOVE THIS! It smells gorgeous, and it really does leave your skin so smooth it is untrue! It's £6.36, but if you buy it at Boots you get 24 points! And all those points add up! :) Deffo a recommend!
Soap and Glory - Dr Spot Invisible Spot Fighting Gel.
This gel is AMAZING! It smells nice, and it also soaks into your skin within a couple of minutes, so if you're going to bed then you don't get gel all over your covers etc. It is also great for wearing in the day under some makeup, or if you're brave enough [unlike me!] to go barefaced. It's £6.88, and worth 24 points at Boots. I've had the same bottle for about a month now, and I haven't used it all yet, eventhough I've used it more or less everyday to tame the spots! It's a great recommendation, and I will deffo be buying some more soon!

Banish the straightners for a while, the kinks are in ;)







Well, I've decided that I'm going to stop using straightners for a month, to help my hair and give it a healthy glow instead of it being frazzled every two days when I would usually straighten it. Instead of straightening I've opted to having a shower at night and while my hair is still sopping wet, french plaiting it in either 2 french plaits of 4 if you want it extra curly. I sleep in them over night, and in the morning they're dry and still smell of my lovely shampoo [Lee Strafford Poker Straight is the one I'm using at the moment, I love it! Recommend it alot!] Before you undo the plaits spray hairspray on your hair as it helps the curls stay in longer (Kate aka toothpoastekisses, told me this! :) ] Leave a few minutes, and then undo the plaits. Finishing with a spray on hairspray and I also use Lee Strafford humidiffier, leave it quite messy and put a headband on your forehead and you're ready to go!
