Why I hated living in London

Living in London had its highs and lows, but mainly lows. I was living in the capital for 2 years for university, only to decide to move home for my 3rd year, because it all got too much. I was away from my friends, family, my dog and my boyfriend, adding sky-high rent prices and a job that didn't pay enough, I was constantly broke, refusing to use the money in my savings account, and refusing money from just about...

Make your own oat clusters

Okay so this is the easiest recipe for making oat clusters that brands like Jordans sell. I love the selection of cereals (can you call them that?) that Jordans sell, so I decided to make my own. I don't tend to measure how much of each I need, I just do it how I like it. I don't really like dried fruit, and a lot of recipes that I googled just had a lot of dried cranberries and raisins in them. But obviously if...

Nail Art #4 | Black & Yellow Nails

I used two coats of I Can't Cope-Acabana from OPI's Brazil Collection (a shimmery golden yellow, which I got from my June Birchbox), waited for it to dry, and then I drew a bunch of flower doodles on my nails, sealing with a top coat. I tend to doodle flowers a lot when I'm thinking, especially when I used to have lectures. My notes would be filled with little flowers, hearts and stars! This is such a lovely summer...

If you haven't seen my previous posts before, I've been taking Perfectil tablets for the past four weeks in an attempt to get thicker hair and stronger nails.

Argan Dew - Argan Oil & Mask review

Getting the perfect hair, skin & nails: Week 3

My hair seems to be getting thicker! I can tell because it's starting to get tangled and takes me longer to brush my hair with my Tangle Teezer. I read in a magazine that if you use hair masks more than once a week, it can damage your hair because of too much protein! I've always stuck to using a hair mask once a week anyway because I'm lazy. Upon closer inspection to the ends of my hair, I have noticed some split...

Nail Art #2 | On Wednesdays we wear pink

As i'm growing my nails, I use OPI by Nicole Nail Strengthener as the base coat. This week I'm wearing Essie's Pink About It, a pale pink with a slight shimmer to it. I outlined my nails using a striping brush with black polish, and topped it off with my favourite top coat, Seche Vite. I also used a cuticle oil once everything was sealed and dried. Jenny ...

Getting the perfect hair, skin and nails: week 2

It's now the second week (and a few days! Click here to see week 1) that I've been taking the Perfectil tablets. ARGH what is going on! My nails aren't very strong and i've had to cut some down to prevent the nail from being ripped off, which is mainly happening on my left hand. My right hand is still experiencing splitting. The nail serum seems to work best when it's applied on bare nails, although it says you...
