7 Tips For Gorgeously Grease Free Hair

How I Make My Hair Last A Week. 

Im a big fan of leaving my hair alone. I love letting it grow long and in order to do this I need it to be strong. Over washing your hair strips it of essential oils, prompting it to over compensate and produce more, leading you on a slippery slope to grease city. 

Of course there are many factors that effect the production of oil, including hormones, diet, and lifestyle, but here are some fail proof tips that I love that help you to wash your hair less & stay in tip top condition.

5 Minute Make up for On the Go

Being a 21st Century girl is tough! We are always on the go and that means we dont always have time to spend hours perfecting our look. These few products are small enough to fit in your make up bag, thrown in your day bag and can be applied on the go and touched up as and when you need, although they are all long lasting and never let me down through my day at work-and working in retail can get hot and stressful, if my make up can withstand that then it can withstand anything!

Happy New Years Day Lovelies!

I hope you are having a the best New Years where ever you are, whether you are nursing a hangover, out at work, or having a lazy day in in front of films.

This year I am giving a Bullet journal a go. I'm 100% one of those people who needs lists and organisation to function or else my life represents the jumbled mess that is the constant coming and going of ideas in my head. 

One aspect of Bullet journals that I love is a habit tracker. The idea of this is that you track aspects of your life to see how often you do them. The more you think about doing each of them the more likely you are to do them so it becomes habit, whether you want that to be daily weekly or monthly. You can then look through your journal and see if you are keeping to your goals. 

The NEW YEAR is all about trying new things so I have come up with 75 habit tracker ideas to inspire your own Habit Tracker Page.

Motivational Monday- Even miracles take a little time.

Its so easy at times to feel buried by everything you have going on. Especially when times are at their most difficult and the road ahead looks bleak.

You feel trapped, unsure, and at times question if theres any point continuing.

Just remember these moments, although painful and hard at the time, are NOT the end but really just the beginning, like chapters in a book or a plant being sewn. Its the dark and difficult times that lead to the bright and beautiful moments, whether this is by realising what you are doing is making you unhappy and taking a completely new direction, or whether the stress and hardship is worth the end success of a finished product and that beautiful sense of achievement.

Whatever you may be going through, life has a funny way of swinging around and bringing about good, so just hold on and you will burst through the ground into better times.

This quote sums my point up perfectly. You have to bury a bulb in order to see growth. Its when the bulb is buried that growth and development occurs. Eventually that bulb becomes a beautiful flower; this is how we have to think about life. The dark times are hard, but they make us who we are and lead us to the best versions of ourselves that we can be.

Happy Monday Lovelies <3

Who do you wear make up for? Motivational Monday #3

The other day I was watching this video by Zanna Van Dijk and honestly if you havent checked out her videos then you need to they are amazing! In the video Zanna was talking about learning to love herself and finally feeling like she doesnt need to wear make up which I think is so important for us girls in modern society...we should never feel like we have to wear make-up!

This then got me thinking about why I wear make up and furthermore, who I wear make up for. I concluded that the reason I wear make-up is that it makes me feel good. I am obsessed with finding new brands and products and finding new ways of doing my make up, (reducing the amount of brands that test on animals in my collection, is a huge one for me right now). I feel ready for the day when I have applied make-up and a red lip always makes me feel like I can conquer the world. 

However, I feel just as comfortable when I am not wearing make-up I will happily go for a run with no make up on my face what so ever and then go shopping afterwards, just as if its a sunday and I need something from the shop for one of my Sunday bakes I will happily walk up to the shop with no make up. I have no worries letting people in my flat see me with no make up on at night and in the mornings either.

I feel that wearing make-up in this way is healthy for me (and im in no way suggesting that my way is the best way). I feel happy that without thinking about it I wear make up for myself and no one else because I enjoy the process of choosing the products and playing with looks.

I definitely wasnt always this confident and used to wear concealer over any blemish when I was younger and apply a small amount of mascara, even going to the gym, as I didnt feel I looked old enough and wanted to look grown up. 

After many years of people exclaiming over the fact I look about 8 years younger than I actually am I am totally used to this now and really couldn't care less! 

 I would be really interested to hear other peoples thoughts on this matter and to motivate you to consider: why do you wear make up or not wear make up, and who do you wear it for?
