Pets<3

Hey guys!

This is a little post about caring for your pets! If you don't have any then wait until your older and see if you can get one:)

So first of all for cats and dogs you treat them differently. I have both a cat and a dog and trust me they are different! My cat only likes me (as weird as that sounds) and kind of some other people but not that much. She is a Bengal so that kind of makes sence though. I also have a dog that likes my sister and my mum more! She's a whippet and they are very cuddley but sleepy but energetic when they want to be! They are also very fast so whenever I take her on her walks she loves running and as you know whippets are one of the fastest dogs so I give up in the end and let her off the lead! Anyway let's get to how to care for them!

You leave food out for cats all day every day and leave food for dogs out at certain times!

They also have different things they can eat and that they like!

Also their personalitys are quite different as cats like to be outside and catch things and run and hide, unless if they are house cats then they are still similar because either way a cat is they secretly love to lay on you or with you. With dogs they LOVE being outside if they aren't lazy and they love to run around and play. Even lazy dogs like it outside once they get outside.

Make sure you don't forget about them though! Even if you have a rabbit, hamster, fish etc. you still need to remember to look after them and get them things to play with, eat, drink, somewhere to sleep and other things! 

Thanks for reading❤️

How to test makeup

HEY GUYS!!!!

Sorry I haven't posted in ages!! I have been caught up in homework:(

First of all I am going to talk about testing foundation and concealer! So some people have different colour hands too their faces so you can use your arm or your jaw line, the jaw line works best but some people will find that unhygienic so you can use your arm!

Second of lip gloss and lipstick, I wouldn't reccomend putting it on your lips as it's very unhygienic as you don't know who has touched it so... Obviously instead use the back of your hand.

Last of all eyeshadow, I also wouldn't recommend testing this on your eyes as you could get an infection, it depends how lucky you are. You also can test this on your hand, wrist or arm.

Thanks, sorry that was all but I will be doing more!

Nail hacks

Hey guys!

I feel really grumpy because everytime I go too upload my post it deletes it all so this is going to be the fourth time I write this.. Uhhhh I guess it will be okay as I type really fast when I'm angry. Okay so I will get on with it.

Firstly, use a first coat of a product where it's see through when it dries, basically what it does is it peels off so when you paint over it it doesn't take hours and hours too get off.

Secondly, when you get a manicure paint top coat over it everyday or every other day because it helps it stay secure and not chip! Also if you don't want a colour you can just have shiny nails and make them look a bit nicer.

Thirdly, remember too paint the sides of your nails as it's extremely annoying when people have massive gaps and it has a big effect on what your nails look like after! Because you don't want just the middle painted.

Lastly, nail varnish is bad for your skin so when you get some on your fingers if your quick enough wipe it off and if not use nail varnish remover. If you can't remove it very well with what your using to apply the remover with then use a cotton bud and go along the edges! It really helps.

Thankyou for reading my posts, I post everyday so check out my posts and I hope you enjoy them! Also just scroll down to the bottom to check if it's my post or Holly's.

I post everyday and we were going to post one at a time. But now holly posts about five times a day and I try too only post once or twice. So let us know in the comments the order of the posts you want to see and who from.

How to do this

What you do is you get a highlighter or a highlighting colour and put it on the inner corner of your eye.
Then put a purple on the outer corner and blend into the highlight. You put a tap of highlight in the center of the eye lid and then its done. Put eyeliner on if you want to (thinly) and apply mascara.

Hair care

Hey guys!

I'm going to share my hair care routine and things that help keep your hair healthy!

Firstly, I know that I used to do this because it's easier but try not to brush your hair as much when its wet as it weakens your roots. Also brush your hair from the bottom to the top and also not too hard as you can rip your hair.

Secondy, if you straighten, curl, crimp or do anything to do with heat against your hair then, if you have enough money then I would recommend heat protectant spray.

Thirdly and lastly, make sure that if your hair starts to weaken or become dry then I reccomend to wash your hair and put conditioner where its dry.

I have a couple more tips so if you made it to reading down to here then please comment anything about hair care that you want to know and I will either answer you or make a post about it.

Baby lips reveiw

Hey guys!

Today I'm going to be doing a baby lips reveiw! I know that everyone loved baby lips a while ago now but I felt that I still use them and they are amazing!

I reccomend trying them out or if you have one to use it more often if you don't use it much. It makes my lips feel really smooth and they help to make my lips more moistured. I think that they would also be good too carry around. There are also different collections.

This is the Limited Edition Collection in Neon

The smell of all the baby lips are really nice! I love the smell of them. They mostly smell different.

I have a couple and one of them is like a lipstick and it also leaves my lips mousturised like the plain lip balm ones.

Detox Water Recipe

Hey guys!
 

 This post is about my very own handmade Natural Belly Slimming Detox Water. I drink this for a week out before a photo shoot or big event to help me flush my body of toxins and to debloat. I drink at least eight 8 oz cups or more depending on my activity level. Not only does this taste good…it works.
Here’s the recipe for the Natural Belly Slimming Detox Water:
(for one 24 oz serving)
– 3-5 slices of fresh cucumber
– 1/2 small lemon sliced
– 1/4 of orange sliced
– a few fresh mint leaves
– 24 oz of ice cold water
Why does this work?
*Cucumbers prevent water retention and also have many anti-inflammatory properties.
*Lemon provides the cleansing effect of citric acid to help clear out the digestive syste
*Oranges contain flavonoids in the peel and juice that stimulate the immune system and protects against a fungi/pests while helping to reduce cholesterol levels
*Mint helps the body digest more easily and it also soothes any stomach cramps you may have.
Keep in mind that the more you refill your jug, glass or bottle with the same fruits, the more diluted and less nutrient-dense the fruit becomes. So I would recommend that after 2 or 3 refills, dump it and replace with fresh cuts to make sure you get all the vitamins and minerals you need. I also wouldn’t leave the fruits in there for more than 24 hrs before changing it

Hope you enjoyed this guys, If you have any more healthy ideas or things you want me to post I will, Comment below!!

How to get rid of pimples/spots

Hey Everyone,
I'm Kind of obsessed with posting 10 step help rn, so heres another one

 RANDOM FACTS ON SPOTS :D

 Pimples are a normal skin condition that affect many people. Pimples are an inflammation of the skin in which the sebaceous glands (oil glands) become infected with bacteria, swell up, and fill with pus. Excess sebum secretion by the oil glands is the primary cause behind this problem. Pimples generally occur on the face, neck, back and shoulders. Though not a critical condition, pimples can make a person feel miserable due to their appearance.

There are a lot of lotions and medicines on the market to treat pimples but they can take time. Many natural methods are effective in treating pimples within a very short time period.

Here are the top 10 ways to get rid of pimples fast.

1. Ice

Ice can be used to quickly get rid of pimples. It helps in improving blood circulation to the affected area, and in freezing the skin pores and removing dirt and oil accumulated on the skin. You can use ice cubes or crushed ice, whichever is convenient.

1. Wrap the ice in a piece of cloth and hold it on the affected skin area for a few seconds.
2. Wait a few minutes and repeat the process.

When used repeatedly on the pimples throughout the day, ice helps reduce inflammation or swelling and will immediately soothe your skin.

2. Lemon

Another quick way to get rid of pimples is the use of lemon juice, which is rich in vitamin C. Lemon juice helps pimples dry up faster. Be sure to use fresh lemon juice and not bottled juice, which has preservatives. There are a couple of ways to apply this remedy.

• Dip a clean cotton swab in fresh lemon juice and apply it to the pimples before going to bed.
• You can also make a paste by mixing one tablespoon of lemon juice with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and put it on the pimples overnight. In the morning, wash the skin well with lukewarm water. However, this particular remedy is not suitable for those with sensitive skin.

3. Honey

Honey is a source of natural antibiotics that can speed up the healing process, as well as help prevent infections.

1. Dip and clean cotton swab in honey, put it directly on the affected area and leave it on for half an hour.
2. Wash the skin well with lukewarm water.

Another option is to mix honey and cinnamon together to make a paste and applying it over the pimples before going to bed. In the morning, there will be less inflammation or swelling. Wash the skin well with cold water.

4. Toothpaste

The toothpaste that you use every morning to clean your teeth also can be used to treat pimples quickly. It is most effective when used following the ice remedy. You must use white toothpaste; avoid using gel toothpaste.

1. Apply some white toothpaste over the affected skin area before going to bed.
2. In the morning, wash your face with water and you will see a significant improvement in the swelling.

If you wish, you can repeat the process in the daytime also. Just make sure the toothpaste remains on the pimples for at least half an hour.

5. Steam

Steaming is wonderful for your skin at any time, but particularly when you have pimples. The steam will open your pores and allow your skin to breathe. This helps get rid of oils, dirt and bacteria trapped in the pores that can cause infection or inflammation.

1. Fill a large container with hot water and allow the steam to come in contact with your face for a few minutes.
2. Rinse your face with lukewarm water and, after drying, apply an oil-free moisturizer.

This treatment will also give your complexion a lovely glow.

6. Garlic

Garlic is an antiviral, antifungal, antiseptic and antioxidant agent that can help in the fast treatment of pimples. The sulfur in garlic also promotes quick healing of pimples.

1. Cut a fresh garlic clove into two pieces.
2. Rub the garlic on the pimples and leave it for five minutes before washing the skin with lukewarm water.
3. Repeat the treatment several times a day.

Eating one raw garlic clove daily can also help purify your blood. But do not to eat too much raw garlic as it can upset the stomach.

7. Baking Soda

Baking soda is a good option for all, but especially those with sensitive skin because it will not cause any kind of skin irritation.

1. Make a thick paste by mixing one teaspoon of baking soda with some water or lemon juice.
2. Wash your skin well, leaving it slightly damp. Apply the paste on the affected areas and allow it to dry for a few minutes. Never keep baking soda on your skin for longer than a few minutes as it can cause dryness.
3. Wash your face with warm water and apply a moisturizer.
4. Repeat the process twice a day for quick results.

8. Peppermint

Peppermint is a powerful herb that can help eliminate pimples very fast. The calming, soothing effect of the menthol present in peppermint helps reduce the irritation and redness caused by pimples. Its antibacterial and antiviral properties also help kill bacteria that causes pimples.

1. Crush some peppermint leaves to extract the juice.
2. Apply the juice gently on your pimples and leave it for 10 minutes.
3. Wash your skin with cold water.

If fresh peppermint leaves are not available, you can use peppermint oil, which contains a number of vitamins and essential fatty acids. Take two to three drops of peppermint oil and apply it on your pimples. Massage the oil for a few minutes and then rinse with water.

9. Cucumber

Cucumber is a rich source of potassium and vitamins such as A, C and E. It also has a cooling and soothing effect on the skin.

1. Cut one or two fresh cucumbers into pieces and soak them in water for about an hour. The nutrients, such as vitamin A, potassium and chlorophyll will transfer to the water.
2. Strain the water and drink it, or use the water to wash your face.

You can also make a face mask by grinding one cucumber. Apply the mask on your face and allow it to dry for 15 minutes. Wash your skin with warm water. This will help clean dirt and bacteria from your pores.

10. Papaya

Papaya fruit has a number of properties that help in the treatment of pimples. It is a good source of the antioxidant vitamin A, and it has enzymes that help reduce inflammation and make your skin soft and smooth. In addition, the exfoliating capability present in papaya will remove dead skin cells and help clear clogged pores. It is simple to use — just crush raw papaya pieces to extract its juice and apply it over the pimples.

A little trick with dark circles

Hola Everyone!
I have really bad dark under circles (LACK OF SLEEP OR CRYING/RUBBING MY EYES) and lately I have been doing this and they are fading away.

Everyday cut two slices of cucumber, place them on your eyes then the juice will make your circles fade away, do this for 10-15 minutes everyday.

THIS IS A 2in1 Post!!!!
HOW TO GET RID OF THEM AND AVOID THEM

 So this is the top 10 ways that i know..

1. Almond Oil

Almond oil is a great natural ingredient that is very beneficial for the delicate skin around your eyes. Regular usage of almond oil will help fade your under eye circles. In addition to almond oil, you can use vitamin E oil to eliminate dark circles under the eyes.

1. Before going to bed, apply a little almond oil over the dark circles and gently massage it into the skin.
2. Leave it on overnight.
3. The next morning, wash it off with cold water.
4. Follow this remedy daily until the dark circles disappear.

2. Cucumber

Cucumbers have skin-lightening and mild astringent properties that help fix those raccoon eyes naturally. Plus, they have a soothing and refreshing effect.

• Cut a fresh cucumber into thick slices and chill them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Put the slices onto the affected skin area for about 10 minutes. Wash the area with water. Repeat twice daily for about a week or more.
• Another option is to mix cucumber juice with lemon juice in equal amounts. Use a cotton ball to apply the mixture on the affected skin. Leave it on for 15 minutes and then wash it off with water. Follow this remedy daily for at least one week.

3. Raw Potato

There are natural bleaching agents present in potato that can help lighten dark circles and get rid of puffiness around the eyes.

• Grate one or two chilled potatoes to extract the juice. Soak a cotton ball in the juice and place it over your closed eyes. Make sure the juice covers the dark circles under your eyes as well as the eyelids. Allow the juice to sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse your eyelids well with cool water. Repeat once or twice daily for a few weeks.
• Instead of potato juice, you can also use thick potato slices to remove dark circles.

4. Rose Water

Rose water has incredible ingredient for skin care. It rejuvenates the skin and has a soothing effect on tired eyes. Due to its mild astringent properties, it also works as a good skin toner.

1. Soak cotton eye pads in pure rose water for a few minutes.
2. Put the soaked pads on your closed eyelids.
3. Leave them on for about 15 minutes.
4. Follow this remedy twice daily for a few weeks.

5. Tomato

Tomatoes have bleaching properties that can lighten skin to a great extent.

• Mix one teaspoon of tomato juice with one-half teaspoon of lemon juice. Gently apply this mixture on the dark circles and allow it to sit for 10 minutes. Rinse it off with water. Follow this remedy twice a day for a few weeks. Simply using tomato juice will also work.
• You can also drink a glass of tomato juice with some mint leaves, lemon juice and salt. For maximum results, be sure to drink this juice immediately after making it. Drink it once or twice a day for about a week.

6. Lemon Juice

The vitamin C present in lemon juice can also help remove dark circles under the eyes, thanks to its skin-lightening properties.

• Use a cotton ball to apply fresh lemon juice around your eyes. Leave it on for about 10 minutes and rinse it off. Do this once daily for a few weeks.
• Another option is to make a thick paste by mixing one tablespoon of lemon juice, two tablespoons of tomato puree, a pinch of gram flour (besan) and turmeric powder. Apply this thick paste gently around your eyes. Rinse it off with clean water after 10 to 15 minutes. Repeat two or three times every week.

Note: If the lemon juice causes a burning sensation then discontinue its use.

7. Coconut Oil

Massaging with coconut oil is another effective natural remedy to lighten dark circles. Due to its moisturizing quality, coconut oil also promotes smooth skin and prevents wrinkles and fine lines under eyes.

1. Simply massage some extra-virgin coconut oil on the under eye area.
2. Leave it on for a few hours, and then wash it off.
3. Repeat two to three times daily for a few months or until you are satisfied with the results.

8. Tea Bags

The caffeine and antioxidants present in tea can be highly beneficial for getting rid of dark circles as well as puffiness under eyes by shrinking the blood vessels and reducing fluid retention. The tannins, in particular, help decrease swelling and discoloration.

1. Chill two used green or black tea bags in the refrigerator for about half an hour.
2. Place one tea bag over each eye and leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Remove the tea bags and wash your face.
4. Repeat once or twice daily for a few weeks.

Note: Be careful not to get the tea in your eyes.

9. Cold Compress

Cold compress can constrict the blood vessels under the eyes and help a lot in reducing eye puffiness and dark circles.

• Soak a washcloth in cold water or cold milk. Put it over your closed eyelids for several minutes.
• Alternatively, you can wrap a few ice cubes in a soft napkin and place it under your eyes for a few minutes. You can also use a bag of frozen peas, a chilled teabag or a cold spoon.

Follow these remedies a few times daily.

10. Turmeric

Turmeric has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that can help minimize dark circles. It will also make the skin around your eyes smoother and softer.

1. Mix two teaspoons each of turmeric powder with pineapple juice to make a thick paste.
2. Apply this paste to the affected area.
3. Leave it on for about 10 minutes before wiping it away with a soft, damp cloth.
4. Do this daily until you get positive results.

Additional Tips

• Get adequate sleep and rest.
• Avoid rubbing your eyes too much or too often as it causes the blood vessels to dilate, thus making the under eye circles appear darker.
• Remove your make-up before going to sleep or else it may irritate your eyes.
• Limit sun exposure.
• Drink plenty of water throughout the day to get rid of water retention that could be causing the problem.
• To avoid eye bags caused by pooling of fluids in your lower eyelids, elevate your head by adding two or more pillows under your head before going to sleep.
• Pay attention to your diet and eat foods rich in vitamins A, C and E.
• Stop smoking and restrict alcohol and caffeine consumption; smoking damages skin cells, and alcohol and caffeine contribute to dehydration which in turn weakens the delicate skin around the eyes.

Music to match any mood

Hey Everyone.

Music. It’s an incredible thing. The right track can aid concentration, give you a little extra oomph to get through a day and bring on a flood of emotions. It can inspire, uplift and alter our lives and health. For me, music plays an integral part in my daily life. The right track sparks creativity, so I’m listening to new jams all the time while working. My love for music is part of the reason I started my record label this year. The label will allow me to channel my love for new music while giving those who deserve exposure a chance to shine.

Since I’ve noticed music playing more and more of a role in my life, and believe in its ability to make us happier, healthier and more connected, I couldn’t help but share some songs that I think you all will love. Here are five tracks to get you through just about any task you can imagine.

1. Vaults – Vultures

For those moments when you’re feeling a little down or trying to mend a broken heart, this new Vaults track will soothe your soul. According to research sad music can aid your recovery and this track is just too beautiful not to help.  I love the powerful female vocals – this song gives me chills.

2. OK Go – I Won’t Let You Down

How could I not include this song?! Not only is the video absolutely amazing, it’s a great track to motivate. Throw this on the next time you’re at the gym or need a pick me up in your car and you’ll power through your drive or workout just fine. Also, where can I get one of those scooter? ;)

3. Honne – Warm on a Cold Night

If you’re in a relationship or looking for a little soul (I’m talking to you Sam Smith and Jamie Lidell fans), this Honne song is for you. Like Vultures, this song will latch on to your heart, but this time in an uplifting, cozy way. The british duo may become your soundtrack of love once their full length album comes out.

4. Tove Lo – Not On Drugs

Tove Lo’s entire debut album should make it into your “getting ready for girls night out” mix. Her songs are infectious and upbeat. Pretty sure they can induce a dance party in seconds. Plus, I love females who make waves and are unapologetic about their choices – Tove Lo has a good grasp on being yourself and working hard to get where you want to be, something you’ll learn in your 20s.

5. Nyctalgia – Time Changes Everything

Some people need silence to study and relax, but I find that when I need to retain information or want to cool down from a busy day, music can work wonders. This track by the impressive Nyctalgia (started by self-taught musician Silvio Pfiffner) may be a few years old, but the ambient and classical sound is breathtaking. It doesn’t hurt that this type of music can be associated with higher productivity either.

What’s your favorite song right now? Let me know what you like to listen to below.

The Best Foundation For Girls Who Hate Applying It

Almost every flawless face starts with applying an even base. That means concealing where needed and then smoothing everything out with foundation. However, for the girl who focuses on wild eyes and bold lips instead of spending the time to blend and brush her foundation to perfection, there are a few products that will make foundation application bearable, quick and maybe even a little enjoyable.

The Cream - A cream foundation is ideal for the ultimate lazy girl. It can be very forgiving when blended out and won’t risk some of the visible signs of “rookie makeup girl” other formulas expose. Cream foundations that provide full coverage and can be smoothed out with a sponge quickly become your best friend in this case. Giorgio Armani Maestro Cream Compact will work wonders on your skin and be forgiving if you don’t know how to evenly apply the foundation. The trick is to work from the center of the face with the product and smooth towards your hair line. And remember, you can build up more product, so no need to get carried away immediately. This compact is also a great size for storing in your purse after you’ve ran out the door mid application.
The Powder - Powder foundations are fabulous for brushing over your face quickly, especially on barely-there makeup days – just a bit of mascara and some gloss. Powders can deliver even coverage and tend to be great for oily skin, however they can sometimes be messy, cakey and accentuate fine lines – which does no one any favors. Avoid these cons with powder products that leave a mattified, yet glowing look to your skin. If using a loose powder, try Laura Mercier Mineral Powder. This powder even helps fight again aging! If a pressed powder compact for on-the-go needs is desired, Bobbi Brown Illuminating Finish Powder Compact Foundation not only delivers light to medium coverage depending on if you apply wet or dry, but it includes a sponge and offers a range of colors to match your skin perfectly without a lot of work.
The Liquid - Applying a liquid foundation usually means you’re dabbing and blending with a brush or smoothing out product with your hands. If you like to keep your hands clean and aren’t one to have a makeup brush for every purpose, then try a foundation pen. The LORAC Touch-Up to Go Concealer/Foundation Pen is not only the perfect size for your purse (touch ups whenever you need), but its dual use for concealing and covering imperfections with the built in brush and light formula mean foundation application only takes a few minutes. A pen applied liquid also gives you a natural finish without having to blast fluorescent lights on every angle of your face to make sure you have no visible foundation lines.
How do you apply your foundation? Do you wear it daily or only on occasions when you wear full makeup?

My photography

Hey guys!

As Holly's last post was photography it inspired me too share mine

For my last birthday my grandparents bought me a camera, now this camera is used by some photographers as I've seen on the internet, I can't remember what it's called but I will take a picture of it. I really wanted it and I got it so I was extremely happy!

There are lots of effects on my camera but I decided to take a picture of a flower with no effects too see how it would turn out... I really love this picture, it's not my best but I really like it.

I took this picture in my garden!

All credits too me on this picture and also please don't steal it!! I will check what my camera is called and tell you in another photography post!

Thankyou.
