The Perfect Tan | The Count Down To Summer


Hello my lovelies!

 I really haven’t been keeping up with my weekly postings and I’m super sorry! Exams and the heat have really been taking up all my time. But no worries, I’m back with another post about The Count Down To Summer!

I’m going to beautiful Italy this summer and I’m going to be at the beach everyday and I know I ant to do everything I can to get the darkest tan I can and then keep it for the longest time possible! Even if your not going anywhere special and your just going to be tanning at the park or even in your garden this post will still be useful to you.

1-  Drink plenty of water, as you need to keep hydrated, if your not hydrated your skin wont take in the tan as much!
2-  Use sunscreen! This is a must as you’ll just burn and your tan is more likely to peel. Also you want to be protected from skin cancer.
3-    Eat a carrot a day! This might just be an old wives tale but I swear by it.
4-    After a few days of tanning naturally you can use tanning oils which help tan faster and dark but I wouldn’t recommended this for people with fairer skin.
5-   Try to alternate from front to back regularly and for the same period of time, I always forget to.
6-   Use after tan which keep moisturizes and keep you tanned longer.
   
   P.S dont for get your lips can burn too so always use a lipbalm with SPF.

Obviously I’m no expert but this is simply what I’ve been told over the years and what I found works best for me.

Till next time

The Playlist | The Count Down To Summer


Hello my lovelies!

As you know if you read my I’ve started getting fit for summer and I’ve posted a work out routine already but I think that a really important thing to have when you work out is an awesome playlist.

I really struggled to find the perfect one so I just made my own!

My work out playlist:
-       Bounce by Iggy Azalea
-       Feelin’ Myself by will.i.am
-       Wop by Flo Rida and J Dash
-       Turn Down for What by DJ Snake and Lil Jon
-       Waves by Mr.Probz
-       La La La by Shakira
-       Nobody To Love by Sigma
-       Run Run Run by Celeste Buckingham

These are just my current favorite songs which motivates me during my work out but this obviously isn’t the right playlist for everyone.

A great App or website to find your perfect Playlist is 8tracks, it literally has something for everyone, every different mood and location!

Till next time

Primark Fashion Nails Review


Hello my lovelies!

Recently I’ve come across the Fashion Nails collection in Primark Beauty and there amazing! At first I wasn’t sure if I would like them but they only cost me £1 so I thought ‘why not try them’.They are by far the most amazing false nails I’ve ever tried! Primark carries a load of different colours and designs but I just picked the most basic ones.



Every time I wore the nails I received a ton of compliments on how natural they looked and where I had gotten them done, everyone was so surprised when I told them they were just a pound in Primark. The next time I go into Primark I’m definitely stocking up!

Till next time
