My Evening Routine

Hello everybody! I've been wanting to do an evening routine for a while now, so here it is.

I stop work around 4:30-5:00 (if you didnt know, i'm currently doing home school).




 Then i tend to get something to eat, and a bottle of water, while watching YouTube or Netflix ( Pretty Little Liars!!)
I have dinner with my family (  today we had spaghetti bolognese, it was amazing!)
I would say i do something productive , some days i do, but mostly i keep on watching YouTube and Netflix.....(No Shame!).

Time to get ready for bed. The first thing i do is tie my hair up and cleanse my face with the Garnier 3 in 1 scrub, cleanser and mask. I'm sure I've talked about this in one of my favorites posts is well! And then of course i wash it of with                                                           cold water.


Then i put on the fool-proof Simple Replenishing Moisturizer, this stuff is so good!



Next i clean my teeth, you always need to have good hygiene guys!

 Then i hop into bed, on most days i plan future blog posts and stuff like that and read a book. At the moment i'm reading Love Tanya by Tanya Burr. 



I also listen to my audible book on my phone, at the moment i'm listening to Geek Girl by Holly Smale.

Finally after a good half an hour on my phone (procrastinating!) i fall asleep!

Hope you guys liked my evening routine! Stay tuned for Wednesday because i'm doing a collab with +Kelsey Barker .

Another thing, can you notice something? I'm using my own pictures finally!

So, as you can see, I've changed my blog header and theme. I just want my blog to seem a bit simpler, my other one just distracted you from the reading, i hope you like the new header and theme! I really love the dream catcher! If you have any more tips and tricks then comments will be much appreciated.

Hair Care Tips!

Welcome back to my blog guys! Today's post is going to be on how to keep your hair longer and healthier. Enjoy!

1. At the end of your shower give your hair a good rinse with cold water, i know its annoying especially in winter, but it keeps your hair healthy!

2. Use coconut oil on your hair, focusing on the tips, and leave in a plait over-night. Then in the morning you can rinse it out. This gives you shiny and healthy looking hair!

3. Try to use natural products in your hair, just because its better for it and it will encourage growth. I like the brands Faith in Nature and Albert Balsam.

4. Use a natural oil in your hair like argon oil or coconut oil, they are really good to keep your hair healthy and long!

5. Minimize the use of heat on your hair like hair-dryers and curlers, it just dries the hair out and encourages frizz.

6. Let your hair dry naturally, and if you are going to use a towel on your hair, pat it dry instead of rubbing it, that will just damage your hair.

7. Eat healthy and drink loads of water, i know you have to do this anyway, but it can really help the healthiness of your hair! Try eating foods like salmon, avocado and eggs, as these can really 
help!  

8. Finally, don't wash your hair everyday, it will just strip it of its natural oils.

Meeting Tanya Burr!

So, as you can tell from the title, i met the lovely Tanya Burr today at her Leeds book signing!

We traveled about 40 minutes to the white rose centre, i was quite early, we went to some of the shops and maybe bought some lush products.... Then we queued for around 20-30 minutes. Then it was time for us go through to the room where the book signing was! I was so excited as we walked past loads of people who had there books signed. 

I collected my book and started queuing again, i managed to catch a glimpse of her while i was walking past, i loved her makeup and she was wearing a really pretty dress. Then it was my turn next, i gave my books to the lady for Tanya to sign, she asked me how my day was! She was so lovely, but then it was all over. And after i came out, i was ecstatic! 

I hoped you liked this review of my day, and if i'm lucky enough that Tanya see's this, then i just wanted to say, thank you for being amazingly nice to me! And i love your book!

Love Tanya Review!

Hi guys! Todays post is very exciting, because I'm going to be reviewing Love Tanya by Tanya Burr!

Firstly, this book is written beautifully. The book is about Tanya's life and how she grew up, and also there are chapters on beauty, skincare and love. She documents her life growing up, when she was small and also how she met Jim, her fiancé!

Its just such a lovely book to read, and the kind of book you can easily pick up and read when your feeling down or want a reminder on some of the amazing tips she gives you! Speaking of tips, this book is filled with them, they are all so helpful! She touches on skincare and her top ten products (I'm definitely going to by some of them now!)

There is also a chapter on happiness and confidence, which is super helpful and interesting to read. I haven't finished it yet, but I couldn't not do a review!
If you haven't yet read it, go get it now on amazon here's the link:
amazon.co.uk

I feel like this is such a short review, I cant think of many words to describe this book (that's in a good way!) except from AMAZING!
In the unlikely circumstance that Tanya reads this, im so proud of you and this book is exceptional!

Don't forget to recommend and follow to see more by me! And also go get the book!! Subscribe to Tanya:  https://www.youtube.com/user/pixi2woo

January Favourites | 2015

Hey guys, welcome to my monthly favourites where I review everything I've been loving in the month of January!

1. Love Tanya!:
I've been so excited, from the minute that Tanya announced that she was writing a book! The front cover is amazing, and the content is even amazinger ( that's not a word, is it!). Im so proud of her!!
Order it on amazon or Waterstones , or buy it at your local supermarket or bookstore!

2. Garnier 3 in 1:
This stuff is awesome! Its a 3 in 1, so its a face mask, cleanser and scrub! It leaves your face feeling soft and moisturized. Plus it unclogs your pores, so bonus!
At any good supermarket or beauty store!

3. My Unicorn Onesie!:
All I can say is, its the most softest thing I've felt in my life! And its a unicorn so....its basically the most epicest ( that's not a word either!)  piece of clothing I own!
I got this on amazon, just search: Unicorn Onesie!

4. InboxPounds:
This is kind of random but, its a website that pays you for doing surveys! Its especially great for teenagers like me, who struggle getting money! For you people in America, go to Opinion Outpost.
inboxpounds.co.uk  

5. Person of the Month:
I've been loving Lily Singh aka IIsuperwomanII! She's just so funny, its the type of humour and videos I like. Here's the link to her channel:  https://www.youtube.com/user/IISuperwomanII 

6. Barry M Nail Polish in Nude:
Barry M did good again! This time I got the colour Nude, which is pretty self explanatory. A pink nude. Go and check out my Barry M review! Im sure there's a link somewhere. 
At any good beauty store/drugstore

7. I've recently bought some stuff online on Boohoo.com, and I love them! I got a skater skirt, some shorts and a new cardigan. If you want me to go into more detail, like this post, and I will do a online haul for you guys!
