Summer Nails




Hi guys

Today I decided to do a nail art post. This summer has been extremely boring, and with not much else to do, I decided to do my nails. My sister initially painted them yellow, not the colour I was hoping for, but i think it worked out okay. I did her nails with a pink polish as a base, which looked a lot better.
All you need is :


  • Q Tip
  • Cocktail stick
  • Various shades of Nail polish ( I used yellow, pink and white )

This nail art design is inspired by BubzBeauty.

Excuse the wonky flowers on some of my nails. eek!

My blog design




Hi guys :)

 A week ago I contacted the lovely Georgia from for the love of thrift who kindly designed my blog for me. I have NEVER been able to figure out the blog design so it really was a relief to find that Georgia did blog designs. In order for her to design the blog, I provided her with everything I wanted on the blog, such as colour scheme, widgets, etc. Over the week, I waited excitedly for the end design, and I am literally over the moon with it. I couldn't have done it better myself. If you want to enquire about a blog design, you'll find out more on her blog which I have linked.

Carry on essentials




Sometimes its hard to makeup your mind with what to bring on holiday. I admit, If i had more baggage, I probably would bring my whole wardrobe, although I would only wear half of it. For some people its hard to know what to bring in carry on (hand luggage), others find it difficult when it comes to what to wear on the plane. Here are some tips I have after my recent holiday. 

(Bear in mind I am no expert when it comes to what to bring/what not to bring) 


Carry on for short haul
  1. Vaseline/Lip balm
  2. A good book
  3. Ipod/mp3 player
  4. Cardigan (Planes are chilly)
  5. Hand sanitizer


Carry on extras for long haul
  1. Face wipes
  2. Toothpaste
  3. Toothbrush
  4. Eye mask (Sleeping mask) 
  5. Face powder 
  6. Small sized face moisturizer 


If you bring nothing else I would definetely recommend bringing a lip balm and moisturizer. Personally, my skin feels extremely dry during the flight and I have certainly learned from my mistake of not bringing lip balm. 
(Before I left, I was also advised to put some clothes in carry on, as it leaves more room for cosmetics etc in your suitcase). 

If you have any extras, let me know below in the comments as I would love to know :)

Some of the essentials.
