Handmade Greeting Cards

I love writing my friends and family cards and love making them extra special just to make them smile, whether this be the design or the message it is someone's special day and they deserve it all! The lovely Nicola Heales kindly sent me some of her handmade cards to have a look at and use, and you can see that they are the cutest things ever! Each card is different and all you have to do is email her or ring here with a order and she will surely get it done for you! I am in love with the wedding day card the most because of how sweet it is! 

If you fancy some sweet and cute handmade cards then drop Nicola a line on twitter @NicolaHeales or her email which is nicolaheales@blueyonder.co.uk or on her site Nic-Nacs.com

Face B4 Wash + Serum|Review

If you caught this post at the start of this month, then you will know that the month of July was the month that I get my skin back in to shape! I set my self some goals, some of which I achieved and others I didn't therefore will be carrying it on through the month of August as well. But one thing I did do was use these amazing products from FaceB4. I have been using this for over a month now and its time to give you all the verdict of how I found them.

Face B4 Wash + Serum

 

Face Wash // This was something I really enjoyed using in the shower, because of the easy to use pump at the top of the bottle. It seems unusual for skincare products to have a pump like this, but this wash is a cleanser and toner combined in one magic bottle. Killing two steps with one application; the product claims to do so many things and I was curious whether or not it would live up to its facts. I used it in the shower on some nights and others over the sink, which ever method I used it removed my makeup like a gem and will carry on using it.

Serum// I am not the biggest fan of serums but I think this has converted me forever! I loved the texture of this as it wasn't liquidly or runny instead more like a cream on my face. It also had a really subtle smell so I knew it wouldn't irritate me. As soon as applying it, it sunk into my skin and I loved the feeling of it. This serum together with the wash is like a match made in heaven as the box suggests using it together has way more benefits. 

During the first week my skin experienced a rough patch, and I broke out like crazy! To which I begun to think that I need to stop using it but then I thought maybe my skin is just clearing up and everything is just coming out from underneath so I carried on using it for a further week. To which I then begun to see a really big difference and would recommend these products to everyone and anyone!

FaceB4 is a brand I would have never ever gone towards in Boots but now I think differently and want more from the brand.

How to Style Kimono's!

My recent go to outfit has been this one, and I just had to show you all it because it is very summery and pretty! Kimono's seem to be everywhere at the moment and have taken over the fashion world, and I knew that I just had to get my self one. This one is actually from Asda! Yes, probably you're local supermarket. I always go in the clothes section and just happened to find this bargain at £5, more than half the price of the ones in other shops these days! I paired it with a plain top from Store 21 and then my go to Matalan jeans because they are uber comfy.

I tried to photograph the print as best as I could because you all just needed to say it, it is so gorgeous and very summery and it was from Asda? I mean seriously! I love Kimono's because they are summery, airy and very lightweight so you can throw it on top of everything!

Styling a Kimono!

I also thought I would share with you some tips on how to style them as well as there is so many out there I personally never know what to wear with them!

- Wear it with a skirt and a tank top which will make it look more colourful.

- They look super cute with jumpsuits/playsuits/rompers because you are adding some extra style.

- Use it as a bathing suit cover up! Yes that right, they are long and big enough to cover you up in the sun.

- Like mine, pair a printed Kimono with some jeans and a plain t-shirt. Maybe even add a long necklace for a bit more. 

- If you are a fan of all black, then pair a brighter Kimono to break up all the black and some chunky gold accessories would be great as well!

- The above point also makes sense if you use it all white as well, then you can look all monochromic and trendy!

- For something more casual wear just your everyday jeans and t-shirt and throw a kimono on top.

- As far as shoes go, I like anything with them but as you can see in this post I paired it with my nude heels and it worked well!

I hope you clicked on this blog post because you wanted to know what shade this beautiful colour of nail polish is! I won't keep you waiting any longer and tell you that it is one of the newer summer gelly's from BarryM in the shade 'Coconut' and by far one of my favourite colours ever from any brand! Its this perfect off white colour that doesn't seem to wash out my skin tone and looks amazing in the day and at night. 2 coats is all it took, and it took me by surprise. This is the perfect all round summer shade.
