Nails of The Day




These funky nails are created with love by me! I am loving the always in black and white trend... Something I didn't notice until I was lined up waiting on a changing room and it got pointed out to me that I was only holding black and white clothes! I love it so much I made it my nail colour, they look fabulous and are so eye catching! This look is easily created with the use of an everyday ballpoint pen! ... I think you can get some fandancy nail art kit with a special device that creates dots but why spend the money when you don't have to, the top of a pen does the job. Colours used are: Black Out by Rimmel London, Porcelain Party by Maybelline New York and a top coat of Clear also by Rimmel London. I'm looking forward to trying this with many other colours and brightening it up as summer draws closer!

I hope you have a fabulous day! Thanks for dropping by x

Upcycling


I had two issues, the first being the excessive amount of jewellery I own and the second being the large amount of iPod boxes I have collected up over the years. When you buy something so perfect, and for me from a young age saved a lot of money any time I wanted to buy a new iPod,  all the little bits and bobs you get with that swanky new flash device just seem too good to throw away. Now as you can see I have had many iPod’s in my time I have been lucky enough to have my very first one go through the washing machine only days after I had brought it and another has gone missing… leading me to buy multiple versions and generations. I’m not too sure what made me think of this fantabulious idea (if I may say so myself)  but with the use of a Revlon gift box I was able to store my earrings, bracelets, rings and watches without spending a penny.

You will need:
Any old iPod/iPone cases you have (if you don’t have many then ask family and friends someone’s bound to have some you can have)
A box that you have floating around that has no real use (yet)


Method:
Mine still had the sticky tape bits holding the lids together I took these off. Then just arranged the clear cases in the box anyway that they fit. Lastly in went the jewellery. It is just as easy as that!


Then you have yourself the perfect Jewellery storage solution or anything else you fancy! I’m sure there is many other things this could be a storage solution for so store away :D



Other handy uses for old iPod cases:
keeping your Jewellery together when taking it off at the pool 
Carrying medication in you handbag like panadol and hayfever tablets, cough lollies
Storing Hair ties, this is great for carrying spares in your handbag
Excess cards that don’t fit in your wallet and only use occasionally


I hope you have found this useful even if you don't have anything to store maybe you can help a friend in need.

Wonderful Winters Night In

  Hello everyone :) Long time no post I know but I'm back now! I have had a lovely evening and thought there's no better time to write another blog post. Now I must say I took the easy way out with the baking this evening it was very late by the time I got the urge to bake so grabbed the box mix just to save myself time and mess.

  After a quite day and going out for a lovely dinner I felt like doing a little spot of baking. I decided this at the very last moment on the way home from our dinner out so picked up a box mix from the supermarket. I went for the Edmon's Chocolate Chip Cookies :) ... I had a lovely time listening to Ed Sheeran, snugly with my jarmies on and of course the fire roaring! A wonderful winters night in!


Last day of winter, to most this is the best news they have had in the last 3 months but for me its kind of sad. 
I Love Winter
Roaring fires
Hot chocolates and Marshmallows
Hats and Scarves
Long Hot Showers
Lots of Blankets
Fluffy Sheets (most people will know these by the name of flannelet sheets) ;)
Boots! 
And of course Cuddles.
