Just a little ramble...

Just woken up and have no idea what to blog about, I've tried looking around but still nothing! 

So in this blog i have decided that i'm just going to tell you about my holidays!:)

My summer holidays started almost 3 weeks ago, to celebrate me and my best friend went and got our ears pierced. She went first...she came out. She was fine! But when i went in I was terrified. I felt like i was going to faint! :o It was HORRIBLE so my mum had to get my best friend to cheer me up and say its all fine and it doesn't hurt. But after I was in AGONY. 

After these 3 weeks my ears have been going trough some stages. 1 day they were fine, the next day they have got all gunged up:( I searched it on the internet and they said that 99% of the time it will clear over so. PANIC OVER.

The next day i got invited to go to PRIMARK IN HARROGATE!

I was so excited and bought a ton of clothes. I told the rest of my friends and they got jealous so we have to go again in a couple of weeks. Great, more jobs to do for more money! I've got NOTHING:(

I've had a couple of lazy days watching the Olympics and How I Met Your Mother:) <--Which is amazingly funny btw:) Lol. And then some active days like going to the park for the hole day and accidently hitting a little boy on the head with a ball, and felt mean so we went to hide in the cafe and had some coke! Read a bird book...as ya do! And looking at the pictures of the Blue Tits and the Long Tailed Tits. We are so immature:) Haha, that was a great day:) Apart from the ball part, if you are reading this little boy I AM SO SORRY:) xx

So, Hows your holidays going? Please tell me in the comments and tell me what else to write about because i have no ides what so ever! :O

Hair Care

Its important to keep your hair clean and healthy so you avoid various problems like dandruff, scalp infection, hair fall and greying of hair. Here are some tips to help you maintain healthy and happy hair!:)

1. Wash your hair 3-4 times a week with a mild herbal shampoo, there will be a range of different shampoos at your local stores.

2. If your experiencing dandruff use an anti-dandruff shampoo. Keeping your scalp clean is important to your hair.

3. Do not comb wet hair, remember to only comb your hair when its either towel dried or completely dry.

4. Avoid using to  many hair styling products directly on the scalp, it could clog up the pores on your head.

5. If you want silky smooth hair use hair masks once or twice a week.

6. ALWAYS use heat protectant when you are about to use hot tools.

7. Even if its a habit don't suck or bite the ends of your hair, it causes more split ends.

8. TRY and you do the hair dressers every month to keep it healthy and so you don't get too many split ends.

9. Use hair serums if you want silky hair.

And the last and final tip...

10. STAY HAPPY :D

Yes, cucumber really does work!

By the title of this blog your probably thinking that Lizzie has gone a bit dooolallly...But no. I'm right cucumbers do work! But what on you may ask? Bags and wrinkles under your eyes! And also works on sore and  puffy eyes. Why you may ask? Its because cucumbers are 90% composed of water :O Some scientists disagree with putting cucumber on your eyes because it might give you some eye infections from the bacteria from the cucumbers. BUT WHO CARES!!!! :P YOLO

So if you want to know whether cucumber is any good when it’s over your eyes like a pair of green funky glasses, the answer is yes: Cucumbers are good because they look cool.

If you would like to know what to do i will tell you so:

• Get two slices of cucumber freshly cut.
• Before you put them on your eyes you could put in the fridge for 1 hour to get them extra cool:)
• After that sit outside in the sun, lean back and place them on your eyes and relax while the cucumber will fix your eyes up
• Make sure to leave them on your eyes for at least 10 mins:)

What I'm Loving

Today this blog post is actually going to be good! Because... Guess What! I got a camera so i can take proper pictures for you guys!:) How kind am I? 

This blog post is going to be about what I'm loving and using the most at the moment. I have 6 products to share with you!

See look at the AMAZING QUALITY ;D

I've have had most of these products for a while now so I have got to use them and had the time to think about how good they are, the only new one is the Revlon Cream Blush which I have done a review on already so be sure to check that one out! :)

£0.99*

First of all is The Little Green Tin which is a Superdrug brand and can come in many different scents, the only scent I liked was the Aloe Vera one. Which is strange because I am one who isn't fond of the smell usually. Its really cheap and is totally worth it, I'm sure America would have one similar! It lasts long on the lips and really keeps your lips smooth. After a couple of uses it does work on the cracks in your lips but not straight away unlike the higher end brands.

This is quite an old product but I'm sure they would still be selling this. Simple really does save my skin! I have plenty of their products and this one is definitely the most effective at this moment in time. Its a role on so before you go to bed you role it over your spots and leave it to sink into the skin. Then while your sleeping it works away and when you wake up all the redness has gone on the spot isn't visible anymore! The only problem with this is it takes a couple of uses to get it going and most girls like me just want the spots to be gone right away!

£5.99*

This is the product I have already done a review on so check that out but for this blog i will just quickly sum it up! This blush and a nice consistency and looks natural on the skin when blended out nicely. I really think it's worth the price and I'm think about getting more cream blushes from Revlon. ( When I have money :(  )

£10.00*

I've had this hairbrush for a long time and it has really helped get those tangles out. (See what I did there? Its called The Tangle Teezer...Hahaa) You don't need to be sitting their brushing away at those knots for centuries. This brush does the trick right away! Leaving your hair silky smooth:) It comes in different colours: Black, Blue and Sparkly Purple(That all I know though! There might be more) But I chose the simple neon orange:)

£2.00*

Everybody. I mean everybody has to have a Hand Gel in their bags at all times. I've lost count of the times that I've needed to use this! This is the Carex Protect+Plus Hand Gel kills 99.9% of bacteria in seconds. Also Antibacterial Protection for 2 whole hours:O GOLLY! This product makes you feel clean in the inside when using it because you know that its killing all of that bacteria off your hands and will protect you from it for 2 whole hours! The only down side is that the smell isn't the most pleasant but it does go away after a couple of minuets.

£2.00*

This it the Natural Collection Vanilla Body Spray, I have recently been buying lots of vanilla scented things and finding that I really do love the smell! :) This is a bargain price for 150ml of a lovely smell. :D This is a Boots brand and there are loads more different spays like this. As you can see I have used quite a fair bit already because I have been using it every morning, spraying it all over! Sometimes I even spray it on my school books, Hehe:)

That's all for now guys! I will defiantly be re-purchasing all of these products:)

Hope you enjoyed this blog post and hope it helps!

Nail Polish

Nail Polish is not bad for the nails, in fact its good for them! It strengthens and hardens them, its the Nail Polish REMOVER that's bad. Nail Polish Remover is bad for the nails because it weakens them and could also dry out the cuticles! :( But still...every girl has at least 1 nail polish somewhere in their room!

Nail Polish is a great way to brighten up a simple outfit! You can do 1 colour or be extra creative and a do a pattern! You can even buy nail art pens (Off Ebay) if you want to be even more creative! Haha! :)

I've tried SOOOO many Nail Polish Removers but I have to say the Collection 2000 one is my favourite! Some of my Removers don't do a god damn thing! Others dry out my nails completely! :( But this one does the trick for me! I recommend this product to all of your which can be purchased at Superdrug (Sorry America! You will probably find it else where!)  

Hope this helps! Toodlepip! xx Lizzie<3

Tips on How to stay Healthy

Hey there! Its always important to keep in good shape and health. Isn't it?  I've found some great and easy tips to keep on your mind that help you stay fit and healthy!

Tip 1- Eat a Nutritious Breakfast!

After a long nights sleep its important that you forget to have breakfast! I find that people at my school are always skipping breakfast because they think there's no need for it. In fact its the most important meal of the day! make sure you keep it balance and healthy! And easy way is instead or just having some boring cereal chuck some fruit it and that's already your first 5 a day done and complete! And also throughout the day make sure you eat a range of food groups to keep it exciting! :)

Tip 2- Get some exercise! (Don't turn into a coach potato!)

Instead of going in your car everywhere try to walk or cycle! Take the stair and not the naughty elevator! If you can/have time try and go to the gym with a friend, the gym is a fun and easy way because you can do a range of exercises.(running,jogging,swimming,tennis,wall climbing and many more!!!) :)

Tip 3- Drink plenty of water!

Your body is up to 50-70% of water, that shows how important it is! Make sure you drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, not juice of some fizzies! Try putting a bottle of water in your room so remember! Don't worry it does seen 8 glasses is a lot of water to have in 1 day but it does count in some fruits! So its not all bad! Drinking plenty of water allows your body to be hydrated at all times and no chance of getting un-hydrated or getting one of those horrible headaches! :( :)

I hope this blog helps all of you and Toodlepip! xx Lizzie<3
