~REVIEW~ LostKeys skull and roses sunglasses*

These spectacular sunnies are available on Shelley Busby's Etsy store along with a range of other handmade products. Shelley very kindly sent me these to review so here is what I thought...

~TAG~ You're it!

Hey there! Long time no speak, well, from me at least! First off I'd like to apologise for being a bad blogger and not posting in a fair while. Secondly, I'd like to apologise to Alex for going to her house to have a constructive 'blog day' which actually turned into me eating half of her freshly made Cherry Bakewells (which if she doesn't do a recipe post for I won't be happy!) as well as 2 packs of hula-hoops, a funsize pack of party rings ( I stress the 'funsize' bit as there's nothing 'fun' about those tiny packs!) and a bagel... My bad!

Anyway, enough apologising. After waking up with some new found motivation this morning, I checked our Twitter mentions to find that we'd been tagged to do the Confessions Of A Blogger questions by the amazing (She's actually my favourite blogger but shhh!) MyDogBlog09 ! Here are our my answers... (As Alex is off spending the day with her boyfriend for his birthday, and I kind of owe it to her to post anyway!)

~BODY IMAGE~ Part 2 of 3 ~ A Little Photoshop, a Big Impact

Image from here

This is the second post of the body image series and this one is about Photoshop. Anyone can download Photoshop for their computer and I personally do have and use Photoshop. In my opinion the use of Photoshop isn't a bad thing however I do think that people should be open about the use of it and the original pictures before being edited for publishing should be more readily available and easier to find. Some of this stuff is really shocking...

~BODY IMAGE 1/3 ~The Effect of Makeup

This is part 1 of 3 body image posts I'll be uploading over the space of a week. The aim of these posts is to give you a confidence boost and just to show you that you're just as beautiful as anyone else! If these three posts only help one person I'll still be a happy bunny because I believe that even just helping one person is worth this time and effort. So this first post is the dramatic difference that makeup can make, because you might not realise how average that 'smoking hot' celebrity looks when stripped of their foundation, concealer, primer, lipstick, eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow, bronzer, highlighter....

~TREND~ Aztec/Tribal Print!

Aztec and Tribal prints are major trends at the moment and I love them! I'm not particularly girly and most patterns tend to be really feminine and involve flowers. Although a lot of these floral patterns are lovely they aren't very me. So when I saw these products I was happy to have finally found a pattern I would like to wear myself. Here are My top 3 patterned bargains..!

~DIY~ Tangle Free Earphones!

I am the most unlucky person ever when it comes to earphones! I just can't seem to find a pair that will last any longer than 3 weeks. The only pair I've ever had that have withstood the excessive battering I give them, are the original, bland, white iPod headphones that you get with your device.

Despite them being strong, due to the constant tumbleweeding in my college bag, they're forever getting tangled ( the second bane of my life after my mammoth hair knots, see the pattern?!) and well, after spending some time scouring the internet for ideas on how to prevent the constant tangling, I came across Free Peoples wrapped earphones for $40... yes, that's $40 (That's £25 ish to us Brits!) for some earphones with a bit of wool wrapped around them! No me gusta! So, as per usual I thought, I could do that and here's what I did...

Doritos get the party started!*

Where do you eat Doritos? At a festival? With a film? At a fiesta? The chances are if you're eating Doritos its because you're with friends or family and doing something fun and their new video captures that idea perfectly...

~TUTORIAL~ Quick and Easy Nail art!

 After writing up a review on Maybelline's 7 Days Gel Nail Colour I decided to do a quick nail art step by step tutorial using the polish that doesn't use any fancy tools or brushes and can be done in a few minutes. So here it is...

~REVIEW~ Maybelline 7 days gel nail colour

WOW! Massively impressed with this amazing nail polish. Originally, when I bought the polish I was expecting the whole '7 days' thing to be a load of bull as it tends to be on most nail polishes but boy was I wrong. 5 star rating..!

~ Haul! ~ Bits 'n' Bobs !

I don't know whether I'm alone in doing this, but whenever I get a dinner hour at work, I like to see it as a challenge. A challenge to cram as much fun stuff into said hour,all just to raise my spirits before my return back to the ever hectic Primarni shop-floor! Now, let's be honest, there's no better way raise a girl's spirit than shopping! So, during my break I hit the high street to see what products caught my eye and here's what I found... ( Be warned it's a long 'un!)

5 Tips to a Healthier, Happier you!

1. Exercise
I heard a chorus of groans as I wrote that but calm down dears it can be fun, honest. Find what you like to do and have the time and money for whether its walking a dog or joining some type of team. If you're feeling a bit adventurous you might want to try your hand at roller skating like Shannon 80's style!

~ REVIEW~ Veet Easy Wax Roll on Kit

When I got this wax kit I was really excited to use it and wasn't really worried about the pain (am 'ard me). I found setting it up was really easy you just have to put the wax in, put the top on, stand it in the stand and plug it in. Easy! It doesn't take too long to heat up and it says it stays warm for 15 minutes if you don't want to use it plugged in. That said I wouldn't recommend unplugging the rolly thingy because although it is usable it becomes more painful as it loses heat.

~ BARGAIN BEAUTY ~ £1 Tangle Teezer alternative!

Here in my town we're "blessed" to have 3 Pound shops (As well as 5 Greggs bakeries, but that's a story for another day!) Anyway, recently on a stroll around the biggest of the 3 shops, I came across what looked to be a small plastic horse grooming brush / an over sized brush for a Barbie. However, since it was among the entirely human hair care items, I became curious and went for a closer look...
