My Favourite... Hand Cream

Hi Everyone, 

So I have decided each week I am going to try and do this blogpost 'My Favourite...' whether that is a lipstick, hand cream, hair oil anything! Just so you have a few recommendations if your ever stuck on what to get! This is also like a review too so I hope you enjoy this series! 

My favourite hand cream has to be the Soap and Glory hand food; I love it! My hands don't really get dry in the summer months but as soon as it gets cold my hands get so dry and quite itchy due to their dryness. 


The reason this one is my favourite is because unlike most hand creams your hands stay moisturised even after you have washed them throughout the day so you only have to apply it every two days although I apply mine each night before I go to bed so my hands have a solid nine hours to absorb all the moisture before I wash them. It smells super good too and the best thing is that it doesn't leave your hands sticky as it dries really quickly! 

I have the mini sized one which I love because you can just throw it in your bag if you want to and if you feel like changing hand creams this one won't take forever to get rid of because its a mini! 

The next hand cream I want to try is the Zoella Wonder hand moisturiser as I have heard good things! Let me know if you've tried this. 

I hope you enjoyed the first post of my new series, there will be a new one of these up next Monday!

Top 5 favourite apps

Hi Everyone, 

Again I'm stuck for blogpost ideas and this one is going up much later because to be honest I forgot to write one today! So I am going to show you my top five favourite apps on my phone right now (in order)

1. Snapchat - I love snapchat! Its the first thing I go on when I go on my phone to sends snaps and check other peoples stories, I just like the idea of it.



2. Youtube - Who doesn't love to watch a bit of youtube now and again?! When I'm bored or I'm waiting for someone particular to upload (usually a Sunday) then I will constantly be checking Youtube.



3. Instagram - I feel like a lot of people could sit on Instagram and scroll for a solid hour to see peoples updates; well I could anyway. I just think it is more interesting than see 'statuses' you can see pictures instead which are more interesting!


4. Wunderlist - This app is so helpful and when I got it, it was free which I was surprised as its really good. Basically this app lets you make as many 'lists' as you like which I know sounds really boring but is really helpful. Some lists I have made are - Birthday wish list, Christmas presents for Family and Friends, to do, things I want to buy, movies to watch and many more; I have a lot! You can also share the lists with other people even if they don't have the app, by emailing the lists to them so I think it is extremely useful! 


5. Township - I am kind of addicted to this at the moment, I heard about it from Zoe and Alfie and I really like it. I always like those kind of games anyway and another one would be Hay day so I would recommend that for when your bored.

Pamper Night

Hi everyone,

Today I am going to show you what I get up to on my pamper night. Today was a pretty rainy, windy and cold Autumnal day so when I got home I thought I would have a lovely warm bath; today I needed to wash my hair so unfortunately I couldn't use any lush products or add in any bubble bath. But if you want me to do another version of this then let me know! 

Firstly I took off all my makeup using the L'oreal absolute make up remover eye and lip. 


Then to make sure every last bit of makeup was gone I used my L'occataine Lavander Cleansing Gel which makes your face feel so soft but I think it has been discontinued now. After I have done these first two steps I feel so much more like a human to have all of the dirt and makeup off my face. 


Then I will make sure everything is in the bathroom and ready so today I wanted to start reading Zoella's Girl on line book because I haven't read it yet. And I also grabbed some water because i hate it when I get into the bath and become really thirsty from all the heat and the steam from the bath so I took some water with me. 


You can't have a pamper night without candles so obviously I lit them! The big one on the left is Lemongrass scented which smells just like the Spa's in Bali (Nostalgia right there) and the one on the right has orange, geranium, ylang ylang and lavender so two very relaxing scents. 


Then I get everything else I need for the bath, my shampoo and conditioner. 
Vosene - Anti Dandruff Shampoo (Been using it for about two weeks and it has not made much improvement to my dandruff but it is meant to be really good so I going to carry on using it for a few more weeks. It does make my hair really soft and shiny though which is great!)

Tresseme Split Remedy - I soon realised that no conditioner, shampoo or hair mask can "get rid of split ends" but I still really like this conditioner as my hair feels so soft, smells really good and feels really good! I only put conditioner from my collar bone down as if I put it on the top of my head it irritates my dandruff and makes it worse however I do it now and again it does make my hair look extremely shiny which I love! But thats about once every 4 months that I put it all over my hair. 


I also comb through my hair when my conditioner is on as it majorly gets out the knots you wouldn't think it but honestly if you haven't tried it please do as it will banish the knotty wet hair you usually get out the shower with. (If you do; I used to) 


Then I brush through my extremely thick and long hair, it gets knotty as i don't brush it very often because I don't like how it looks when its brushed. 


Face Mask - Recently my skin has been really bad, I have broken out a lot and the spots don't seem to be going so I used a Botanics Ionics clay face mask today I only do them about once every two months but this one hardens on your skin when it is ready and makes your face feel really soft. It hasn't got rid of my spots or made them smaller but it does make my skin feel clean and refreshed. 


Once I have finished my bath I put my pyjamas on (from Primark) and moisturise using FlowerbyKenzo Body Milk.



Now onto hair - I firstly rub Garnier Ultimate Blends through the bottom of my hair (it has coconut oil in it which makes my hair smell amazing and feel super soft, I would definitely recommend and re-purchase this!) This helps me to comb my hair through as it seems to tease out the last few knots; so then I comb through my hair and today I decided to do a fishtail (tip - fishtails are much easier to do when your hair is wet) and I get all the water out of my ears using a cotton bud.


So this is my finished fishtail - if you are trying to learn how to do it then I would recommend not looking in the mirror as you do it as that makes it a lot harder and will confuse you looking in the mirror. 
I don't always do this, but as the weather is getting colder I decided to put cream on my feet and put slipper socks on because this is meant to make your feet softer. 

I don't moisturise at night, I just put on some acne cream and moisturise in the morning. But this is my moisturiser from Benefit. 


That is mostly it, for the rest of the night I will have dinner watch tv with Mum and relax. By the way I did you shower gel in the bath but I forgot to mention that! I hope you enjoyed this blogpost, let me know in the comments if there are any other blogposts you want to see!

Favourite Youtubers

Hi everyone, 

You tube is something I enjoy watching when I get home from school and on a Sunday with a cup of tea, so today I thought I would give you a list of some of my favourite you tubers; big and small. 

Big Youtubers - 

Zoella and MoreZoella - This probably isn't a surprise to many of you as she does have 9 million subscribers so a lot of people are a fan of hers! But theres something about her main channel videos and vlogs that means I can watch them even if they were an hour and a half long! She's just so lovely and positive! Zoe was the first youtube I watched and I instantly loved her!


Alfie Deyes - I much prefer Alfies vlogs to main channel videos but I like to watch them everyday if I can; especially now that he lives with Zoe and Nala I love to see what their all up to as a family and Alfie is just so bubbly and loud, everyday he gets up to something meaning his vlogs are fun to watch. 

Sacconejolys - The sacconejolys are so addictive I love watching them everyday, I'm one of those people who always likes something on in the background when I'm on my own whilst I'm tidying my room, or blogging. I like to watch their vlogs the night they put the video up or a lot of the time I will watch the vlog the next morning whilst I'm doing my makeup. I just love seeing Emilia and Eduardo growing, they are at such a fun age and Jonathan does an amazing job of vlogging everyday no matter what is going on in his and Anna's personal life he still continues to vlog, edit and upload which I admire. 

The Michalaks - Theres seems to be a pattern of vloggers I think its because they are much easier to watch and have on in the background rather than having to concentrate on main channel videos. Every Sunday the Michalaks are usually the first to upload so I always look forward to that as Steph's editing skills are flawless and Grayson is probably the cutest child ever, so happy and smiley. I think they deserve so much appreciation as they go out of their way to get stunning montages and Steph will usually take a whole Sunday to edit. 

Velvetgh0st - I have always enjoyed Gabby's vlogs compared to her main channel as there is something I love about them, even when she does nothing I still enjoy her vlogs, she makes me laugh and is just crazy in the way she thinks and does things! I do still enjoy her main channel video just not as much. 


Small Youtubers - 

Sarah Close1 - Sarah is a singer, might I add a fabulous singer who most of the time I prefer her covers to the original, she isn't small as she has roughly the same amount of subscribers as The Michalaks but I feel like she isn't as known in the Youtube community as much. She seems super lovely and always says how she likes having a "smaller" youtube community than people with one million because she can recognise her subscribers which I think is lovely. 

Eve Bennett - I am so proud of Eve as I think she has done so well with growing her channel so much in such a small amount of time. Recently I have noticed that Eve's lighting, editing and filming skills have improved so much and I am a big fan of her videos. She is another youtuber who is super down to earth and I like how her videos are chatty I am also amazed that she is putting up videos to such good quality at a young age whilst juggling school and work especially now that she is in Yr 11 which is a very busy time! 



Kerry Dyer - I am obsessed with Kerry Dyer's videos at the moment, she has around 4,000 subscribers I think, I am enjoying her videos because she has just moved house, she is five moths pregnant and has a three year old daughter so at the moment her videos are always fun and have a lot going on! 

Theodora Lee - Theo has grown so much! She didn't start her channel very long ago but already is very popular and is again very down to Earth and real with all her subscribers. 

Ok so I think that is everyone! Most of you have probably heard of a lot of these people but if there are any you haven't heard of then go and check them out! I have linked the channels which I prefer the most, either vlog or main channel :)
