THIS IS YOUR SIGN

THIS IS YOUR SIGN!!



This is what you've been waiting for to get motivated. We understand that there are times when you just want the world to stop turning and curl up in your bed, or shrivel in to a hole and forget all your worries. But don't, just don't!

The world is not going to stop turning and yes, although your bed may sound appealing, you are not going to achieve anything!

So, go to the gym and get your perfect summer body, pick up that book and start revising for those A's, go ask that person out that you've been crushing over, go get that makeover you desperately wanted, you deserve it!

Just go and live your life!! 

THIS IS YOUR SIGN to go and do what you want in life and what makes you happy. After all, this is YOUR life that you're living!

Simple and easy hairstyle :)

Heyy guys!! 

Today's post is going to be a tutorial for a simple and easy spring hairstyle! This style is very quick to do so is perfect for those days when you have school or work and just don't have the time to spend doing your hair!....hope you enjoy! 

First brush your hair and make a side parting.




Then, take the front part of your hair and split it into three equal stands. Now do a normal three strand  plait going round your head. 




Next, split the right side of your hair into three strands, taking the end of the previous plait and adding it into the back strand. Continue doing a three stand plait downwards and secure with a hair band.




Now take the opposite side of hair and do another three strand plait, exactly the same as the one above.




DONEEEE!!!!!!



Hope you enjoyed this tutorial and if you liked it we would love to see some of your own hairstyles, send us some pictures on...

Beauty Hack

Beauty Hack!!!

As the female goddesses that we are, we require a lot of pampering, but often find there is not enough hours in the day! Or, it can go horribly wrong and we give up on it completely! I am 100% guilty of leaving the house looking like a wreck because I didn't know the beauty hacks that I'm about to share with you! 

Hopefully, you will find these three tips useful and they will save you from being a hot mess!


Nails

1.When painting your nails, be sure to have a cotton swab or two (depending on how messy you get) handy.If you happen to get some nail varnish on the skin around your nail, gently glide the cotton swab on the skin with the nail varnish and it will come right off! It also leaves a nice rim of nail varnish on your nails if you swab it around the whole cuticle! 


2.To prevent chipping, paint two base coats. The first only on the end of your nail and the second over your whole nail. This protects the tip of your nail from chipping for longer... and it's fool proof!!


Hair

1. If your hair can sometimes be a disaster, like mine, and is in need of some serious TLC, then you need some coconut oil in your life. If you have liquid coconut oil, great but if you have solid coconut oil, melt it in the microwave for 40 seconds. Take it out and stir it until it is runny. You will definitely need a big hair band because it can get messy. Massage the coconut oil into your scalp and let it sit for an hour. Then wash it out normally in the shower! This is seriously so good for conditioning your scalp and definitely stops dandruff and greasy hair! I do this every time that my hair is greasy and dandruffy, and that is quite a lot!! 

Hopefully you guys find these useful, we want to know if you use these tips and if you guys have any tips for us!!!

Bucket List!!!




Hey guys!!!

It's my turn to share with you my bucket list!! To be honest, I have a bucket list of about 150 life goals, so I'm not going to lie it was a hard decision choosing my top 10 bucket list ideas!! 

But hey, these are what made it to the top 10:


1. ROAD TRIP- Ever since I was a little girl it has been my dream to road trip across America with a friend, preferably in a VW Campervan! They are so cute and who doesn't want to take tumblresque photos?

2. Kiss someone famous- who doesn't???

3. Go to Wrestlemania- Being a lover of WWE, it is the ultimate dream to see the wrestling on the grandest stage of them all, Wrestlemania! 

4. Get a psychic reading- I really want to see what my future holds and I love the idea of literally having your future in the palm of your hand.

5. Learn how to fish- It may seem like a weird one but I really want to learn how to fish! It just seems so relaxing, to sit there on open water and wait!

6. Buy a nutcracker- Like in the Nutcracker. It would be amazing to get one in Germany when it's a snowy winter.

7. Have the perfect job, my own business- I was going to write something about falling in love or having the perfect wedding (both of which I deeply want) but I recently saw a feminist post and I felt so empowered that I had to chose this one! I want to prove that we don't have to depend on a man to achieve our dreams, I want to be a strong, independent woman! 

8. Move in with my best friend- Kirsty!!!! We're gonna have so much fun!!!

9. COACHELLA- Perhaps I can kiss a famous person here? But, I seriously want to go to this festival sooo badly!!

10. Truly live my life- Live is too short to not live life to the full!!
