5 Things To Do This Weekend #1

Here's just a short post on what either I'm going to be doing this weekend or what you could do this weekend to make the most out of it!


1 - Clean your make up brushes. I always forget to do this but once I've done it I feel 100x better than what I did. There's something about it that's therapeutic. 

2 - Catch up on beauty sleep. This is the perfect time to be able to catch up on some well needed beauty sleep. Getting less than 8 hours sleep can really affect your skin.

3 - Go to Boots & Superdrug. No better thing than going to Boots with my sister on a Saturday and just spending hours looking at make up, testing things and usually buying things.

4 - Pamper. Nothing better than on a weekend taking some time out and just doing you. Pamper yourself and make yourself feel good and refreshed for the upcoming week.

5- Read. That new book you've been meaning to read? Or the one you pick up once in a while and forget about - guilty! Weekends are the perfect time to catch up on some quality reading time.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Hangover Support - 8 Tips To Survive A Hangover

As a 19 year old my wild party days are far from over; in this post I'm giving you tips and tricks I use to help me with a hangover!

Defeat - I know what you did last night wasn't big nor clever and probably slightly shameful, and the next day, you'll be waking up definitely feeling it. When you wake up, admit you have been defeated and waste no time taking painkillers. Its okay, you got this!

Food -  Seriously, you need to eat before bed, but lets be honest there's a good chance you'll of went home with greasy kebab so no worries there. However the next morning, afternoon or whenever you wake up you need to eat, or when your stomach can handle it at least. Feeding the hangover will make the world of difference. 

Water -  Whilst munching down on a greasy kebab or pizza or whatever your drunken food choice is grab yourself a pint of water. I know this seems a lot but this will work wonders to re hydrate your body which will also reduce hangover. Take a pint of water to bed with you for when you wake up and keep drinking water throughout the day.

 Make up - Ah yes, the biggest pain in the arse when all you want to do is stumble into your bed with a full face of make up on. Get a baby wipe and take the most of it off and you can get the rest the next day. There's nothing better than a semi clean face.

Comfort - Lets be honest, the best way to feel sorry for yourself is by doing it in some comfy PJ's. Wear them all day, unless you need to leave the house then try something like leggings and a jumper.A tip is to not plan anything productive for the morning after.

Skin - You'll need to rehydrate your skin. Remove all of your make up - I know you were proud you taken a baby wipe to the face whilst hardly being able to stand. Take it all off good and proper. Once all has gone find anything hydrating, such as masks, mists and sprays and use them all or one. Eye creams, all off them, your eyes will be puffy and probably dark circles from spending half the night up, help yourself out with eye creams to prevent them.

Pamper - There's nothing better than when you're dying inside than having a pamper day. Run yourself a bath and add in your favourite bath bomb or bubble bath etc and let your body soak. This is also the perfect time to use a face mask to help your now dry skin!

Friends - If you still have your friends by the end of the night, well done firstly! Ask them to stay at your house that way you'll have someone to mope around the house with in PJ's whilst talking about the night before. Not only this you can go halves on a take away.

Hangovers are never fun, but the night before is always worth it.
