Review; clean and clear morning energy

The first thing i have to say about this product is that i love it! As i have sensitive skin i find it hard to find products that work and i love but this one dose both. Having sensitive skin this product needs to; not break me out, mouturise my skin, refresh my skin, and leave my skin feeling oil free - does all of this! It also has to be easy to use as i use it in the morning when i first wake up,- its pump makes it easy to use although you cant take it on holiday as the pump wont close. The consistance of this product is also great as you can use one pump and it goes along way. The only thing i would  like to change about this product is make the beads bigger to exfoliate more. Altogether i love this product  and would definately recomend this to a friend as i will be repurchase this if it runs out!

have you used this product? do you like it as much as i do?

Jewellery!

Jewellery is such a cute and pretty way to add something small but effective to an outfit! You can mix and match with jewellery and you can even find a peice of jewellery that goes with every thing, you fall in love with and never want to take off. Its so easy to find a peice of jewellery you love, as this happened to me this moring as i was looking for the images, as you can see i found these quirky peices of jewellery and i love every one of them *these post are not good for me as im trying to save money*.

DIY; tie Dye tip 1#

Elastic bands V hair ties?

Most people i know that tie dye clothes use elastic bands but the first time i tie dyed i didnt have any so i used old hair bands, it turn really good. The other day i decided to use elastic bands to see why people use them, it turn out rubbish, every time i tie dye now i use hairbands because the pattern is more effective and looks soo much better.
