OOTD: Denim // New Look Winter Haul
Hii Guys!! So the other day, me and a friend went out to do a little shopping and stopped off at New Look (one of our fav stores) to check out some cute stuff. After trying out tons of stuff, I finally picked out this outfit and I instantly fell in love with it. She took some photos for me, but please bare in mind that I have never done an OOTD before, so it might turn pretty crappy lol! Hope you enjoy!>>

My DIY Feet Mini Makeover For Winter !!
Welcome back to my blog everyone and today I will be sharing
with you a cute little method of mine I like to use to revive and refresh my
feet preparing them for the upcoming spring/summer! As we all know, winter means
cold, harsh, unappealing weather which further means socks, boots, and cover up
shoes for 6 months straight. Now just because or feet are not bare, with some
fashionable sandals or flipflops enjoying the beautiful warmth and breeze of
the beach and summer, doesn’t mean they should be neglected and suffering under
all the extra layers of socks and boots! I say it’s best to give them some TLC
so they’ll be ready to face the upcoming summer looking gorgeous! Read on to
see how I give my nails Mini Makeover!>>
Step 1) Soak up
There's nothing better than starting by pampering your feet in some warm soapy water. You've probably been walking around a lot and your feet must be worn out and blistered so relaxing them in a little bowl of water and adding some coconut or oilve oil will really nourish them due to their antibacterial and antifungal properties. Some sweet smelling oil such as rosemary or lavender oil will soften up and ease the tightness from your feet while making this an aromatherapy session for a good 10-15mins.
Step 1) Wash/Scrub
Now it's time to give your feet a good cleaning and wash away all the dirt and grime. Most of the time, we don't really pay too much attention to or feet during the everyday shower, bath or whatever type of wash we have. This is why I like to incorporate this step into my regimen to focus on my feet (especially between my toes and under my nails) and clean them up very well. (You can use the same soapy water if you like) Washing your feet also makes them a lot healthier and fresher.
Step 3) Exfoliate
This step is totally optional but it's just extra to remove any build up and smooth up your skin. You can either buy your own foot exfoliator, or DIY with honey, sugar or/and salt. Simply massage the mixture into your feet and let it sit for as long as you would like. I usually do about 3mins if I add in this step. If you have rough heels, you could try scrubbing down with a pumice stone (while it's wet). After this, rinse your feet with warm water and dab them dry with a towel.
Step 4) Trim & Shape
At this point, your nails should feel really soft and even slightly weaker than usual. Don't worry as they dry, they will go back to normal. What I do now is to cut them to a reasonable height and buff them with a nail file. Make sure to be careful while doing this. After cutting and shaping, I like to apply a little oil either coconut or almond to my actual nails and cuticles.
Step 5) Moisturize
Your almost done now, so all you need to do simply apply your favourite moisturizer, lotion or cream. Our skin tends to get super dry and crackly during these winter months so moisturizing is key!
Step 5) Get cosy!
Who can ever refused sticking their feet in some warm, fury, fuzzy socks during the winter, in their pj's, with some hot chocolate, in bed and on their laptop or whatever! That's personally what I love to do but it's all in your hands now. I just think it's an amazing way to round up a good feet makeover, and care session!
That's the end of my DIY Feet Mini Makeover For Winter and I hope you enjoyed reading! I would definitely recommend you guys trying out my regimen and doing it lets say once or twice a month. It takes about 30mins but I think out poor feet deserve some love and care this winter (especially if you live in London)! If you have seen my DIY Makeover for fingernails, you will probably notice that it's quite similar, if you haven't read it, go ahead and check it out here. Go ahead and tell me what you think about my routine and if you do try this out, feel free to share with me your results, I'd love to hear them!!
Thanks for reading guys, until next time..

DIY Newspaper Print Nail Art
Hey guys!! So I’m sure you all sometimes get a lil bored of your
nails or the polish or designs you’ve currently got on is getting old and wear
away. That’s why I thought that I would share you guys a super quick and easy
yet gorgeous looking way of rocking your nails. Unfortunately, I’m not actually
allowed to paint my nails (yep, I know I’m 14yrs) so I’m just here telling you
guys about a cool way to jazz up your nails, and I can’t even do it myself.. it’s
a sad life. Lol but anyways let’s get started!>>
Step 1) Apply a base coat to your nails of any colour of choice. Some popular ones are light grey, grey, light blue and light pink. Make sure to let it dry before continuing to next step.
Step 2) Soak your nails into some alcohol, or rubbing alcohol for a few seconds.
Step 3) Place the newspaper print side down on the nail an gently press down, making sure not to shift the paper.
Step 4) After about 30secs or so, peel off the newspaper and finish with a top coat to get a fine finish and tah dah! Results = fabulous nails!!
Tips&Tricks
-Apart from alcohol/vodka, and rubbing alcohol, some people use mouthwash or simply water. I've never tried it out so I'm not too sure but people seem to lean more to the alcohol or rubbing alcohol side for better results.
- To avoid blurred letters, try your best to stay super still. Simply roll your fingers over the newspaper on your nails.
- Keep a cotton bud, cotton wool and nail polish remover nearby so yo can quickly wipe away any mistakes and clean up!
So that's all from me today guys, I hope you enjoyed and actually give this a go. Feel free to share your results and any tips down in the comments! Thanks for reading,
