I bought the Sensationail at home gel kit a while ago because I was a bit over paying £30 a pop to have my nails done by someone else when I could easily do them myself.I was fed up of traditional nail polish never lasting more than a day though, so this was the perfect answer, and at around £50 for the kit, after just two uses you've already made a saving on what you would have if you'd gone to a nail salon. 

I recently decided I was bored of having blonde hair, wanting to fulfil my dream of being a fiery red head (not to mention getting peer-pressured by my work colleagues to do it) so I picked up a box of hair dye and went red-strawberry blonde-orange. 

I bloody love a good face mask and have really got back into using them recently. I find that they're one of those things that are easily forgotten in a skincare routine, but when you do start using them again you wonder why you ever stopped (laziness, let's be honest). I've loved using lots of hydrating face masks recently as my skin has really been feeling quite dehydrated (not enough water intake) so I thought I'd share the three that I'm absolutely loving right now. 

Uncomfortable as it is for me, I will be baring my naked face in this post, in the hopes that it might help anyone out there going through the same thing that I did! 

I had some skin issues throughout 2016 and I wanted to share my story with you, just in case anyone out there is suffering with similar symptoms. I'm lucky to have always had good skin, it's always been pretty clear, smooth and 'stable'. I obviously got the odd breakouts when I was in my teens and still get the odd spot here and there now (I'm 26) but I can also go months without any problems at all. So in May last year when I started noticing some differences in my skin, namely a dry red patch just at the corner of my mouth and slightly below my nose on the right side, as well as some bumpy skin above my right eyebrow that just seemed like some blocked pores, I wasn't too concerned and just thought it was a form of eczema or dermatitis (such a vague term). 

A list of 29 things before I turn 29 next month, that I would tell me younger self....

1. 29 is really not that old
2. Although compared to being 19, you will notice considerable differences in your ability to party and drink and generally socialise
