Body shop, Camomile eye make up remover. Review

Okay well this is my review on body shop eye make up remover, now anything written here is my personal opinion and in no way should it make you judge this product it is only my personal point of view. Other people may think differently about this product.
Now I have always loved body shop make up and products but when I tried this out, wow I must say it gets a 1 star out of 5, yes it removes the make up but it did hurt my eyes and made them very sore, now I don't have sensitive skin or anything but when I used this product it did make my eyes red and slightly puffy, I must say I was not happy at all with this product. I did expect better from body shop as I have said I do enjoy most of the products done by body shop. I guess that's all I can say about this product. feel free to comment or email me or message me.

What is amigurumi?


Amigurumi started off like most things in Japan. It is small (plush) toys/dolls that you can make, I make many amigurumi bits and bobs and I will put some pictures of my bits up here too. I crochet and knit and to be truthful it is so easy!! I wish I had learnt years ago. I’ve been knitting since I was a kid so crochet was just the next step. Now for those of you who knit I will say this...crochet is easier than knitting, it works up faster and you can make many more shapes so I surest you give it a go! You won’t regret it!


So I have now been crocheting for about 3 years and in that time I have made everything, from apples, to cherries, from pigs to monkeys, anything and everything you can think of, I'm even making a pair of boobies for someone special I know. I will be putting up a photo of them when they are both complete!

If you do a search for stuffed knitted or crochet toys, you will keep seeing the word amigurumi. Amigurumi. Do you know what it means? Technically, Amigurumi is "the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small animals or toys". I read that the word amigurumi originally only referred to crocheted critters but over time knitters have created their own amigurumi patterns so now we have toasters and dolls and pencils and snakes. Amigurumi can be anything you can think of.
Most of the pictures I got off google and I don't know where they came from sorry, but the mouse came from here  :  http://www.demonstrativebears.com/2010/04/07/nibbles-tiny-amigurumi-mouse/comment-page-1/#comment-2684

Hair care... Are you washing your hair properly?

Ever feel like the salon seems to wash you hair in an amazing way that makes it clean for days and makes it feel so much better than when you do it. Me too! so I looked into how to wash your hair properly and it turns out yes I have been washing my hair, just not the way the salons do it and I want salon beautiful hair every day! so here is what I have learnt, I will pass my wisdom onto you so you too can have salon perfect hair every time!!
the tips I have for you!..:-


  • Make sure the water isn’t too hot! I know you guys know this but I just thought I should add some basic stuff too.


  • Always brush you hair before going in the shower, and of course when you wake up and before you go to bed. It may seem simple but it will reduce the amount of hair that will get clogged in your drain and it will also reduce breakage as well as stimulate circulation going in your scalp.


  • When you put shampoo on star at the roots and work your way out to the tips, I use my fingers almost like a spider and lather up the shampoo. I also must say I use a good dollop of shampoo when I do it.


  • This is a big one when washing your hair :Once you think your hair is fully lathered and you are ready to wash off, think again. give yourself a good two minute scalp massage with your fingertips, I normal do it for about 5 mins depending on how bad my fingers are that day. Don't forget circular motions!! About every 20 seconds, While doing this add just a little bit more water to your hands and work it into your hair. What you are doing is helping your shampoo so that it can work the best and doing this also improves circulation in your scalp.


  • I use 2 lots of shampoo and conditioner, so that means, wet hair, shampoo, wash off, shampoo, wash off, conditioner, wash off, conditioner, wash off. and done. I do this about once a week now but if you feel you need it more that’s fine


  • Massage with your fingertips, but not too vigorously! Do not mound hair on top of your head to scrub it, this will cause tangles. You can also use clawed fingers to get the shampoo into the scalp. Make sure you get the shampoo/conditioner everywhere on your scalp.
  • You can use a flat comb (or just use your fingers) and comb out all the knots to make it extra smooth before you use conditioner. Also I do brush my hair with conditioner in for really smooth hair.


  • Start at the tips with conditioner! and them move up to the roots. Some people don’t like to use conditioner on the roots but I do so this is of course my tips for you.


  • End with a rinse of icy cold water. I don’t do this tho but I am letting you know what I have found out! This will not prevent frizz, as you may think cold, but it will give hair shine, but I do find my hair is shiny as it is and I don’t do this. But Water acts to "close the pores" of your hair (as it does with skin), so your hair will look shinier when it dries.
Don’t forget to comment.
Enjoy!

T-zone, blackhead face scrub. Review.


Wow I friggin love, Love, LOVE this product! It is amazing and really good value for money and is my favourite product of all of the things I use. I really love this I feel it working on my skin and I can see and feel a difference. I use it every day as a wash and wow I really don't feel I'm up and awake unless I have washed my face with this. I use it everyday and I would recommend if you have very sensitive skin to use it every couple of days. Now my skin is very robust so when I use this I damp my face then put a good blob on my hand and get to cleaning and scrubbing those pores. I scrub quite hard and I do this for about 5 mins, I then wash it off and carry on with my day. I love how much clearer my skin looks after and I will see if I can do some before and after photos so you guys can see the difference!. I recommend this 100% and give this 5 stars!!! it is really a amazing product! if you suffer black heads and break outs I do recommend you get this product its only about £3 and you wont regret it! Please feel free to comment/message me.

I Tweet and Have a Facebook page too!

I Tweet and Have a Facebook page too! so pelase feel to add me or like or whatever it is you kids do these days! I look faward to hearing from you!.

Sally Hanson HD Nail Polish.

Okay well lookie at the bargain I got I love how bright these are!! They look so fun and so good for the summer, I cant wait till I have some ideas on nail art to do with them! your ideas are very welcome. so we have 5 colours, blue, pink, yellow, purple and green.
Now what I love about these is they really do stand out, big time! the pink and blue are my faves of these I just find they are really something different.
They have a shimmer to them that just makes me think of summer and bright weather and on a gloomy dark day I recommend painting your nails with these to bring some joy and colour to a otherwise gloomy dark day. The photos really don't do them justice and at some point I will get some better ones of them in the sunshine and in proper light.
