10 Things To Do When You're Bored in The Summer

Hey everyone,

Today I thought I'd do a bit of a chatty/lifestyle blog post as I feel like writing as I haven't been on my blog for so long! So I know that summer holidays are coming up soon, so I thought i'd put this blog post together to share some ideas of what you can do when you're bored :D


Hope you enjoy :)

1. Start a project on your blog. If you haven't already....create a blog and start sharing what you do each day and enjoy interacting with others. Or..if you already have a blog, start a new series or project on it and set yourself the challenge of writing about something each day. It could be anything from what you eat to what makeup you wore...have fun with it :D

2. Practice your nail art. Why not get your nail polishes out and get creative! Look up inspiration and start coming up with new ideas on your nails, play around with colours you wouldn't use before and even look up and treat yourself to some new nail tools.





3. Decorate your room/reorganise it. Occupy yourself by changing up the layout of your bedroom or any room for that matter or even redecorate it. You could go and paint your room a different colour, swap out your bedding and cushions or just DIY some new things for your room. Look online for inspiration and pop into you local charity shops...imagine how to use objects for different reasons..e.g. use a cake stand for a jewellery holder :)





4. Experiment with photography. Why not use your camera or your camera on your phone to take pictures. Have fun with taking pictures of objects around your house or town and maybe even edit them? Even print them off and add them to an album or share online..on your blog.

5. Set yourself a challenge with only £10. Give yourself a budget of £10 and try and buy all the things for one project...could be ingredients for a cake...or paint for decorating or ornaments to decorate a section of your room.


6. Start organising with a planner. Introduce yourself to the world of decorating planners and buy your own. Collect and make your own washi tape, post-it notes and bookmarks to plan your life and make your usual planner look cute and personalised to your own style. 



7. Look for some ideas on Pinterest. I love to use Pinterest when i'm bored to search for new ideas and inspiration for any type of project. It could be anything from making a card to building a shed in your garden!




8. Try to create art. I personally love to paint, draw and sketch when i'm bored...so why not try it out, you don't have to be good at it, enjoy the process and even get your friends around to have a laugh and look at what each other have created!


9. Bake and decorate a cake. Use ingredients around your home and look up some recipes to bake a cake...then decorate it :) Take your time with it or have your friends and family time you to create a chosen design.




10. Get a new look. Change up the way you look...get a new haircut, try out a new makeup look and even try and buy a different style of clothes. Surprise your friends and family with your new look :D



Hope you enjoyed this post :) Let me know if you liked this style of blog post?

NOTD #6 --- Halloween inspired

Hey everyone,

Halloween has been and gone but I thought I'd share with you what I painted and decorated my nails with .... Since halloween counts as an excuse to wear dark vampy colours including lots of black, red and purple, I thought that I'd paint my nails with a deep red and add some black accents.

(of course before anything I always paint my nails with a coat of Nail Envy to prevent staining)

Then.. I painted my nails with the actual colour I would like to use which was this 'Rimmel London Lycra nail polish in 391 Celebrity bash:


♥ ♥ ♥

Then I added some black beads to each cuticle:


(they're all flatback and very easy to apply using tweasers)

♥ ♥ ♥

And to seal it all in I used another layer of OPI Nail Envy and sped up the drying process using my OPI drip drying drops:


And then this is what my nails looked like:


(excuse the bit of nail varnish on my skin, this was taken straight after painting them)

I hope you enjoyed this blog post...as always I really enjoyed writing it and making it...stay tuned for the next post and check out my links below:

NOTD #3

Hey everyone, 

So today I thought I'd post yet another nail of the day/week because I change up my nails so much and I thought I'd share with you what I have on my nails.


So the nail varnish I have on is a pastel blue/purple colour by Nails Inc. It's called an 'InStyle' nail polish. Unfortunately, my bottle doesn't have a name on the bottom but I think it's called bluebell. So if you type in 'Nails Inc Bluebell' this nail polish will come up :)


I haven't really added any other little details to m nails, I just wanted them plain and simple but I did finish them off with a clear coat of the Seche Vite dry fast top coat.

I hope you enjoyed this short post... thank you for reading. Be sure to check out my links

NOTD #2

Hey everyone, 

So sorry I haven't posted in a while but I've been so busy this week. If you want to keep up with what I am doing and when new posts will be up... be sure to follow my twitter:



                                          

So I painted my nails with the Nails Inc - In Style Nail Polish in 'You're a Peach' Then for my ring finger, I used the small caviar beads out of a small duo from Ciate in 'Cookies and Cream'.




Although I enjoyed the look of the beads, they became a bit annoying to me and I eventually had to take them off.


Thank you for reading this post (sorry I haven't posted much)

NOTD #1 - Essie Mint Candy Apple + Little Silver Bows

Hey everyone,

So I posted a picture the other day on instagram of my nails and I thought that I would show you readers too in case you aren't following me on instagram. 


So this is what my left hand nails look like: 




I decided add a 3D silver bow on my left hand as I'm right-handed and wouldn't use my left as much so it would be less of a risk of it catching on something then coming off. 
The little bow which I used was from out of a little pack of bows that I think are from amazon or eBay but if you type in 'nail art bows', i'm sure they'll come up or ones similar:


These are the bows which I brought


I use my right hand more than my left, so I decided not to add a bow but use small strips of tape to add silver stripes down my ring finger. The silver nail polish which I used is called 'No Place Like Chrome' by Essie. 
This silver is the best nail polish I have ever owned! It dries within seconds and you only need 1 coat of the colour and your nails are done.

Thank you for reading, follow me for more blog posts to come and don't forget to check out my links below
