Recent book faves

This last couple of months I have had quite a few favourite books so i thought  would share 2 with you.

1. life with a sprinkle of glitter by Louise Pentland

So if you haven't heard of Louise she is a blogger and Youtuber and her recent released book is a sort of guidebook, you can just read random chapters or sit and read in an order. They're is advice about school and dating. Every page has different borders and amazing colours with such lovely designs and so much glitter, My favourite section is 
CREATE

~ Setting up a home

~ Prettifying your room

~ Crafts

~ Anti-baking  

2. Paper Towns by John Green 

 You've probably heard of this as the film recently came out and John green is also a best selling author of the fault in our stars .The story of paper towns follows a teenage boy and his high school crush Margret (portrayed by Cara) who runs away and Quentin finds clues and hints as why and where she runs away. This was one of the only novels in a while that I couldn't put down ,the book is really well written and the characters were just really well developed the storyline is original and easy to follow.

What's in my bag -Jess

This is what I keep in my bag minus all the wrappers and tissues at the bottom.

Lip balm - I actually keep three but they are always so handy.

Wallet - This is obvious but sometimes money and cards just end up at bottom of my bag.

Tissues - I always have hay fever so can't really leave the house without tissues.

Mascara, powder, lipgloss - Because we all have days where we can't face the world without a good face on !

Pencil case - Mainly for school but I always have it in there.

Notebook/planner - Unfortunately I do often forget a notebook but when I have it i'm always using it to right down songs I hear, clothes I see and ideas get.

Water bottle - (usually empty)

Perfume/ body spray - After P.E lesson when you don't feel like walking round covered in sweat.

Headphones - Pretty self explanatory

Compact mirror, tweezers and headbands

Love, Jess xxx

Smoothies

Do you ever find yourself really wanting to drink a refreshing smoothie to not only hydrate you but also to eating your five a day? if you have then we have both put together a few folders that we think you may find useful full of recipes!

So to start off any day I love to make myself a smoothie, I find these on my Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/bellaahammond/ or Jessie's WeHeartIt http://weheartit.com/jessiepink108?page=2&before=179135407.

This post is going to be links to my favourite pages from my Pinterest. I love all of these equally and they definitely start me up for the day.

However if I am out and about I think that the Costa fruit coolers are just as scummy!

We have got a rota for our new posts and will be sticking to it! we are also very sorry for not posting/having a structure to our posts however now that school is going to an end and exams are almost over we will be positing a lot more frequently for you guys.

What do you like to drink during hot weather to fuel you for the day?

Bella's hair skin and makeup faves

It took me a while but I eventually narrowed it down to my top; skin, hair and makeup items. I recommend all these items and have bought these products several times. However, just because they work for me doesn't mean they will work for you, but its worth trying new products from time to time to stretch your comfort zone.


My first product is my make up product. I had to think long and hard at this but then I realised that the product I use everyday even on a no-makeup day is my Body Shop Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder in 04. I find that this shade gives my face an all over bronze and shows off natural contours however what I love most about this product is that it is a matte bronzer and has a cute compact mirror as well. This product retails at £13.00




My favourite skincare product is by Lush and it is the Ultrabland cleanser. I use this not only to take off my make up but also to wash my face. £7.25 for 45g £11.50 for 100g

This lotion is my favourite hair product due to not leaving a greasy feeling to my hair or weighing it down like other products I have used before. I recommend this highly and it isn't too pricey I don't think so everyone can try it out. This product is £6.00/ 100g.

Flaunt Your Feet

So summer is here and that means bare feet, sandals and flip-flops. Over winter you may not have been giving your feet the love they deserve and probably not flashing your toes around so its time to show them care and attention.

To start with just give them a bath using a foot or exfoliating scrub. You can use body scrubs however foot skin is thicker so you may need something more heavy duty. The body do a really nice foot scrubs Peppermint soothing foot scrub is amazing and has volcanic rock in it to help exfoliate (not as scary or painful as it sounds) .I would also recommend a pummel stone to get rid of dead skin on the bottom of your feet you can get these at all boots and superdrug.

Now for toes! In summer I like to paint my toes bold colours that might not be able to get away with on my nails (at school). You could just as easy opt for a manicure french tips these have many advantages; They go with anything no matter the colour of your shoes, when they do chip from swimming in the sea its less obvious, clean cut so you can dress up with a open toes heal ! My favourite nail vanishes are
ESSIE



To moisturise my feet I use BARE FOOT heal & callus balm (in peppermint and plum). I have found that with this on I don't have to wait for it it dry or soak in i can put on my shoes straight away and if my feet get wet the cream doesn't make them all sticky like some I have tried do.

Happy Birthday Jessie

So as you guys had probably gathered that last week it was my birthday well today is Jessie's birthday  so here is my tribute to my best friend ever.

Jessie, where do i start off? okay so due to our mothers knowing each other we were still in nappies and drooling when we first saw each other (thats a pretty good first impression i think) we then stopped drooling and started to talk (which is more pleasant). since then we have been incapable and I'm super glad to have you because I have no idea where I would be without you or what sort of person I would be. My best friend is my partner in crime, today is a day of celebration and trouble making for this best friend duo. Happy Birthday.
