Blogmas Is Back!

Blogmas 2016!

Hello Everyone,

This is just a quick post to tell you that I am going to be doing Blogmas again this year. Last year I did it and really enjoyed it so this year I am going to do it again.

I'm going to be honest it hasn't been easy to think of different Christmas themed blog posts for this year but I've managed to do it and I really like some of the ideas I have come up with for this year.

If you aren't aware what Blogmas is, it means that I will Blog every single day from the 1st December - 24th December. Each post will be a different Christmas themed post.

There is no regular time that these will be posted. I will just post them at whatever time is best for me each day.

I'm really looking forward to doing this again and I can't wait for you all to read my post. Hopefully they will help to get you into the Christmas spirit. I hope you're all excited!

Thanks for reading!

My Nail Care Routine!

Hello Everyone,

If you've read my blog for a while you may know that I really enjoy looking after my nails. It's sort of like a hobby of mine. I don't see it as a chore, I find it relaxing and I like having nice nails. So today I thought I would tell you my step by step guide to getting nice nails.

Step 1 - Soak your fingers in warm water

This is a good way to treat your nails and it softens and soothes them.

Step 2 - Cut your nails

Now that your nails are soft it is much easy to cut them. It's up to you whether you cut them short or trim them so they are still long.

Step 3 - File your nails

Next you need to file your nails. Its up to you what shape you file them into whether it be square or rounded but it is important to only file them in one direction.

Step 4 - Massage your nails with Vaseline

This is another good way of treating your nails and helping to make them soft and smooth.

Step 5 - Push your cuticles back

Gently push your cuticles back with a cuticle stick. This makes your nails look tidy.

Step 6 - Wipe your nails with nail varnish remover

This will get rid of any old nail varnish still on the nails and also remove the Vaseline now that it has had a chance to sink in and have the desired affect.

Step 7 - Rinse

Rinse your nails off with water so they are all cleans and ready to paint. Dry off your nails with a towel.

Step 8 - Apply a clear base coat

Applying a clear base coat of nail varnish provides a soft base for the coloured nail varnish to go on. It also makes it easier when you are removing your nail varnish as it avoids bits being left on the nail where you can reach with the cotton wool pad.

Step 9 - Apply coloured coats

Apply two coats of your chosen colour. This will make your nails look a lot better as they won't be patchy. Make sure you leave plenty of time for you nails to dry otherwise the second coat won't go on properly. If you're impatient it might be worth investing in some of the quick dry drops.

Step 10 - Apply a clear top coat

This will help to keep the nail colour on longer and avoid chipping.

Step 11 - Treat your hands

Finally, I like to put some hand cream on my hands and massage it into my hands. This nicely finishes off the treatment and there's no point in treating your nails and not your hands.

So that is my nail treatment routine. It's really nice to treat your nails everyone once in a while so if you have some free time follow this step by step guide to having nice nails. Thanks for reading!

Healthy Eating, Healthy Diet!

Image from the internet

Hello Everyone,

Today I wanted to talk to you about healthy eating and diets. I am no expert on what to eat and what not to eat. I am the biggest chocolate fan and I've never really tried dieting but I do have an interesting in being healthy and eating healthily. I thought I would write this post to talk to you about the basic food knowledge but this is in no way advice or me telling you what you should and shouldn't eat.

Recently I was reading and this is basically what was said about food and portions. These are probably the basic knowledge that might be helpful to know if you are thinking about starting to eat more healthy.

Carbs

e.g. potato, pasta, bread, cereal

Carbs are the things that you should fill up on. They are the foods that will give you energy. However, these should only be eaten in proportion because they aren't the healthiest foods.

Dairy
e.g. cheese, yoghurt, milk
You should eat small portions of dairy products everyday. Dairy products contain calcium which is good for your bones.

Treats
e.g. chocolate, fizzy drinks, crisps, sweets
These types of foods should be seen as treats and should only be consumed occasionally. I have to be honest, I eat all of these things so I can't say to you that I don't but they should still be seen as treats because they aren't that good for you.

Protein
e.g. baked beans, eggs, meat, fish, nuts
Your diet should include small servings of these types of foods. Foods that are  high in protein are important for your diet and good for you as long as they are consumed in proportion.

Fruit & Veg
e.g. strawberries, mango, melon, carrots, peas
The recommended intake of fruit and veg is 5 portions per day. It is important to try and stick to this as this is the best type of food for you. This can be done easily if you try to incorporate as much veg into your meals as possible and by having fruit for breakfast and as a snack.

Water
Water is really good for you and you are recommended to drink a lot per day. Drinking a lot of water can have many beneficial effects.

I just want to repeat that I am only trying to establish some basic knowledge and I am in no way trying to tell you what you should and shouldn't eat  or how to be healthy. This is just some basic information about food. I do have an interest in trying to eat more healthy and trying to eat the correct things so I thought that I would share this information with you. Thanks for reading!
