Live life the henna way

If you follow me on instagram you will proabaly know my love for henna/mehndi. As im typing this with my henna'd up hand i thought i would share my process on how i do it and how to get the best results. One of the reasons i love it is due to how anybody can have a go and its all about experimenting. You can be as free as you want with the design and colour and can do it whenever you want. If i have a bit of spare time and i feel like doodling i now go and grab my henna more than a pencil and paper!

It is becoming more popular in celeb culture with the likes of Christina Milian and Pia Mia showing their henna hands off recently.

I love the brown colour it turns, it just seems more natural and cultural and complements the skin tone rather than the harsh black of a tattoo But hey, thats just me.

♥TIPS♥

# make sure you have the henna squeezed to the end of the tube so that it comes out smooth and not in blobs

# watch some tutorials or copy a picture if you are finding it hard to think of an idea or how to hold the tube

# add oil (NUXE huile prodigieuse - suggested oil) after its started to dry off to darken the colour & give it a good finish

# add glam nails, your fave length and shape to add some pazaz!!

# leave it on for the longest time possible

Have fun creating your henna, experimenting and remember it is all unique to each person :) good luck finding another with the same design. Also it isnt permanant so if you have commitment issues you can just relax on this one ;)

#BEAUTY | Faux Mink Lashes for a Natural/Flattering Look

Lashes don't always have to be worn just for a dramatic effect, they can also be worn to accentuate your eye in a natural yet defining way. I don't wear falsies everyday ( if you do..how do you do it?!) but sometimes when my mood permits me to wear them on an average day I go for a natural/wispy lash or just an accent lash for the outer part of my eye. Buying lashes isn't as an easy job as you may think, you really have to consider the brand due to mink lashes! Luckily I can present to you a brand which have just brought out a line of faux mink lashes as well as their other natural lashes. From fluffy, natural and salon style see how you can get the look below! All lashes from Kiss Faux Mink - LBD Lash Give me all the Hollywood starlet glam! I cant help but feel like Audrey Hepburn or Elizabeth Taylor in these lashes. They are fluffy, wispy yet add a little drama. This lash can be re-used up to 10 times if you look after them im sure they will last even longer th...

#TRAVEL | Liverpool

Its been a month since I visited Liverpool for the first time, its only right that I share my trip :) First of its a very friendly place, but I have come to learn that most places apart from London are....sorry London but its true. I stayed for 2 nights and 3 days and I would say that it was enough time to explore the main parts of Liverpool and get a vibe for it. Im happy that I can now sing "ferry across the mersy" and constantly shout.. I've been there! I've been there! Its the little things that make it worth it aha Im a sucker for being near water and also in the city centre and the hotel I stayed which was called the tune hotel was the perfect walk away from the river as well as the city. A 5 min walk to the famous Cavern Club. Museums are a plenty and I visited them all! My fave being the museum of Liverpool, lots of interactive fun things to do and to learn. I would recommend taking a part of the day to go on the bus tours o...
