Happy Holidays- essentials, tips, treats, and lots more

So happy summer holiday to everyone who lives in England, and to everyone in America I am incredibly jealous that you have a whole 2-3 months off. Compared to our mere 7 weeks (which I thought was long!) that is very lucky. So anyway seeing as it is finally summer I thought I would share with you some tips, tricks, essentials, and lots more.
 
 
 MAC eyeshadow- swish (pink) jest (champagne)
Models Own- Kohl white eyeliner
BarryM- Neon pink Dazzle Dust
Rimmel London-Fix and Perfect Pro Primer
Models Own- Lipgloss ( cant find the name, sorry)

*tip- if you use MAC swish eyeshadow as a base all over the lid, and then using an angle brush put BarryM's Neon Pink dazzle dust in the crease. 
Salt spray is great for the summer because it looks like you have tried really hard to get beach waves however they are actually effortless (shhh!), my pleasure.
 And of course you have to use suncream, but you don't want the hassle of rubbing horrible, greasy, sticky mess which only dries about 2 hours after you have put it on. This is the answer Nivea Sun, protect and refresh. Use the spray all over your body this takes less than a minute and then your are ready to go. And personally I prefer to use the cream on my face because it leaves a more matte finish.
*tip- if you like to wear makeup in the summer use the spray on your face which not only stops you from burning but also sets your makeup a bit more.
 I love to have a body spray in my bag over the summer because it refreshes you but also makes you smell delicious! I love all Impulse body sprays but this is my favourite for summer time because it is really sweet (duh,clues in the name!)
 And then you cannot forget a bikini or some sort of swimwear, for this summer I went for a Topshop high waisted simple black bikini. I bought a simple one so that I could wear it with my colourful floral kimono but I did also buy a patterned blue swimsuit!
*tip- if you want to wear a bikini but are a bit self conscious buy a high waisted one as it shows a bit of skin without being to revealing therefore making you feel more confident (and confidence= happiness!)

I hope you enjoyed my post for summer please let me now where you are going on holiday this time, and if you have any tips or advice you want to share. Also I wanted you to vote whether I should show my face or keep this blog anonymous so the poll is at the top I will be happy to listen to your views aswell if you want to tell me more just comment down below. Anyway thank you!

Lots of Love

DIY Pom Pom Garland

So today I thought I would do something a little bit different. I was looking on Pinterest the other day and came across this idea, I thought I would share it with you guys just because I loved it so much.

Wrap thick wool around an old fork aprox. 90 times around and then tie it together with an extra piece of wool make sure that is secure. Once you have done that then start cutting the wool that is looped over it will look like this.
 I tried this technique with lots of different coloured wool and it looks great, my favourite part is that it actually looks really authentic with a homemade vibe to it aswell. Hope you love it as much as I do!
