♡My Love For Cara Delevingne♡

Hello lovelies this post is one that I have chosen to do myself and it has not been requested but I thought that I would tell you about my love for Cara Delevingne and where it all came from.

I suppose the obvious thing to tell you is why I love her and there's quite a few reasons but I will tell you them.

Firstly she is beautiful and she always looks perfect, she is one of the prettiest models I have ever seen and I'm not normally a huge fan of any models but I think that Cara Delevingne is just so beautiful and she just stands out. She also has a great personality (from what I have read and seen anyway haha) in lots of picture she is wearing onesies and other silly costumes and always pulling faces which shows that she is not like other snobby, posh models who think there too good for anything. Shes always having fun and shes never worried about anyone getting a picture of her when she doesn't look her best. 

The whole nation loves her at the moment and she is in every single magazine but I found out about her when everyone started hyping and uploading photos of Cara on instagram and suddenly I became obsessed and now she is my idol. I just think she is amazing, so beautiful and deserves all the attention.

♡Tips And Tricks To Grow Long Nails♡

Hello blogger friends, now my iPhone is letting me upload my photos onto my laptop which means more frequent blogging YAY. So I will start with a post that has been very highly requested on instagram which is tips on how I grow my nails. On instagram I always get asked how I grow my nails and I dont have any specific way I just have 10 tips and tricks which may help you to grow yours so lets just get into it!

Firstly I just thought I'd let you know that I don't use any nail growing products and I have had long nails since I can remember  For nail polish remover I use the Sally Hansen 'regular nail polish remover for all nail types' and it isn't a good nail polish remover to use as it contains acetone which is harmful to the nails (oopsy). I paint my nails every Sunday and I can't stand how my nails look when they aren't painted so painting them is like a ritual to me haha. Firstly I take off my old nail polish, file them in a square shape, paint them with a normal nail polish e.g. Avon nailwear pro in apricot (in the picture below) and then I use my favorite top coat over the top. The top coat that I use is Sally Hansen 'insta-dry' and I love this and I will defenitley be re-purchasing this again in the future, it literally dries my nails in around 40 seconds, makes them super shiny and stops them from chipping. 

10 Tips And Tricks That You Could Try:
1. Try and use an acetone free nail polish remover (unlike me) because acetone weakens the nails and dries them out so your nails will break very easily.
2. Try not to bite your nails (I know that this can be hard for some people) personally I feel ill at even the thought of biting my nails and I have never done it but if this is your habit then try and stop if you can.
3. Don't use your nails as tools to open things e.g cans or tins as this will make them break very easily.
4. If you are going to cut your nails then cut them whilst they are wet as this will help to prevent breakage on the rest of the nail.
5. Moisturize your nails and cuticles as this will keep them hydrated and nourished. I reccomend using the Vaseline hand cream in the pink tube, its great.
6. I don't know if this helps a lot but I always wear nail polish and I suppose this acts as like a second coat to your nails (if you know what I mean haha) so it makes them thicker and stronger and it makes them less likely to break. Even if you don't wear nail polish or your not allowed to wear it to school then you could just wear a clear top coat to keep them healthy.
7. keep good care of them, so file them every now and then to make sure there not going to catch on things which will break and chip them.
8. When you file your nails, file them in one direction so they don't get weaker and break.
9. I don't use one but maybe you could try using a 'fast nail growth' top coat (I think Sally Hansen do one) because this would help them to grow faster.
10. If your really serious about growing your nails then you could take Biotin which is a vitamin that helps skin, hair and nails to grow healthier and quicker. Its the vitamin that is found in most skin, hair and nail tablets but by taking pure Biotin it will work faster. You can buy this from Holland & Barret.

On the top left are my natural nails with no nail polish on, the bottom right is my nails when they have been freshly filed and painted and the other picture is the nail polish remover and top coat that I use and love.

♡My Thoughts On - Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips♡

Hello everyone, today I am going to be doing another 'my thoughts on' post, I apologize if you do not like these types of posts but I have had a few requests on Instagram and this was one of them. Anyway this post is going to be a review on the Biore deep cleansing pore strips. I purchased mine in Boots for half price reduced from £10.99 to around £5. Mine are the combo strips so the pack contains 7 nose strips and 7 face strips and you can buy packs with just 7 nose strips in but at the time these were the cheapest so I thought it would be a better deal. I have used the strips a few times now and I am impressed with them. It comes with full instructions on the box but basically you remove the plastic backing from the strip and apply to it to your nose or forehead (which has to be wet so the strip can stick to the skin) then you leave it to work for around 10-15 minutes then you remove the strip and its as simple as that! There super easy to use and the results are great, I can defenitley see that the pores around my nose are less clogged when I remove the strip and I can feel that it has taken away all the oil from my pores which is fantastic. I reccomend getting these if you have oily skin, clogged pores or blackheads because they will help to reduce the appearance of all these things. All in all these are brilliant and they really do work so I will defenitley be re-purchasing them when they are on offer again, thanks for reading
