How To Fake Tan

Hey guys!

As a true pale Irish girl, the only kind of tan my body will ever get is from a bottle. Whenever I’m somewhere that’s really sunny (i.e not Ireland!) I lather up in factor 50 and wear sun tops and baseball caps. Somehow I usually burn anyway and although I like when I get past the pain and the burn turns to tan I would prefer to stay pale in the first place. I’ll take pasty skin over skin cancer, wrinkles and dark spots thank you very much!

Anyway this is where the magic that is fake tan comes into play. Generally I only put on fake tan when I’m going out but as it’s summer I have decided that I might start applying it more often. My current tan of choice is the Cocoa Brown 1 hour tan mousse which is really easy to apply and lasts well. However as it is a mousse it tends to stick to your knees and elbows after the rest of the tan has washed off. The last time I wore this tan I got several compliments about how good it looked, which is always nice!

I think that over the years I have perfected my tanning routine and so today I will share that with you!

Current Skincare Routine

Hey guys!

It’s been a while since I’ve written a post on skincare. My skincare routine doesn’t change as often as it used to as my acne has gotten a lot better due to a medication I was on. However I am still really interested in skincare and love trying new products. Today I thought that I could update you on my current skincare routine. It’s quite simple and doesn’t involve very many products as I’ve come to realise that sometimes the best thing for my skin is to just leave it alone!



What I Wore In Croatia

Hey guys!

Yesterday I returned from a ten day trip to Croatia with my family. It was a holiday of sun burn, ice cream and swimming and it was lots of fun. I am currently itching my entire body due to both bug bits and peeling sun burn! Anyway I thought that I could share with you a few of the outfits I wore while I was there. I have to admit that I forgot to get pics of my outfits most days and often I spent most of the day in my bikini anyway! But here are a few of the outfits I did manage to capture.

Bronze Eyes and Dark Nude Lips- Simple Makeup Look

Hey guys!

This is a look I created a while ago just on a day when I was going for lunch with my friend. I also got my hair wash, cut and blowdried that morning so that's why it's looking all sleek and not crazy. As I didn't really have anywhere else to go other than lunch and I didn't want the look to go to waste, I decided to take some selfies because why not? If you think you're looking damn fine you take those selfies girl.

Anyway I thought that I would share this look with you today as I had the pictures on my camera and thought I might as well throw them up here!

Summer Holiday Haul

Hey guys!
As you're reading this I'll actually be in Croatia cause this is a post I had pre-prepared! After months of being cooped up studying in my room I finally got to hit the shops and God had I missed them. On this day we only had a couple of hours so I didn't get a huge amount but I did get some holiday essentials.

I'm Back!

Hey guys!

I can't believe that it's been 5 weeks since my last post!! Throwback to my 2016 Goals  when I said that I would post at least once every two weeks haha. But I do have a pretty good excuse because I sat my Leaving Cert from the 8th to the 23rd of June. So, obviously I've been pretty busy studying for that and since then I've been pretty busy celebrating the fact that it's  over!

OOTD 6 May

Hey guys!

I go to a uniform wearing school so my usual daily attire is shirt and tie however every now and again we have 'casual days'. These are days when you can wear your own clothes and pay 2 euro in aid of some charity. Yesterday was one of these casual days and this is what I wore. Of course I went with my classic high waisted black jeans and superstars. I actually wore the shirt but I thought a denim jacket would also go well with this outfit!
