3 Day to Night Outfit Ideas for Winter

Hi my lovely angels! Do you have those days in winter when its super cold but you can’t figure out what to wear because it will all be buried under layers of coats and jumpers? Especially those nights when you want to go out and have fun but don’t want to freeze in short bodycon dresses.. Well here’s some inspiration for you xx

I am featuring one of my beautiful friends, Stecy because I LOVED her outfit and she is so gorgeous so I thought to capture her outfit in this post 🙂

1) This is a perfect winter daytime look. You can throw on a long, nude jacket as well. Even the color is perfect for winter time! And because it has long sleeves it will keep you warm.

Dress – Forever 21

Boots – Fabio Dericci (in St Stephen’s Green Mall if you live in Ireland)

2) I am obsessed with nudes this winter and I LOVE pairing the outfit with nude heels so I got a bit carried away and wore the same heels in both outfits haha I am sure we all went through that kind of obsession right?

I kept my hair simple by adding just a few waves with my straightener. Yes I curl my hair with a straightener!! Everyone has crazy beauty tricks 😉

Nude t-shirt and White jumper – Primark

Normal black leggings – Forever 21

Heels – Unfortunately I don’t remember. I bought them a long time ago but you can pair this outfit with any nude heels of your choice 🙂

3) This is the outfit I would wear if I were to have a night out with some of my girl friends. Lately I have been so into lace tops and lace tights. AND the top is nude so of course I had to wear it 🙂

The last photo shows the makeup I did on that day. It’s very simple with all matte shades using my Urban Decay’s Naked 2 palette (available in Debenhams, Ireland) and on my lips I had Sleek’s Matte Me Lip Cream in ‘Birthday Suit’.

Top and Shorts – HnM

Lace tights – Primark

DIY 20 Cute Christmas Decorations (Quick Last Min Ideas)

Its almost 2 weeks to Christmas and we all deal with that last min rush whether it’s about wrapping the gifts (which most of us suck at) or decorating the house.

The Christmas spirit is everywhere. Dublin around this time is the most beautiful with all the lights and pretty decorations. Although if you are going there for shopping at this time of the year… good luck waiting in the 2 hr queues everywhere! It can get.. a little crowdy. But it’s totally worth it with the most amazing friends! Below is just a glimpse of what Dublin looks like during Christmas and yes that’s the main city centre.

Argo Naturals 100% Pure Thanaka Powder Review

argo naturals thanaka powder

Argo Naturals is a brand that sells hand-cultivated products from the “Golden Land” Myanmar. What attracted me to their brand is their organic and natural products. Not only their product is natural but their packaging is also 100% biodegradable.

Their cult product is the Thanaka Powder. which is obtained from a Burmese Thanaka Tree. This powder is an ancient beauty secret of Burma It is a new and raving discovery in the beauty industry. It’s definitely a beauty staple in the East. I recently got my hands on this product so here’s my review… (more…)

DIY: Boost Eyebrow / Lash Growth Naturally

We all had those days when we over-plucked our eyebrows and ended up with sharp and straight lines of hair that are barely visible.

Lucky for you girls now that I am sharing with you an easy DIY which will give your brows length and volume. It works just as great for eyelashes too. You won’t need false eyelashes and expensive brow liners after this.

I wish I had an older sister to give me a perfect solution in those awkward situations.. sigh*

This DIY is inexpensive, super easy and quick. You can call it ‘Brow/Lash Growth Serum‘. Give it a fancy name to make it more magical because let’s admit it.. if some lotion potion can grow my eyebrows and eyelashes, it’s pretty magical!

And all you need is 2 ingredients

How to Stop Hair Breakage Naturally!

When I was in my teens, my hair would break by just running my fingers through them.

And then there’s the horror of too much hair in the bath tub. Yup, I went through that! That horror was worse than watching Paranormal Activities.

So I spent hours on trying to get help from google and anyone else who suffered through it. There were lots of solutions but most of them were a fail.

The one’s I mention below are the ones that worked best for me and they are all 100% natural. Adding sulfates and ammonium to your hair is the last thing you want to do if you are trying to make them stronger… (more…)

DIY: Detox Water to Shrink Your Belly in 10 Days

DIY: Detox Water to Shrink Your Belly in 10 Days

I have been trying out this detox water for a few weeks now and let me tell you how AMAZING it is!!!
It is easy to make and you don’t need any weird ingredients.

Detox water helps in getting rid of the toxins from your liver and melt all the fat.
Doesn’t that sound lovely…
So if you have that little pooch in your lower belly or in my case.. a pregnant-like belly (sorry for TMI), this is perfect to kick-start your metabolism, give a boost of energy and refresh your morning.

I started noticing results in only 10 days.
Now that’s an elixir of life for me because I have been constantly looking for something to slim down my belly area and nothing has worked better than this so far.

Read more to get your belly slim and healthy…

All You Need:
3 slices of cucumber
Half a lemon or lime
1/2 tbsp grated Ginger
3-4 Mint leaves
1/2 tbsp honey

detox water with cucumber lime ginger mint and honey

  • The cucumber slices should be as thin as possible so it can add more flavour to the water.
  • Squeeze the lemon juice in your cup. I also add one more slice of lemon just because it looks nice in my cup and adds colour… I know it doesn’t matter but hey.. it makes the drink look more refreshing and summer-y.
  • Ginger is the main ingredient here because it really boosts your metabolism up for the day. Grate the ginger and add it in your cup.
  • Mint leaves add the most refreshing flavour to the drink so just add the leaves in your cup. It doesn’t matter if they are frozen or fresh.
  • Now add water to fill your cup. The water should be approximately 200-300 ml.
  • Add honey after adding the water and stir it all up.

I prepare this detox drink just before I go to sleep and put it in the refrigerator overnight. Then I just drink it up in the morning. You can also make it in the morning and add some ice cubes but who has time in the morning.
I drink this first thing in the morning and I keep a 15-20 mins gap before eating my breakfast. In those 15-20 mins I finish doing my make-up or hair for the day.

detox water with honey lime ginger cucumber and mint

You can also fill this water in a bottle and bring it to your workplace or if you are travelling around constantly. I would love to just pull out this bottle on a hot summer day.

In Ayurveda the ginger is said to ignite the fire (not literally of course) for better digestion and a healthy gut. It increases the digestive juices and improves absorption of the nutrients in your body.

Honey cleanses the gut and adds sweetness to conceal the taste of ginger.

Mint contains a lot of vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants to improve your digestive power. Also it tastes good in the water.

Lemon and cucumber maintains your metabolism throughout the whole day.

On the days I have this detox drink, I feel like my energy levels are much higher and this makes sense because if your metabolism is higher then you will feel much more energetic. I also get more appetite since the metabolism has increased, I feel hungry more often.
Who doesn’t like eating food constantly..

But of course you have to eat healthy and clean. You can indulge in junk food for a day or two in a week keeping it to a minimum quantity but if you eat nachos with extra cheese everyday then you can’t expect effective results.

My belly is almost flat now and it’s been 3 weeks that I am on this detox.
Although I wasn’t consistent with it because of some travelling but even though I didn’t keep it up everyday, it has given me an amazing result.

Now my travelling days are over so I have been consistent with it lately.
I have tried detox drinks before but this one was the most effective with noticeable results.

Do you have a secret detox drink recipe?
