In case you haven't already guessed, I'm not a DIY person. DIY beauty yes but DIY drilling, hammering, sawing - not me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a prissy little madam who can't break a nail or smudge a lipstick (believe me I break & smudge a plenty for the right burger) but when it comes to real hammer-in-my-hand DIY, I just have zero clue what I'm doing or where to start.

Turn Your Junk Into Joy! Upcycling Old Washing Machines With Currys

It's here! My second proper YouTube video! I got a lot of lovely comments on my What I Wore To The Wedding post last week and a lot of people had been asking me about how I did my nails.

Here's the secret - it's actually really easy! DONT TELL ANYONE. There is actually a more complex way to do ombre nails properly but if you're a nail art novice or if you only have 10 minutes then THIS is the method for you. 

All you need is two nail polishes and a piece of sponge.

The rest.... is all in this video! It's very short, less than 5 minutes - so take a look!

DIY Ombre Nail Tutorial using Essie & Models Own

So i have a thing about not wearing makeup. The thought of going bare faced in public is actually horrifying. No, dont worry, this isn't an annoying case where girl says "errmagahd, I am sooo ugly, tell me how pretty I am" - I'm just saying I feel much more confident wearing makeup.  (and I look better!)

So now you've got the background, imagine my dilemma when I was preparing for my Three Peaks challenge the other month! 


If I wear makeup on the mountain it'll end up melting off my face and onto my clothes. Panda eyes in addition to my puffy red face ain't gonna a good look. 

And more importantly, there's going to be photos on each mountain and a video montage. A montage! Girl's gotta look good in a montage.


So what did I do the weekend before my hike? Only a DIY Brow Tint and Eyelash Extension! How

If you were to get this professionally done every fortnight it really can add up, but doing it myself only set me back an hour and less than £15. Everyone kept asking how I got these results and I wanted to prove just how easy it is! So here we go  a cheeky DIY tutorial and review of the products I used. Enjoy!



Part 1. The easiest, the DIY brow tint.

Barefaced Confidence Part1 : A DIY Brow Tint How-To

Hi team, so today I thought I'd bring you something slightly different to the normal product and waaa chat.

Last week I went to Zoo Lates, a series of evening events held at London Zoo- basically over-18s going to the zoo plus booze, grown up fancy dress and lots of pictures striking a "fierce" pose.

Never one to shy away from fancy dress, my friends and I decided to fully embrace the challenge by going as a plethora of Noah's Ark creatures. I love fancy dress but most of all, I love face painting!

I guess it's really an extension of makeup, maybe that's why I enjoy it so much?




So, as you may be able to tell from above picture - I decided to go as a deer, and after uploading it to my Instagram I got lots of requests on how to do it. So I thought - give the people what they want - here's a little tutorial of how I got the look...
