HATS!

So I've got this habit, if I own any hats I wear them if I like them for the first month or so but then I just forget about them. But if one of my friends gets a hat then I'll wear it for as long as they'll let me! :D But I'm doing a post on hats, what are your favourite hats?
I think I'm gonna start wearing beanie hats alot more. I've got one at the moment and I love it but it's all sequinny so not really for everyday... But I love beanie's! They're just me, my style... So I'm gonna buy those wooly beanies especially since it's freezing now...
Here's the two I really want:
 Panda!! You gotta love it!

 This is just so me!! :)

What types of hats are there? I can only think of beanies, trilbys and caps and out of them I'd only wear the beanies. :)

How to lose weight/have a healthy lifestyle!

So I found an exercise routine on YourCoffeeCorner.com the other day - '10 Days To Get A Sexy Bikini Body' and I thought I'd try it out. I planned a healthy diet and everything! I'm on day 3 right now so there's not much difference but I think even if the exercise routine doesn't make a difference my diet will - I'm being so much healthier than usual! Anyway here's the exercise routine and diet I'm doing:
(For the diet I haven't planned out each individual day I've just thought of what type of food you should be eating)

If you're aiming to lose weight then around 1500 kcals a day should be what your aiming for if you're just trying to be healthy then your GDA. Try not to eat anything in between the set meals - if you get hungry, don't worry, there's snacks! I based this on the fact that 5 small meals a day are better than 3 big ones.
Remember, before starting any exercise routine always talk to your physician (I think that's the right type of doctor?).

Diet:

Breakfast - A 25g bowl of cereal with 100ml semi-skimmed milk. (You can eat less or more kcals by changing the cereal) If you want you can have toast somedays but I'm sticking with cereal because I want to lose weight.

Lunch - A sandwich and some fruit. Add a cereal bar if you want more for lunch.

Tea - My mum cooks for me unless it's one of my cooking days so I don't really get to choose, just make sure it's nice and healthy. For me I never eat enough fibre in a day so every meal time I try to get as much fibre as I need.

Snacks - Cereal bars, try to limit it to 2 a day. Or you can buy a pack of Go Ahead Crispy Slice and limit it to 3 slices a day like me as the slices come in little packets of 3. If you're hungry after having eaten your max amount of snacks then eat fruit or vegetables as these usually don't have many kcals or fat in them.

Some days allow yourself a treat, such as a line of chocolate, but make sure the kcals and fat content doesn't go over the designated amount.
Write everything down that you eat in a day and what they include (kcals, fibre, fat, carbs, protein) to keep track.

Exercise Routine:

Just so you know, YourCoffeeCorner.com don't know I'm posting about this I'm simply posting a how to complete with my own diet to help you lot.

My Daily Skincare Routine

So here I'll tell you my personal skincare routine and then what you need in yours. :)
(I use Clinique 3-step anti-blemish solutions so if you don't have the clinique stuff then scroll down to the bottom what you should be doing everyday is different with different products)
Every morning I:
Rinse my face with water then massage the cleansing foam into my skin and neck then wash off. I then exfoliate using the exfoliating oil and then moisturise. Finally I moisturise around my eyes with a special eye moisturiser.
I do the same at night except take my makeup off first and put anti-blemish gel on any spots I have after.

For you I'd recommend:
Every morning moisturise using a product specially for your skin-type (oily, dry, combination, sensitive...) even if you have oily skin you have to moisturise.
Every night cleanse your skin and then moisturise. 2-3 days a week exfoliate your skin after cleansing and then moisturise.
It's best to get an eye-moisturiser for around your eyes rather than using your usual moisturiser - around your eyes the skin is incredibly sensitive.

For sensitive skin like me I'd suggest Clinique skincare products (for a daily routine see top) or Simple products but Simple brought me out in spots because my skin is TERRIBLY sensitive.

How to do the Perfect Manicure

This is a how to on nails, it will tell you how to do the perfect manicure and even the perfect french manicure! I do this myself :). It'll make even short nails - like mine - look fantastic!

1. Remove all nail varnish.
2. Soak hands in a bowl of warm water with a couple of drops of lemon juice in for 5 minutes or so. (The lemon juice will remove stains)
3. Push cuticles back with a cuticle stick or the nail on another finger.
4. Rub hand and nail cream into your hands and nails (making sure you rub it into the cuticles) or you can just use hand/body lotion it works just as well.
5. File your nails (cut them too if you want - I always do, I can't deal with long nails) - a squoval is the most flattering nail shape.
6. If you have a nail buffer and polisher then buff and polish your nails.
7. Apply base coat. (For french manicures this will be the light pink shade, for just a normal manicure this is just clear nail varnish) Let it dry for a couple of minutes atleast.
8. Apply middle coat. (For normal manicures this will be your colour, for french manicures this will be the white tips - just get a little bit of white on the brush and carefully paint the tip of your nails - it takes alot of practice to get it right!) Allow to dry for around 5 minutes as this coat is the most important and you don't want it smudging.
9. Apply top coat. Just a clear coat, and allow to dry for a couple of minutes. (Some nail varnish may dry quicker but just to be safe you may want to not touch things with your hands until they're rock-hard-dry)

Tips:

• If you can't paint nails very well without nail varnish going all over your fingers (this happens when using my left hand to paint my right hand!) wrap a bit of sticky tape around the nail half of your finger after step 6 then take off when your nails are dry.
• File, buff and polish in one direction so your nails don't crack.

Celeb Plastic Surgery - Before and After

Does plastic surgery really make you look pretty? Or even just better? Sometimes, I guess, but out of all the celebs you see you only really see a couple that look better after their surgery.

Miley Cyrus

She doesn't look that bad, a bit plastic, but not the worst case out there. She doesn't really look that much different, but then you look at her lips... Which she says look like they've had botox because she had an accident and had to have her top lip sewn back on or something (ewww) for some reason I don't believe her... My friend would kill me for saying that - she loves Miley Cyrus :D.

Ashley Tisdale

Again, the end result isn't bad. But with most plastic surgery it just looks a bit plastic. In this next picture I found of her you can really tell she's had a nose job:


Megan Fox

Before surgery Megan Fox still looked beautiful but she had a more natural, girl-next-door look and the fact that her nose was just slightly less than perfect gave her an air that you could approach her, she wouldn't bite; after surgery she looks too perfect, intimidating. Makes you wonder why she wanted plastic surgery anyway, she was pretty before.

Carrot Top

Now to the scary surgeries :S.
Carrot Top! This picture just speaks for itself.

Jocelyn Wildenstein

Now this is by far the scariest picture I have ever seen! Epic FAIL!

Heidi Montag

Huge plastic boobs strapped to your chest, tiny unnatural-looking nose, botox botox botox, need I go on?

And Last But Definitely Not Least!
Jordan!

Back before all the surgery Katie Price looked amazing, a whole different person! I just cannot understand why you'd trade in her old self for... well, her present one!

Beauty Is Only Skin Deep...

Not true! I know that sounds vain and shallow but it's not! Us girls don't put makeup on or have beauty treatments done to look good for others (or not all the time anyway) mostly we do it for ourselves. If you look good then you feel good. So don't let anyone tell you you're vain for wanting to look your best but listen when they tell you you're beautiful because you are, everyone is.

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode, but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows.

That's why the beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.

~Audrey Hepburn

How To: Have Beautifully Soft Feet!

Here's how to have feet that feel soft to the touch!

 

1. Before bed apply body lotion to your feet.
2. Put on some nice soft socks - I wear furry ones I think they're slipper socks? Apparently it works if you wear cotton socks and I don't know what mine are made out of but my socks make me all warm and cosy so! :D
3. Sleep tight!
4. If you have really dry skin on feet try getting a wet flannel and rubbing it along the bottom of your foot - Mine seemed to go away with just the lotion and socks but this is a quicker way - or use a nail file (or I've heard there are foot files?) along the bottom of your foot if the flannel doesn't work.

 

Hope it works for you!

How To: High School Survival Kit For Girls

First, get a small bag - I use a medium-sized makeup bag which I can just fit in my school bag.
All of the things I list below you'll want to get mini versions of to save space. (And just FYI I do know some schools don't allow some of this stuff (makeup, nail varnish etc.) my school doesn't but why are rules there if not to be broken?)

 

1. Makeup - I only usually bring mascara, lipbalm (essential!) and lipgloss and concealer.
2. Nail Varnish - I bring clear, light pink and white from my french manicure set. You only want to wear paler colours if nail varnish isn't allowed so you don't have to take it off.
3. Hand lotion - Don't you hate it when you're hands are really dry?
4. Small hairbrush with hair bobbles - ESSENTIAL!
5. Hair grips - I only tend to bring a few slides.
6. Tampons/Pads - bring a couple for emergency's we all have those times! You may also want to bring a spare pair of knickers for those accidents!
7. House Key - If you have one, don't lose it! Also your locker key if you want.
8. Spare Change - A few pounds will do for EMERGENCYS ONLY!
9. A Mirror - Your phone has a limit to how well you can see yourself.
10. Mobile Phone - But I usually keep it in my pocket.
11. Nail file - I just got an emery board, polisher, buffer etc. in one from savers.
12. Makeup Wipes - Even if you use makeup remover cream etc. wipes are always useful! (They're pretty good at getting toothpaste off your jumper!)
13. Tissues - This is an obvious one but I don't have any little packets so don't carry these around! :S
14. Gum/Mints - To keep your mouth fresh and nice-smelling after meals!

How To Straighten Wavy Hair Without Heat

(Just FYI I have long hair so this technique might not work if your hair is short)

 

1. Wake up in the morning with a bad hair day.
2. Brush hair into a high ponytail (if you have a fringe you might want to leave it out of the bobble).
3. Leave hair in ponytail all day - or all night might work just as well - and take out either that night or the next morning. Brush through and you're done!

Make sure your hair isn't wet when you put it in a ponytail - it'll dry with kinks in it.
This way you get out of a bad hair day as well as your hair will look good in the ponytail.

New 'How To Survive Your Teenage Years' Section!

I will be putting up a how to page. Including lots of home remedies for spots that I've found all over the place that I'm gonna test out and see if they work. Feel free to comment with any spot remedies you've found and I can try them out. But if they're potentially dangerous or harmful then I'm not testing them.
On other news, Lindsay Lohan's such a good actress and she was really beautiful before all the surgery! Why did she have to go off the rails? She could be so successful right now if she hadn't... I love 'Mean Girls' :D it's like a classic except not, but everyone - or atleast every girl - should watch it! :)

I'm miss autonomy, miss nowhere, I'm at the bottom of me. Miss adrogyny, miss don't care, what I've done to me.

Woke up at ten past eleven this morning :D. Played monopoly 'til about ten last night then watched Date Movie :). It's hilarious! I could tell it was a spoof of 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding', One of the 'Meet The Fockers' movies and some others I don't think I've watched. Actually there might have been a bit of 'My Best Friend's Wedding' in there too.
As you can see my title is song words, Miss Nothing by The Pretty Reckless song lyrics to be precise. The Pretty Reckless are the best band in the universe! Followed closely by Paramore of course :). Listen to their songs they. are. amazing. Especially 'Make Me Wanna Die' and 'Miss Nothing' the lead singer is Taylor Momsen, doesn't she have an amazing voice?!

In yoo face! :D

Last night was succesful, my cooking was delicious :D (I'm so modest I know ;D) The meatballs kinda fell apart a little but were yummy, I cooked spaghetti for the 2nd time in my life and kept eating it to see if it was ready :)Then had roasted peaches+icecream (turns out I don't like peaches) and custard lollies (heaven!) for dessert :D. But since then my hands have stunk of onion and garlic, even though I've washed them like a hundred times! Until I put water on this metal thing and rubbed that on my hands, it's supposed to absorb the smell or something... And it worked! I am now onion & garlic free :).
Damn I'll have to do so much exercise today :S.
