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.

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!
