Hi lovelies,

Don’t worry – today’s post is short and nice and very friendly – unlike my last post. Sorry about that. But, I did promise to be honest and I want to be as open as possible with my recovery efforts so that (hopefully) I can be of so help to others in the same predicament.

Anyway, I attempted a gradient manicure for the first time today and I am soooooooo impressed with the way it turned out. Like seriously, super impressed. They look amazing and I am so in love and they also kind of look like sunsets, which is also really lovely. So, all in all, a very successful manicure. I used Fuchsia, by Urban Colours One Coat (shown in picture), and Social Climber, by Chi Chi.

No tutorial for you today, sorry, but I was kind of doing it as a stress release and a mood booster and I totally did not want to think about photos at that time… But I will definitely do a tutorial at some point as I can definitely see more gradients in my future. :) What do you think? Gradients: yes or no?

Thinspiration

Trigger Warning! This is not a happy post. This is a very long post and may be triggering to those with an eating disorder. If unsure, please do not click the 'read more'. Don't torture yourself if you think it may be triggering. Just back away. Take care of yourself. xx

I have a confession.

Last night, I did something I’m not proud of. Something I knew was wrong. Something that was not going to make me feel better. In fact, it probably made me feel worse. But I did it anyway.

I googled thinspiration and I googled pro-ana. I spent a good hour and a half trawling through tumblrs, blogs and help sties dedicated to becoming thin and how to live with an eating disorder.

Why?

Because I was already feeling like shit and I wanted to torture myself.

How stupid.

Three Ingredient Chocolate

Ciao lovelies!

Today, I have a fabulous recipe for you. It tastes great, it’s super quick, it only has three ingredients and it is easily customised to anybody’s tastes! Have I got you hooked yet? I hope so. If you were someone like me, who thought chocolate making was a long, difficult, complex process, think again! This recipe will have you impressing yourself, your family, your friends and pretty much anyway you give one of these chocolates too.

Back to School and a Green Glitter Manicure

Good morning!

How are you all today? I myself am feeling rather fabulous as I am sporting a brand new manicure, complete with sparkles! :) Unfortunately, my enthusiasm for life is somewhat dampened by the fact that tomorrow, I have to return to school… :( I dread it. School is the bane of my existence. I’m not even exaggerating. The sooner I get out of school, the better my life will be. In my personal opinion, November just can’t come soon enough…

Geometric Nails

Hello my lovelies!

I have another manicure for you (anyone sensing a pattern here? I think I’ve found a new obsession!). This one is very cool, if I do say so myself, (although definitely not as good as my Galaxy Nails – which I’m going to have to take off today, unfortunately (so much chipping)) :(.
