Can't decide? You don't have to!

In fashion, there are a lot of options to choose from, and it's hard to know which option to pick and buy. 

My Momma came up with the solution! 

She went to the supermarket yesterday to get milk, but she couldn't decide which one to pick... so she bought all the colours!

Okay, that's not entirely true... she was buying blue and green so and she thought my sister and I would enjoy some flavoured milk too :)

So if you are feeling unsure, buy several and decide later! (Just make sure the store has a good return policy!)

Review: Best nail polish remover EVER!

Does anyone else find removing nail polish a chore? I used to spend around 45minutes on a Sunday night taking off nail polish for school the next day with regular remover. Today, I discovered how AMAZING this Sally Hansen Kwik Off Nail Polish Remover is!

I don't mean to sound like a commercial but it is seriously super easy to use, and it works in only a few seconds. Oh, and guess what? It doesn't have a horrible headache-y smell! Yay! I love it! You just put your finger into the sponge, and twirl it round a couple of times and, voila! Your nail polish is removed :D


A very good buy :)

History lesson: The Bobby Pin

Everyone knows what a bobby pin is, right? Some may know it as a Kirby grip, but we all know about them. 

SOOO many uses for them, such as missing zip tags, sewing pins and you can even use them as hair clips! Who knew?! Not to mention the time I used a bobby pin to single-handedly pick a lock to open a dungeon door, use it to knock out the guard by pressure point and free the koalas from the Sahara Desert. (Or was that a dream...?)

Anyhow... I think we would all agree that Bobby Pins are lifesavers.

(Please note: I do not own this image!)

Unfortunately, they are in no way related to Bobbi Brown, the famous make-up artist. Sigh... that would have been a great story, even better than the Koala-rescuing one. 

Here are some great Bobby-pin hair tutorials for you to try:

DIY Project: Chain bracelet!

Looking for something to do on a rainy day? Out of money but just have to have the latest fashion trends?

For just a few dollars you can make this super chic chain bracelet! (actually, it could also be a necklace, belt, purse handles, anything!)

To make this cute wrap-around bracelet, you will need:

About a half metre of medium sized chain - (one you can feed ribbon in and out of, if you can't find a good one at your local hardware or craft store, a new dog chain would work perfectly)

About metre of ribbon (more or less depending on how many times you want the bracelet to wrap around your wrist)

Some pliers or wire cutters.

Step 1. Cut the chain to the length you want it. I did mine about a half metre long. 

Step 2. Thread the ribbon through the first chain link, leaving a 15cm tail.

Step 3. Secure it onto the first chain link with a regular knot.

Step 4. Weave the ribbon in and out of the chain until you reach the end.

Like this:

Step 5. Tie another knot in the ribbon, around the end of last chain link.

Step 6. Leave a tail of ribbon 15cm at this end of the chain too.

Step 7. Wrap around your wrist 2-3 times and get a friend to help you secure it onto your wrist with a cute bow. 

Step 8. Show off your creation to everyone you know! 

So this is a great way to make some cute jewelry for a gift, or just something fun to do when you are bored, and it will only cost a couple of dollars to make. Then, with any left over chain and ribbon, you can make necklaces, belts, etc.

Good luck and have fun!
