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!

Barbie, It's over ~ Ken breaks it up.

I just recieved an email from Greenpeace, about Barbie and Ken. No joke. This is what it said:


Last Wednesday, in a high profile break up, Ken dumped Barbie after we exposed her sinister side. Greenpeace investigations led to the shocking revelation that Barbie – the world’s most popular doll – is wrapped in scandal.Her packaging comes from rainforest destruction and endangered species habitat loss in Indonesia. Since releasing the revealing video, Ken declared that he "doesn't date girls who are into deforestation" and the world has got behind him. 

Help save the rainforests and watch the breakup interview, click Here! (really, its worth watching!)


I actually adopted (sponsored) an Orangutan, (his name is Carlos!) and now I find out it's Barbie who is destroying his habitat? Uh-uh! Oh-no-you-didn't girlfriend... oh wait, your not a girlfriend anymore, huh? (mmm-hmmm!)


We have got to help save the rainforests, so please, sign up to Greenpeace and save the world. We got your back Ken! (and your abs, and your hair...)

(please note: I do not own these images)

For next week's episode, Keeping up with the the Ken-Barbians, follow my blog! Updates and more on the scandle soon!

Things I love-May

Things I'm loving :)

So as May has ended I thought I would make a list of all of my favourite things from the month of may to share with you...

1. Hot Chocolates

Ohmygoodnessilovehotchocolates! I just recently started making myself hot chocolates, and I LOVE them. To come home from school and snuggle up with a hot chocolate, its the perfect way to relax after a long day. 

The only thing is... I'm a bit guilty of having more than just one after school, there's also my one before school, before dinner, after dinner, before bed..... no, I'm joking, but I do have too many!

2. Room tours/closet tours

So if you have seen my last post, you will know exactly what I'm talking about! Check it out :)

3. Black and white clothing. I just love this classic, timeless combination on everything. Especially Zebras. I love Zebras. Click here for a link to Project Runway info :)

4. Ugly Betty

Technically it wasn't May, but I had to add this in because I have become an Ugly Betty fanatic recently!

I just love the fashion and the gripping storyline!

5. Kim Kardashian's Fit in your jeans by Friday workout series

Okay so I know what you are thinking... Kim Kardashian, really?

I have only done this workout a couple of times, but i purchased it on my itouch for $2.59 and I'm finding it really fun which is important to me because I am not a very motivated person when it comes to exercise! 

I only dread to think what Kim would say about all the hot chocolates...

6. Long Weekends! We have had two in the last month and it is so lovely waking up on Monday morning and not having to get up out of bed! <3 The reason we're having one this weekend is because it is the Queens Birthday weekend. 

Sadly, I wasn't invited to her party, which I was actually quite hurt by because I invited her to mine. I'm still waiting for the invitation. Must have got lost in the post. 




7. Scrunchies. 
They are a fun accessory and they only take about 10 minutes to make. They are super cute, super easy so you can make them for all of your friends :) 
Expect a blog post on them soon!
