Face Masking It ❤️

Hello lovelies,
I have a little beauty post for you guys today! I am a major fan of face masks as you probably already know. They are the perfect treat for your skin every week. They are quick and easy to apply and the benefits are plentiful. Personally, I love the face masks that you can buy in the drugstore or chemist as they are cheap and cheerful. There is no fuss and you are left with more or less the same results as the more expensive brands.

Following this week, I felt that my skin looked a bit dull and tired - along with some typical teenage-skin breakouts. So what other way to sort that out than to whip out a face mask and treat my face to some TLC. 

Firstly, I cleansed my skin with my usual cleanser and a damp cotton pad. Then I began to apply the face mask - this took me about 2-3 minutes. Then I just sat back and relaxed for 15 minutes and let the mask work its magic on my exhausted skin. After about 15 minutes I rinsed the mask off with some lukewarm water and patted my face dry with a dry face-cloth.

My face looks so much brighter and feels so much fresher and comfortable! My breakout has even become less aggressive due to the aloe vera in the mask. 

What's your favourite face masks to use? Let me know! 

If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask.

Until next time lovelies :)

Benefits of drinking Green Tea ❤️

Good evening peoples!

I'm baaack!! So, the last few weeks have been pretty hectic! I am currently suffocating under a ton of school books, refill-pads and notes, TRYING to study for my Leaving Cert Mocks (which are not exactly going too well). Due to all of these late night and early morning cramming sessions I have been surviving on some seriously strong coffee! However, the sky-high caffeine intake is causing some major insomnia. Therefore, I have switched the coffee for a healthier option - Green Tea! 


Green Tea is recognized for its refreshing taste and association to several health benefits! Here are a list of 5 benefits that I wanted to share with you:

1. Hydration - Green Tea is brilliant for hydrating the body. One cup of tea can be a replacement for one of your 8 glasses of water daily. 
2. Stress Reduction - 5 or 6 cups of decaffeinated green tea daily can reduce stress and produce a calming effect due to the presence of Theanine.
3. Wrinkle Prevention - The antioxidants present in Green Tea reduce the likelihood of getting wrinkles (BONUS)
4. Aids Weight Loss - Green Tea, in conjunction with a balanced diet can aid weight loss and help you maintain a healthy weight
5. Immunity Boost - Drinking green tea regularly can help boost your immune system, making you less prone to bacterial and viral infections (due to the presence of catetchins)
6. Rids Body of Excess Fluids - Drinking green tea regularly produces a diuretic effect (promotion of the production of urine) which rids unwanted excess fluids from the body, which in turn provides a slimming effect (WIN WIN). Furthermore, you will look and feel a whole lot better as you are not carrying around that extra fluid. 

My Favourites: 

• Twinings Pure Green Tea (Tesco)
• Knightsbridge Green Tea with Lemon (Lidl)
• Bootea Teatox (Bootea.com)

Tip: Instead of using a new teabag for every cuppa, try using the same teabag twice or even three times by just refilling your cup with boiling water. I try to drink 4 -6 cups of Green Tea daily to maximize the benefits listed above (It could also just be because I'm Irish!)

                                        Hope this inspires you to have a cuppa! ;)

Trend: Capes ❤️

Good evening peoples,
So lets talk Capes. They are quickly becoming an extremely popular fashion statement. They can be both causal and glamorous, but most importantly, they are extra cosy and comfortable! 
I have always had a soft spot for capes as they are so easy 
to wear. You can pop on a cape over a pair of jeans and camisole top or a simple dress and look a million dollars. I have searched out some of my favorite capes, from my favorite shops. Have a look at my picks below:

Forever 21 - €40.50

Topshop - €38.00

Topshop - €38.00

ASOS - €35.72

Topshop - €36.00

Topshop - €38.00

River Island - €45.00

River Island - €40.00

River Island - €45.00

Personally I would wear ANY of these capes with a pair of black skinny jeans, a long-sleeved black top, boots, a handbag, possibly a belt, and some simple jewelry!

What about you? Let me know!

See ye laters :)
