Wardrobe Update !

<3 So my sister came home form her shopping trip today with this amazing buy! I just wanted to do a quick post on them because i just think they are so gorgeous!! I would describe them as having an Aztec pattern, really colourful  and intricate.
<3 They are from New Look for £14.99. I saw some shorts there similar to these ones the other month but they didnt have my size, i definatley like these ones better though!!

<3 I love having a sister because it means we can have a combined wardrobe and share all our clothes (mostly) However this is the main cause for argument in our household and blazing rows about who is allowed to wear what are a frequent occurrence. But its worth it to have double the amount of clothes. I realize that even if you do have a sister around the same age as you, your not necessarily the same sizes. Even though my sister is about 3 inches taller than me and i am 2 years older we still fit the same clothes. Unluckily for us the only thing we can't share are shoes as she is a size 7 and i am a tiny 4 and a 1/2 ! So that is why im sad that we cant also share these super cute primark sandals that she also brought home ..

Naturally Lighten Your Hair

<3 This was a great suggestion from my friend Shannon who has already done a post on her blog http://glamerdoll.blogspot.com/ and she got the idea from the youtube channel, Adrea'sChoice.

<3 I think this is a great solution for anyone who doesnt like the idea of using harsh chemicals or dye on their hair to lighten it. I was going to use sun-in on my hair but heard form my friends that it is really damaging and drying on your hair. 

<3 I am LOVING the ombre look for the summer!! So when i did this i only put it on the bottom half of my hair, it is so easy to do and uses opnly natural ingredients (plus conditioner).

<3 What you will need: - Conditioner  - Honey (raw or solid is best) 

                                    - Lemon (optional)  - Jar

<3 OK so like i said, it is so easy to do! First put one part conditioner and two parts honey into the jar and mix. I also added lemon as it is a natural lightener, but some of you may feel that this will dry out your hair. I didn't find this however! If you are going to add the lemon, just cut one in half and squeeze the juice in with the honey and conditioner, it will smell AMAZING !! Try and mix it well so that there are no lumps of honey left.

<3 Leave that to sit for around 10-15 minutes, then just smooth it all over your hair. If you do want the ombre  effect, only put it on the bottom half of your hair. Once you have covered your head, place your hair in a normal plastic bag that you can get from the supermarket and wrap it up. Then wrap it in a towel like you would normally do after washing your hair. This is to lock in the heat and improve the lightening effect. Leave it for 40 minutes and find something to do!

<3 After 40 minutes, take your hair down and wash as normal, make sure to get all the honey mixture out! After 4-5 times of doing this you should start to see a difference. I have only been able to do it once so far, as i've been so busy but even after the first time i did see a tiny difference. I have lightish brown hair that is slightly golden ginger in the sun - its a weird combination i know!

<3 If you try this, please comment and tell me if it works for you! I'll keep you updated if i ever get round to doing this again, aha. It is a must for those of you who want lighter hair for the summer but don't want to damage it. Its also a really relaxing activity and the honey and lemon smells so good! You must try it, enjoy!

<3 So today i just felt like a bit of a ramble, and it is waaaaay to hot to be doing anything productive so i shall catch you up on me, my life and my universe.

<3 The weather for the past two days has made it feel like a foreign country! I surprised myself yesterday by ending up walking around in a bikini. 

Being the pale english rose i am and knowing that for however long i lie in the sun i will only gain freckles, i decided to apply fake tan on my legs. I have found the best solution to a quick and easy tan - Fake Tan WIPES !! they are dead easy to use and really quick. You just wipe it all over the chosen body part and over the next few hours you build up a nice tan. Orange feet are however a side effect if you don't apply carefully. I have been trying to hide mine today.  If you saw me you wouldn't think i had any on (because my leg still look very pale), but it has actually made a huge difference, i have the tan line on my bum to prove it ;) but you can wipe it on to your hearts content! I purchased these from savers for £1.00 ! and there's 20 in a pack - BARGAIN !! im going back to stock up.

<3 so today i had my maths exam. I'm in year 10 and around the end of the school year we have mock exams, vair vair annoying but the study leave is great. I know i completely failed because i always have been and always will be crap at maths. but its a mock so Ho Hum Pigs Bum ;) I should be studying for my actual GCSE science exams that i have tomorrow, but the weather is just so uncomfortable. I think a good investment would be a fan. There is no sun out at all but it is just SO HOT! i think humid is the word. Ahh well it is all good practice for my summer in America (SUPER DUPER BLOODY CRAZILY EXCITED)

Although the worrying thing is that all this humidity is making my georgeous (not) hair resemble what can only be described as the overgrown bush in my front garden :/ this is not on. Any suggestions for un-tamable curly hair ?? 

<3 This friday i have been invited to a friends birthday. It a meal out with all the girls but with a twist .....

The theme is: The Only Way Is Essex. It should be a laugh, i'll put up some photos later this weekend.

<3 Right i have bored you enough now ! Cheerio lovelies,,

Lily, xx

My name is ...

<3 so first of all, i should introduce myself, my name is Harriet. 

I like my name but if any of you have seen my joint youtube channel or twitter then you know that i much prefer my middle name - Lily, i carry it with me wherever i go on a necklace.

<3 things i don't like about myself would be ...

my nose because it has a massive bump on the bridge

my height. My 13 year old sister towers above me, just about 3 more inches would be nice (Y) its not that im tiny but i still feel like a child when i stand next to adults.

 my hair just about never looks right, as you can tell from the pictures above !

I have massive dark under-eye circle that i hate hate hate !!!

<3 things i do like are ....

the colour of my hair, it can go quite golden in the sun, although i am a fan of ombre hair and nearer the summer im going to give that a go !

I have never had a problem with my weight and put it down to a fast metabolism

my teeth, thanks to the miracle of  modern dentistry

<3 i am in year 10 at school and my favorite lesson has to be my amazing commercial art class, its the best part of my week !

<3 shopping Shopping SHOPPING,, my fave thing to do !!

<3 peanut butter is amazing, rain is depressing, autumn is beautiful, the future is a mystery, the Darwin Deez have stolen my heart, sun is uplifting, marshmallows are genius and i am enjoying every bit of it. 

<3 and now im really getting into blogging. So i will try to catch you up regularly on my not so thrilling life as often as i can and all that is left to say is ta-rah for now and enjoy,

London and Half Term Haul

Heyy !

So about a week before half term i went up to London with my dad and sister.

I absolutely love London and it is my favorite place to shop !!

So, the first thing i brought was a pair of camel colored jeans 

from a shop i have never actually heard of before called Pull and Bears in the Westfield Shopping Centre

 They were £20 and i love them, wear them all the time !!

The second thing i brought from London was 2 Jesus Bracelets 

They are from Camden Market

 Camden Market always has amazing things and I go every time i'm in London,

These were 42p each !! from a stall.

I wanted one of these for ages ! They basically have lots of really beautiful religious pictures on each block  

The last thing i brought from London was also from a stall in Candem, 

Its a really cute baseball shirt 

And this was £12 pounds,

I wear it all the time just around the house and it goes so well with the camel jeans too !

That is everything i got from London, it wasn't the biggest shopping trip, the rest is the half term haul.

Lee Stafford: For hair that only grows past a certain length

 MIRACLE  CREAM !!

I will do a review on this after i have been using it for a bit longer !

For ages i have been trying to grow my hair long and my friend recommended this to me. 

It was £7.99 from Boots, so really cheap and you get a lot in the pot. 

It repairs any split ends and makes your hair feel really soft

So it puts it in the best condition for growth.

This is probably my best buy and i use it every time i wash my hair

<3 IT !!!

Next I brought a rucksack from Next,

Its really cute and I've wanted one for ages. It was £28, which is expensive but i had vouchers so its OK !!

Getting ready for summer now !!

2 Bikinis from the amazing Primark and H&M;

This is the Primark one, it was £8 

Not the best picture !!

I love the colour and pattern, cant wait to wear it !

Second one is from H&M;

Defiantly my fave one !!

It was expensive at £7.99 for the top and bottom each but worth it.

From Zara i got some short that i have wanted for sooo long !!

Light blue denim with faded effect and subtle ripped detailing.

They were about £19.

From Topshop (<3) i got a crop top

 Topshop is my favourite place for summer clothes

This was £18.

The last thing i brought was volumising Tresseme Moose from Boots.

It was around £5/6 

It works really well and smells great !!

So thats it for my Half-Term Haul !!

Hope you enjoyed 

LOVE YA <33
