FESTIVAL BEAUTY : WHAT DO YOU TAKE TO A FESTIVAL?

 ENEGRY DRINKS* // SCRUNCHIES & BOBBLES // FAKE TAN* // LIP CARE // TEXTURISING SPRAY* // SUNGLASSES // FACE SUNCREAM* // FLORAL CROWN // FALSE NAILS* // EYELASHES* // HYGINE WIPES // FACE WIPES





 I've quickly put together this post, it's a selection of products I would take along to a festival. When you go to a festival you want products that will enable you to look your best but not take up alot of room. I went to Vfestival a few years ago and I had to travel to essex on the train so the last thing I wanted was loads and loads of massive products to haul around.

Floral browns and scrunchies are great ways of hiding those bits of grease, you can pop your hair up and style it out!

The texturising spray is another great way to style your hair when its not looking so great. This will add texture to your hair and give you a more beach wave effect.

Bring your fake tan along, if its raining or something gets thrown over the crowd (water, beer , pee) Your going to want to reapply your tan.

Energy drinks will keep you going however limit how many you drink as they are not very good for you.

Some spf for your skin, you may want to bring a bigger sunscreen if you know its going to be very hot however its a good idea to have a small handy size that you can pop in your bag as the weather could change very quickly so you may think you won't need it and you might. Also being outside for such a long period of time could cause you to burn without realising.



OUTFIT POST : LITTLE MISTRESS GIRLS ON FILM KIMONO


Kimono- Little Mistress* // Vest: Primark // Jeans: New Look // Sandals: Primark // Necklace: Primark // Floral Crown - DIY // Bag : F&F*








I won this lovely kimono in a twitter competition. Its such a lovely light silky material. Its very comfy and i've worn it loads since it arrived.

I think this is quite a festival style outfit. I would wear denim shorts instead of jeans if I was going to a festival. I'm going to be bring my kimono on holiday I think it will make a nice cover up during the day by the pool just over a bikini.

I'm going to be working pretty much full time between now and my holiday, I will still have lots of time to blog. I'm finishing uni tomorrow which is going to be nice :) Were having a farewell party and we will be getting some awards.


REVIEW: OZERI 4X MOTION DIGITAL PEDOMETER




Bit of a different review today. I have started eating abit healthier and I have been calorie counting. I do alot of walking and have wanted a pedometer for a while so I jumped at the chance to review this Ozeri digital pedometer.

I have tried apps that count your steps and calories burned however i've found them to be very inaccurate because it adds steps when your not actually moving but when your using your phone.

This pedometer is a much more accurate figure and it records steps, distance, speed and calories.
It has a 7 day memory, it has a calender and clock built in.

I've been using it to keep tabs on my walking and then using this data alongside my healthy eating to work out what calories i'm burning. I want to bring this on holiday aswell as I find I walk loads more on holiday and this is such a lovelty small light device that is easy to carry around.

I would recommend this as its such a handy little size and is so accurate, you can buy it online from amazon for only £15.95.

REVIEW : FIRMOO SUNGLASSES







I've been browsing the Firmoo site for a while, they do lots of work with bloggers so it's one of those companies I heard alot about. They have a huge range of prescription glasses and sunglasses in different styles, colours and prices.

I picked this tortoise coloured pair of sunglasses. I'm off on holiday in a few weeks so these are perfect. They are a really nice current shape and colour and are very fashionable. They are very sturdy and good quality.

I'm very happy with these glasses and I would order from Firmoo again, at £39 they are abit steap for sunglasses but you are paying for the quality and if you require prescription sunglasses they are actually a great value for money.
 


FESTIVAL PICKS FROM GEORGE AT ASDA



How to Do Festivals, in Fancy Dress Style
As summer fast approaches, many people will have their eye on a cheeky festival or two. Whether it’s a family-friendly outing, or a full-scale weekend in the mud at Glastonbury, there’s no shortage of festival options, no matter where you are in the country. While the line-ups are often at the forefront of festival-goers minds in the run up to their chosen weekend, others will have thoughts about what they’re going to wear to stand out from the crowd.
The clothing that you should pack for a festival depends largely on what you’ll be doing once you’re there. The UK weather is infamously turbulent, leaving many festivals in knee-deep mud within a day or two, so a pair of wellies is essential. Apart from that, anything goes! Fancy dress is a popular choice with festival-goers – it’s fun and comfortable, and will well and truly get you into the festival mood!
If you want to stand out from the crowd, fancy dress is the way forward. And, if you’re on a tight budget (and would prefer to keep as much money aside to spend once you’re on the festival site), you can buy some fab outfits from George at ASDA that won’t break the bank.   
While some festivals offer up a fancy dress theme to follow, others will leave you to your own devices, trusting that your imagination will provide an outfit suitably silly and perfect for some candid camera moments as you wander around the festival site. Take the Isle of Wight Festival, for example. Last year, they gave attendees the chance to dress up in “funny fancy dress”, while Glastonbury updated ticketholders with Flash Mob fancy dress themes during the weeks prior to the big weekend. This year, festivals throughout the summer will undoubtedly provide ideas for you to follow when it comes to planning your costumes, and if not, the fancy dress world is your oyster.
Opt for an outfit that will not only stand out and be comfortable, but one that will be able to stand the tests of a muddy field in the middle of nowhere. While sky-high heels would normally be the way to go when it comes to packing a punch with an outfit, they may be a bit of a fashion faux-pas at an outdoor festival – you’d likely look good, but it’s not the most practical footwear in the circumstances, and you don’t want to break any bones! Why not try the new season’s jelly shoes instead for footwear that’s fashion-forward, comfortable and wipes clean!
The English weather often leaves a lot to be desired, so make sure that whatever outfit you do choose to wear will stand the tests of the downpours. Face paints are a handy thing to pack in case the sun shines, but if you’re facing a soggy day, perhaps they should be kept in your backpack through fear of them streaming down your face.
Whether you have a unique and innovative costume theme to work off, or you have to magic something up yourself, fancy dress is an awesome way of making the festival experience even more amazing. Enjoy yourself this summer, and have fun in festival fancy dress!

FOOD REVIEW: SOUTHERN COMFORT SUMMER COCKTAILS



Southern Comfort * // Pure Orange Juice // Lemonade // Clementine or orange 





With it being lovely and sunny today I wish I could of spent all day in the garden with a drink in my hand however I spent it at work boo! So when I got home I thought I would treat myself to a cocktail and decided to have a little browse on the southern comfort website to find some great recipes. You can check it out here and even add your own http://www.southerncomfort.com/drink-yourself-uk

I love a nice light fruity cocktail so decided to keep it simple. I poured the Southern Comfort over ice first, a fairly decent measure... followed by orange juice which I filled up to the half way mark and then filled the glass with lemonade. I finished with some clementine garnish as thats all I had in however you could use orange or lemon for a more citrus taste.

This cocktail is a really lovely fresh summery drink. It's sweet and light which is what I like in a cocktail, you can play around and use different ingredients maybe you would prefer it still so you wouldn't use the lemonade or you could use pinapple or mango juice if you prefer. There's so many different cocktails you can create using Southern Comfort which is why the website is great! You can easily find loads and loads of different recipes and they are really easy to follow and give you some great tips !


If you do make your own cocktails use the #whateverscomfortable hashtag on twitter !
