last minute bikini body!

Hi guys I always like to think that I'm prepare for any holiday but usually what I  tend to do  is go on a diet months before my holiday and normally get to that fed up stage a month before I have to go on holiday and start plying back on the pounds at the exact wrong time!
Luckily 3 steps and a quick exercise  can sort things out

STEP 1 Ditch the salt the more salt you eat, the more water your body holds on to, making your tum look bloated.


 All you need to do is drink more water to flush out the sodium and cut down on the salt intake.

STEP 2 Ditch the caffeine its thought that it make you more hungry and stops nutrients getting to cells which could lead to the dreaded cellulite
 

STEP 3 Exercise no pain no gain in the last few weeks as my guilt from missing the gym I have done the Jillian Micheal's 30 Day shred which in my opinion is like three days worth of work outs in one!


hope you guys enjoyed that

Tip Thursday

Hi Guys today is Tip Thursday and today I want to give you a really simple tip well for me anyway and something I do every time I blow dry my hair.
     
I always us a narrow nozzle on my hair dryer and always direct the heat down my hair this help my hair stay straight and without frizz!
Another tip is always make sure  all your hair is dry before leaving the house this is very important because if it is even a bit damp, moisture in the air will make it frizz up in no time >:(
I try to always finish with a serum lately I use L'oreal Extraordinary Oil

Hope you guys enjoyed that

Beauty Haul! :)

Hi Guys oops! I did it again nope not a bad Britney Spears Impression but a make up haul!!

The first thing I got was the real techniques stippling brush I was so happy when I seen this I have heard so much about them from numerous "beauty gurus" so I cant wait to start using it. I got it in boots for around €12.95

While I was in boots I also picked up two lipsticks from Collection 2000 in the colour Ruby Red they had a offer 2 for €7.50  on any Item that cost  €4.59 and I have wanted a red lipstick for the longest time so I picked this up




The last thing I picked in boots was a little Benefit sample pack called Tan about town which included Some Kind of Gorgeous, Hoola and Bad Gal Lash
I have always wanted to try out Benefit product but I want to make sure I would really like it first before I buy them because their product are very expensive in Ireland so this mini sample pack is great was to test things out. It cost €12.50

Then because I have an obsession  with make up I had to make a trip into Super drug where I picked up some MUA products love them they are so affordable I got a lipstick, lip gloss and an eyeshadow they only cost €1.35 each the shadow is amazing it a blue/purple it has amazing pigment.
The lipstick also has great pigment unfortunately the lip gloss isn't the best for such a great colour it blends out ever sheer but on a good note its not sticky at all.

The last thing I grabbed in Super drug was the collection 2000 concealer in 2 light  I wanted this for ages and it was only €5, It is cheaper than any where else I seen so I picked it up



Lastly in TK Ma xx I picked  up 4 nail polishes  three Essie nail polishes and one Sally Hansen

the names of two of the Essie's weren't on them when I got them so I'm not too sure the names the pink Essie polish is called tea and crumpets
the Sally Hansen polish is a base coat I didn't have a base coat in my collection and figured with the new red polish that I got it would be handy to stop the colour from staining

That's all folks!
Hope you Guys enjoyed that

Top Ten Flat-Tummy Foods

Hi Guys over the year from dieting I have learned a lot from exercise to the right foods to eat and I want to share it with all my lovely followers the following foods will keep you feeling fuller for longer, stop cravings and wont bloat you
1) Oats    these are slow release energy food that's easy to digest and packed with soluble fibre.


2) Berries  This is a low - GI, low-calorie, nutrient-packed easy snack for the sweet - toothed


3) Cucumber  This is a diuretic that helps flush out water retention


4 ) Natural Yogurt  Help for weight loss promoting calcium, filling protein and lots of gut-friendly probiotics to banish bloating


5) Quinoa  These are a great alternative to potatoes, rice and pasta and are rich with essential amino acids.


6) Melon  this is great for the skin very hydrating and the potassium in it is great to reduce bloating


7) Oily Fish  I know the thought of oily fish may turn a few stomachs but its great for your omega-3 essential fatty acids which are linked to fat burning .


8) Dark-Green Leafy Veg   I was always thought that that green is good and the more colourful the more sugar so I always try to pack a sandwich  or salads with spinach leafs


9) Monounsaturated Fatty Acids   Theses can be found in Nuts,Olives, Avocados etc theses are very filling and are suppose to brake down tummy fat


10 Pineapple  Pineapple are great  to ease with digestion and tastes yummy too

hope that was helpful

star buy sunday!

Hi Guys today when I was looking around Heatons I found this foundation its the Revlon age defying Spa it was only €5 amazing value.
I purchased it to try it out and I really like it so far I got it in the colour 003 light pale there were other colours but they looked more orange based colours.
It also has an SPF of 18 which I always like to have in my Foundation/BB Creams it has a built in brush which I thought was very handy especially for you to use if travelling etc.
On the bad side It doesn't have the greatest scent it kinda remind me of rich tea biscuits and when you squeeze the foundation out a lot comes out more than you would properly need with that said even with the bad points I really like the finish of it very natural I would say it is a light foundation but it could be built up to a medium coverage.


Revlon has discontinued this now so you wont be able to find it in your local drugstore or Revlon distributor however I found a link for it on eBay if your interested Click Here
