Get Cape, Wear Cape.

Capes are everywhere on the high street just now & I've got my eye on this red duffel number from Topshop! It's going on the Christmas lust- list & I think it will look so cute with long gloves & shearling boots for winter. I'm going to Edinburgh on boxing day with my boyfriend & his parents & think this will be just the thing for the occasion!

Body Brushing: My Experience

A few months ago I noticed the appearance of cellulite on the back of my legs. As you can imagine I wasn’t best pleased at this so went about researching the best way to get rid of it! It seemed lotions & potions were deemed useless however the one thing that kept coming up was body brushing. I purchased a long handled brush from Superdrug for about £3.99 & got to work!

The Science

Body brushing (also known as dry brushing) works by stimulating the lymphatic system to increase blood flow which improves the look and texture of the skin.

The Technique

Basically the way I do it is by starting at my feet I just brush upwards in firm strokes, doing my legs, then arms, then body. I read that you should always do it the direction of your heart so this is what I do, although I have read of people doing it in circular motions! I do it before I go for a shower or a bath, a word of caution – don’t do it after if you forget to do it before, it hurts!

The Results

I have to admit I was sceptical at first, and when your not used to doing it it feels kinda strange, but I have had reasonably good results. It’s not a miracle cure for cellulite and doesn’t claim to be but it has defiantly improved the look of my skin. I’m not sure if it has made much difference to my cellulite but I can say my legs on the whole are looking much better! The skin looks much smoother & healthier than before so overall I am pleased with the results.

The ultimate in comfort, warmth and errr style

Red Glitter - 150, Review

The latest addition to my ever-expanding Barry M nail paint collection was number 150 - Red Glitter. This is the first glitter nail polish I've owned in years & I love it! It's not one I would normally have picked up but I saw it on a friend & had to have it!

I only applied one coat as I applied it over a red polish (another Barry M!) as I didn't want it too be too thick but I imagine it would take quite a few coats to get a good colour on it's own.

So far I've only been wearing it on my toes, not sure I fancy it much for my fingers but we'll see!, & it's made me feel very festive! :) I have heard it deadly to remove, typical glitter!
