Halloween ideas

I'm really gutted I'm not rich enough to go all out and do some really awesome costume. I think I'm going with a leopard this year but I have been looking all over pinterest for some idea's and found quite a few different inspirational costumes I wish I could do!! May have to find an excuse to dress up - especially like Iggy Azalea's Cruella! 








what are you guys dressing as?

Beauty: IPL hair removal

I'm sure I'm not the only one who hates shaving, I have epilated my legs but, my god is it painful. A friend of mine said she did IPL ( laser hair removal) and for over a year now I have been debating it. In March I decided to bite the bullet and try it out for myself after getting a Groupon deal at Bellisimo in Manchester.
I opted for my armpits and a brazilian ( just a little bit more than a bikini) and bought 6 sessions. It wasn't that painful, some zaps were a little bit but overall it's completely tolerable and it only took 10-15 minutes to do both areas, you can also ask them to lower the settings so it doesn't hurt as much. After a couple of sessions I did start to notice the hair was growing back slower and shorter and now it's really patchy. I will need a couple more sessions but I'm really chuffed with the results; so far I can tell that some hairs aren't coming back. DREAM. 
I really recommend trying this, it works best on darker hairs so sadly I can't do this on my chin which annoys me to no end! It can be a little expensive so try and find yourself a deal before hand to help with the costs! 
Ciao!

whitening your teeth naturally


cocowhite natural teeth whitening mint flavour
Whitening my teeth is something I have wanted to do for such a long time as years of fizzy drinks has definitely taken its toll. I just wasn't sure how to go about it, I had seen heaps of home kits and heard about people to go and see but I just wasn't sold. 
I came across cocowhite on instagram and bought the packet the next day, natural whitening? Yes please! I was worried about the horror stories of making your teeth incredibly sensitive and all the chemicals that could potentially be making them worse off and eroding the natural enamel. Cocowhite uses a technique called oil pulling, you pretty much just swish it around your mouth for 5-15 minutes and it helps bring out all the bad plaque.
At £20 for a two week pack I thought it was pretty bargainous as I had seen other packs for around £60. It also has 3 flavours a vanilla, mint and also a lemony one, I got the mint as I thought it would be a little bit weird to use vanilla right before brushing my teeth and I'm not a lemony fan. 
As this is coconut oil this does solidify quite easily so you can either accept that or try to heat it up in your hands. I was worried about shoving this in and gagging a little as you can't swallow so I kinda just shove it to the side and slosh it around until it's all dissolved. I try to do this for 10-12 minutes and then brush my teeth and use a mouthwash after. It actually tastes really nice and it's super easy to use. I haven't regularily used it so maybe I would have had more of a difference in shade if I had but I have noticed my teeth have gone whiter and the colour is more even so I do think I will be picking this up again and trying to use it every couple of months to keep on top of my teeth whitening.

Book: Berlin Street Style

I remember buying this book last year before I went home to make a perfect beach read. I had been lusting after ' Paris street style' for some time and well....I saw the leopard print next to it and picked up this one instead. ( initially I put it back trying to be good but got mild palpitations in the costa inside that someone else was going to take it and bought it!......mild shopping problem?.... me?) 
Anyway it was worth it! This book is packed full of tips and tricks; how to style yourself for the day( those daily essentials...) for certain events and even tips on styling your home. It even has tips on how to dress for your yoga class! It's got beauty tips and tips for where to shop, eat, stay and drink if you ever venture to Berlin. The book has got some great photography and illustrations and Angelika has a great writing style - she makes it really feel like she is talking to you!
Have you ever read this book? What do you think of it? 
Ciao x
