However, when we are confronted with issues that are out of our control, the best way to react and deal with this is to stare it in the face and acknowledge it.  Having to stay at home can be turned into a positive. Most people are usually too busy with their everyday life and work, to do everything they’ve always wanted to do. The opportunities that come with more free time, is the time to tackle our to-do lists!

A Guide to a Home Manicure

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]F[/eltd_dropcaps]or many women, not having their nails done is something out of the question. They either have to go to the nail salon to get their nails done professionally or paint their nails by themselves, one way or another they have to be done! However, you can achieve the same look from the comfort of your own home.

You don’t necessarily have to go to a nail technician in order to have gel nails. Most people might think that applying your classic/traditional nail polishes will have the same effect, but once you start to do your manicure at home with a kit, you will never return to your normal nail varnishes.

Making and Maintaining Friendships in Adulthood

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]F[/eltd_dropcaps]rom Paris and Nicole to Gigi and Kendall, in celebration of International Friendship Day, here’s an ode to the women who have helped make us (but sometimes can break us). 

It’s no secret that maintaining friendships into adulthood can be hard. Without the shared experience of five-days-a-week at school or hungover mornings festering at uni, it can be difficult to maintain the closeness that was once the defining feature of our strongest friendships.  

Whilst school friends can provide an incredible grounding and sense of comfort – who else can remind you of all the embarrassing things you did when you were 14 – it can be tricky to keep in close contact when you no longer all live in walking distance of one another. Removing the pressure to stay as close as you once were is important. As life ebbs and flows, it is unrealistic to expect yourself to remain as present as you were when you were physically together all the time.

Today’s post will touch on reorganising but in a more practical way, which is going to benefit you in the long term as opposed to just wavering some minutes by. Hopefully, this will further encourage you to keep-up such habits once this time has surpassed. 

Beautiful Soles: An Unlikely Lockdown Makeover

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]I[/eltd_dropcaps]f there’s one aspect of my life (literally, just the one) that’s thriving right now, it’s my beauty routine. Gone are the days when my skincare ritual boiled down to a quick scrub with a makeup wipe and a layer of moisturiser. I’ve lost count of the number of masks my face has seen in the past few weeks; my hair is so deeply conditioned I’m convinced I could star in a Herbal Essences ad and I’ve even embarked on an IPL laser hair removal journey. Despite all of this, my biggest lockdown glow-up has been my feet. Yes, feet.
