you all know this, but i thought i'd reiterate any way. good food = good skin its so true, so so so true. its not someone feeding you a lie to make you eat healthier. i always notice a huge change in my skin when I am eating healthy and more varied foods. thats a change for the better . but because i eat healthily most of the time, my skin stays in pretty good condition. about a year ago, i switched to soya milk rather than dairy for breakfast, after reading an excellent book called Healthy at 100 written by John Robbins (of Baskin Robbins). there was so many interesting facts in this book, i couldn't put it down...seriously life changing. i've always eaten healthy because i have to as i am diabetic. but, there are some interesting things that i have picked up along the way. check out my food blog, not just apples for more about what i eat on a day to day basis. my diet follows these rules (mostly, but i am not strict strict strict, i will 95% of the time follow these rule...

I went round to a friend's house last night, and we played with our old makeup and some crimpers which are relics of the 80s from her auntie! I was the green glitter, crimped hair beauty! It looked kinda rock chick. Do any of you remember crimpers? So much fun :)

I have been thinking about getting some clip in extensions for a while now, just to make a change to what my hair always looks like! But, there are so many different brands its difficult to decide which to have. I have narrowed it down to two different brands...both made of human hair, with clips attached. The 1st is American Dream Hair Extensions. I think I'll head to Sally's on Tuesday and see if I can get a good colour match, every other time I've gone to have a look I just get overwhelmed with the millions of different colors! There's a good review/tutorial by lollipop26 on YT. The 2nd is Head Kandy Hair Extensions. They come in a full set, check out the picture below. But, its so difficult to tell what colour hair I would be just by looking at the pictures on the net. There's an excellent review by kissonthechic on Youtube, go check it out if you want more info.

Lash Stiletto my Maybelline is the new mascara that everyone is talking about. And I can see why. It claims to lengthen your lashes, and it does! Pros: - it does actually visibly lengthen your lashes - it isn't clumpy - it separates and defines your lashes - its easy to use - its got an excellent drying time - it looks like a strip of fake lashes when its on Cons: - it smells a little bit weird - the packaging is a bit bulky - i always get annoyed when they spend so much on advertising that i am paying for that advertising when i pay for the product....how much of my almost £8 went into marketing? Check out my new Youtube video for an in depth review of Maybelline's Lash Stiletto Mascara .

Ok, I have a question. As a MAC cosmetics virgin, what is the one product I should buy? What is the one MAC product that you use all the time, that I should definitely have in my makeup bag? It can be anything at all from their collection. Here's some ideas from http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/ : Please leave me a comment, to let me know. The most popular answer wins, and I will go out and get my first MAC product!

This is a little something from my YT channel, I hope you find it helpful. Please feel free to ask me questions :)

Do you sometimes feel like that? I know I do. Frequently. That sort of why did I bother thing? I often get the I should have tried harder thing too. I am obviously still not getting it right, its sometimes tricky to know exactly what I am doing in the day, and my day is often more formal than I was ready for, with far more hot guys that I was prepared for too. In the future, I must remember to wear more makeup so then I don't go out without feeling 100%. Confidence is key, and makeup is a huge part of how confident us ladies feel. But we don't want to appear too fake either do we ?! Where's the line? I love having a fake tan, but is it too much. I reckon I keep applying more and more makeup on a day to day basis. But certainly not nearly as much as some people. But I feel like this isn't so bad for me. Maybe I wouldn't feel so awful if I used a mineral product like Lily Lolo or Bare Escentuals. I could pile it on and still think I looked natural :) What do you recko...

I came back from Greece yesterday, and I still can't believe just how amazing it was! My skin reacts really badly to drastic changes in temperature, and so I broke out a bit, as well as getting bitten. Not a pretty face at the end of the week. I really need to invest in some SP4 mineral foundation...maybe Jane Iredale...?! Anyways, I spent about 1 hour choosing products in a pharmacy in Parikia, Paros. I wanted to get something from Korres, as I haven't tried their stuff yet, though I have heard about it a lot in the past year or so. Apivita was the other range that caught my eye, which being a natural therapy brand I totally clicked with. Plus they were the only two Greek brands available in the Pharmacy, most everything else was French. Check out my vlog about my time in the Greek Islands, and a bit of a demo of the products. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3zySeRcVvs So, I chose products that I actually needed, and had totally forgot to bring with me, as well as some treats:...
